NovelOnlineThe Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire
Chapter 485: Lila Was EavesdroppingSeeing 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 stime. 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 Jmarry 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 welcDavid 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
“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.”
Jhad no idea that Johanna held a party at huntil the second morning caround.
“How was it? Did Lila like the guy?” Jwas 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, Jtried to comfort her at once.
“That’s pretty normal. After all, they’re not of the ssocial 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 tand 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.”
Jconsoled 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.
