Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 979

Astonished by the sudden kiss, Frank clenched his fists, but soon loosened his fingers.

It turned out that Elizabeth liked him back.

Simply knowing this left him ecstatic. Not long after, he wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her closer.

It was just a light peck, but Frank wanted more. The tip of his nose brushed against hers, and soon, their lips curved into smiles.

Frank cupped Elizabeth's cheek, kissing her back passionately.

Their kiss lasted until she was out of breath. Only then did Frank relent.

Although it was already autumn, it wasn't that cold in Barnes. Even so, Frank put Elizabeth's hand into the pockets of his coat, fearing that she might catch a cold.

Thereafter, they chatted until they eventually reached a residential building.

"This is my stop. I'm heading upstairs. Aunt Sophia is probably still waiting for me to have dinner with her." Elizabeth looked at Frank affectionately, unable to resist the urge to lean closer. Just as they were about to share another kiss, they heard someone cough from behind them.

"Aunt Sophia!" Elizabeth smiled at her aunt as the latter looked at them while carrying a big grocery bag.

Frank, on the other hand, cleared his throat and loosened his grip on Elizabeth's hand. He then offered, "Looks like you bought a lot of groceries,

Mrs. Perry. Allow me to help you!"

While holding back her laughter, Sophia handed the heavy grocery bag to Frank. She inconspicuously eyed him up and down to evaluate him. Not only was he polite and sensible, but was also goodlooking!

After taking the grocery bag, Frank went upstairs.

Meanwhile, Elizabeth and her aunt walked behind him. Sophia patted her niece's hand and sighed. "Gosh, Frank is a bit careless with the bag. Careful or it might break!"

Afterwards, she added, "Still, I can tell that he's working hard to impress me."

Upon hearing Sophia's complaint, Frank lifted the bag higher and ran upstairs quickly. When Elizabeth saw how he reacted, she chuckled.

Upon arriving at the door, Elizabeth bade him farewell.

Thereafter, Frank looked at Sophia and said, "Mrs. Perry, I'm Elizabeth's boyfriend now. You have nothing to worry about because I'll take good care of her."
