Chapter 1292 The Wedding Ring Was Missing
The Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire
Shaking his head helplessly, Brandon said, âYour call was hard to miss. Only someone as drunk as
Garrett wouldnât have seen it.â Since her trick was exposed, Janet stuck out her tongue in
embarrassment and asked Laney over the phone, âYou heard everything Garrett said. Tell me, what do
you think?â
âIâ¦â Laney didnât know what to say. âI donât knowâ¦â she murmured.
With a heavy sigh, Janet said, âA drunk mind speaks a sober heart. You should be able to see that he
has repented. Canât you give him another chance?â
Even Laney couldnât deny that she was indeed deeply moved by what Garrett said.
Besides, she had also been thinking of him and sometimes, she would wonder if he had fallen in love
with someone else while they were separated.
Now, after hearing his confession, her heart was swayed once again. The love she had been
concealing in her heart made it impossible for her to deny that she could not forget about Garrett.
âI need time to think,â Laney said. Noticing a hint of wavering in her words, Janet and Brandon were
relieved.
âSo you sent the divorce papers and the ring to Garrett to make him realize his true feelings?â Janet
teased.
âWhat divorce papers? I didnât send him anything of the sort. All I did was take off my ring and stop
wearing it. 1 was wondering why he was reacting so strangely!â Laney exclaimed.
With her eyes wide open in surprise, Janet asked, âWhatâs going on then? Garrett said he received the
divorce papers and the wedding ring you sent him.
He thought you really wanted to separate from him for good, and thatâs why he was so upset today.â
Laney suddenly thought of something and went to see if her ring was still there, and was shocked to
find that it was missing. Frowning deeply, she said, âI donât know whatâs going on, but I will find out who
sent those things to him in my name.â Concerned, Janet said, âYou have to be careful. Since that
person managed to steal your wedding ring without you even noticing it, they have to be dangerous.
Who knows what they might do to you.â
Laney agreed in a serious tone, âDonât worry, Iâll be careful. As for Garrettâ¦â
After a momentâs hesitation, she softened her voice and continued, âLet him say the same things to me
when he is sober. Right now, I donât trust a drunk manâs words.â
Janet couldnât help but laugh. âAs long as you two love birds can work it out,
nothing else matters. Alright, I wonât disturb you any longer. We need to help Garrett get home. Heâs
passed out drunk.â âOkay, be careful,â Laney said, slightly worried about Garrett. She then added a few
more instructions before hanging up.
Janet and Brandon lost their appetite after the call, so they helped Garrett go home.
On their way, Garrett kept yelling, âLaney, I love you!â He would then burst into
tears and cry out, âI donât want a divorce!â His behavior was so exasperating to
Brandon that he even considered dropping him off on the side of the road.
Even Janet, who was usually very patient, was drained from Garrettâs behavior.
After finally reaching Garrettâs home, Brandon was about to escort him to the
master bedroom when the servant suddenly stopped him and said, âLet me help
Mr. Harding. He has been sleeping in the nursery for a while now.â
After finally reaching Garrettâs home, Brandon was about to escort him to the master bedroom when
the servant suddenly stopped him and said, âLet me help Mr. Harding. He has been sleeping in the
nursery for a while now.â
âThe nursery?â
Taken by surprise, Janet asked, âWhy?â
Supporting Garrett, the servant explained, âWell, ever since Mrs. Harding and their daughter left, Mr.
Harding has been sleeping in the nursery. He suffers from insomnia if he tries to sleep elsewhere.â
Brandon furrowed his brows slightly and asked, âInsomnia? Is it serious?â answered
With a firm nod, the servant answered, âYes, and his condition has been getting worse. He has even
started to find it difficult to fall asleep in the nursery now. Heâs been relying on sleeping pills, yet he can
only sleep for a few hours at night.â
