Chapter 437
The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride
The wedding was being held outside on the lawn of a manor that Ethan happened to own.
It might be because Ethan had prevented the other cars from entering this area ahead of time that they could drive unimpededly.
Janet was so anxious that her palms were pouring out sweat. Looking at the scenery passing by outside the car window, she kept taking deep breaths in order to calm her nerves.
âRelax, youâre making me nervous, Mrs. Larson.â Ethan held Janetâs quivering hand, his eyes full of tenderness for her.
Turning to give him a look, Janet asked in a solemn voice, âIf you do this, will your true identity as Brandon Larson be revealed?â
âItâs not too much of a big deal compared to getting married to you.â Ethan was concerned that Janet might overthink things, so he looked at her to see how she was doing.
The womanâs face was a little flustered, her drooping eyelashes shaking ever so slightly, and her soft and slender fingers were fiddling with the hemline of her wedding dress.
Ethan knew that Janet was very nervous today.
She didnât like to stir up trouble for others. She was always afraid of becoming a burden to others.
But she and he had been married, and it was only right that they took care of each other.
âJanet.â Clenching Janetâs hand, Ethan looked expectant right then. âFrom now on, the person next to you is Brandon Larson. Do you have any objections to starting a new life with him as the wife of Brandon?â
Janetâs heart skipped a beat and her face reddened unnaturally.
In fact, she was willing to right then.
But Ethan still had the feeling that Janet was still rejecting him since she didnât say anything. He looked down at her gently and then said, âThereâs absolutely no rush. I didnât ask you to give me an answer right away.â
Their car made its way into the manor.
The whole white villa was overflowing with guests.
Seeing the luxury car coming in, everyone started to clap their hands.
Janet was shocked by the grandness of the wedding. On the road just outside the mansion, all types of luxury cars lined up and the queue was about several miles.
It looked like the lawn in the manor could hold thousands of people. Those who attended included celebrities from various fields and rich families, as well as those in the media, came to witness the joyous occasion.
âEthan, you should at least put a mask on. If you expose yourself, the Lester family will come right away to cause trouble for you, wonât they?â In addition to being shocked by this scene, Janet was worried about Ethan revealing his current identity.
âThere must be other reasons why youâre hiding your true identity. Even though I have no idea what the specific situation is, I donât want you to fall short of success just because of me.â As Janet said this, her nose started to twitch.
Ethan was startled for a few seconds. It looked like Janet had already guessed it.
His wife was really so smart.
Ethan placed his arm around Janetâs shaking shoulder and whispered in her ear, âI just want to make it public that Brandon and Janet are married. In this way, it will be common knowledge that youâre Mrs.
Larson. Then youâll feel at ease and wonât feel that Iâm not being sincere enough. As for what youâre worried about, Iâm going to handle it.â
Janetâs moist eyes widened. Tears wet her curled eyelashes, which gave a charming and enchanting look.
Janet cried even harder and a hint of bitterness surged up in her heart.
Ethan hurried to take out a square handkerchief from his suit pocket and proceeded to wipe the tears off Janetâs face. He was too anxious to say a coherent sentence for a moment there. While wiping the tears off her face, he tried to comfort her, âPlease stop your tears now, babe. Youâll need to fix your makeup if you keep crying like that.â
Janet smiled through her tears. The man before her was the decisive and ruthless CEO of the Larson Group. But now he was acting so cautious in front of her.
She was feeling moved and she didnât know if she should cry or laugh for a moment there.
âEthan, since youâre willing to marry me, of course, I wonât be giving up on you so easily. Even though being Brandon Larsonâs wife is no easy thing, and I may be too young and not qualified enough, Iâll definitely try my best to be stronger and make you proud of me. If you feel worn out and want to go home one day, Iâll always be by your side the whole entire way.â
The two embraced each other.
All sorts of feelings welled up in Ethanâs heart right then. âJanetâ¦â
Ethan could tell that underneath Janetâs gentle and calm appearance, there was an incomparably strong, unyielding heart and that she would always stand by her man. She was obviously a very good woman.
The wedding music sounded out at that time.
Ethan led Janet out of the car, interlocked ten fingers with hers, and they both walked into the wedding site.
