Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 93

The frown on Ethan's face deepened. He became even more confused.

"I don't quite get it. Explain what you mean clearly." He took a sip of the beer and stared blankly at the sea of lights in a distance.

Garrett shook his head and narrowed his eyes. "I think you deserve it. You are married, but you still behave like a bachelor. It's appalling that you don't even understand a woman's behavior. Listen to me. Your wife just told you that some men are making advances at her. A normal husband would get jealous and ask questions about these men, but you just waved it off. You didn't show care. What do you expect her to think? She's unhappy because of your nonchalance. She thinks you don't care about her. Doesn't her unhappiness show that she cares about you and how you feel about her? Dude, you need to learn how to interpret the signals women give!"

Everything dawned on Ethan at this moment. He leaned against the railing and smiled brightly. His side profile was so handsome.

It gladdened his heart to know that this was why she was displeased.

"I just hope that she can ask Brandon for help when necessary. That means they have to become close first. What should I do now?"

After pondering for a while, Garrett replied, "Well, you can't possibly get jealous of yourself.

In the end, you would at least prove to your wife that you genuinely love her. I'm sure she would be happy when her feelings are reciprocated. I'm not supposed to be teaching you this. Your relationship with her is hopeless if you can't do it without any help. Man up!"

In a low voice, he continued, "You have turned me into your marriage counselor. I'm helping you build your marriage for free, but you will reap all the benefits in the end."

Garrett knew Ethan well. He saw him as an opportunist right from their high school days.

Ethan chuckled and waved his hand playfully. "What are friends for? Anyway, I will give it a try."

"Keeping secrets can cause a strain and even destroy a marriage. You can't just keep her in the dark forever. When are you going to reveal your true identity to her?" Garrett asked seriously.

Ethan was silent for a moment.

"You have a point there, Garrett. But I can't tell her just yet," he finally replied.
