Substitute Wife, Genius CEO novel Chapter 34

The wedding plans would proceed. Once the ceremony was over and he secured his shares to become the true head of the Sterling family, he wouldn't treat Summer unfairly.

But if Summer didn't know her place and kept throwing tantrums, he would stop indulging her entirely.

He couldn't wait to see how much she would regret it then.

By the time she did, it would be too late. She'd have to swallow the bitter pill she'd created.

Because of that, Xavier had visited Lily first thing upon arriving at the hospital, then asked Miles to tag along to help explain the situation.

Since Leo wouldn't accept the gift, Miles remembered his original purpose and turned his attention to Summer.

Before coming here, he had zero positive feelings toward this stand-in wife.

Knowing she had surgically altered her face to look like his sister made him downright disgusted by her.

He had heard all about Summer while abroad but had never met her. This was his first time seeing her in person.

The moment he locked eyes with Summer, his heart gave a violent jolt.

An indescribable rush of emotion surged through him.

Especially when he looked into her eyes—dark, bright, and clear as a pristine pool of water. The way she looked at him felt like she was seeing straight into his soul.

The sensation only grew stronger.

He was absolutely certain it wasn't revulsion or disgust. It was a bizarre, inexplicable mix of...

Familiarity. Warmth. An overwhelming urge to step closer.

But a second later, Miles rationalized it. He scoffed inwardly, convinced it was entirely because of her face.

Summer looked entirely too much like Lily.

He'd heard it was a surgical copy, and he had to admit, the doctor did a phenomenal job.
