After Being Cheating novel Chapter 193

She carefully asked, "Caspar, who... is your grandpa talking about?"

He looked at her, and gently said, "You."

...

Janet quickly shook her hands, and replied, "No, I can't. I know nothing, and I can do nothing."

She couldn't even cook a simple dish, let alone being the head of the Tianye Men!

"You really don't need to do anything. As long as you are loyal to Tianye Men, Caspar and Croft will help you to do all the things the organisation requests you." Caspar's grandfather was looking at her with curious eyes. The Tianye Bead had been missing for so many years, and Janet was the one who now had it. It was... fate.

Finally, Janet made a decision. She took off the Tianye Bead and put it beside Dillon, and said, "Since this is so important to you, I'd like to return it to its rightful owner now. I intend to give birth to baby and return to C Country. I won't stay longer than that, so I'm not suitable for succeeding to your organisations' leadership."

Then she looked at Caspar, and continued, "This Bead is just a keepsake for me. Since I've broken up with him, it doesn't matter whether I have this bead or not. Thank you for taking care of me these last couple of days, but I'll be leaving now."

Janet smiled at Caspar and nodded to Dillon. She then walked towards the door.

Dillon didn't say anything, but just gave Caspar a glance and went back to his room supported by the little girl.

Caspar understood what his grandfather meant. He took the Tianye Bead in his hands and followed Janet.

He followed her without saying a word, and when they approached the car, Caspar pulled her aside and put Tianye Bead back on her.

"No..." Janet wanted to leave, but Caspar left her no chance for refusal.

After Caspar put the bead back on her, the bodyguard opened the rear door for them, and they got inside the car.

The car drove out of Casper's family estate, and Caspar told Janet, "You will have a baby soon, and you should not live alone, for the time being, at least. I have prepared a room for you in my villa. You should wait there to give birth to your baby without any sort of distractions around you."

Janet still wanted to refuse, but Caspar pointed at her Tianye Bead, and said, "If you refuse my suggestion, then you need to go back and lead the Tianye Men!"

...

Caspar was just as domineering as Daniel. He brought her to his villa, along with all of her previous staff.

He also asked her to quit her job and gave her a bank card, saying, "This card has no payment limits, so you can buy whatever you want without any sort of hesitation."

Janet was left speechless. She looked at the black card and then looked at Caspar. She asked, "Are you going to keep me as lover?"

Caspar deeply looked at her, and replied, "If you want, why not?"

...

Janet sighed. "Can I decline?" she asked.

Should she be laughing, or crying? Daniel had only given her a bead, but because of it she was now involved with the Tianye Men...

Caspar stood up from the sofa and moved closer to her, and said, "Do you feel disturbed?"

Janet promptly nodded. She wasn't related to Caspar in any way, and she certainly felt nervous to receive such outstanding help out of nowhere.

Caspar pointed at her burgeoning womb, and asked, "Isn't their dad dead? You can marry me. Let me be their father, don't you see that everything is falling in its place?"

...

Janet was left speechless again. Never mind, she would stay there, for the time being, at least! She had decided to live there for her two babies, and after she would return back home, she could just pay Caspar a large sum of money in return for his kindness.

When she thought of this, Janet smiled at him. "You can leave now, I can take care of myself."

Caspar raised his eyebrows and thought that his offer was declined.

"Why are you so undiscriminating?" He put his hands in his pockets and looked at her with a smile on his face.

It was the first time in Caspar's life that he had fallen in love with a woman, and also a woman with another man's babies. What was worse than to be declined in such a straightforward manner?

His word made Janet freeze for an instant, because this sounded very familiar to her. Wasn't Daniel always saying things like this to her before?

'Janet, what an undiscriminating woman you are!'

'Janet, don't be undiscriminating...'

Seeing that she was in a trance-like state and in low spirit, Caspar then explained, "I... was just kidding."

Janet came back to earth and returned to her senses, and while smiling and shaking her head, she said, "Okay. I just suddenly... miss my family."

"Well. Maybe you should have a rest. I've employed a cook just for you, and he will be arriving here this afternoon."

Caspar looked at the time because he had to go to the company for a meeting.

She nodded, and said, "Drive carefully, and slowly."

Caspar smiled. He had intended to say something, but seeing the absent-minded woman in front of him, he just asked the housekeeper to send her upstairs.

In the next few months, Janet slept for longer and longer periods of time. She really thought that now she was unfit to work again.

She lived in Caspar's villa quietly, and Caspar seemed to be doing all the things that should've been done by Daniel. He often found time to go for a walk with her, and go shopping with her.

Janet kept his favor silently in her mind, and she decided to fully repay Caspar's kindness in the future.

When she was six or seven months pregnant, Caspar looked at her big belly and went to the villa everyday along with Sherry.

Sherry impatiently told Caspar, "Janet is all right! Don't worry about her so much."

Caspar then changed the frequency of her pregnancy tests from once every three days, to once a week, and then finally changed them to twice a month.

On the Chinese New Year's Eve, Janet called her family. Ella kept saying, "Jane, come back home! We should celebrate the New Year together!"

Janet felt her big belly, and shook her head. She said, "No, mom. I'll be back in March or April next year."

"Where are you now? What are you doing?" asked Samuel.

Janet lied to Samuel, "I'm now far away from you and I work here. Dad, I... Ah! I can only cook rice, but I still don't know how to even cook a simple dish. Your daughter is just the same as you regarding this matter. She's still very clumsy."

Samuel was amused by his daughter, and replied to her, "Janet, see how I'll fix you when you come back home!"

The snow was falling outside, but the room Janet was in was very warm. With tears in her eyes, Janet said, "Dad, I'm really fine. You and mom don't need to worry about me."

Samuel was silent for a while, and only said, "Remember to call your great-grandmother. Your grandma and grandpa are also worried sick about you."

"Eh, I will."

After she finished talking to her father, Janet called the old house at his request.

Hearing her grandma's choked voice, Janet also wanted to cry; she became even more determined to go back home after giving birth to her baby twins.

After hanging up, Janet wiped away her tears, pulled out the SIM card and gave it back to Caspar.

Caspar then immediately broke the SIM card and threw it in the trash bin.

He carefully asked her, "Who are you afraid of finding you here?"

He had a feeling that Janet wasn't afraid of her family and that she feared someone else instead.

But Janet just smiled, without saying another single word. Maybe she was afraid of both her family and Daniel. She really was afraid that her dad and mom would someday suddenly find her, and that when they saw her and realized that she was pregnant, they would be very angry with her.

She also feared Daniel, because if she heard his voice, she might have changed her mind...

After Janet called her family, as it was expected, Samuel gave the invalid phone number to Daniel.

Samuel said that he was calm about Janet; however he was actually even more worried because Janet seemed to be mysterious and elusive.
