The Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire
Chapter 1182 Garrett Was Jealous
Ian was unsurprised by Laney’s choice. He was certain that Laney wouldn’t let anyone take his place just because of his gender. “Mrs. Harding, this will be one of your wisest decisions ever,” he said.
Laney couldn’t help but smile at Ian’s confidence and replied, “Looks like you’re very sure of yourself.”
“I carefully examined all the information on you when I learnt that I was going to serve as your assistant,” remarked Ian.
Despite his apparently modest demeanor, Ian couldn’t hide the air of self-assurance that came with his words. “That’s why I’m well aware of your allergies and your situation, Mrs. Harding.”
“Really?” Ian’s confidence gave Laney relief and she took a deep breath to relax.
Ian smiled slightly and said, “I believe I’ll be able to serve you well. Of course. I’m also skilled in taking care of children.”
Laney, laughed out loud, amused by Ian’s words. The last bit of bias she had towards Ian’s gender disappeared with his words. “You are a very interesting person.” Laney couldn’t help praising him.
In the past, people also questioned her ability as a bodyguard just because she was a female. In reality, she was better than her male counterparts in many aspects.
Therefore, as she put herself in his shoes, Laney decided not to dismiss Ian based on his gender.
Meanwhile, while the two were talking, Garrett came in with Laney’s favorite snack. He exclaimed, “Honey, look what I brought you…” Before Garrett could finish his sentence, he saw Laney smiling and talking to a stranger, and his handsome face immediately darkened. He approached Laney while on high alert and questioned, “Who are you? What are you doing in my wife’s ward?”
Ian slowly bowed his head in respect and said, “Hello, Mr. Harding. I’m Ian, the personal assistant that Mrs. Larson specifically hired for Mrs. Harding.”
“Personal assistant? A man?” Garrett looked at Ian in disbelief, scanning him up and down and asked, “Does Janet know what she’s doing?” Laney nudged Garrett with her elbow and chided,
“Ian is a very professional personal assistant. I believe he can take good care of me and our baby.”
Garrett felt a bit uneasy, but after seeing Laney’s satisfied expression, he didn’t say much. Unfortunately, he had to suppress his feelings of annoyance at Janet for hiring such a good-looking man as Laney’s personal assistant.
“I assure you, Mr. Harding, that I will lake good care of Mrs. Harding,” Ian said confidently. Noticing Garrett’s doubt, he added, “I have received professional training and I have plenty of medical experience. Rest assured, I can provide the best service for Mrs. Harding.”
Although Garrett still had some doubts, he didn’t want to say anything more upon seeing Ian’s professional manner. He simply patted Ian’s shoulder and said, “Well, then, do your job well and take good care of my wife. I’ll give you an extra bonus if you’re good enough.”
Ian’s expression remained indifferent, showing no signs of happiness at Garrett’s promised bonus. “Mrs. Harding’s well-being is at the top of my priority. I will work hard to keep her happy,” he said calmly.
“And you don’t have to worry about giving me any bonus, Mr. Harding. I was hired by Mrs. Larson to take care of Mrs. Harding. So, Mrs. Harding is the only person I serve. There’s really no need for you to worry,” added Ian.
Garrett didn’t expect Ian to decline him, and he was unable to counter Ian’s explanation since it made sense.
“I’m Laney’s husband,” he said, looking somewhat displeased.
He put his arm around Laney s shoulder and declared his possessiveness, “If you can take good care of my wife and child, of course, I will thank you generously.”
Ian responded with a smile and said nothing. Laney enjoyed watching Garrett jealous, but she held back her laughter and said, “Alright, that’s enough. All that matters is that he takes good care of me and the baby. Why are you getting so upset?”
Garrett remained silent, snorting coldly in response.
