Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 981

Derek had booked a table at a fancy restaurant downtown inside a five-star hotel. Many people had gathered in the restaurant after work.

Derek pulled over to the side of the road and parked his Maserati. Janet and Elizabeth then exited the car and walked to Derek's side.

Elizabeth was standing tall and had a cold expression on her pretty face. On the other hand, Janet looked pure and gentle. Her long hair was curly, and she was wearing a dress and a pink coat. They were two different types of beauties who, along with a handsome man, drew a lot of attention. Derek, of course, was aware of the onlookers ' attention. He didn't care at all and even felt a sense of complacency. His ego was greatly satisfied by the envious gazes of the passers-by.

"Please keep your face expressionless. You're really annoying." Janet couldn't help but complain when she saw Derek's smug expression.

Derek, like a true gentleman, opened the restaurant door for them. "Why? Can't I smile? Janet, you're becoming increasingly cruel to me."

He approached Janet deliberately and snickered, "But it doesn't matter. I like bad women."

"You're having fun being a playboy now. But you will be distressed if you meet your true love in the future." Janet was certain that she would witness that day, since she had seen the same thing happen to Garrett.

Derek didn't take it seriously. Squinting his eyes, he teased, "You're already married. I don't believe I'll ever find true love."

Janet did not comment. They continued walking into the restaurant.

The waiter was very enthusiastic as he led them to their table.

Elizabeth smiled as she listened to them bickering. She removed her coat, pulled out a chair, and sat down. She spun around and peered out the window. "This place has a beautiful view."

A dense ginkgo forest surrounded the restaurant.

"What would you ladies like to eat? Burritos and tacos are two of their signature dishes here." Derek looked through the menu, introducing them to the famous dishes. He and his manager had visited this restaurant several times.

Since both Janet and Elizabeth weren't picky eaters, they let Derek order food for them. He then ordered some food and a bottle of the most expensive wine in the restaurant.

When Elizabeth noticed that the dinner had not yet been served, she took out a document and handed it to Janet. "I've given Derek the draft. This is a copy. Derek, didn't you say something was wrong with the design? What is it?"

Derek was rendered speechless. "Wait a minute. I'll look at it again," he said, pretending to cough slightly.
