Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 823

Janet lowered her head and smiled. "What's wrong with you?" she said, pretending to be bossy. She stood up and brushed Brandon's wet hair out of his face. "You need to dry your hair before you go to bed," she added. "If you catch a cold tomorrow, no one will look after you."

Brandon was surprised; he'd never seen Janet act bossy before.

"Won't you stay and look after me?" he asked, amused.

Taking the hair dryer out of the drawer, Janet smiled. "Come here," she said impassively, "and I'll dry your hair."

Brandon walked over to Janet, still slightly confused. "Why are you being so bossy all of a sudden?" he asked.

He tried to remember whether he'd said something to upset her. "If I make you unhappy, you have to tell me," he urged.

Janet pursed her lips. The hair dryer was a little noisy, and it drowned out her chuckle.

When Brandon's hair was completely dry, Janet switched off the dryer. "Didn't you secretly envy Garrett?" she asked softly. "Well," she continued, "I'll let you experience a woman with a passion for dominance."

Brandon smiled, moved.

Janet could tell that he was in a good mood. She rolled her eyes, wrapped her arms around his neck and snuggled into his arms. "Brandon, I may be on a business trip in a few days."

Brandon remained unbothered. "Who are you going with?" he asked brightly.

"It's Mr. Wesley," Janet replied. "He's taking me to the Iridescent Show. The show is only held once every five years, and I happened to be able to attend it this time. I'm very lucky."

To placate Brandon as soon as possible, she mentioned Draco quickly and in a low voice, before emphasizing less relevant details.

Bandon, however, had good hearing. As soon as he caught the key point, he pursed his lips and said, "Since you've already decided you're going, you're not discussing with me; you're informing me."

Janet touched her nose. Indeed, she had agreed to Draco without hesitation.

She tugged at Brandon's sleeve. "But this is my job," she reasoned. "I can't refuse. Besides, I went on business trips before. You didn't object back then."

Brandon's mouth formed an unhappy line. The fact that Janet had to go on a business trip with Draco alone was upsetting. His good mood vanished.
