Substitute Bride Of The Retarted Billionaire

Couple's Duty.

Gillian's shoulder straightened, and she nonchalantly stepped into the room despite Phoebe's provocative words.

Seeing Phoebe have those same features as that old hag and seeing how provoked Phoebe looked about Gillian getting married to Albrecht, a faint understanding suddenly sprouted in her mind.

Gillian finally understood that the reason that old hag kept glaring at Gillian as if Gillian had stolen Emma's precious treasure—if she ever had one in her life—was all because that old hag Emma had a daughter interested in Augustus. And doing all those schemes was revenge for snatching Augustus!

Gillian shook her head, finding everything hilarious! She was also a victim in the first place! How much did she prepare for days like this? How did it end?

Gillian understood that bullies like Phoebe and Willa will do everything to attract attention, and whenever one doesn't pay them any attention, it makes them despair!

Gillian understood that for days, weeks, or months to come, Willa would keep flaunting her getting together with Luke to Gillian in order to hurt Gillian!

Gillian’s eyes drifted into the room immediately, and a thought came to her mind: large, beautiful, and adorable!

Gillian’s allocated room was several square feet large. It was larger than two of Gillian and Willa's rooms combined. Gillian was sure that Willa would be almost stifled to death if she ever stepped into her room!

Gillian gently exhaled and stared into the distance. She couldn't help thinking that staying in the Albrecht mansion was better than staying with the Arison family.

After all, the room was a lot better; the meal was many times better. She won't have to stand on edge due to the petrification of the schemes of Willa and Kathy, and overall, she won't have to see the cheating couple, Willa and Luke, being intertwined with each other!

Gillian's eyes darted around the low-key, luxurious, neutral-tone room in satisfaction. There was a queen-sized bed, a several-meter-long closet, a bookshelf, a study section, etc. The total design was very eye-catching, and Gillian felt her mood improved by just staring at it!

Gillian walked towards the closet filled with new female wear—Gillian size—with a smile on her face.

Hurriedly, she took off her wedding gown and dumped the whole thing into the trash can immediately.

For years, months, weeks, and days, Gillian had longed for this day, but this day had caused her a lot of heartache. She really wished she'd forget and move on quickly, but...

Recalling the several memories made tears spill past Gillian's eyes. Will it be easy? She knew it couldn't!

Now Gillian felt alone. The Arison family had completely shed off cordiality with her, and Willa had spoiled her image in the media! Who will care about her anymore?

Knowing the Arison clearly, they'll only keep paying her mother's hospital bills and Gillian's college fees if Gillian is useful to them, which means Gillian will have to pick up a part-time job!

A thought suddenly flashed past Gillian's mind, and she clenched her dainty fist with mixed emotions.

For years, Gillian had believed that Luke was hers, and she had worked in his office days, even a few days before the wedding.

Due to that reason, Gillian casually left her computer and notes in Luke's office the majority of the time. The most important thing was that all her files were still on her computer and Luke's computer! She clenched her fist while thinking that she needed to get them the next day!

Gillian suppresses all her chaotic thoughts and emotions. She draped a towel around her chest and placed a new pajama on the bed before making her way to the bathroom.

It wasn't after over forty minutes that Gillian walked out of the bathroom with red-rimmed eyes and a pale face while sniffling and shivering slightly.

She absentmindedly walked towards the bed, picked up her pajamas, and made her way to the cream section to rub the prepared skincare into her skin before putting on her pajamas.

After dealing with the towel, Gillian absentmindedly returned to the bed in order to pick up her phone and call the hospital, but before she could...

Suddenly, Gillian's eyes met with shining black ones, and a scream filled with petrification and embarrassment spilled past her lips. “Ahhhh!”

Augustus, who was lying on the bed awaiting Gillian, immediately jumped and crouched in fear because of the sudden noise made by Gillian!

Upon seeing that the pair of black eyes belonged to none other than Augustus, Gillian stopped screaming, and she couldn't help sighing in relief. She patted her chest and exhaled in relief.

Gillian was so absent-minded that she didn't even know when Augustus entered. She didn't even know he was in the room! It was when she was about to grab her phone that she only noticed his presence, resulting in her subconscious yell.

Suddenly, Gillian's face flushed in embarrassment, and she lowered her head in embarrassment to evade Augustus' exceptionally clear eyes. Since when did Augustus enter, and what did he see? Gillian’s lips parted to say a word, but before she could, her heart skipped a beat, and her expression changed!

Augustus's large frame shivered, and he cowered in fear, vividly affected by Gillian's sudden scream.

Upon seeing Augustus’ state, Gillian hurriedly made her way to his side of the bed. She donned a comforting smile on her face and ran her hand through his hair before gently inquiring, “Gillian is sorry. Is young master okay?”

Augustus shivered, and his black eyes widened, fear vividly expressed in them. He smacked his lips together and shook his head slightly.

Gillian's eyes constricted, and her heart panged immediately, finding Augustus’ words and actions alarming. Although it was extremely clear that Augustus was frightened beyond words by her yell, he refused to admit it, making her extremely helpless.

Gillian secretly exhaled and clenched her fists. She didn't know what Augustus had gone through, but now that both of them could only rely on each other, she promised to care for him really well!

Gillian's hands wrapped around Augustus, and she gently placed his head on her bosom. She kept running her right hand through his hair in a circular motion, and her left hand kept patting his back, obviously treating him as a child. “Don't be afraid, okay? Gillian won't hurt you. Promise.” She coaxed in a thin, patient, soft voice and raised her pinky finger.

Augustus furrowed his brows immediately. As if processing her words, he also raised his pinky finger and stared at Gillian in awe before nodding his head solemnly. “Promise,” he responded in a deep voice filled with eagerness.

Upon seeing his clear eyes and hearing his deep voice, Gillian's face reddened.

Seeing the change in Augustus' mood, she sighed in relief and quickly separated from Augustus.

“What are you doing here?” She inquired in the softest voice she could ever muster, the incident from a few minutes ago already forgotten! Since he had his own room, she didn't expect him to be in her room.

Upon hearing Gillian's questions, Augustus’ eyes lit up, and he took out a little jotter from his breast pocket and eagerly handed the jotter to Gillian.

Gillian patiently received the jotter from Augustus and went through it. The pages filled with his handwriting were clean, and the handwriting strokes were clean, beautiful, exceptional, and neat, just like Augustus. It could be seen how patiently he had written the content.

‘List of what to do to make wife happy.

Buy a car (bought & given)

Buy a mansion (Not ready)

Closet of Clothes (Bought & Given)

Give a black card (Prepared. Not given yet)’

Gillian's eyes reddened, and her heart felt as if it had been stroked with a willow, making it exceptionally sweetened and warm with every line she read.

Suddenly Gillian paused, and her whole figure froze as if she had been struck with lightning. Her face grew hot until it turned a bright shade of red.

‘Hug wife to sleep. (???)

Kiss in the morning and at night. (???)

Kiss wife whenever she's going out. (???)

Make love. (???)

Make babies. (???)

Build a large family (???)’

Upon seeing the list of (18+) content, Gillian's neck and ears turned red, and she felt like burrowing into the earth due to embarrassment.

Immediately, she threw the jotter on the bed as if it were a hot potato; her face reddening and her eyebrows fluttering in embarrassment.

It's sufficient to say Augustus’ brain is like that of a little kid; who taught him all those things? Gillian bit her lower lip awkwardly, and her eyes darted around. “You. Who taught you that… that…”

Augustus’ brows furrowed, and he stared at Gillian in confusion before earnestly responding with pure eyes, “Search engine.”

Immediately, Gillian realized that Augustus must have searched through the search engines to find out how to make her happy, and those 18+ contents must have popped up. She secretly sighed in relief when she realized it wasn't someone who taught him those things.

If it ended up that someone taught Augustus those (18+) contents, then she could only find out that someone in order to give the person a fierce warning for trying to blacken the adorable Augustus!

Within the blink of an eye, Gillian's brows furrowed in worry. Is it right that Augustus could surf the internet freely when he wasn't healthy? What if he came across a danger that he couldn't solve….

“Wife, can we do couple’s duty now? Tonight is our wedding night, and the search engine says doing a couple's duty is a must.” Gillian was about to lecture Augustus about the dangers of the internet when Augustus's deep voice sounded next to her ear! His large hand grabbed her small hands immediately.

Gillian froze, and her face flushed in embarrassment immediately. She quickly snatched back her hand in embarrassment. Couple. Couple duty? Who taught Augustus those? How did he know? “Who. Who taught you?” Gillian felt as if she was going crazy! She only had one thought: a genius mind can never be fathomed!

“Search engine. Wifey, can we?” Augustus replied in his deep voice, his black eyes extremely eager, pure, and clear with no ripples. It was as if the couple's duties he was talking about were miles different from what Gillian was thinking about!

The thought of preventing Augustus from using computers immediately flickered past her mind, but in the next minute, she dumped the idea. She wasn't as powerful as the Albrecht family.

Gillian softly yet firmly shook her head and responded, “No.” Gillian understood that this was the type of opportunity many ladies would kill for! Although Augustus was retarded, having his baby will make a lady a winner in life. It would even upgrade her status in the Albrecht family!

However, Gillian can't find herself using and tricking a poor person like Augustus. She'd rather that he get healed and have his time with the woman in his heart than lie to him.

Tears pooled in Augustus’ eyes immediately, and his face turned red-rimmed. The search engine emphasized that couple's duty is important on the wedding night, and it helped the couples get closer. It can't be that wife doesn't want them to get closer, can it?

Upon thinking like this, the tears spilled past Augustus’ eyes, and he lowered his head in sadness. “Wife doesn't love me. Wife doesn't want to get closer to me. Wife also thinks I'm sick, right?”
