The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride

Chapter 603

In the Lester family. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Recently, Seth and Julia had been getting along well. Julia even moved into his villa in Seacisco. The media made a big deal about it, and their love affair instantly became a hot topic.

Leaning against Seth’s chest, Julia drew circles on his chest with her fingertips. Her voice was soft, almost angelic. “Are you planning to make my live with you like this for the rest of my life? Hiding here in your villa? Like I’m a vampire who can’t go out in the sun?”

Being flirted with like this, Seth felt a little turned on. He grabbed her restless hand and pointed at the teeth marks on his arm. “Look at all these bite marks. You must be a vampire, since you have such sharp teeth. Come on, show me your fangs!”

Then he tried to pinch Julia’s chin playfully.

“Meanie!” Julia turned her face away, hammered his chest, and giggled. Then she batted her eyelashes at him bashfully. “My parents have been asking about our relationship. What should I tell them?”

“Don’t worry. I’m going back to Sugden this week to make it clear to my wife.” Seth coaxed Julia softly, rubbing her shoulder dotingly, but the warmth in his voice didn’t reach his eyes.

Now that he had this silly woman wrapped around his finger, it was time for him to go back to Sugden to divorce Tasha.

*******

Ever since Seth had gone to Seacisco to temporarily take charge of the Lester family’s business, he had seldom come back to Sugden. The few times he did come home, he was only there to fulfill his duty as her spouse and have sex with her.

He and Tasha had been married for so many years, but they didn’t have any children. Before, Elissa used to urge them to have a baby. Now that Elissa was in jail, it was the Javis family’s turn to urge them.

As soon as Seth stepped foot inside the house, Tasha walked up to him and took his coat and suitcase, smiling tenderly.

“You must be tired after the long flight. Go get a shower and get changed. The dinner will be waiting for you when you’re done showering.” Tasha’s tone was gentle and considerate. As she spoke, she patted the dust off his coat and hung it on the coat rack.

Seth nodded coldly.

He had never felt attached to anyone in his life, including his own wife. To put it bluntly, he didn’t feel an ounce of love for Tasha.

After taking a shower, he jogged downstairs. Tasha had already served several dishes on the table.

She was the textbook definition of a good wife. While she wasn’t particularly stunning, she was charming in her own way, not to mention kind.

After they got married, Elissa had always praised Tasha as a good wife to Seth.

“What’s on your mind?” Over dinner, Seth glanced at Tasha, who was sitting next to him. She looked particularly excited.

The smile on Tasha’s face became brighter. Shyness flashed across her face. She put down the fork and started to say, “Here’s the thing—”

Seth actually didn’t give a damn about whatever she had to say, nor did he have the patience to listen to her. He interrupted her abruptly, saying, “Whatever it is, it can wait. Let’s have a divorce.”

All the color instantly drained from Tasha’s face. “Why?”

Seth didn’t bother to make up some excuse. He put down his utensils, crossed his arms over his chest, and asked frankly, “Haven’t you seen the news lately? Do you really want to hear it from me? Alright. I’m having an affair.”

Tasha couldn’t believe her ears. Tears welled up in her eyes and a lump formed in her throat. “The media always makes stuff up. I thought that the news was fake…”

Her voice trailed off. She stood up, went back to their bedroom, and brought a piece of paper to Seth. “I’m pregnant. That was what I wanted to tell you just now. It turns out I was ovulating the last time you came home.”

Seth took the pregnancy test report and looked at it with a frown. After a moment of silence, he said, “Then we’ll divorce after you give birth to the baby. I’ll raise the child and compensate you for your trouble.”

Tasha was dumbfounded. “It’s my child, too. How could you suggest such a thing?”

She couldn’t believe what was happening. Was Seth out of his mind?
