The Substitute Wife My Poor Husband is a Billionaire

Chapter 976 He Is Jealous

Everyone in the room was speculating about Elizabeth’s relationship with Derek when they saw thebouquet of flowers on her table. As Elizabeth didn’t like people gossiping about her, she threw thebouquet into the trash can beside her emotionlessly. She then looked at her colleagues and said coldly,“I have nothing to do with Derek. He was just joking when we were downstairs just now.”

“Of course. Derek isn’t even your type. There’s no way you’d be interested in someone like him.”

“That’s right. It’s impossible for Elizabeth and Derek to be together. Stop making fun of them,” saidanother. “But the man in black talking to Elizabeth downstairs was so tall and handsome. Elizabeth,could you give me his phone number? I think that he would have a better character than Derek,” saidone of her extroverted colleagues.

After that comment, many other female colleagues started bugging Elizabeth with questions aboutFrank. “Does he have a girlfriend? What does he do?”

Elizabeth was speechless by their boldness. She was stunned for a moment and under the repeatedquestioning by her colleagues, she blurted out subconsciously, “Frank has a girlfriend.”

The office suddenly became quiet.

The extroverted colleague looked disappointed and continued asking, “Are you Frank’s girlfriend? I sawhim pick you up after work recently.”

Elizabeth regretted her words immediately. Why did she say that Frank had a girlfriend? Why was sheannoyed when there were so many girls interested in him?

“I’ll give you the details next time. I have something urgent to deal with now and I have to go. Bye,”Elizabeth said hurriedly and escaped from the office. She ran downstairs nervously with her bag andbegan cursing under her breath. Her mood worsened.

When she got out of the building, she saw that Frank was nowhere to be found.

“What are you looking for?”

All of a sudden, she heard a familiar voice call out to her. She spun around and found Frank standing infront of her, holding a bunch of purple lilacs in his hand.

It turned out, Frank had gone to buy some flowers! But why? Were they for her? Elizabeth felt her heartrace.

Although the bouquet was tied up simply with a blue ribbon, the flowers looked wonderful as they werefull of vitality. The purple and blue flowers were also clustered beautifully together. Elizabeth was notexpecting lilacs from Frank as the lilac season was about to end soon. She didn’t expect him to replaceany, let alone buy her a bouquet.

“For you,” Frank said gently as he handed her the lilacs. He looked at Elizabeth for a moment andrealized that she might be confused by his actions. He didn’t want her to shy away, so he averted hiseyes and hurriedly came up with an excuse, “There was an old lady selling flowers nearby. Theweather’s so cold now and I didn’t want to see her freeze. So I just bought the last one to help herknock off early.”

Elizabeth came to her senses upon realizing that the lilacs were just a kind gesture from Frank. Shetook the bouquet of flowers and thanked him. She then turned to look at the old woman’s staggeringback and smiled. “Didn’t you say that it’s almost time for my appointment with my therapist?”

The atmosphere between the two gradually eased. Elizabeth had even begun to get used to Frank’sthoughtfulness. He was always calm and thoughtful, and she found it difficult to be angry at him. Even ifthey did quarrel, they could always make up quickly after the argument.

The clinic was not far from W Marks Studio, and they arrived just in time for the appointment.

“You two are so punctual,” welcomed Salome Wilson as Frank and Elizabeth entered the clinic. Shewas very impressed by their punctuality

Salome was Elizabeth’s therapist and a classmate of Frank’s when they were in med school. BothSalome and Frank had graduated with flying colors.

“Well, you do charge by the minute. We wouldn’t dare to be late,” Frank joked. “I’ll wait for you outside,”he said as he turned to Elizabeth and left her in Salome’s care.

Salome nodded and showed Elizabeth into the consultation room.

After forty minutes of consultation, Salome smiled and congratulated Elizabeth, “Your recovery is goingvery smoothly. In fact, you don’t need to come here in person anymore if you’re busy in the future. Youcan make an appointment for an online consultation instead.”

Elizabeth looked out of the door subconsciously and felt much more relaxed. She faced Salome againand thanked her, “Thank you, Dr. Wilson. I felt confident about your treatment because you’ve alwaysbeen so encouraging. That must also be why I can recover so soon.”

“It’s not a big deal. I’m just doing my job,” laughed Salome as she showed Elizabeth out of theconsultation room.

Frank was still waiting outside the room when they came out. Salome turned to him and said with asmile, “Your patient is recovering well. There’s no need for her to make a trip down to my clinic

anymore as we can just move the consultation online. Also, please stop asking me about her conditionin the middle of the night. You’re wasting my precious sleeping time.”

“Stop talking nonsense,” grumbled Frank. He frowned and continued, “You are an adult now. Youshould know that it’s wrong to spout nonsense.”

It was obvious that Frank treated Salome differently from the others. Elizabeth could feel there was aform of tacit understanding between them.

Elizabeth felt her heart sink all of a sudden. She looked at Salome and tried to keep her voice asnatural as possible, “May I know where to settle the bill?”

Salome grinned and patted Frank on the shoulder. “You’re Frank’s patient. With our relationship, youdon’t have to pay,” she said playfully.

Elizabeth was stunned by her reply. She turned and looked stiffly at Frank. What exactly was therelationship between the two of them?
