Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 98

How could Janet not feel guilty?

Although Ethan seemed casual, he treated her like a princess. If she planned to leave him for some reason one day, the pain would feel excruciating as if someone had ripped her heart right out of her chest.

The wind whistled in the night. Janet lowered her head and tried to get hold of herself.

"I could have handled it on my own, Ethan." Her voice drifted with the wind.

She had always been alone and fought her own battles.

Ethan walked up to her, and Janet saw his yellowing canvas shoes.

She looked up, and her gaze met his enigmatic eyes.

Ethan smiled and gently stroked his hair. "You have a husband now. It's different."

Ethan's broad chest blocked the wind as he stared into her eyes.

"Let's go back. It's late,"

Janet said in a hushed voice. His words both confused and touched her. She turned around and continued to walk forward.

Ethan followed Janet and caught up with her.

The cicadas chirped in the quiet summer night.

All of a sudden, Ethan felt something touch his finger. He looked down and saw Janet clasp his finger.

A smile tugged at the corners of his lips, and his face softened. He gently held her hand and caressed her fingers with his thumb.

"I really want to kiss you. Can I?" Ethan's voice was thick with lust as he stared at her supple lips.

Janet's eyes widened. She didn't know what to say to him. She felt his actions proved his affection for her.

Janet's ears turned red. "Why are asking me that?" she murmured shyly.

Ethan shook his head in amusement. Janet had just told him that he couldn't touch her without her permission.

Ethan leaned toward her. He kissed her lower lip and gently licked it. Janet moaned in the back of her throat.
