The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride (Ethan and Janet) novel Chapter 245

Ethan sipped his tea and didn't utter a single word. He knew full well what was going through Kent's mind. Kent had been playing the field, and he was certain that he wouldn't give up on Janet so easily.

However, inherently, Keny wasn't a bad person. Besides, Janet didn't like him in any event, so Ethan wasn't worried in the least bit. Since Kent had saved Janet once before, Ethan decided it best not to do anything about him at this juncture.

The expression on Ethan's face made Kent's hair stand on end. For the life of him, he couldn't even begin to fathom what Ethan was thinking.

Just then, the waiter served the crab dish. Ethan picked up a crab leg.

"Have a taste of this," Ethan said, placing the crab leg into Janet's plate while glancing at Kent with an air of indifference. "Please help yourself, Mr. Perkins."

With a fake, forced smile, Kent nodded.

He didn't enjoy the meal at all. To be honest, he had even purchased a box of condoms before he had come here tonight. Now, however, it was clear that it wouldn't be put to its intended use tonight.

The three of them parted ways after dinner.

Janet and Ethan were just about to go home together. The Japanese restaurant was located in

a high-end shopping mall which sold a range of luxury, designer items.

It was too luxurious for her. Only the exceptionally wealthy could buy it if they took a liking to it.

It occurred to Ethan that Garrett often gave jewelry as gifts to women, and reasoned that women were probably quite attracted to sparkly, shiny things. On that basis, he came to the conclusion that Janet must want it. She didn't admit it because she probably thought that it was way out of their affordability range.

Ethan kept his poker face on and began to devise a plan to buy the necklace for her without her suspecting him.

Janet didn't have the foggiest idea about what was going through his mind. She took out her phone and hesitated in taking pictures of the necklace. After all, most of the stores here didn't allow others to take photos of their exclusive products.

Just then, a condescending voice was heard coming just inside the store. "Miss Lind, you have been standing there for a long time. Do you need me to ask for the manager's permission for you to take photos?"
