The Substitute’s Redemption Chapter 46
This was her cue to give him a goodbye kiss — a practice that she secretly enjoyed and that warmed her heart. But Cassidy was right there, same as yesterday.Shyly, she gave him a pat on the shoulder, like they were brothers instead of husband and wife.“You can do it!”, she said encouragingly and fled.Ethan stifled a disbelieving laugh.Cassidy’s fists clenched when she saw the smile tugging at his lips. “Miss Jane is such a darling”, she commented.“She is”, he echoed, his eyes uncharacteristically soft. “But you should refer to Jane as Mrs Harrington instead”, he said as he short her a glance with a perfectly lifted brow.“Don’t you despise that surname?” She asked as she raised a playful brow in return, “Or should I call her Mrs Ethan?”He gave it a moment’s contemplation and decided, “I don’t mind that either. As long as she’s mine”.Cassidy was throbbing with rage but her smile never wavered. “Ethan, I’ll be living with you both for some time so I think it’s best if I act a lit

“I —”“Save it!. My husband won’t die. He’ll recover — he will!”Brock scoffed, his aristocratic features turning cold.“Stop dreaming. How many years has Ethan been undergoing treatment? If he could recover, he would’ve long ago!”“How delusional can you get — just because you studied medicine for a few years? That cripple’s father despises him and now he has cut off all his son’s financial resources”.“Tell me: do you think he can survive without the aid of his family? Would you really rather stay with him than give me a chance?”Jane was shocked. She hadn’t known that Ethan’s family had severed all financial ties with him, too. This was all her fault. If she hadn’t gotten into trouble, her husband wouldn’t have fallen out with his father over her — and he would still have money for his treatment.She bit her lip, warding off her rising anxiety.“Are you listening to me?” Brock demanded.“Yes. Thank you for informing me. I have some money to spare for my husband’s treatment”.It was

Ethan stared at her, “Silly girl, I don’t need your money, I have my own”.“We’re married so there’s no need to feel ashamed. What’s mine is yours”.The storm cloud handing over Ethan’s features cleared and he repressed a faint smile. Money, money, money… That was it was always with her. It was a pity she wasn’t so unreserved in offering other parts of herself to him.“I don’t want your money, I want your kisses”.“What?”, It was such an abrupt change of subject.“Didn’t you say that what’s yours is mine?” Ethan deliberately skipped over the issue of money but for once, Jane surprised him by kissing him before he could continue. A smile broke out on his face.The tension in the car had dissipated. The Young Mistress’ effect on Young Master Ethan couldn’t be understated, Bruce thought, even if she wasn’t too bright about other matters. One day hisYoung Mistress would drive her husband over the edge…Ethan had cheered up so quickly that it puzzled Jane. All that from a kiss? Not that s

Bruce wanted to point out that it would more likely result in the exact opposite but he held his tongue. His Young Master was like a person with ears full of cotton when it came to his wife. *. *. *. *. *. When Jane arrived in class, Ivy pulled her to the back of the room.“Don’t be upset”, she said comfortingly, “I’m sure Brock Davenport would absolutely not do something like that. There must be a misunderstanding”.Jane shook her head, fending off an incredulous laugh.“I’m not upset, it’s just… shocking that they’re together, that’s all”.Over the phone, Ivy had revealed that Brock Davenport had gotten into a brawl at the bar not far from the campus late last night. Then afterwards, photos of him and her had been leaked on her social media.Despite her friend’s worry, she really, truly wasn’t upset. She recalled the events of the previous day. He had confessed to me and went to sleep with her right after. It had all been a sham then, leaving her flustered over nothing.“You don’t

Ethan was in the midst of a meeting in his study when Bruce entered.Whatever news he had, it was urgent.Ethan called for the meeting to halt and dismissed everyone.“What happened?” he demanded.“The Young Mistress got into a fight in school”.Ethan froze, “Is she hurt?”“No”. Bruce struggled to communicate the truth.“She… she started it, I think. A professor stopped them and brought them to his office. It would be a black mark in her student record; they might refuse to award her a scholarship”.Ethan stormed out and Bruce chased after him.“Your wheelchair, Young Master. I know that you are worried about the Young Mistress but don’t forget, you’re still pretending to be disabled”.Ethan had masqueraded as a cripple for more than a decade; he was used to the act. But now, that wheelchair was nothing but a burden and he loathed it more than ever. *. *. *. *. *. Wails echoed in the staff room, the high pitched whine of a dying animal.Ivy winced, her hands flying to her ears. She n

He spoke so unflinchingly, Ivy nearly applauded him. A sickly cripple he may be but even from the wheelchair, he projected a dominance that made him seem twice as physically imposing.Not bad. “Exactly”, she echoed. “You shouldn't get into fights you can't win. What's the point of crying now? Shameless thing”.“You ganged up on me!” Linda screeched.“I witnessed Jane and Ivy bullying Linda”. The professor was disgusted by Ethan's words.“We are an institution that takes pride in our learning. No matter the reason, such disgraceful behavior will not be tolerated. Who are you anyway to badge in like this?”Ethan looked at Jane expectantly. She couldn't bear for them to treat him like this so she said coldly.“He is my husband, Ethan Harrington. You didn't even try to find out why we were fighting, professor. You just assume it was our fault. How is that fair? We were willing to let it go but to compensate her? No! We can't and we won't”.“You attacked me. I deserve to be compensated!” Li

The principal spoke first, “Are you going to deny your guilt, Linda? Again?”Even beneath her makeup Linda had gone ghastly pale. With nowhere left to run she could only sob and beg for mercy.“They insulted me first. I was so angry so I wasn't thinking…“You were the one who started it,” Ivy interjected a little too hastily. “Why would we insult you for no reason?”Wordlessly Linda continued to let her tears flow. It was the man she needed to convince – as long as they didn't pursue the matter nothing would happen to her.Unfortunately, she was dealing with Ethan Harrington.“Earlier, she said that she should be compensated for being attacked”, Ethan said calmly. “In that case, she should compensate them for landing the first blow. How much do you think is appropriate?”Professor Amos leapt on his words.“That's right. She should compensate them. A hundred dollars should do it, as long as she apologizes too.“That's too much,” Linda spat.“Fine. Then I guess you just be expelled”, Ivy
The Substitute’s Redemption Chapter 53
Throughout their conversation, Ivy studied Ethan. She was just pondering the reason for his mask when he removed it and she understood. She managed to clamp down on her cry of alarm in the nick of time. In her discomfort, her gaze darted to Jane.When the food arrived, Ethan gave all his beef to Jane, the affection in his gesture unmistakable. With a smile he said to Ivy, “Don't stand on ceremony.”“Around her? Of course not.” She lowered her head and dug into her noodles, trying to spare herself the sight of him. Even still, she had to admit that the man – scars or not – treated Jane well, which was more than she had expected from a member of the Harrington family. No wonder Jane thought he was a decent man.After they were done, Jane still had classes in the afternoon so she sent her husband off as he boarded his car.“Stay strong dear, you will recover in no time.”“If you want to encourage me, action speaks louder than words.”Jane eyed Ivy in the background and he switched tactic
