NovelEnglishThe Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire
Chapter 560: Passed OutLater that evening, Jwent to the Michelin–starred restaurant Ethan had booked.
Wearing just a simple T–shirt and jeans, Jstood out like a sore thumb in the fancy restaurant Sitting opposite her was a
calm man with a cold temperament.He propped his chin on his palm and watched helplessly as the woman tinkered with her
iPad.
"Is your work really that urgent?"
Seeing the dark circles under Janet‘s eyes, Ethan felt tired for her.It had been half an hour since Jsat down.She had been
on her iPad that whole time, tirelessly working on her design drafts.Jbroke off a piece of a cookie and popped it into her
mouth.
"We just received two big orders.Plus, we‘re launching another line this coming fashion week.Everyone‘s been so busy lately.In
fact, Elizabeth‘s still in the office." Ethan frowned slightly and plucked the iPad from her hands.
"Can you take a look atfor one second? You can continue working after dinner.I won‘t take up too much of your time, I
promise."
With the iPad taken away from her, Jlooked at him sheepishly.
"So you‘re aware that you‘ve been neglecting me?" Ethan grumbled.
Realizing he was whining like a child, he coughed in embarrassment and cut the steak for Janet.
"Let‘s eat first."
Jput on a charming smile and ate the steak that Ethan had cut into bite–size pieces for her.As she chewed, she looked
around the restaurant, deep in thought.
"This restaurant‘s design is pretty simple but elegant.The color schwill look good on clothes, I think."
"Why‘s your mind still on work?" Ethan felt both helpless and amused.
"Please pay attention to your husband, whom you‘ve neglected for so many days."
From under the table, Jgently touched Ethan‘s thigh and smiled innocently.
"But I‘ve never neglected you in bed."
With his chin resting on his palm, Ethan‘s eyebrows shot up.The more he got to know Janet, the more he felt that she was two
different people in and out of bed.Her eyes sparkling, Jcontinued, "It’s really inspiring to work with Draco.He makes me
enjoy being a workaholic.And when you‘re doing something you‘re passionate about, you‘ll really forget everything else."
"Good evening.It‘s a special night for couples.Tonight, we‘re giving out complimentary drinks to the couples dining here.Please
enjoy."
Staring at Ethan‘s glass, Jcommented, "Your drink is prettier than mine.Yours looks glittery somehow."
"Then let‘s exchange,"
Ethan suggested with a smile.He handed Jhis glass, and the latter marveled at it for a long time.
The color of this glass of drink was like a mix of blue and purple, like the Milky Way galaxy, shining and beautiful She took a sip
and her eyes widened in surprise.
"It‘s delicious! Would you like to have a taste?"
Looking at the colorful girly drink, Ethan wasn‘t interested at all.He proceeded to eat his steak and said, "I can‘t drink.I have to
drive later."

After dinner, Jwent back to the stuto continue working.
The deadline was fast approaching.She had been working tirelessly for a few more days.
One night, Elizabeth showed the rest of her design drawings to Janet.
After a while, she frowned and said, "You don‘t look well, Janet.Do you want to take a break?"
"Just a little sleepy.I‘ll have another cup of coffee later and I‘m sure I‘ll be fine." Jshook her head and smiled.
"Anyway, are these drawings done? I‘ll go through them later."
Seeing that Jwas completely immersed in work, Elizabeth didn‘t say anything more.
Anyway, after tonight, they would finally have sdays off.She set down the drawings and turned to leave.
Suddenly, she heard a loud thud from behind her.Elizabeth immediately turned around and found that Jhad passed out and
fallen to the ground.
