Chapter 1370 Secret Of Passionate Love
The Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire
During breakfast, Janet reached for the warm milk handed to her by Brandon, took a taste, and
wondered aloud, "What made you skip work today?"
Brandon was dressed casually in a plain black tee and an apron tied around his waist.His laid-back
attire softened his usually stern demeanor, making him seem far more approachable.
Setting a beautifully arranged breakfast before Janet, he took a seat beside her.
With a sideways glance and a gentle smile, he confessed, "I wanted to be with you today."
When she noticed him studying her as he spoke, Janet got the message. His concern was about her
recent test results.Heâd taken a day off just to provide some comfort. After placing the milk aside, Janet
leaned forward to place a soft kiss on his lips and said, "No need to fret.Iâm mentally tough.I can handle
this."
Barely had she resumed her place when he wrapped an arm around her, pulling her close for another
lingering kiss. As he reluctantly pulled back, Brandon teased with a wicked grin, "The milk is sweet."
A blush instantly colored Janetâs face.
With a mixture of embarrassment and mild annoyance, she playfully jabbed him in the chest. Brandonâs
laughter filled the room.Her spirits seemed high and that eased his worry. "So, are you spending the
day at the studio or resting at home?"
Brandon asked while adding some more food to Janetâs plate.
After mulling it over, Janet decided on the studio, saying, "I fear Iâd dwell too much at home.Staying
busy at work seems best."
Unable to convince her otherwise, Brandon drove her to her studio.He insisted on escorting her to her
office once the car was parked. "You should head to work,"
Janet urged, lightly pushing against Brandonâs chest.
"Sean will be swamped with work." No matter how much she prodded, Brandon didnât relent.
"My day is yours.Youâre my top priority, not the office."
Exasperated, Janet gave him a stern look and playfully prodded him.
"How can I get anything done with you around? If you donât go now and keep distracting me, Iâm going
to lose my temper!"
Seeing her irritation, Brandon begrudgingly conceded. Before he left, he reminded her to take care of
herself and to call him if anything came up. He was a far cry from the Larson Groupâs usual CEO. Once
Brandon had finally made his exit, Lexi, a silent observer all along, walked in with coffee in hand.
"Boss, Mr.Larson turned to look at your office three times on his way out.How do you two manage to
keep the flame alive after so many years of marriage? Whatâs your secret?" she asked in awe.
Flushing, Janet shrugged and said, "No secrets here.Weâre just a regular couple."
"Oh, please!" Lexi smirked.
"I saw it all.Mr.Larson couldnât take his eyes off you.It was evident even to a love novice like me."
Embarrassed, Janet quickly interrupted, "Why are you so interested in my love life? Looking for a
boyfriend, arenât you? could give you some pointers when you start dating."
With a thoughtful look, Janet continued, "Tell me about your ideal guy.Perhaps I could help."
Now it was Lexiâs turn to blush.
"I⦠I.." she stammered, lost for words.
Seeing Lexiâs flustered response, Janet grinned slyly and teased, "Looks like someoneâs already
smitten."
"Donât be silly, Boss!"
Mortified, Lexi beat a hasty retreat.
Watching Lexiâs hasty exit, Janet chuckled.
