The Substitute Wife My Poor Husband is a Billionaire Chapter 580: We Are Worlds Apart

Laney couldn‘t hide it anymore. She raised her head and blurted, “Yes! Laugh at me if you want! You‘ve
been in countless relationships; why couldn‘t I? Now that you know the truth, you must feel really good
about yourself, right?”

After baring her heart, Laney turned around and started to walk away. She should never have trusted
this playboy! Garrett was stunned for a few seconds. Then, he broke into a goofy grin. He had finally
gotten this tough woman to fall in love with him! He trotted to catch up to Laney and said sincerely, “I‘m
serious about you, Laney. This isn‘t a game to me.”

‘‘Serious‘? Serious enough to date another woman while waiting for me to come around? I‘m sorry, but
that doesn‘t sound very serious to me.” Laney glanced at him and sneered. With a slight frown, Garrett
walked in front of her to block her way.

“That woman you saw –she isn‘t my girlfriend, silly. She‘s my cousin. We‘ve been close ever since we
were kids. The day you saw us in the supermarket, she had come to visit me and found out that I had
nothing in the fridge, so we went to buy some groceries. I had no idea you‘d see us there.”

Hearing this, Laney stopped in her tracks. For some reason, she felt as though a weight had been lifted
off of her shoulders. Nonetheless, she still wanted to leave, but Garrett refused to step out of her way.

“Where do you want to go? Since I‘ve made myself clear, you should give me an answer.” Garrett
coughed awkwardly and then asked with one brow raised, “Were you jealous?”

Only in that moment did Laney realize that she actually had feelings for Garrett. Her face turned as red
as a tomato and she quickly took a few steps back to put some distance between them. But her
reaction already betrayed her feelings.

Seeing this, Garrett was overjoyed. He had always thought that he didn‘t have a chance with Laney,
but now, he was so glad to have been wrong. Laney didn‘t say anything, and Garrett didn‘t force her.



“Of course, you can be in a relationship with anyone, but not that loser,” Garrett continued in a gentle
voice.

“So how about being in a relationship with me?”

“Not a chance,” Laney answered without skipping a beat. Her response was like pouring a bucket of
cold water over Garrett. She didn‘t even give it a thought! Was he that unattractive in her eyes?

“Why not? You like me, don‘t you?” Laney pursed her lips and eyed him warily.

“If we were to get into a relationship, would you be doing it out of fun or would you want it to last?”

“I don‘t want to just have fun with you, Laney. I know it sounds weird, because you‘re really not my
type. But my feelings for you are real—I‘ve never felt this way about the other girls I‘ve dated before.”

Garrett looked into Laney‘s eyes sincerely and spoke in a serious tone. He added softly, “I want to
protect you. I want you to be by my side for the rest of our days. I don‘t care what the cost is. I want this
to last long–no, I want this to last forever.”

Garrett had never considered getting married before. But now, looking at the tough woman in front of
him, his heart softened. Laney looked up at him for a long time and finally sighed.

“That‘s the problem. If you want to settle down, you should be with someone who‘s from the same
social status as you. We are worlds apart, Garrett. You should marry a lady from a rich family, not
someone like me.”
