Mr. CEO, You're Just A Substitute novel Chapter 59

Hearing Austin's voice, the nurse walked over to Filip.

The nurse's skirt blocked his view, and Filip frowned. After the nurse left, he saw Starry again not far away.

He and Starry have been divorced for half a year. Even though it wasn't a negotiated marriage, she had the right to be with someone else.

However, when he saw Starry handing Wyatt a spoon, he inexplicably remembered that one year, at the Pearson residence, he went back late because of work. Starry and Frances waited for him to go back for dinner.

That night, the servants in the villa were all on holiday. Only starry, Frances and Martha were there.

Starry cooked. Frances said Starry had been preparing for the Easter meal since three o'clock in the afternoon. Yet he came back late and the food turned cold.

When he returned, the meal was heated and served again. As soon as he was seated, Starry handed him a spoon, then a bowl of soup.

The warm chicken soup erased the pain in the stomach.

In those five years, Starry had been considerate to him, even though he treated her coldly.

Filip didn't like to think of the past, yet memories all came to him at the moment.

The more he reminisced, the worse his mood became.

Filip's face became worse, Austin did not dare to ask Filip if he want to eat.

After having the porridge, Wyatt felt much better.

He looked at Starry on the side, then looked up at Filip in the opposite corner. "Ms. Bradley."

It was time for Starry to sleep, she was very sleepy. She planned to read the note on her phone to disperse the drowsiness, but she became more and more sleepy. Hearing Wyatt's voice, she looked up with her sleepy eyes. "Yes, Mr. Matthews?"

"Nothing, you fell asleep."

As soon as Wyatt spoke, Starry yawned.

She raised her hand to cover her mouth. "I usually go to bed early"

"Sorry, if it weren't for me tonight, you are probably in dreamland now."

Starry smiled and took out two fingers. "Twice. Mr. Matthews, you helped me twice."

Wyatt raised an eyebrow. "Well, I am less guilty now hearing that."

He said, glancing at Filip not far away. "This might be rude but can I ask you something?"

Starry put the phone back in her bag. "Sure?"

"Was your marriage with Filip just a deal?"

Lucia had exposed everything. Starry didn't want to hide it. "Yup."

"I'm curious, why did you choose Filip in the first place?"

Filip didn't look like someone who would agree to the deal.

The question got to the point. Starry looked at Filip.

Then she said, "He looks good, I suppose."

Wyatt sighed and didn't ask any more questions.

Starry's answer seemed perfunctory, but she was serious.

Looks good?

This was interesting. Filip was handsome, but there were a lot of handsome rich guys. Compared to Filip, Dillon was much easier to get along with. Yet Starry chose Filip, a man difficult to handle.

Although she nailed it, and the result was very happy, it must be difficult at the beginning. She chose Filip.

Interesting.

Wyatt saw Starry's distress. So, he picked up some interesting topics to chat about.

The two were not talking very loudly, but in the quiet infusion room, even if they were just talking normally, their voice could be heard.

Filip couldn't hear what they were saying, only occasionally heard their voices.

The two seemed to have a pleasant conversation, he occasionally heard Wyatt's laughter.

He sat in the corner and felt his stomach hurt even more.

He reached out to the porridge and ate it expressionlessly.

The porridge had been put there for nearly an hour, it was almost cold, and the taste was bad, but it was better than having an empty stomach. After having the porridge, Filip's stomach pain was alleviated a lot.

At eleven forty-five, Wyatt's drip was finally finished.

Starry had almost fallen asleep. Wyatt no longer had the fever. He ate a lot. Now he looked much better than when they came to the hospital.

Starry was relieved to see him feeling better "Let's go, Mr. Matthews, I'll send you back."

She got up, picked up the garbage, and threw them in the trash can in the corner.

Wyatt followed her with the medicine. At the door, they happened to meet Filip and Austin. Filip had finished the drip and was leaving too.

Austin just woke up. He was still dazed. Bumping into Starry and Wyatt, he subconsciously greeted, "Ms. Bradley, Mr. Matthews, what a coincidence!"

When he was finished, Austin woke up.

He looked at Filip stiffly. Filip had walked past Starry and left.

Austin stood there embarrassed and nervous. He smiled at Starry and kept up with Flip.

Starry left too without saying anything.

At this point, the parking lot outside the hospital was empty.

Starry quickly found her car, and by coincidence, Filip's car was parked next to her car.

Starry glanced at it, took out her car keys, and got straight into the car.

Wyatt smirked at Filip and got into Starry's car.

The black Mercedes drove away first. Austin looked at the rear of Starry's car, his face turning paler.

Filip in the back row was sleeping expressionlessly. Austin glanced at him from the rearview mirror and started the car.

Not far away from the hospital, there was a traffic light. Starry passed it before the red light was on, Austin could only wait.

During the years as Filip's secretary, He had never been so frightened as this evening.

Austin only wanted to hurry up and send Filip back to the apartment, as for how angry Flip would be tomorrow, he didn't want to think about it now. He just wanted to survive this evening.

"Secretary Robertson."

Austin was trembling when Filip suddenly called him. "Mr. Pearson?"

"Didn't you say that Starry loved me?"

They had only divorced for half a year, and she was now with someone else, ignoring him.
