The Substitute Wife My Poor Husband is a Billionaire Chapter 600: Go Our Separate Ways

Summer season was just around the corner, and the first heavy rain this year finally came. The heavy
raindrops pattered against the window loudly, waking Laney up.

Despite the chilly weather, she felt warm, because she was nestled in the man‘s arms. Garrett‘s steady
breathing brushed against her burning ear.

Laney tried to move her body slightly and then felt a sharp pain in her lower body. She couldn‘t help but
gasp. 1 Noticing that the woman in his arms was awake, Garrett frowned, rubbed his eyes, and turned
over. He murmured, “Baby, let‘s sleep a little longer.”

Laney slipped on her underwear and glanced at the man coldly. Feeling her gaze, Garrett reluctantly
opened his eyes.

When he saw the coldness in Laney‘s eyes, he instantly became sober. He hurriedly got up and
stuttered nervously, “W–why don‘t you sleep a little longer, Laney? I‘ll drive you back later. I‘m sorry. I
was drugged last night and couldn‘t control myself. I promise I‘ll take responsibility.”

Laney lowered her head and kept silent. She put on her dress quietly and stood by the bed.

After a long time, she said, “I know you were drugged. I could have stopped you, but I didn‘t. It‘s not
entirely your fault.”

Garrett was stunned again. Now that he thought about it, it was true that Laney didn‘t refuse him last
night.

Did that mean she really liked him?

Complicated emotions surged in his chest.



Garrett looked up at Laney, not knowing what to say. After a long silence, he suddenly blurted, “Be my
girlfriend, Laney.”

As if she didn‘t hear him, Laney unhurriedly zipped her dress in silence. Finally, she sighed.

“Do you say that to every woman you‘ve slept with? No one was forced last night. I couldn‘t control
myself, either. How about we just pretend that nothing happened and move on with our own separate
lives?” Garrett leaped out of bed and cried indignantly, “How can I forget what happened between you
and me?”

It was the first time that he had encountered a woman so indifferent after having sex with him, and this
made him even angrier. He grabbed Laney‘s hand and pulled her toward him.

“Why are you doing this to me? You can‘t just dump someone after sleeping with them! Am I so cheap
in your eyes?” Laney closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

Why didn‘t she realize sooner that Garrett could be so annoying? Night and couldn‘t control myself. I
promise I‘ll take responsibility.” ,

“Stop yelling, okay?” Laney looked at him impatiently. The more Garrett behaved like this, the more her
heart softened.

After thinking for a few seconds, she decided to throw caution to the wind.

“Free meals are always cheap. I already said that we should forget this ever happened and just move
on. Don‘t you understand?” Garrett put his dignity aside and forced a smile.

“I don‘t care if you think I‘m cheap. Let me escort you before my ‘value‘ increases.” Laney didn‘t like
hearing this from him. She frowned and said resolutely, “We can‘t be together, okay? If you keep
pestering me, I‘ll get sick of you.”

Hearing this, Garrett fell silent.



After a while, he asked in a low voice, “Are you saying that this was nothing but a one night stand?”

Laney pulled her hand back, picked up her things, and turned around without answering him.

Finally, when she reached the door, she paused for a second and said, “Yes, that‘s exactly what I‘m
saying. I hope we never meet again, Mr. Harding.”

After saying that, she walked out of the room and slammed the door, leaving a dazed Garrett alone
inside
