NovelEnglishThe Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire
Chapter 244: WarningEver since the incident that happened in the cafe, Jhad never seen Kent again. And just when she thought that her life was
starting to get peaceful again, she received a call from him. Jwas still at work, so she didn’t want to answer the call.
However, it was hard to ignore his incessant calls. so in the end, she relented and answered it.
“Aren’t you going to thankfor saving your life last time, Miss Lind?” Jcould hear Kent chuckling as he said those words.
Originally, she just didn’t like him. But after what he did, she now hated his guts. However, it was true that she did owe him a big
favor. If he hadn’t stopped her from drinking the coffee, she might’ve been the one who got raped.
“Fine. I hear you. What do you want, Mr. Perkins?” Jasked after glancing around vigilantly.
“Hmm... What do I want? Would you like to drop by my house tomorrow night?” Kent bantered.
Because of his senseless joke, Jgot impatient. Upon hearing that she was about to hang up, Kent had to get serious.
“Sorry, I was just kidding. Don’t be mad. Well, how about having dinner withinstead?”
Naturally, Jdidn’t want to see Kent on her own. She figured it would be best to ask Ethan to tag along.
“Alright, I’ll treat you to dinner, but I’ll decide the tand location,” she answered.
“Sure. Just sendthe address once you’ve decided.” A smile appeared on Kent’s face.
That evening, after work, Jand Ethan went to see Kent.She booked a table in a Japanese restaurant, which was famous for
their crabs. When they entered the restaurant, they saw the Japanese-themed ambiance of the establishment. There were small
bridges, a pond and rockeries, and skoi in the pond. It was tranquil inside. The moment the door behind Kent opened up, he
sat up straight and turned about.
“Miss Lind, you’re—” But before he could finish his sentence, his face dimmed. Behind Janet, there was a tall man. Ethan was
wearing all black; his eyes could barely be seen beneath the baseball cap he was wearing.
All Kent could see was his aquiline nose and jaw.
“My husband wanted to thank you in person,” Jsaid with a smile. She had already expected this outcome.
While she was speaking, she urged Ethan to sit down.
“Oh... it’s no big deal!” Kent pretended to be okay with it, albeit he was actually reluctant of the man’s presence.
Ethan, on the other hand, had worn a stern expression since the moment he entered the room. He didn’t look grateful to Kent at
all. Upon noticing the look on his face, Jpinched his arm. It was only then that Ethan spoke.
“My wife is right. We do thank you for your help,” he said politely.
Then, he picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip. All of a sudden, he cast Kent a sharp gaze.
“But if you dare touch my wife again, I will not spare you, Mr. Perkins.”
Kent just raised his eyebrows at Ethan and said nothing.He had already inquired about Janet’s husband before. In his eyes,
Ethan was nothing but the embarrassing bastard son of the Lester family. He believed that there was nothing Ethan could do to
him. Because if that weren’t the case, he would’ve already stayed away from Janet.
That being said, Kent didn’t take his warning seriously. He just put on a smile and raised his glass.
“Don’t getwrong. Jand I are just friends. No more, no less.”
