Substitute Groom: Married To An Enemy novel Chapter 5

Annoyance rose in her heart as he looked at her accusingly. Moriah felt her blood rushing up to her head, it should be her giving him that look because a woman was clinging to his arm like they were lovers. However, she maintained her composure.

Moriah briefly assessed the woman beside her husband and she seemed like a model, the likes of the women Ethan had always seen with. She wasn’t surprised in the least, models and celebrities are his types.

It puzzled Moriah why did Ethan marry her, a woman who wear a scrub suit almost every day, wherein she was the exact opposite of his type. Moriah deduced that Ethan must have an ulterior motive in marrying her. And that left her heart to become cold.

Moriah’s gaze swept from the woman to Ethan. She gave him an indifferent look that utterly irritated Ethan and looked back at Fang Wei.

Ethan was unsettled that Moriah's cold and indifferent gaze instantly changed into a warm and tender look when she moved her attention back to Fang Wei.

Ethan and his lady companion sat on a table next to Moriah’s table.

“Fang Wei, can I hold the baby?” Moriah asked, her charming smile revealed the small dimple near her lips.

Ethan was rather agitated seeing her smile like that to the man.

Fang Wei took his baby and gave it to her, Moriah giggled when the baby smiled at her.

“Oh, you're so beautiful,” Moriah cooed.

“Just like you,” Fang Wei said, and reached out to push a tendril of Moriah’s hair behind her ear.

The sight was an eyesore to Ethan. His wife allowed a man to flirt with her. His agitation was intensified by the next words of the man.

“If we weren’t separated, we would have been together,” Fang Wei winked at her.

Moriah chuckled. “You are joking again, order our food now,” she looked at the baby and touched the baby’s nose.

"What are you going to have for dinner?" asked Fang Wei.

“Don’t ask me, you already know what I like,” she said while she was making faces to make the baby smile.

Ethan's sharp eyes never turned away from Moriah and Fang Wei, who were like husband and wife with their baby.

“Do you know the couple?” Hazel asked Ethan, she had observed that the time they sat, Ethan's eyes were on them.

“No,” his answer was curt, which made Hazel shut her mouth.

“Alright, what do you like for lunch?” Hazel asked coquettishly after some time.

“You choose anything,” he answered her, but his eyes were still fixated on Moriah and Fang Wei.

Watching Moriah with another man made Ethan lose his appetite and he hardly touched his dinner.

Ethan was completely unaware of Hazel's presence while his eyes were drawn to Moriah. Hazel was livid and unknowingly grip the knife and fork like a vice grip. She looked at Moriah like she was stabbing her with the knife and fork.

After they ate their lunch, Fang Wei settled their bill and departed with Moriah. Moriah helped Fang Wei settle the baby in the car. After which, he hugged Moriah while Moriah patted his back.

“Bye, call me if you need me,” Moriah said. They didn't bring up his divorce, but she knew he needed the comfort of a friend.

On her way to her car, she saw Ethan walking with Hazel latching her body onto his arm as if someone was going to snatch him away from her.

Smirking was all she could do in her situation now. When she was opening her car, she overheard Hazel.

"Ethan, are you coming back with me to the hotel?" Moriah wanted to gag as she heard her saccharin voice.

He looked at Moriah, but she spared him not a glance and replied, "Yes."

Moriah completely ignored him, then sat in the driver's seat and drove away.

The temperature inside Ethan’s car dropped as he was emanating a cold aura.

His assistant sensed that Ethan was in a bad mood because his wife didn’t even bother to look at his way. He dared not meet Ethan's eyes because he was afraid of becoming the buffer. He silently sat in the passenger seat and prayed he wouldn't notice him.

Even the chauffeur didn’t dare to look at the rear view mirror afraid that he would meet Ethan’s bone chilling gaze.

Moriah reached the mansion and went to the master bedroom at once. She soaked in a warm bath to relax her aching muscles. She did two surgeries during her shift plus the check ups.
