Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 993

"Calm down. I'll be there." Janet smiled. She hadn't expected Estella to invite her, but she agreed without hesitation.

But, if it was only for such a little thing, how could Estella keep calling her instead of sending her a message directly?

"Do you have anything else for which you need my assistance?" Janet inquired cautiously.

Estella laughed over the phone. "You do know me." She coughed a bit and then continued, "I'd like you to do me one last favor. Since our collaboration is about to come to an end, it will be difficult for me to ask for your help in the future."

"Are you going to look into Brandon again for your new novel?" Janet asked. Then she refused without hesitation. "I'm afraid I can't help you this time. Last time, I promised you without his permission. He was already upset. I can't make a decision for him again."

Estella was not surprised by Janet's refusal. Instead, she was joyful. "You misunderstood me, Janet. I'm not going to ask him for help this time. I'm hoping you can help me ask your husband if he could give Sean half a day off for the award ceremony this weekend."

Then Estella's voice turned soft. "I want to go to the party with Sean."

Janet was taken aback. "He has to ask for leave on weekends? Oh my goodness! Is Sean actually working all year around?"

Estella was helpless. "Shouldn't you focus on why I asked Sean to come with me?"

Janet suddenly realized something. "I had a feeling something was wrong with you the last time we met. Instead of asking Brandon for assistance, you discovered a new way to gather the materials."

"Didn't I tell you last time?" Estella admitted, a little embarrassed.

"I can't decide on my own, but I can ask him for you when I go back." Janet finally agreed.

When Brandon returned home in the evening, he immediately saw Janet busy cooking in the kitchen.

He had been working so hard all day that he didn't even have time for lunch. He even felt a dull pain in his stomach in the afternoon.

So when he now smelled the delicious aroma of the food, he felt very hungry.

When he saw Janet busy in the kitchen, his heart softened and his tense expression relaxed.

Brandon removed his coat, rolled up his sleeves, and prepared to go into the kitchen to help her. But at that exact moment, Janet emerged from the kitchen with a big bowl of fish soup.
