Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 870

The brightly lit city was a blur as the luxury car zoomed past, heading quickly towards the hotel. Janet felt dizzy and rested against Brandon's chest. She felt uncomfortable and massaged her eyes.

"My head hurts. They made me drink a lot..." She pressed her cheek against Brandon's neck and then she lifted her hand to rub his earlobe.

Brandon's eyes went dark. The choking alcohol smell from Janet made him feel uneasy, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Janet was so drunk she was acting without thinking. From time to time, she whispered sweet nothings in his ear and the smell of alcohol in her breath enveloped him. "Let me tell you a secret. My husband has a powerful business empire in Barnes and Seacisco, also, he's the best to me..." Janet began to move restlessly in his arms before she completed her statement.

Brandon urged her, playing with her long curly hair, "Continue." He was obviously enjoying this. A soft expression formed on his face, and the smile at the corners of his mouth was enchanting.

Janet seemed to understand what he meant. She pressed closer to his ear and kept babbling away about her husband. With patience, the man listened. His eyes were kind, and his smile reached his eyes even deeper.

Perhaps it was that being drunk came with mood swings. Janet suddenly began to sob. Tears trickled down her cheeks in a rush and landed on the back of his hand. Brandon wiped her tears and asked lowly, "Do you feel uncomfortable? Does it hurt? Do you want to see a doctor?"

It was indeed an awful night; however, Janet felt healed at the sound of Brandon's voice. Finally, she slowly fell into a deep sleep in his arms. They had gotten to the hotel by the time Janet woke up again. Brandon helped her out of the car.

By the time they got into the elevator, Janet's feet were frail as though she was a piece of driftwood in the sea. She clutched unto the man by her and for a second, she met his slightly chilly eyes. She panicked all of a sudden and didn't know where to turn her eyes to. But a few moments later, she realized the handsome man before her was her husband and Janet smiled. Completely oblivious to the watchful eyes around, she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him.

Watching Janet cry and laugh, Brandon simply stretched out his hand to touch her forehead. She had a normal body temperature, and there was no fever. It seemed she was just drunk. Not wanting anyone to see Janet in her drunken state, Brandon purposefully stood in front of her and pressed her into the corner of the elevator.
