After Being Cheating

Chapter 233 Why did You Have to Mention It

Angela also raised her hand, and said, "Me..." Under Sven's gaze, she continued, "Ten days!"

Hearing her, they all looked at Angela with envious eyes. Scott then protested to her, "Angela, please

don't show off with your happy, free days to us, okay?"

Scott was studying at the same college as Angela was, and he had known pretty well that Angela was

always skipping her classes, and was hanging around outside the campus most of the time!

Angela wasn't convinced by Scott's protest, and she distracted everyone's attention to Janet, and said,

"Please, I'm not the one that you should be focusing on! Did you guys know that, when they were in

college, Jane used to go with Bill to Korea to plant roses together? And they also went to France to

eat... what was that? I can't remember it's name, but anyway, some kind of specialties!"

Bill being mentioned, Janet thought that maybe she should have also invited Bill to come along on the

trip with them, to relax and lay his mind off of things.

In a gloomy voice, she said, "Oh, if you hadn't brought it up, I would have totally forgotten about it. I

think it's time to take Bill back to Korea again!"

Sally looked at her, and asked, "What are you going to do in Korea?"

Janet replied to her with three simple words, "Plant pretty flowers."

The man next to her suddenly stood up from his seat, and while pulling out a cigarette out of his pack,

he quickly strode to the parking lot nearby where he smoked it alone.

Janet looked at his back, and wondered if he actually wanted her to also shut up for the entire trip.

She then sighed, and thought that the man that she was looking at was really cold-blooded when it

came to love. She was perplexed at the thought that he had slept with her the night before, and now,

the following day, he could simply ignore her entire existence so easily.

The dishes were soon placed on the table, and Daniel also returned to his seat.

Enjoying the fresh and organic food, everyone felt quite happy and energized.

A dish of steamed carp fish was on the table, but it was placed beyond Janet's reach. She wanted to

eat some of it, but she gave up on the idea because it was too far away from her.

Jerry placed a fish slice on Sally's plate, and said, "Here, eat some more fish. You're pregnant, fish is

good for the baby."

Sally nodded, and happily ate the piece of fish on her plate.

Janet glanced at her brother and sister-in-law with an admiring look in her eyes, and tittered, "Sally, you

should ask my brother to go fishing for you!"

She then served some chicken soup in a bowl and put it in front of her.

At that moment, Janet noticed that the man sitting next to her still hadn't touched his chopsticks and

eaten anything yet.

Daniel was squeamish about cleanliness, and maybe these foods weren't to his liking.

Janet also initially didn't want to eat when she saw the unsterillized dinnerware chopsticks. But, after

experiencing the hard days in Z Country, she had become less critical of this kind of thing now.

Janet had always considered those days as hard days, but only according to her own experience; of

course, if they were to be compared to those of the refugees in Africa, she thought that she had been

much more luckier than they were.

Janet stretched out her arm in front of Daniel and picked up a slice of pork meat with her chopsticks,

but she didn't catch it well, and the slice of meat slipped right onto Daniel's plate.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that!" said Janet. She then hastily picked up the slice from Daniel's plate.

However, at that moment, Sven suddenly tittered, and cheered on Janet, "Jane, if you wanted to pick

up food for Daniel, you should have just said so!"

"Right, right! Daniel hasn't eaten anything yet!" echoed Selina. All except Janet and Daniel knew quite

well what their true mission was during their trip.

Janet was speechless when she heard them, and all of them seemed to not believe her.

She had to give up on her attempt to explain more. Instead, she picked the slice of pork meat and

raised it to Daniel's mouth, saying, "It's been on your plate already, and I don't want it anymore. I'm

giving it back to you."

Everyone tittered, and Daniel looked at the black thing in front of him, and frowned.

Janet didn't get his reply, and was just about to draw back her hand when Daniel suddenly grabbed it,

opened his mouth, and ate it.

All the other people on the table winked at Janet, which made her feel embarrassed of the whole

scene. She lowered her head and continued on eating her bowl of rice.

Again, Janet stretched out her arm and picked up another slice of pork meat. However, the same

tragedy happened again...

She again looked at the slice of meat on Daniel's plate speechless, and in her mind cursed the chef

that had sliced the meat into such small chunks!

Janet looked at their teasing faces, and asked in an even more embarrassed voice, "Can I explain

myself?"

But they shook their heads to Janet, and Jerry picked a slice of pork rib into his wife's bowl, and then

said to his sister, "You don't need to explain anything, the fact is that you're picking food for Daniel!"

Daniel blew a cloud of smoke out of his cigarette around the table. He then placed the cigarette

between his left hand's fingers, grabbed his chopsticks with his right, picked up a slice of meat and ate

it.

...

Janet made up her mind that she shouldn't eat out of that particular dish of pork meat again!

Moments later, Jerry looked at his sister, and asked, "Jane, don't you always like eating fish? Why

haven't you had any of it today?"

... Janet cast a stare at her brother, and thought in her mind, 'Why did you have to mention it? My arms

are too short, okay?'

She said, "Brother, please just take good care of my dear sister-in-law, and leave me alone!"

All of a sudden, while she was talking, she saw that a piece of fresh fish had appeared in her bowl.

The man next to her said in a peaceful voice, "It's my turn now."

Janet was just about to refuse him, but then she saw Daniel moving the whole fish dish in front of her.

...

Daniel's action triggered the anger of some at the table. One of them protested, "That's unfair! Daniel's

partial to Jane!"

Selina urged her, "That's right, Jane, you have to eat it now! Don't waste Daniel's kindness!"

Janet felt embarrassed, and nodded, "Okay, okay, I'm eating..."

'What did he mean with this? Wasn't he angry just a while ago?' thought Janet.

Janet began to have the feeling that everyone present was trying to hook her up with Daniel.

After the lunch, Janet wiped her mouth, and stood up from her chair.

The weather was hot outside, and while she was fanning her face with her hands, she walked to the

side of a small stream. It was a very hot day indeed, and she had wrapped a scarf around her neck,

which made a lot of passing onlookers stare at her.

She was boiling...

Inside the restaurant, Sven handed a credit card to Angela, and asked her to make the payment.

"Brother, I'm a lady! Shouldn't you go and do it yourself?" protested Angela. She fanned her face with

the card, and then walked towards the receptionist's counter.

"I have to take care of your sister-in-law!" said Sven.

... It sounded reasonable, and Angela stopped her protests.

Janet then came near Jerry and asked him where her luggage was.

Jerry pointed at Daniel's Maybach car, and Janet again felt helpless.

She walked up to the car trunk of Daniel's Maybach, and while looking at the man a short distance

away from here, she patted on the trunk.NôvelDrama.Org © content.

But Daniel didn't move an inch.

"Daniel!" she cried. She had no choice but call out his name; she was suffocating from the heat, and

wanted to take off her scarf as soon as possible. She would've rather been dressed in her coat than be

wrapped in that scarf.

Daniel stared at her with a serious look on his face. Janet felt more annoyed by each passing minute,

and yelled, "Open the trunk already! I need to take out something!"

She then slammed her palm heavily on his car to release her anger.

"Mind your manners!" Daniel only gave her a simple answer, and still didn't open the trunk.

Janet was furious, and wondered how could such a malicious man like this even exist in the world!

Why?

She took a deep breath, and tried her best to calm down.

She asked with a softer voice, "Daniel, could you please open the trunk's lid?"

Daniel then took out the car key, and pressed on the button, and Janet opened the trunk.

She searched for her things inside the trunk, but she couldn't seem to find her coat anywhere, even if

she had turned upside down everything, even Daniel's underclothes.

Without raising her head from the trunk, Janet asked Jerry, "Brother, where's my coat?"

Jerry thought for a second, and said, "I think it might be in my car's trunk."

...

Janet now really wanted to punch someone in the face! Really, really wanted!

Closing the Maybach's trunk, Janet then went to search inside Jerry's Audi trunk. Finally, she found her

coat there.

Janet immediately took off Daniel's scarf, put on her pink coat, and pulled its zipper up to her neck.
