Chapter 198: Coming Back
The Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire
âls it out friendsâ Janet wrapped herself in the blanket and sat on the bed Her face still looked flushed.
She pulled the black rubber band on her wrist with her teeth and tied her hair into a messy bun
Her intuition told her that something was wrong Charit was a womanâ name .Janet had lived with Ethan
for so long, but he had never mentioned any woman, including this Charia. She didnât think he had a
close relationship with any woman
Besides, considering the woman had called him at this how it seemed apparent she had a special
relationship with
Ethan knew that Charis was returning from brand We just didnât expect to receive a call from her at this
hour
âSheâs an acquaintance. I think she has called to tell me somethingâ Ethan explained briefly. He
couldn't think about anything else when lanet was lying beside him.
Her body was soft and tender, as if she had no bones Although she looked petite, ripples of pleasure
had exploded in Ethanâs body as he cupped her warm flesh whilst caressing her smooth skin.
Ethan couldnât contain his excitement anymore. He leaned closer to kiss her again, but Janet pushed
him away
âWhy havenât you mentioned her before? Why is she calling you late at night?â Janet asked, cocking
her head to the side
âShe lives abroad now. Itâs morning there. She is probably too busy to remember the time difference,â
he said, wrapping his arm around Janetâs shoulder. Charis was a workaholic. She would drown in work
and forget that she had a personal life.
Ethan liked collaborating with such people who put work above everything else. That was one of the
reasons why he started a business with Charis Janet felt there was something more to it. Things
werenât as honest as Ethan made it seem.
âShouldnât you call her back? She probably has something important to say.â Ethan was in no mood to
talk to Chairs. He wanted to continue making out with his wife. But Janet wanted him to call her back. If
he didnât, it would only garner her suspicion.
âOkay. Iâll call her now.â Ethan took his phone and called Charis. It was noisy on the other end of the
line.
Charis was in California. She was on her annual vacation and had just finished a short trip
âWhat happened? Were you so absorbed in work that you didnât have the time to even answer my
call?â Charis sounded enthusiastic.
âItâs eleven in the evening in Seacisco.â Ethan pulled Janet in his arms. Her pouted lips and sullen face
increased his desire to kiss her; she looked adorable. He leaned forward and bit her lip again.
âWhatâs up?â he asked over the phone, hoping to end the conversation soon.
âIâm returning next week, right? I want to bring you a gift. Do you want anything specific? But nothing
too expensive, okay? Iâve indeed made some money from the previous project. But Garrett has ripped
me off.â
âNo, thanks. If thereâs nothing else, Iâll hang up,â Ethan replied tersely as his mind was filled with other
thoughts.
âOkay. Letâs catch up after I return. I havenât seen you guys for a long time.â Charis hung up the phone.
She knew Ethan very well. Judging from his tone, it seemed obvious that he didnât want to talk to her
right now.
Ethan put down his phone. However, Janet still looked unhappy. She could hear the muffled voice of
the woman from the other end. She could only make out the last sentence where Charis said she
wanted to catch up with Ethan.
âShe called to tell me that she was coming back.â Ethan pulled the blanket away and buried his head in
Janetâs bosom, peppering little kisses.
âShall we carry on? Iâm so hard; itâs very uncomfortable, you know.â Janet was no longer in the mood to
have sex with him. She subconsciously pushed him away and asked, âAre you two close?â
Charis seemed like an excellent woman who had studied and worked abroad. Moreover, she wanted
to meet him first thing she came back. Her intention seemed obvious.
Ethan sensed something was bothering Janet. He understood he wouldnât be able to have sex with her
tonight
He pushed himself off Janet and rested on the bed, pulling her in his arms. âWe havenât been in touch
for a while.â he said, staring at the ceiling.
After a momentâs thought, he added, âShe also works in the Larson Group; she is a senior executive.
She has been exploring the overseas market. Youâll probably meet her after she comes back.â
