After Being Cheating novel Chapter 124

Sven glanced at the staircase, and wondered, 'Why didn't Janet come downstairs?'

"Chuck, why have you come?" While he was asking Chuck, Harry fixed his eye on Sven.

Sven then regained his consciousness, took out an envelope out of his breast pocket, and then handed it over to Harry. He then said, "Godfather, I'm here to ask for your blessings, and I hope you and godmother can give them to me and let me marry Nicole!"

"Blessings?" Harry and Lola were shocked. They already knew that Nicole and Sven had been together, but they didn't expect him to propose to her so soon.

Harry was happy about this, and after he took the envelop and put it aside, he said sternly, "We agree, and I'll keep your betrothal present here, for now." Harry was pretty upset. Seeing the look on his daughter's face this morning, Harry had no choice but to agree to their sudden marriage.

Sven smiled and then sat back on his seat but, however, Harry's next words took away all of his joy. "Nicole was going to take the afternoon flight today, but she suddenly changed her mind and left with the morning one."

"Don't worry, godfather. I'll handle it as long as you and godmother agree with the marriage." He had decided to give Nicole a week's time to think about it. He would go to America to ask her again by then.

Sven told the media that Nicole was now his fiancee the second he walked out of the Si's Mansion. He wanted everyone know that Nicole was about to marry him.

If everyone knew and gossiped about it, then Nicole surely become his fiancee.

Then Sven's phone suddenly exploded with the sudden income of messages.

Including Nicole's, who had run away... Her phone almost shattered because of all the messages and calls she had received before she had gotten off the plane; all of them were asking about her marriage with Sven.

After picking up on a few calls, she now knew that Sven had already claimed that they were engaged.

...

Janet's shop would be officially back in business after the Lantern Festival.

Meanwhile, Shirley came from her hometown and was appointed as the shop's main manager there.

Janet rented a house for Shirley and also paid for her rent as a bonus for her employment.

It wasn't that far away from the Waterside Apartment Complex. At first, she wanted Shirley to live together with her, but because Daniel was staying at her place everyday, she gave up on the idea.

As far as Janet knew, Kate had now recovered from her gunshot injury and could get back to work.

After the first month of the lunar year, Daniel would focus more on his work in America.

He had told Janet that, and he wanted to take her there, but she refused him.

Daniel was so furious with her that he flew straight to America without telling Janet a single thing.

But before Janet found out what happened, Daniel had been working in America for three days already.

Janet checked her phone everyday and complained about how ruthless Daniel really was because he hadn't yet contacted her.

Every day when she opened the news about America, she found that it was basically all about Daniel, and occasionally Nicole.

Now that Kate had left the scene, the woman that revolved most around Daniel was the daughter of an American company tycoon.

It was the seventh day after Daniel had left the country, and Janet was furious since he still hadn't called or texted her.

He was driving her crazy! She was missing him so much!

She hired two locksmiths, and changed the door's lock at the Waterside Apartment.

Then she blocked his phone, unfriended him on WeChat, and blocked every one of his messages forever.

But that was useless.

The media was reporting news about Daniel every single day, and it didn't matter if it was either for the financial sector of the news or the entertainment sector; she could still see Daniel.

She was very upset, and thought to herself, 'He's the president of a multinational company, but why is he also in the entertainment headlines?'

Later on, she understood that it was because Daniel was being spied on by paparazzi more and more often.

For example, the media had photographed Kate appearing inside Daniel's villa in the United States, and also wrote that she didn't leave it until morning's time.

Another piece of news, for instance, reported that an international first-line movie star, along with Daniel, had appeared at a corporate's celebration party. After the party, they had went straight to the hotel...

Although all of these news pieces were only speculations, because Daniel didn't admit to any of them, the media had still photographed him.

Daniel also didn't fix this issue, and instead let the newspapers propel him to the first-page headlines.

Just when Janet was about to cut off for good the relationship between her and Daniel, she read another interesting piece of news.

The US media had reported that the first-line model that had a room with Daniel was kidnapped and was seriously injured.

It was just like what happened to Kate and her gunshot wound.

In the spring, Janet took Shirley to Africa just to have some fun.

And also that she had heard that Bill did, indeed, go to Africa to maintain world peace...

Janet was stunned by the man who was smiling at her, letting his white teeth show, and wondered how did Bill had become so tanned in such a short period of time...

She could only see his teeth sparkling in the distance.

However, not only Bill's appearance had changed. He became more prudent.

She found out later why; it was because of the frequent riots that happened on the border, and Bill had experienced both life and death when he saved people.

That made him understand how precious life really was and how much he really cared about his loved ones.

It was sunset, and Bill carried his infantry gun and sat with Janet under a palm tree and looked at the sun slowly falling in the horizon above the White Nile.

"Jane, after you return home, you should cherish the people around you more, because human life is really fragile, and maybe someday you won't have the chance to see them again, ever. You can't imagine the pain of being separated from your loved ones forever!

Jane, take care of yourself, and know that if you're happy, then I'll be happy.

And thank Daniel on my behalf. He sent me here and gave me the chance to learn about pain and suffering. You may not believe it, but there are still many people left in the world who don't have access to daily food and drinking water...

Jane, don't waste anymore food or water when you go back home, or I will hate you for it!"

...

Janet looked at the nagging tanned man in front of her...

She was speechless for now, but little did she know that soon enough she would also experience the suffering that Bill had just told her about.

"Bill, come home with me! I will ask Da... grandpa Han to bring you back home." Bill had changed a lot in just a short time. If he had stayed there for much longer, she would have eventually been unable to recognize him anymore.

Bill shook his head, and said, "Tell Daniel do more charity work and help those who really need it, no matter if they're in C Country or overseas."

Janet argued with him, and said, "Daniel has always been doing charity work. He often participates in charity auctions, and the media has photographed him many times when he went to welfare and nursing homes."

'How else did the SL Group become so powerful?'

If a company only made money, then its leader must've been ruthless.

But Daniel wasn't, and she knew that despite Daniel was cold on the outside, he was warm and kind on the inside.

Bill looked at Janet, who was now protecting her man, and said, "Jane, if you love him, just seize the opportunity and cherish him while you can; don't wait until you lose it."
