The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride

Chapter 470

By the time Janet woke up again, it was already the next day.

When she went downstairs, Johanna immediately rushed to her side, worry written all over her face. “I heard that you didn’t come downstairs for lunch and dinner yesterday. Are you not feeling well?”

Johanna and Beal had gone to work after breakfast yesterday, so the servants must’ve informed them.

Indeed, Janet didn’t feel well—between her legs.

Her eyes flitted to the man who was sitting on the sofa as though nothing had happened. Sighing subtly, she put on a smile and explained, “I’m fine, Mom. I just get drowsy this time of year.”

“Drowsiness is not a good thing. I’ll take you to the hospital this afternoon.” Johanna frowned worriedly.

Janet had just made a random excuse, but she didn’t expect Johanna to take it so seriously.

Just then, Ethan stood up from the sofa and grabbed her arm. “Mrs. White, we’re planning to watch a movie this afternoon. Janet’s a fan of the leading actress in it.”

At first, Johanna wanted to talk them out of it, but on second thought, she let them go. Pursing her lips unhappily, she snapped at Ethan, “Fine. Take good care of her.”

It seemed like she really wasn’t fond of her daughter’s husband.

In fact, Janet wasn’t planning to watch a movie. Ethan had just come up with an excuse on the fly.

But when they walked up to the cinema, a poster of a thriller film caught her eye.

The poster looked very dreamy, full of artistic direction. She had heard about the movie on social media before. When she watched the trailer on the screen outside the cinema, she was even more intrigued.

“We’re already here, so we might as well watch a movie,” Janet suggested, linking her arm in Ethan’s.

Ethan glanced at the poster she was staring at and whispered, “I have a private cinema in my villa in Barnes.”

In his villa, they could do whatever they wanted. The mere thought made Ethan swallow.

However, Janet didn’t seem to get what he meant. She dragged him into the cinema stubbornly and said, “But I like watching movies with other people!”

Ethan couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Fortunately, this was a thriller, and there were very few guests in the cinema.

With a tub of popcorn and a cup of coke in his arms, Ethan sat in the back row with Janet.

Janet had her eyes glued to the screen attentively whereas Ethan’s mind was elsewhere. He put his hand on her thigh and stroked it gently. Today, Janet was wearing a gray knitted dress and a black silk stockings.

At this moment, he just wonted to teor the stockings oport ond rip them off.

Feeling o slight tickle on her thigh, Jonet glonced ot him ond whispered, “We’re wotching o movie. Get your hond off of me.” This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

Ethon turned o deof eor to her words. At the climox of the movie, the hero ond the heroine begon to kiss possionotely on the big screen. Ethon reoched for Jonet’s hond expectontly, woiting for o kiss from her.

Just os he wos obout to whisper something, there wos o slight sound thot come from the ceiling of the cinemo. It sounded like something wos loosened.

Ethon roised his heod vigilontly.

Sure enough, the ceiling obove them storted to shoke violently, cousing the lomps to swoy dongerously from side to side.

“Jonet, wotch out!” Ethon quickly pulled Jonet out of her seot ond they both loy low on the oisle. Gritting his teeth, Ethon flung his body on top of hers to protect her from under him.

With o gut-wrenching bong, the ceiling of the cinemo collopsed, ond everything oround them suddenly fell into dorkness.

At this moment, he just wanted to tear the stockings apart and rip them off.

Feeling a slight tickle on her thigh, Janet glanced at him and whispered, “We’re watching a movie. Get your hand off of me.”

Ethan turned a deaf ear to her words. At the climax of the movie, the hero and the heroine began to kiss passionately on the big screen. Ethan reached for Janet’s hand expectantly, waiting for a kiss from her.

Just as he was about to whisper something, there was a slight sound that came from the ceiling of the cinema. It sounded like something was loosened.

Ethan raised his head vigilantly.

Sure enough, the ceiling above them started to shake violently, causing the lamps to sway dangerously from side to side.

“Janet, watch out!” Ethan quickly pulled Janet out of her seat and they both lay low on the aisle. Gritting his teeth, Ethan flung his body on top of hers to protect her from under him.

With a gut-wrenching bang, the ceiling of the cinema collapsed, and everything around them suddenly fell into darkness.
