He Called Me a Substitute Wife

Claire Whitman thought she had married the man who loved her most. Ethan Ashford had pursued her, married her despite his family’s objections and always treated her like the woman he would protect for life. Then, after repairing her cochlear implant, Claire accidentally overhears the truth. Ethan never loved her. He only married her because the woman he truly wanted was his widowed sister-in-law, Rosalind. To make matters worse, he openly admits that Claire is merely obedient and convenient. Claire doesn’t scream. She doesn’t beg. She simply signs the divorce papers. While Ethan is busy protecting the woman he believes is his true love, Claire quietly leaves his world and begins building her own. Soon, the woman everyone mocked for being deaf becomes a rising star in medicine and scientific research. And the husband who once considered her a substitute begins desperately chasing the woman he discarded. But by then, another powerful man has already entered her life. A man who sees her worth. A man who doesn’t care about her disability. A man who is willing to fight the entire world for her. And when Ethan finally begs her to return, he receives an unexpected answer:“You should call her Auntie.” — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: He Called Me a Substitute Wife — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
