The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride (Ethan and Janet) novel Chapter 1169

The smile on Kailee's face immediately became crooked.

She looked at Laney up and down in disbelief, with jealousy and disdain burning in her eyes.

Initially, she was only shocked that Garrett was married. She didn't expect that in addition to being married, his wife would be pregnant.

It also seemed like the baby was going to be delivered in a matter of days.

Kailee found the fact unpalatable.

What kind of person was Garrett? He was a wild and notorious playboy. How could he ever stay with one woman?

Laney, however, didn't notice anything different with Kailee. She simply nodded politely and said, "Hello, Miss Gibson."

With a forced smile, Kailee responded, "Hello."

Garrett's attention was completely taken off Kailee. Instead, he carefully held Laney's arm and asked gently, "How are you feeling? Do you feel any discomfort today? Is the baby being naughty?"

Garrett's affection was so sweet that the restlessness Laney had been feeling disappeared in an instant. She rubbed her belly gently and smiled. "It hasn't even been born yet. How can it be naughty?" "That's good." Garrett cracked a goofy smile - very much unlike his wild and unruly former self. "Have you decided which hospital you want to go to?"

Laney nodded. "This one's okay. I just had a look around it with Janet. It's not bad at all."

Upon hearing this, Garrett felt a bit helpless. He hadn't expected Laney to finally settle on the hospital that his father had picked, but he decided not to debate it with her since her mind was already made up.

He resolved to keep a close eye on things and not allow the Harding family to bother Laney.

Witnessing the romantic bond between Garrett and Laney made Kailee feel even more uncomfortable.

The level of care that Garrett was showing Laney made Kailee even more jealous. In order to maintain her composure, however, Kailee took a deep breath to try and calm down. "Of course. I'll ask the staff to

take very good care of her. You have nothing to worry about."

"Thank you. I really appreciate it," Garrett thanked her sincerely.

But the distance between them deeply hurt Kailee. The contrast between Garrett's attitude towards his wife and his attitude towards her was so striking that she couldn't stay another second. She made up an excuse and got ready to leave.

Garrett, however, didn't think much of it. After saying goodbye to Kailee, his attention went right back to Laney.

Upon seeing the couple's affectionate interaction with each other, Janet felt relieved. "Well, if there's nothing else, I'll get going. Brandon's waiting for me at home."

Garrett was grateful to Janet for accompanying Laney to the hospital. "Thank you for taking care of my wife today, Laney. I'll make sure to treat you to dinner one of these days."
