Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 874

In a high-end restaurant in Northcliffe.

Brandon and Janet were seated in VIP room. Its floor-to-ceiling windows allowed them to overlook the lush garden outside, but Janet was not really in the mood to sightsee.

The atmosphere was tense, and perhaps a little awkward. "Take a look," Brandon said as he handed her the menu. "See what you would like to eat."

Janet took the booklet and pretended to read it while closely observing Brandon's expressions.

"I asked you to check the menu. Why are you staring at me instead? Do I have the food items written on my face?" Brandon seemed like his usual self.

Convinced that he wasn't jealous or cranky after all, Janet finally allowed herself a small sigh of relief. She proceeded to peruse the menu for real.

The restaurant had a wide selection of specialty dishes, and they all looked absolutely scrumptious.

It was no wonder that the restaurant was known all over the city. Janet wasn't particularly hungry when they arrived, but the food was so delicious that she managed to eat quite a lot in no time.

She served some meatballs into Brandon's plate. "This one's good, try it."

He nodded and handed her a paper napkin. "You have sauce in the corner of your mouth."

Janet ignored the napkin and put her fork down. She looked Brandon in the eye and asked, "Tell me the truth. Are you still mad?"

If this were in the past, he wouldn't have thought twice about leaning over and wiping her mouth himself. Why was he suddenly just giving her a pitiful piece of paper napkin?

Brandon looked up with a faint smile. "Stop overthinking it. I don't get jealous over trivial things."

He knew for a fact that Janet was not interested in that guy called Derek.

After hearing the answer she wanted, Janet allowed herself another relieved sigh. "You just told me that you had plans for the afternoon. What will we do? Are we going back to the hotel and hang out in my room?"

"I would certainly like that, but do you think you're up for it?"

Janet froze, and her face immediately turned red.
