After Being Cheating novel Chapter 287

With his arms folded across his chest, Croft raised his eyebrows, and asked, "You just thanked Uncle Boswell and Uncle Quiller, but why not me?"

In fact, he had been the most fervent against Janet at the earliest beginning, and believed that if a woman acted as the leader of the Tianye Men, many people wouldn't be satisfied with this, or obey her command.

Even if she was merely a nominal head, there were still some people who wouldn't accept a female leader.

Croft had been also the first to take his men and oppose Janet, from time to time.

Caspar had told him not to do that for many times, but he still didn't listen to him.

When Janet had been once kidnapped, he had personally witnessed that Janet was not only broad-minded and unflappable, but had also greatly considered the overall situation that she was in. Following that event, he had started to change his opinion of her.

Besides, she had always kept a low profile and also had the cute twins, and Croft gradually began to like her and her two daughters. He even took Janet's twins as his sworn daughters.

Of course! He had liked her just like a big brother, and treated her as a sister. He hadn't been as foolish as Caspar had been, because he would have never liked a woman who had already another man in her heart.

Croft's words amused Janet, and she naughtily replied, "Croft, no words can express my gratitude to your exceptional kindness! You must understand my gratitude!"

In the beginning, she could feel that Croft had disliked her and had been a little sad, but she quickly thought positive. She didn't care whether Croft liked her or not because, after all, he wasn't Daniel.

Afterwards, Croft had always helped Janet in his quiet way, and Sherry had also saved her life...

Everyone in the Tianye Men had given her a lot of help.

Croft patted her on the shoulder, and said, "Take good care of my sworn daughters!"

"I will!" replied Janet. She would not only take good care of her twins, but also try her best to stabilize the relationship between her and Daniel, and let Daniel know of the existence of his other daughter as early as possible.

Um... Maybe she would give him a surprise on his birthday. When she thought of this, Janet snickered...

After she formally gave the Tianye Men token back to Dillon, Janet felt more relieved. But even so, she decided to return to C Country when Caspar almost recovered from his injuries.

Before she headed to the hotel, Janet went to Caspar's house and took all of her stuff first.

With the experience she went through this morning, Janet kept vigilant at all times when she was in Z Country. She wasn't afraid of Hobson, but she feared... the man who had kept her locked up for six months.

The public security in Z Country wasn't as safe as it was back C Country. She had personally seen a quarrel between two gangs, with a lot of people being killed during the struggle, but this sort of thing hadn't been investigated, and in turn none of them were arrested.

When she got back to the hotel and saw Daniel talking on the phone, Janet suddenly felt relieved.

After the bodyguard placed her luggage on one side of the room, he quickly left.

With his phone in his hand, Daniel walked up to Janet and kissed her mouth. After that, he continued to speak on the phone, "I know. Colin, auntie called me just the other day and asked me to persuade you not to stay in America because it's so far away from home. That's why I want you to come to Z Country and take over the new company branch."

Janet then went to pour herself a glass of water, and after she took a sip out of it, a gift box was placed in front of her.

"Well, I will transfer half of my shares and half of A Country's branch's shares to you. You don't have to start a business."

Wendy had wanted Colin to come back to C Country and settle down earlier, but Colin had stayed in America for three years, and didn't seem to have any plans to go back.

While Daniel was talking on the phone, he gave Janet the tip to open the box.

After Janet opened it, she found a pink phone inside it. It was the newest mobile phone that the SL Group had just released, and many people, coming from the richest families, had rushed to the stores to buy it.

Her phone was decorated with several rare, round, pink coloured diamonds.

"Colin, you don't have to thank me. I completely know about your sales performance in both A Country and America's branches. You've worked hard to increase those sales."

Janet joyfully checked out the phone and found that a picture of her and Daniel was put as a screensaver. The picture had been taken while they were kissing and watching the sunrise at Dongcui Mountain.

A picture of Daniel and Melissa had been also put as a wallpaper on the phone, and Janet knew that Daniel was the culprit that had set them up.

She raised her head and stood on her tiptoes to kiss Daniel's lips.

Daniel immediately put his palms around her head and tenderly kissed her back.

When he heard Colin talking to him, Daniel released her, and in a relaxed voice, replied to Colin, "Okay. The land here has already been bought and the building is in its design stages now. I'll ask Spark to send some pictures of it to you so you can have a look."

"Okay, bye."

After he ended the call, Daniel put his phone back into his pocket. He then held Janet in his arms, and kissed her mouth again.

When he was about to go a step farther, his phone began to ring again in his pocket.

Daniel began to pull a long face, and being amused by this, Janet pushed him away from her, and said, "Answer the phone first."

Without checking the caller's ID, Daniel, who was discontent, answered the phone and in a cold voice, warned, "You'd better have something important to talk to me, or otherwise, I'll send you to a wildlife park in another country to sleep with the lions!"

But suddenly he changed both his expression and voice, and said, "Father*..."

"Daniel, how dare you talk to me like that! And how dare you send me to such a place!" Samuel was so furious with him that he banged his fist hard on the desk.

Daniel lowered his head, and while he touched his forehead, he immediately explained, "I'm sorry, father*, I thought that you were Spark."

Janet, who was still playing with the phone, learned who was on the other side of the line and covered her mouth, snickering.

After he heard his explanation, Samuel changed his voice, and in a more softer tone, said, "Where's Jane?"

Samuel was angry again when he mentioned Janet who stayed in Z Country for a long time and had never even called him!

"She's sitting right next to me. I can ask her to talk with you now, if you like."

"Okay!" said Samuel.

Janet took the phone from Daniel, and in a gentle voice, said, "Father."

She was sure that Samuel had called just to scold her, and thought that she should say something nice to please him.

She was right! When he heard Janet talking to him like that, Samuel wasn't angry with her any longer. He began to complain, "Jane, why didn't you call me these last couple of days? Do you even know how worried I am about you?"

Janet had stayed in the Tianye Men of Z Country, and he was really worried about her safety.

"Father, I'm alright, Daniel is here to protect me. You don't have to worry." She smiled and looked at Daniel who was sitting on the sofa next to her. Daniel then held her in his arms and seemed to secretly listen to Samuel.

When he heard Janet's tone, Samuel guessed that she and Daniel had already made up. He then snorted, and deliberately said, "I'm afraid that you will run away from home again because of him."

Janet immediately promised him, "Father, I won't do such a silly thing anymore. Don't worry!"

In fact, she had indeed planned to go home with her children after she gave birth to them, but she had lost her memory during their delivery and her homecoming had unfortunately been delayed for two years...

"Okay, my dear daughter. When will you be coming back? Don't forget that you are a mother now. Don't you want to be close to your children?"

Melissa and Michelle always played at either the Si family, or the Shao family. They were indeed, very happy.
