After Being Cheating novel Chapter 188

"It's a gift from my boyfriend. Don't you even think about it. You'll only get it over my dead body." Janet pushed him out of the house and said, "Get out. I don't need you to teach me how to cook."

Caspar left the house and did not try to get in again.

Janet locked the door immediately and took a look at the bead on her neck. Thankfully, he didn't get it.

She looked at the pot in the sink. It frustrated her that she forgot to buy cleaning materials.

She got all the kitchenware out of the sink and planned to go out again to buy all kinds of cleaning supplies.

She took 200 out and put it in her pocket unwillingly. 'That should be enough. Things aren't very expensive here.'

Janet opened the door and saw Caspar walking toward her with a plastic bag.

As he came closer, she stared at him warily and clamped her hand against her neck.

It seemed that she had invited a thief into her house.

Caspar pretended not to see what she was doing and handed over the plastic bag to her, "Wash it."

Janet shook her head and intended to walk past him. Caspar stopped her and said, "You are pregnant. You better not go out at night."

Janet ignored him and tried to pass by him again.

Caspar noticed the dislike and carefulness from her face and smiled lightly. It was the first time a woman had given him the cold shoulder.

"Don't you want to learn how to cook?"

Janet stopped walking, turned around, looked at the arrogant man, and said, "Yes, I do. But you must keep your hands off me."

... Caspar was speechless. He never met someone that silly.

They got back to the house together. Janet took the brush out of the plastic bag and tried to wash the pot again.

Caspar leaned against the wall and looked at her quietly.

'She seems like a simple girl from a rich family. Why would she leave her family when she is pregnant?' Caspar wondered.

As Janet was washing the pan awkwardly, Caspar couldn't stand it anymore. He tugged at her sleeve and pulled her aside.

Caspar cleaned all the pots in no time.

Janet stared at the man with astonishment while he was doing the cleaning. Never judge people by their appearance.

Caspar glanced at her and said, "Look carefully. I would only show you this once."

Janet washed her hand and observed carefully. After Caspar finished cleaning the rice, he put it in the rice cooker with some water. Then, he covered it with the lid and pressed the START button.

"Okay. Just wait and it will switch to WARM automatically."

"Then?"

"Then you have cooked rice." Caspar washed his hands and was about to leave her house.

Janet looked at the rice cooker carefully, wondering when it would be done.

"Are you only eating rice for dinner?" said Caspar in a condescending tone, casually glancing at the bead.

Janet nodded and dropped her head. "I don't know anything about cooking. It is enough for me."

'There is not enough money for delivery. I should make the best of this rice, ' she said to herself.

Caspar frowned at her unconsciously. 'Was the baby's father dead?' he wondered. 'Who would allow a pregnant woman to live in such a shabby house alone?'

He spat the question out eventually, "Where is the father?"

Janet made a short pause and answered, "Dead, " without raising her head.

...

Caspar did not believe what Janet had said, as she mentioned her boyfriend just ten minutes ago when he asked about the necklace.

"Buy some meat and vegetables tomorrow. I will teach you how to cook." He could not help but offer her some help.

If the bead around her neck was real, he must take good care of her.

Janet would not know that the bead given by Daniel would bring some big changes in the future.

For her fate and her life...

Janet turned around and said skeptically, "Do you know how to cook?"

Caspar nodded his head and said, "You are pregnant. Having only rice is not enough. I am going to order delivery for you. You wait in your house, and you can find me next door if you need me."

Caspar was supposed to go out, and he had to postpone his schedule.

Janet stopped Caspar before he could open the door, "You don't need to order me delivery."

She did not have enough money for it.

Caspar was confused.

"I... just got my job, and I don't have enough money for delivery." Nobody knew how painful it felt when she said it.

She had never thought that she would experience this in her life.

Janet's face was red because of the embarrassment. Caspar knew that it had hurt her self-esteem.

"I'll buy it for you. You can buy me dinner in return when you have the money." After he finished, he walked out of her house.

Janet followed him out and said in a hurry, "I said no! You don't need to order me delivery."

'I don't need anyone's pity or charity, ' Janet told herself firmly.

Caspar turned around, stared at her belly, and said, "But the baby needs nutrition. If you only have rice, it will delay the baby's development."

...

She felt sorry for her baby and touched her belly lightly. 'What should I do?'

Janet brought out 200 dollars from her pocket, put it in Caspar's hand, and said, "Please, order it for me. I... I don't have a cell phone."

Caspar looked at the crumpled bills. It was his first time to feel sorry for a woman.

He had a rough idea of who she was, so he did not turn her down. He took the money and told her to wait in her house.

Janet came back to her house, squatted beside the rice cooker, and cupped her chin. She stared at the cooker intently, waiting for it to be ready.

At this moment, she understood the true meaning of poverty. She could only have simple meals because she didn't have any money.

Without money, she could not eat whatever she wanted. She even could not afford pickles, not to mention chicken drumsticks.

She had to think twice before she bought anything.

But she had no choice but to get something good to eat because of her baby. It needed the nutrition.

After a while, the button on the cooker finally switched to WARM. Meanwhile, someone rang her doorbell. She opened the door and saw a men dressed as a bodyguard.

He handed over the bag to Janet and said, "Good evening. This is your delivery." Judging from the bag's size, there were several boxes in it.

"Thank you!" Janet took the delivery bag. It seemed that there were at least five or six dishes.

Janet thought for a second after the delivery guy left. She knocked at Caspar's door, and he opened it.

"I don't think I can finish all of it. Do you want some? I haven't opened the box yet." When she was talking to Caspar, she wondered if 200 could cover for all the dishes.

Caspar shook his head and said, "I've had dinner."

"Does it cost... over 200?" Janet scratched her hair and asked him shyly.

There was a sparkle in Caspar's eyes. He glanced at her and said, "Only 99. There was a discount."

'So, there was 101 left. A discount? I am so lucky today! All right then.' Janet accepted the answer and walked back to her house with all the delivery.

She put the bag aside and went to get the rice immediately. She opened the lid so quickly that she burnt her finger.
