After Being Cheating novel Chapter 290

Selina roared, "Mom! Do you really think your daughter is that ugly?"

All of them burst into laughter. In reality, Selina was not ugly. She actually had inherited Eason Bo's good genes and looked pretty.

She was still a young, cute girl; she has yet to blossom into a refined, beautiful lady.

Janet chose more sets of night dresses for Selina. Then, she went on to do her own makeup.

Before she started applying her foundation, Janet took out her phone. Her WeChat app kept making sounds. She clicked on it, and saw that there were more than 99 messages in their WeChat Group.

She scrolled through the messages to find out what the fuss was about and saw Selina's photos of her.

Her face flushed red, especially when she saw Daniel's comment about it. It wrote, "That's my beautiful girl!"

The other people cheered and echoed his message. Some of them congratulated Daniel for snagging a beautiful woman, while some were asking for a wedding date.

Upon reading the messages, Janet's face turned hot and bright red. She immediately closed the phone and was about to put it aside, but the phone suddenly rang.

It was Daniel.

After she clearing her throat, she answered, "Hello, Mr. Si."

"Why are you dressed in such a beautiful dress while I can't see you?" She heard a disappointed man on the other side of the line.

'Was this supposed to be a compliment?' thought Janet.

She then mumbled in a low voice, "Well, you're on a business trip. It's not my fault."

Daniel got out of his car and chuckled, "Whose party are you going to attend?"

"I will be attending a birthday party of some lady. Mother* is taking me there, " replied Janet. But she forgot the lady's name.

After hearing her words, Daniel kept silent for a few seconds. He was trying to guess whose party she would be attending.

Then, he said, "If you don't have to stay long in the party, come back home earlier." Daniel said 'come back home', but not 'go back home'. But Janet didn't notice the subtle difference of the phrase he used. Instead, she focused on why she should leave the party earlier.

Looking at Mansion No. 9, Daniel explained, "We have to be cautious of Hobson, just in case he is plotting something bad in C Country."

Hobson had only been in jail for a couple of days, but he was bailed out by someone. Since then, he hadn't showed up and taken his revenge.

Daniel knew that Hobson hadn't given up yet; he was only waiting for the right opportunity to strike back.

"Well, okay... When are you coming back?" She asked him.

She seemed to have... missed him so much.

"What? You already miss me?" Leaning against his car, he asked calmly.

Janet's face flushed red, so she threw back the question and asked, "How about you? Do you miss me already?"

"Jane, please don't answer me with the same question every time I ask you if you love me or if you miss me. Okay?" He said softly.

Janet knew he wasn't upset, but she still went on saving her own face and said, "You haven't answered my question, either.

Don't act so indifferent. I know you're dying to be with me right now."

The makeup artist was painting some powder on Janet's face, so she didn't hear Daniel's response because she had to move away her phone.

She then asked him to repeat his answer, but Daniel kept silent for a short moment and said, "I didn't say anything."

"Yes, you did! I'm having my makeup done, so I moved away my phone just now. I didn't hear what you said, so say it again!" She vaguely heard the word 'missed', but Janet wanted to be sure.

Daniel sighed in his mind and said in a low voice, "Jane, I have missed you."

If he hadn't had missed her so much, he wouldn't have been working day and night abroad to finish his work and come back as soon as possible.

Hearing these words filled her heart with the happiness. She instantly wore a sweet smile on her face.

Looking at the mirror, Janet noticed that her cheeks turned bright red, even without a blush on. Her eyes also glimmered with affection...

She then cleared her throat, trying to calm down, and said, "I knew it!"

The man then asked, "Now, is there anything you want to say back?"

Janet had put on a sly smile and said, "No, I don't."

"That's unfair! You're taking advantage of me!" protested the man.

Surprised by how absurd he was, Janet almost choked. How could she had taken advantage of him if he was abroad?

"Fine. If you want to hear me say it, then wait until you come back home!" She said this on purpose and continued, "But my reward will only be valid for only three hours."

The flight between Green Cold Country and C Country lasted more than three hours. Janet laughed and knew that Daniel wouldn't be able to make it.

While Janet indulged in thinking how clever she was, Daniel was donning an even more cunning smile. But he pretended to be upset and complained, "Jane, how can you treat me this way!"

"If you can't make it, it's not my fault!" She fluttered her eyelashes in victory.

At that moment, Angela suddenly appeared behind her, and asked in a loud voice, "Jane, why are you wearing a naive smile on your face? Is it a call from Daniel?"

The sudden loud voice startled Janet so much that she almost dropped her phone on the ground.

She was afraid that Daniel might hear Angela, so she hastily covered the speaker and said, "Angela! What nonsense are you talking about! Go and do your makeup now!"

Wearing a cunning look, Angela took a glimpse of Janet's phone and saw that it really was Daniel. When she saw Angela peeping at her phone, Janet hurriedly covered it, but it was too late!

She then left it alone. Everyone already knew that there was something going on between them, so she didn't need to hide anything.

After Angela sat beside her, Janet continued to talk to Daniel on the phone and shyly said, "You... go back to work!"

'This naughty Angela! How dare she say I look naive!' thought Janet.

But she then heard Daniel laugh in a low voice. Unaware of her embarrassment, he said, "Naive? Jane, I really want to see how you look now!"

"Daniel Si!" Brandishing a deeper shade of red on her face, she called out Daniel's name in a louder voice.

When she heard the name, Angela leaned toward Janet, and said, "Aha! It really is Daniel."

"I don't want to talk with you anymore. I need to finish my makeup. Bye!" Janet ended the call right away. Then, she rolled her eyes at Angela.

When she saw Janet had hung up the phone, Angela immediately sat back on her seat and said naughtily, "Okay, okay! Now do my makeup! Hurry!"

...

The three pairs of mothers and daughters finally finished dressing up and making up. They all got in the cars and went to the hotel at the same time.

As the three chatty, young girls squeezed inside the same car, the three mothers had no choice but to sit in another car.

Actually, Carol Yi initially wanted to invite Ella and Janet to attend her birthday party, but when Sabina saw their names, she immediately crossed them off the list.

Carol was not only the wife of Taylor Fan, a business tycoon, but she was also the younger sister of Ethan, the head of the Public Security Department. Because of this strong background, a lot of people were invited to her birthday party.

Sabina was wearing a black evening dress today. She followed her mother to greet every guest.

She had also sent an invitation card to Daniel, but his secretary said that Daniel was on a business trip abroad. Sabina was very disappointed, but she still hoped that he could somehow come.

Much to her dismay, Daniel wasn't there, but Janet was. Sabina really hated her guts.

What's worse was she instantly became the focus of the party.

Angela, Janet, and Selina appeared at the hotel's door, hand in hand. Behind them, three honorable, well-dressed ladies also went in the hotel. Their arrival caused a great stir.
