GoodReadThe Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire
Chapter 575: Give Us A TryLaney didn‘t reciprocate Greg‘s feelings; instead, she gradually put sdistance between them.
At spoint, she simply refused all his invitations.
Greg seemed to realize that this was her way of rejecting him, so he stopped coming at her.
Laney thought this matter was finally over.
However, a few days later, on a stormy night, Laney suddenly received a call.It was from Greg.She could hear the sound of the
rain in the background, and Greg sounded weak.
"Laney, I want to see you.Please."
Laney sat up in bed and asked, "Where are you?"
She had heard the sound of a car from both her phone and outside her window.She immediately got up from bed, trotted over to
the window, and looked down.
Sure enough, standing in front of her apartment building with an umbrella was none other than Greg himself.
Laney quickly put on a coat and rushed to him.
"Do you think you‘re in a movie? Stop being so dramatic.
Even if you get sick from standing here all night, I won‘t feel sorry for you!"
"I just wanted to see you.I drank a lot of beer today, and all I could think about is you."
Laney gritted her teeth and said firmly, "Greg, I don‘t like you that way.I only think of you as a friend."
Greg ran his fingers through his wet hair and murmured, "So, you don‘t hate me? Are you saying I just need to try harder?"
The thought seemed to excite him.
He quickly handed the umbrella to her and cried, "Then I‘ll try harder, Laney!"
With a big smile on his face, he rushed back to his car and drove away.
Laney was at a loss for words.She could only sighed heavily and went back to her apartment with his umbrella.
*******
Ever since she moved into her new apartment, she hadn‘t bought any hgoods.
It just so happened that she had almost run out of food, so after getting off work one evening, she decided to go to the
supermarket.
There seemed to be a sale today, because the supermarket was crowded with people.
Amidst the crowd, Laney saw Garrett and a beautiful girl beside him.It only took one look at the girl for Laney to realize that she
was Garrett‘s type.
"You should eat more vegetables.I know you work overta lot, so you need healthier food."
Garrett said gently.
Laney rolled her eyes and sneered.She somehow felt cheated.
Just when she was beginning to think that Garrett had really changed, she was wrong.He was just trying to fool everyone.
Laney left the supermarket with nothing but anger.She was inexplicably annoyed.
Just a few days ago, Garrett tried talking her out of getting into a relationship with someone else.
Yet here he was now, dating another girl himself.
"Laney?"
Laney was in a fit of anger when she suddenly heard someone call her name.It was Greg When Greg saw her, he quickly
sprinted across the road.
With a bunch of flowers in one hand and a bag of groceries in the other, he said sheepishly, "I bought you sfood.I thought
that you‘ve been so busy, you might not have the tto get sgroceries.And while I was at the supermarket, I saw these
tulips.I noticed you usually wear floral patterns, so I figured you might like these."
Laney had been feeling angry, but now, her anger slowly dissipated.
Perhaps it was because she had just been hurt that even the slightest gesture of care from someone would make her feel warm.
"Why‘d you getall these things?"
Greg scratched the back of his head and said awkwardly, "Because I like you."
Overhearing this, the passers–by gathered around them and started to encourage Laney.
"Miss, this young man has been waiting here for over an hour.He really cares about you."
Laney looked up into Greg‘s hopeful eyes and thought about the smile on Garrett‘s face when he was with that girl just now.
Without thinking, she blurted, "I am willing to give us a try."
