Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 921

"Go upstairs and get changed." At the sight of Janet's black bra, Brandon gulped. He turned around and stared at the washing basin. "I'll deal with the mess here."

Janet turned around to go upstairs but then stopped in her tracks and walked back uneasily and asked, "I want to ask you something. Why don't you want to talk to me about the thing with Draco?"

She hugged Brandon from behind. "Are you upset?" Brandon turned around and held Janet's shoulders in his arms, meeting her big, beautiful eyes with his. Brandon couldn't pretend anymore. He chuckled and said, "Because I've always known that Draco likes you. So I wasn't surprised when you told me. I'm just wondering how you found out. I thought Draco had hidden his affections so well."

Janet was stunned, embarrassed to have not seen it herself.

"Does everyone know that he likes me? Am I the only one who didn't realize?"

"I don't know. Even if others knew, they'd never say anything. You don't have to worry about it. It's not your fault if a man happens to like you. You're beautiful and charming. That's why so many people want you." Brandon couldn't help but hold Janet tightly to him, his face buried in her neck. He took a deep breath and said, "Fortunately, I got you before anyone else could. Honey, you're all mine."

Curling up in his arms, Janet felt Brandon's natural scent was like a special elixir to her, curing her of her irritability and worries.

But she was still a bit conflicted. "What do you mean by you got me before anyone else could? Derek also said something like that today. What's wrong with you guys? Do you all think of me as a possession?"

Brandon held her tighter and tried to placate her. "No, I didn't mean it like that. Honey, please don't misunderstand me."

"I'm not a possession, and I have a say in who I wanna be with," Janet said in a muffled voice.

"You aren't a possession. You're my wife and my treasure..." Brandon stroked her back. Seeing her eyes redden as if she was about to cry, he felt terrible. He said in a sullen tone, "It's Derek again. It seems that he'll need to be disciplined."

After casting him a sidelong glance, Janet raised her hand and pinched the muscles on his right arm. "Calm down. Don't always be so eager to fight."

Brandon had no choice but to nod obediently.
