After Being Cheating novel Chapter 195

Melissa was initially walking slowly, but when she thought that the man in front of her was her father, she picked up the pace and ran towards him.

She stretched out her short arms, and shouted, "Daddy!"

Her sudden yell shocked all the people that were present in the church.

Besides calling him daddy, they also found that the girl's face closely resembled Daniel's. They wondered if this was his and Ivanka's child.

When she saw the little girl coming closer and closer to Daniel, Shirley felt her hands suddenly becoming colder, and her uneasy feelings intensifying.

Not only was Shirley feeling uneasy, but the man next to her as well.

He stared at the cute girl, and wondered where she came from.

Melissa kept running and eventually stopped in front of Daniel. Without hesitation, she held Daniel's legs with her little arms, and while showing her lovely white little teeth, she said, "Daddy! Hug, hug!"

Daniel was staring at her, and he couldn't help but bend down to her. At that moment, he could clearly see that the girl really resembled him...

Then he held her up in his arms, and he couldn't help to ask, "Your mother is..."

"Here!" A familiar voice was then heard, which startled everyone present.

At the door there was a woman surrounded by six bodyguards. Her hair was tied up on her head, and she was wearing a white suit, with a pair of white high-heel shoes.

This woman, with her outstanding graceful temperament, was none other than Janet.

The woman who had disappeared for almost three years.

The familiar face made both Samuel and Ella's hands tremble, and so did Daniel's.

Janet looked deep into the handsome man's eyes, who was dressed in an elegant tuxedo. Their eyes met, and the looks in both of their eyes were filled with unutterable and complicated emotions.

Janet moved her eyes away, and then walked towards her parents.

"Dad, mom, I'm back." She spoke to her parents in a low voice, on the verge of tears.

Ella wiped off her tears from her cheeks, and couldn't believe what she was seeing.

"Jane!" called Samuel. Although he was a man, his eyes were red and flooded with tears when he saw his daughter again after her three year absence.

Instantly, Janet was surrounded by all the people there. They all kept asking her questions, one after another. They wanted to know how she was, and where she had been in the past few years.

Then, a few moments later, the little girl in Daniel's arms was taken away by Lola. Looking at her lovely granddaughter, Lola also silently wiped her tears off her face.

Samuel and Ella then finally grinned a smile on their faces; they had seldom smiled in the past three years.

While Daniel was still indulging in the joy of being a father, Harry walked over to him, and ignoring Shirley, who was now wearing a pale face, said to his son, "This wedding ceremony must now be cancelled!"

"Daniel..." Shirley called the man's name in a low and soft voice. From the moment Janet had showed up, the man had kept his silence, without uttering a single word.

Daniel drew back his look and calmed down. He said to Harry, "No, my wedding ceremony won't be cancelled."

His words dumbfounded everyone in the church.

Janet tittered, and then she held her daughter in her arms, and said, "Dad, mom, brother, sister-in-law, let's go back home."

Lola hastily grabbed Janet's hand, and while casting a sharp stare at her son, she said, "If you insist on still getting married today, then we'll all leave!"

Daniel tittered too. Janet indeed had the power to catch and hold everybody's hearts in the palm of her hands, even though she had been gone for three years.

"That's up to you!" answered Daniel.

His simple answer infuriated Lola.

Janet got free off Lola's grip, and while she was holding her daughter and looking at Daniel, she said, "I wish you a happy life. I'll also be getting married soon, and your daughter will have to call another man 'father'!"

Finishing her words, Janet turned around in an arrogant manner and then walked towards the church's door.

'My daughter will call another man 'father'?' thought Daniel to himself, and a cold light flashed through his eyes.

When Janet left, Samuel and Ella went away with her too, and then Jerry and Sally, Lola, Harry, Sven, Nicole, pretty much all followed her and left the church.

In the end, one by one, all the people left...

Daniel looked around the empty church, but instead of being angry, he laughed.

"Daniel..." called Shirley again. Each time she called Daniel, she called him with an affectionate tone.

But Daniel didn't even look at her, and simply said, "The wedding is cancelled."

He then left the church without turning his head around.

All the people went to the Royal Mansion Neighbourhood, to Mansion No. 8. The living room was crowded with people, each of them acquainted with one another.

Melissa was held by all the people present there. Finally, Ella came and stood in front of her daughter, and in a stern voice, called, "Janet Shao!"

"Yes?" responded Janet. She curiously looked at her mother, who had suddenly changed her face.

At that moment, the living room had become quiet.

A heavy slap then fell onto Janet's face.

Janet covered her sore face, but she wasn't angry; instead, she was full of guilt.

Although Samuel was angry at his daughter, when he saw his wife slap her face, he still felt pitied her. He then held his daughter in his arms to comfort her.

Daisy came over to stop Ella, and said, "Ella, she's returned and is safe now, isn't she? Why are you still angry at her?"

"Daisy, don't try and stop me! I have to teach this ungrateful daughter of mine a lesson!" said Ella. She then began to choke with tears.

Janet got free off her father's arms, and walked up to Ella. She said, "Mom, I'm sorry for what I've done! Please, hit me again!"

She really wanted her to slap her again, so that she could feel better and chase away the feelings of guilt that she had.

Lola was holding Melissa tight in her arms, and didn't let her see Janet's face. She then came to stop Ella, and said, "Ella, why did you slap Jane's face? It wasn't Jane's fault, it was Daniel's. He's the one that should be taught a lesson!"

Finishing her words, Lola called Daniel right away.

Ella stared at her daughter, and said, "Did you hear that? Your great grandmother and grandmother have ever been ill for a long time because of you! Why? You didn't even call us this whole time! Don't you think that you're unfilial and ungrateful to us?"

'Great grandmother and grandmother have been ill?' thought Janet. It had been a long time since Janet had cried last time, but now she couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Mom, I was wrong... Please, just hit me!" Janet then moved a step closer towards her mother, and she held up Ella's hand to slap her own face.

Lola dragged and stopped Ella, and everyone there began to persuade and comfort them.

"Ella, Jane's already back, don't be angry anymore, " said Lola again.

Jerry pulled his sister back, and while looking at his mother, he said, "Mom, like mother* said, this is all Daniel's fault. Jane left home because of Daniel, and he's the one that should be punished and slapped!"

When Jerry had just finished his words, the door bell rang.

Janet turned around and looked at the mansion's door in the living room.

Daniel peacefully walked into the living room, and upon laying his eyes on him, Harry started scolding him in a stern voice. "Daniel! Do you admit to your mistakes?"

In the same time, Lola handed Mellisa to Lillian. She didn't have the patience to argue with Daniel, and instead grabbed a feather duster from one of the room's corners and hit Daniel with it.

"I'll hit you till you're dead! You're a bad son!" said Lola.

Daniel didn't defend himself, and just let Lola hit him on his back and arms.

Finally, Anna stopped Lola.

Wearing a dark look on his face, Daniel glanced at his mother, and said, "Mom, she didn't trust me at all at that time! I told her that nothing had happened between Kate and I, and neither between Ivanka and I, but she still didn't believe me, and what's more, she also ran away. What was I to do?"

Sally also backed up her brother, and said, "Jane, my brother is speaking the truth, Ivanka's baby is not my brother's. She confessed to Daniel about the fact that her father had asked her to cheat on Daniel, exchanging her elder sister's safety!"

...

Backing against all the people, Janet gnawed heavy on her lower lip, and wondered if Sally's words were actually true...
