Mr. CEO, You're Just A Substitute novel Chapter 59

Hearing Austin's voice, the nurse walked over to Filip.

The nurse's skirt blocked his view, and Filip frowned. After the nurse left, he saw Starry again not far away.

He and Starry have been divorced for half a year. Even though it wasn't a negotiated marriage, she had the right to be with someone else.

However, when he saw Starry handing Wyatt a spoon, he inexplicably remembered that one year, at the Pearson residence, he went back late because of work. Starry and Frances waited for him to go back for dinner.

That night, the servants in the villa were all on holiday. Only starry, Frances and Martha were there.

Starry cooked. Frances said Starry had been preparing for the Easter meal since three o'clock in the afternoon. Yet he came back late and the food turned cold.

When he returned, the meal was heated and served again. As soon as he was seated, Starry handed him a spoon, then a bowl of soup.

The warm chicken soup erased the pain in the stomach.

In those five years, Starry had been considerate to him, even though he treated her coldly.

Filip didn't like to think of the past, yet memories all came to him at the moment.

The more he reminisced, the worse his mood became.

Filip's face became worse, Austin did not dare to ask Filip if he want to eat.

After having the porridge, Wyatt felt much better.

He looked at Starry on the side, then looked up at Filip in the opposite corner. "Ms. Bradley."

It was time for Starry to sleep, she was very sleepy. She planned to read the note on her phone to disperse the drowsiness, but she became more and more sleepy. Hearing Wyatt's voice, she looked up with her sleepy eyes. "Yes, Mr. Matthews?"

"Nothing, you fell asleep."

As soon as Wyatt spoke, Starry yawned.

She raised her hand to cover her mouth. "I usually go to bed early"

"Sorry, if it weren't for me tonight, you are probably in dreamland now."

Starry smiled and took out two fingers. "Twice. Mr. Matthews, you helped me twice."

Wyatt raised an eyebrow. "Well, I am less guilty now hearing that."

He said, glancing at Filip not far away. "This might be rude but can I ask you something?"

Starry put the phone back in her bag. "Sure?"

"Was your marriage with Filip just a deal?"

Lucia had exposed everything. Starry didn't want to hide it. "Yup."

"I'm curious, why did you choose Filip in the first place?"

Filip didn't look like someone who would agree to the deal.

The question got to the point. Starry looked at Filip.

Then she said, "He looks good, I suppose."

Wyatt sighed and didn't ask any more questions.

Starry's answer seemed perfunctory, but she was serious.

Looks good?
