After Being Cheating novel Chapter 52

After Ella spoke, all looks were then set on Janet.

... Janet choked on the piece of rib she was eating, spat it out, and then gulped a glass of juice.

'What's wrong with them these days? Why do both Daniel and mother think I'm pregnant?' thought Janet, even more puzzled by each passing moment.

She also felt very offended. How could she ever get pregnant during her period?

With a snap, Samuel put down his chopsticks on his plate.

"Jane, are you pregnant?" Sally asked. When she heard this, Sally, who was sitting opposite to Janet, was bewildered, and looked at Janet, who was starting to choke on her food.

Daniel was also eating his food, but slowed down and eventually stopped.

When she could speak again, Janet said to her mother, "Mother, I'm your daughter. How can you think that I'm pregnant? You make me feel ashamed of myself and will also ruin my reputation. Have you forgotten already that I've been to the hospital a couple of days ago because of my period?"

Both Samuel and Ella felt relieved when they heard her. 'That's right. How could she get pregnant during her period?' thought Ella.

"But what's wrong with you? Isn't the food I cooked not delicious?" In fact, Ella was good at cooking, so she was even more puzzled at her daughter's response.

Janet felt even more upset and didn't know how to explain to them that she felt ill because of what had happened in Daniel's bathroom last night.

"No. The food you made is, as always, very delicious, mom. Look, " spoke Janet.

With these words, she picked up some braised prawns with her chopsticks from a plate placed in front of her, and thought, 'I'll eat whatever I want and like.'

When they saw Janet enjoying the food, the others continued eating and soon the overall atmosphere around the dining-table was back to normal again.

Daniel, who never spoke during the meal, didn't utter a single word and finished his lunch in complete silence.

After the lunch, Janet and Sally were holding John and playing with him on the creeping mat in the living room.

"Sally, how are you and my brother getting on?" asked Janet. Since Jerry had caught Sally and had taken her back home last time, they had never talked about their wedding ceremony.

Sally blushed a little, and then whispered in Janet's ear, "Jerry said that it was all my fault and there would never be a wedding ceremony for me."

"He can't do this to you! I must get a chance to reason with him!" said Janet. A marriage was not entirely complete without a proper wedding ceremony. After all, two of the most important things in a woman's life are to find the man who truly loves her and have a happy wedding.

The two women kept whispering to each other. Samuel, when he looked at Janet, asked Daniel, who was sitting next to him, "Are you still going on the business trip with Jane this afternoon?"

Janet, while she was chatting with Sally, heard her father's words. She immediately turned around to face him, and said, "Father, I don't need to go on a business trip anymore because I've already quit my job."

"You've quit your job?" asked Samuel. He was a little surprised when he learnt of her resignation all of a sudden. Even Ella, who was helping the servant clear the table, also stopped for a moment and walked up to Janet.

Everyone started to look at Daniel and Janet.

When she saw that Daniel didn't utter a single word in reply, Janet had to take the lead, and said, "That's right, father. I'm going to find a space for my pastry shop this afternoon. I'll run my own pastry shop and pursue the life I really want."

"Father and mother*, I should go now; I need to return the company to deal with something, " said Daniel. While he was speaking, he suddenly stood up from his chair, said his goodbyes to Jerry, and then immediately left.

(*TN: Here father and mother mean sworn father and sworn mother)

Getting a little angry, Janet, who saw him just leave, put John down, and said, "Father, mother, Jerry and Sally, I'm sleepy, and I have to go to bed now! Excuse me!"

...

They saw the two of them, who were very odd, leave the room with confusion in their eyes.

The following days, Janet finally found a suitable shop all by her own.

The shop was in the pedestrian street which was not that far away from The Royal Mansion Neighborhood. In order to support his daughter and her dream, Samuel hired a famous pastry master to help Janet along with things.

As for the funding, Samuel had directly transferred ten million dollars to his daughter's bank account before Janet even had the chance to ask him to do that.

With this kind of funding in her hands, Janet decorated the shop, purchased some essential, necessary stuff, and hired six employees.
