Mr. CEO, You're Just A Substitute novel Chapter 49

Starry was getting ready for bed, but as soon as she lay down, the doorbell rang.

She frowned, wrapped herself in a blanket, got up, and went downstairs.

There was a screen next to the door. She pressed it, and it showed the situation outside the door.

Under the dim night light, Filip was standing outside.

The man's eyebrows were cold, and the expression on his face was not bad, but not good either.

Probably because she didn't open the door, he frowned impatiently and pressed the doorbell again.

Starry turned off the screen and reached for the door.

The black door was open, and the night wind outside blew in. She felt a little cold and subconsciously tightened the blanket on her body.

"Filip?"

"You're going to sleep?"

Filip looked at Starry. Her face was clean, without any makeup. He could see her light-colored pajamas in the gap in the blanket. It looked like she was ready to sleep.

"I was about to sleep when I heard the doorbell."

Starry frowned, "Is there anything wrong?"

When she said this, her tone was normal. There was no anger, nor joy.

Filip suddenly remembered the day not long after they married, he forgot his phone in the study and he went back to pick it up. When she came down to open the door for him, she was also wearing pajamas, but with a smile on her face, with a light under her eyes. She sounded happy at that time.

She used to love him so much, but not anymore.

Filip felt a little uneasy. He controlled his thought. "I'll handle Lucia for you."

The wind at night was bitterly cold, it wasn't the right place to talk at the door.

Starry took a step back. "Come in for a cup of tea."

With that, she loosened the doorknob, tightened the blanket on her body, and walked upstairs.

Starry went back to her room, put on a white cardigan, and clipped her hair, leaving only some tufts of hair hanging beside her cheeks.

Filip watched her make tea without stopping her, which was rare.

Starry made the tea dexterously. To not embarrass the Pearson family, she had learned etiquette for a year, and tea art for half a year.

She had always been fast in learning things. The teachers who teach her said that others make tea just for tea, but when she made tea, she looked elegant, like noble ladies from old times.

Starry brought the tea to Filip. "What are you coming here for?"

Her tone was calm, but straight to the point.

Filip touched the teacup and tapped it with his index finger. "I will make her apologize to you about the plagiarism, and she will not bother you again."

Starry raised an eyebrow. "Sounds like a nice way to deal with it."

She tickled her lips but smiled very lightly. Her eyes fell on Filip's body. Filip didn't like the way she looked at him.

But he remembered what he was doing here so late. So, he didn't argue, but instead asked, "How do you want to deal with it?"

"Deal with it the way I should."

Lucia spread rumors and slandered her. What she did were all illegal. Apologizing wouldn't work for Starry.

Filip was stunned. His indifferent eyebrows looked a little emotional. "You don't have to fight the Scott family."

The end was clear.

Starry's wealth was far from the Scott family.
