Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 803

Janet just cast a look at Dalores, and then walked out of the room to greet Laney herself.

Assisted by a servant, an elegantly-dressed woman got out of the posh Mercedes-Maybach. She was wearing a salmon pink dress under a creamy white knitted coat. Her long hair was nicely coifed. To complete her sophisticated look, a strand of lustrous pearl necklace hung on her slender neck.

When she saw Janet, Laney smiled. "I didn't expect you to come and pick me up."

"Well, I know you're coming," Janet said as she walked towards Laney. She then reached out to hold Laney's hands. "I'm so happy to see you looking so good."

Taking a glance at the studio, Laney asked in a soft voice, "Is there a celebration inside? I can hear it from here. Quite lively, it seems."

"Oh, it's nothing," Janet said, smiling. "We're just talking about work, so it's a bit spirited."

Dalores rushed out of the studio, thinking that there would be a big order. She wanted to welcome the lady that the receptionist mentioned. She had just taken a few steps when she saw Janet and Laney coming in, talking and laughing. Dalore's smile froze for a moment. She then turned around with disappointment.

Dalores was well-informed from all the gossips she had heard from the upper-class ladies' circle. Laney's birth family was not really wealthy, so she had no status in the Harding family. But she was carrying a Harding child so she was just relying on how favorably the child might be to them.

Dalores sneaked a glance at Laney's belly. Noticing the baby bump, she sneered.

Laney was just another plain Jane who got lucky to be pregnant with a Harding child.

Janet brought Laney into the dressing room where a stunning outfit was hanging in the closet. She removed the dress from the rack and motioned for Laney to try it on. "As you're pregnant now, I may have to modify the waistline so you can wear it at the dinner party." Laney nodded, smiling sheepishly. She then went inside the fitting room and closed the door behind her.

A little while later, Laney opened the door. She stuck out her head, revealing her slightly crimson face.

"Something's wrong?" asked Janet in a low voice as she shuffled over to Laney. "The dress doesn't fit you?"

Laney shook her head and said, "The dress fits me very well, but I seldom wear such closefitting clothes so I feel a little embarrassed."

She then walked out of the fitting room.

Janet's eyes lit up. The black dress fitted Laney to aT.
