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 the bouquet of flowers on her
table. As Elizabeth didn’t like people gossiping about her, she threw the bouquet 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,” said another. “But the man in black
talking to Elizabeth downstairs was so tall and handsome. Elizabeth, could you givehis phone number? I think that he would
have a better character than Derek,” said one of her extroverted colleagues.
After that comment, many other female colleagues started bugging Elizabeth with questions about Frank. “Does he have a
girlfriend? What does he do?”
Elizabeth was speechless by their boldness. She was stunned for a moment and under the repeated questioning by her
colleagues, she blurted out subconsciously, “Frank has a girlfriend.”
The office suddenly becquiet.
The extroverted colleague looked disappointed and continued asking, “Are you Frank’s girlfriend? I saw him pick you up after
work recently.”
Elizabeth regretted her words immediately. Why did she say that Frank had a girlfriend? Why was she annoyed 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 and began 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 in front of her, holding a
bunch of purple lilacs in his hand.
It turned out, Frank had gone to buy sflowers! But why? Were they for her? Elizabeth felt her heart race.
Although the bouquet was tied up simply with a blue ribbon, the flowers looked wonderful as they were full of vitality. The purple
and blue flowers were also clustered beautifully together. Elizabeth was not expecting lilacs from Frank as the lilac season was
about to end soon. She didn’t expect him to find any, let alone buy her a bouquet.
“For you,” Frank said gently as he handed her the lilacs. He looked at Elizabeth for a moment and realized that she might be
confused by his actions. He didn’t want her to shy away, so he averted his eyes and hurriedly cup with an excuse, “There
was an old lady selling flowers nearby. The weather’s so cold now and I didn’t want to see her freeze. So I just bought the last
one to help her knock off early.”
Elizabeth cto her senses upon realizing that the lilacs were just a kind gesture from Frank. She took the bouquet of flowers
and thanked him. She then turned to look at the old woman’s staggering back and smiled. “Didn’t you say that it’s almost tfor
my appointment with my therapist?”
The atmosphere between the two gradually eased. Elizabeth had even begun to get used to Frank’s thoughtfulness. He was
always calm and thoughtful, and she found it difficult to be angry at him. Even if they 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 tfor the appointment.
“You two are so punctual,” welcomed SalWilson as Frank and Elizabeth entered the clinic. She was very impressed by their

punctuality
Salwas Elizabeth’s therapist and a classmate of Frank’s when they were in med school. Both Saland 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.
Salnodded and showed Elizabeth into the consultation room.

After forty minutes of consultation, Salsmiled and congratulated Elizabeth, “Your recovery is going very smoothly. In fact,
you don’t need to chere in person anymore if you’re busy in the future. You can make an appointment for an online
consultation instead.”
Elizabeth looked out of the door subconsciously and felt much more relaxed. She faced Salagain and thanked her, “Thank
you, Dr. Wilson. I felt confident about your treatment because you’ve always been 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 Salas she showed Elizabeth out of the consultation room.
Frank was still waiting outside the room when they cout. Salturned to him and said with a smile, “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 askingabout her condition in 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. You should know that it’s wrong to
spout nonsense.”
It was obvious that Frank treated Saldifferently from the others. Elizabeth could feel there was a form of tacit understanding
between them.
Elizabeth felt her heart sink all of a sudden. She looked at Saland tried to keep her voice as natural as possible, “May I
know where to settle the bill?”
Salgrinned and patted Frank on the shoulder. “You’re Frank’s patient. With our relationship, you don’t have to pay,” she said
playfully.
Elizabeth was stunned by her reply. She turned and looked stiffly at Frank. What exactly was the relationship between the two of
them?
