Mr. CEO's Substitute Bride

Looking at the boy’s satisfied expression, Violet Zimmerman couldn’t help but lift the corners of her lips.

"Sis-in-law, sit down, don’t stand!" Joseph Lancaster said while picking up a small spoon. Violet curled her lips again, "No, I’m heading back, take your time eating."

After speaking, Violet turned around, and behind her, the boy’s muddled voice sounded.

"Sis-in-law, same time tomorrow!"

Violet...

Turned her head in confusion, seeing the boy’s focus on the Alcohol Fermented Meatballs, she realized he wanted her to bring a midnight snack again at the same time tomorrow.

Just about to nod in agreement, but...

Remembering what Daxton Lancaster had proposed earlier... Violet immediately refused, laughing as she said, "Let the servants in your room do it, sis-in-law won’t be coming over."

"I don’t want them, what they make isn’t as tasty as yours!" Joseph Lancaster scooped another meatball into his mouth, chewing while licking his lips with his tongue.

Violet felt hopeless, just a subconscious gesture from her brother-in-law, yet she thought of... Daxton Lancaster kissing her.

Her face warmed, and just as Violet was about to turn and leave, the boy spoke again before scooping up a meatball.

"Good sis-in-law, just help me make it, I didn’t even ask you to pay for the tape recorder you broke, sis-in-law, good sis-in-law, I like eating the Alcohol Fermented Meatballs you make."

Joseph Lancaster had hit Violet’s weak spot, she knew the price of that tape recorder, although the Lancaster Family was wealthy, a whole year’s salary for an individual had been blown by her.

Feeling guilty, she had no choice but to agree reluctantly.

"Okay, sis-in-law will make it for you tomorrow."

"I knew it, sis-in-law likes me best, didn’t even send it to Aurora!"

That unintentional remark from the boy made Violet even more guilty. If it were before, Joseph Lancaster saying such things wouldn’t make her overthink, after all, he’s still a student.

But when her husband Daxton Lancaster suggested she borrow his brother’s sperm, and he said he cared for her, Violet felt uneasy and perfunctorily said, "I’m heading back," then left as if escaping.

Watching Violet’s flustered back, Joseph Lancaster turned his head in confusion, the boy’s brows tightly furrowed.

"What’s wrong with sis-in-law? Why is she in such a hurry..."

Daxton Lancaster was called over by his mother again.

Violet had been silent for quite a while, her mother-in-law Lorelei Howard seemed to lose patience too, said seriously with a stern face.

"Next Monday, go to the company a little late, I’ll take you and Violet to the hospital for check-ups to see whose problem it really is!"

Daxton Lancaster...

Stunned for quite a while before forcing a faint smile, "Mom, there’s no need,"

"What do you mean no need!" As soon as Daxton spoke, Lorelei Howard interrupted him, sitting across her son with an unyielding determination.

"I see you’re just protecting your wife! Daxton, I don’t care about other things you protect, but on this matter, you must listen to me!"

In the last sentence, Lorelei Howard raised her voice again, looking displeased at her son, seeing Daxton Lancaster stunned by her yell, she softened her tone and persuaded bitterly.

"Daxton, you’re mom’s son, mom is just doing this for your own good. Better to sort this out while you’ve just married and the feelings aren’t so deep. If it really is Violet’s problem, hurry up and get a divorce, find another wife."

"Mom, Violet is my legally wedded wife."

At this moment, Daxton Lancaster wasn’t worried about his hidden ailment being discovered; his mind was filled with his mother suggesting he divorce Violet.

"What difference does a legally wedded wife make? No matter how virtuous or beautiful she is, she’s just a chicken that can’t lay eggs!"
