The Substitute Wife My Poor Husband is a Billionaire Chapter 485: Lila Was Eavesdropping

Seeing that everyone was turning their attention to the door, Lila lazily glanced at the man. The man was
dressed in a white suit, both simple and clean at the same time. His features were not very outstanding,
but overall, he looked not too bad. In all honesty, David Gray looked fairly agreeable, at least several
times better than that of an ordinary man. However, Lila had seen just how good-looking Brandon was.

Compared with Brandon’s breath-taking appearance, David appeared pretty mediocre. After all,
Brandon’s mature and steady temperament and unique sexual attraction happened to be more attractive
to most women. At that thought, Lila was even unhappier with her blind date

. Why could Janet marry such an excellent man while Lila was reduced to marrying a man who sold fruits
for a living? The more Lila mulled it over in her head, the more unwilling she got. Thus, she did not
welcome David like she was supposed to. Johanna tried to get the two of them to get along, so she took
the initiative to make conversation.

“David, I heard that you studied in London previously. When Lila graduated from university, she also
traveled to London. You two can revisit the place together when you guys have some free time.”

“Yes, my schedule is pretty flexible and I’m available at any time. If only I can have the pleasure of
traveling with Miss White.” David acted very sensibly. He was arranged by his family to go on a blind date
here that very day.

At first glance, he wasn’t really interested in Lila. She appeared ordinary on the surface and there was
even contempt evident in her eyes. However, this happened to be a marriage of interests.

The White family was both rich and powerful in Barnes. If the Gray family could increase their social rank
through this marriage, why should he turn it down? Johanna turned to look at Lila, waiting for an answer
from her.



The last thing Lila wanted to do was travel to London with David. She smiled perfunctorily and said, “I
don’t think that’s a good idea at all. I disagree with the weather in London.”

Both Johanna and David appeared embarrassed at this point. As soon as the party was over, Lila said to
Johanna straight to her face, “I don’t think David and I are suitable for each other.''

Of course, Johanna wouldn’t force Lila to get married to David. She could only smile helplessly, and tell
her words of comfort, “It’s all right. Don’t worry about it. I’ll keep looking for other nice young men for
you.”

Janet had no idea that Johanna held a party at home until the second morning came around.

“How was it? Did Lila like the guy?” Janet was busy making the bed in her bedroom. Speaking about
this, it was hard for Johanna not to let out a long sigh. She sat on the edge of the bed and said to her,
“She doesn’t like him at all. I’m afraid that Lila’s marriage will be a tricky matter.”

Seeing the worried expression in Johanna’s eyes, Janet tried to comfort her at once.

“That’s pretty normal. After all, they’re not of the same social rank. It’s reasonable for Lila to not accept
him.” Johanna gently tapped Janet’s nose with her finger and smiled dotingly at her.

“She just thinks that he’s not good enough for her. It’s all our fault, though. Your father and I thought she
was the only daughter of the White family at the time and we spoiled her too much. So she’s picky now.”

With a heavy heart, Johanna went on to say, “But she never asks herself whether she deserves to be so
picky in the first place.” Janet consoled her with a smile of her own.

“It doesn’t really matter in the end. Anyway, Lila is still very young. There’s absolutely no hurry. Maybe
she’ll understand your painstaking efforts in the future, or maybe she’ll go on to meet someone she
likes.”



The two of them were chatting in the room rather casually. They had no idea that Lila was right there
outside the door listening to them at the moment. Just now, when Lila saw Johanna walk into Janet’s
room, she thought there was something fishy going on. Why did they choose to close the door? What
things were they saying behind her back? Lila pretended to pass by the door and proceeded to quietly
eavesdrop on their conversation.
