Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 830

Several minutes had passed while Brandon stood there before Janet finally noticed him. He gently touched her face and murmured, "Scary cat."

Janet's gorgeous eyes blinked as she considered what Vera had just said. "Is it your impression, too, Brandon, that I am overly possessive? Mrs. Harding just taught Laney a lesson. She warned that a woman's clinginess to her husband could be detrimental to his professional success." Janet responded somberly, propping her chin with one hand, "What Mrs. Harding said makes perfect sense. I was thinking that maybe I should extend my business trip so that you can have the extended time to yourself."

Brandon was at a loss for words. This really put him on pins and needles!

Looking at his face, Brandon was bent out of shape over this topic. "I wish I could cover your ears and tell you not to listen to such nonsense." He pulled out a seat and sat down beside Janet. He put his hand on her wrist and said, "Even if my mother is still alive, she'll probably just let you watch out for me. Therefore, a lengthy business trip is out of the question."

Simultaneously, Janet lifted her eyebrows and regarded Brandon, thinking that he was rather adorable.

Why did he constantly treat such little things with such seriousness? Just like a child?

"Fine!" Janet broke out in a wide grin.

As he considered what Vera had said, Brandon's unease persisted.

The entire mess was Garrett's doing. He was the one unable to improve relations between his mother and wife, why would Brandon also have to suffer? Brandon's expression soured. He reached for his phone and texted Garrett.

Brandon was here to show their love to others, but Vera's remarks almost had the opposite impact.

Brandon asked Garrett to come over immediately so he could help out with his mom and wife. It was imperative to him that his family shouldn't have any impact on him.

When Janet noticed Brandon looking resentfully at his phone, she had no idea who he was messaging.

"What are you doing there?" Janet inquired inquisitively and desired to know what Brandon was doing.

"I'm lending a hand to Laney." Brandon put down his phone and stared into her lovely eyes. And then he leaned and kissed her passionately.

As soon as the kiss ended, the lights in the banquet hall went dim. Instruments like the saxophone and piano played a mellow, evocative melody. Brandon helped Janet in standing.

"Let's dance!"

Janet shook her head and said, "No, I'll make the worst dancing partner!"

Brandon smiled slightly as he took her hand and led her into the dance floor.
