Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 861

The unexpected delectable scents woke Janet right up.

She looked at the bountiful breakfast laid out on the table before her. All of her favorite foods were there, including toast, eggs, bacon, and there was even a steak. Even all of her favorite fruits were there!

It was her perfect breakfast. She guessed that Brandon must have arranged it for her that way. Janet beamed. Her dearest husband was always so thoughtful. She snapped a few photos of the gorgeous spread and sent them to Brandon. Then she began to eat, blissfully happy.

As soon as Janet had taken a bite of the bread however, her face shattered into a grimace. She spit it out immediately. It was not regular white bread but flavored with ginger, something she loathed. Brandon knew this, and always made sure to never put ginger in her food when he cooked for her.

This must be some kind of accident, she thought. Then she cut into the steak only to notice that it was seasoned with black pepper.

Janet hated that even more than ginger!

Hadn't Brandon arranged this breakfast?

Janet then looked at the bouquet of roses on the table. There was a black card nestled amongst the flowers.

Janet opened the card and saw the signature on it was Derek's, but the message didn't actually indicate who it was for.

The hotel was full of the designers and models from the Iridescent Show. The waiter must have sent over the meal to the wrong person.

Janet immediately stood up, trying to find the waiter.

But when she opened the door, she nearly bumped into Derek, who was standing right there.

"Where are you off to in such a hurry?" Derek held Janet and teased her. "Are you not satisfied with the flowers and breakfast?"

Pointing at herself, Janet asked in astonishment, "Do you mean that the flowers and breakfast are for me?"

Derek beamed at her, his smile beautiful and perfect. "Why so surprised? You don't believe I will fall in love with you? Don't be so modest. You're beautiful and unique, Janet. I fell in love with you at first sight."

He was deadly seriously, approaching Janet with an intense passion in his eyes. "If you think I'm being too rash, we can take our time. I'll pursue you until you agree to go out with me."

Janet took a few steps back to keep Derek's hands from touching her.
