After Being Cheating novel Chapter 370

"Dad, she has a big screen and I have a small one. It's not fair!" grumbled Melissa, pretending to be sad.

Daniel didn't reply to her. He thought for a while, And then called the manager, and said, "Could you go on an errand and buy me an iPad?"

Janet rolled her eyes in disagreement, and grabbed Daniel's phone, and stopped the manager, "That's fine, thank you anyway. I'll handle it!"

Holding the wedding gown in her hand, she walked up to Melissa, and took her hands away from her face. "Melissa, stop the playacting!" she said.

Melissa was obviously acting, because she could hardly squeeze a tear.

Daniel's mouth twitched, but said nothing.

"You can use daddy's phone to watch cartoons, " said Janet, trying to coax her. Although Daniel's phone had a smaller display, it was worth thousands of dollars more than the iPad.

"No!" insisted Melissa, knocking the phone from her mother's hand, and dropping it on the carpet.

From the logo, the phone was a MILA. Daniel had a very expensive limited edition of it.

Everyone was shocked, especially the shop assistants.

They expected him to get mad at the wilful girl.

Seeing what happened, Janet began to feel alarmed. She looked at his face, and for Melissa's sake, said, "Melissa is only a child..."

Daniel's face was flat. He pulled Melissa from Janet, and Janet was a little scared. She glued her daughter onto her and wouldn't let her go, but Melissa didn't seem to be afraid of her father, and instead went to him without any sort of hesitation.

Janet gave out a sigh, and let her go.

The manager picked up the phone, and handed it to Janet. "It isn't broken! It's still working..." she said, checking it and

Looking relieved.

She had punished the kids before when they had misbehaved in the past, but Daniel was a calm man with a strong character, and had never risked punishing them.

Contrary to her expectations, Daniel did nothing unpleasant. Instead, he put his daughter on his legs, and sweetly said to her, "Melissa, if you don't like my phone, how about we go and get a new iPad now?"

What?

What was that coming from the icy man's mouth? He wasn't behaving like his usual self would. He was acting like a true and loving father.

When Michelle heard him, she closed her iPad immediately, and cried, "Daddy, daddy, I want a new one, too. This is yours, and I also don't like the colour."

Daniel took the twins in his arms, and said, "Okay, let's go and get new iPads!"

...

Janet was too surprised by his behaviour to say anything. When she came back to her senses again, they were almost on their way out the door. She still tried to stop them, and said, "We've got a couple of iPads at home."

"But we also have a couple of houses, and each house needs two. It won't be too much, " retorted Daniel, while looking back at her.

...

Before she could think of some other words, he continued, "They've got some iPads in the shopping mall upstairs, we'll be back soon enough. When I return we can go on with our job."

With that, he then went out with the kids.

After they left, Janet sat back on the couch, with mixed feelings stirring inside her. When she was drinking a sip of water, She heard the shop assistants whispering. "Oh my god! What a cool man!" said one of the assistants.

"The point is that he's not only charming, but he also dotes on his daughters, and maybe even his wife!" said another assistant.

"Indeed! Just listen to him: 'We also have a couple of houses, and each house needs two!' My god! He's cool even when he's showing off!"

"Why is he showing off? Only the poor show off, he's one hundred percent authentically rich!"

As she walked into the washroom, one of the assistants said, "Yes, you're right! Oh, I really love him! I'd better fix my makeup, I should always look great around him. Who knows, maybe I might take the position of mistress some day!"

The others scorned her pitilessly, "Are you insane? Just look at yourself! You can't beat his fiancee no matter how much makeup you put on!"

After a while, Daniel came back with the kids, each one of them holding a new iPad in their hands.

The store's manager followed him from behind, carrying a bag in his hand.

Janet was sitting on the couch, with her chin resting in her hand. She cast a weary glance at them when she saw them.

Joyfully, the twins sat facing each other on the couch, and began to play their favorite cartoons on their iPads. The room instantly filled with cartoon character voices.

"Let's go, " said Daniel, walking up to Janet.

She followed him in dismay, and said, "You'll spoil them!"

"Think of Nicole Si, Sally Si, Angela Si, Selina Bo and Shelly Li; they all have doting fathers, but none of them have turned out to be spoiled."

They had been a bit indulged sometimes, maybe, but they were still sweet smart persons!

Janet didn't reply to him.

She suddenly couldn't find her words anymore.

After trying three gowns already, Janet felt tired, but she still had to try on the evening gown and traditional costume.

They had also planned to take their wedding photoshoot tomorrow, and she couldn't get too tired. To stop her, Daniel grabbed her in his arms and headed outside with her. "Kids, wait here, I'll be back in a minute to pick you up, " he said to the twins.

"Okay, daddy!"

Janet struggled to escape but failed. After he put her in the car, he went back to the bridal shop to pick up the children.

They then drove to a nice restaurant to have dinner together.

The next day, they took their wedding photos on a luxurious cruise ship, and then in a sea of roses designed by Daniel.

It took them two days to finish taking the photos, but they turned out in the end to be very satisfied of the final product. The shop was also permitted to upload several of their best pictures on their online website.

When customers saw the photos, the shop's orders followed one after another, and soon they ended up being booked until the end of the following year.

In the Royal Mansion, the two families met with each other and set the wedding date in the twelfth lunar month. That meant that there were still two months left for Daniel and Jane to prepare for the wedding.

At the end of the lunar October, when Felix Shao was thirty days old, the Shao family held a grand banquet to celebrate this.

During the banquet, Jerry toasted to the guests with his wife and son, and looked very happy.

Everyone admired the family's achievements, but they had no idea through what it had gone over the recent past couple of years.

For Janet and Daniel, it had been a long and bumpy road until they had reached their happy ending.

All the joys and pains that they had had engraved in their hearts.

Since the wedding date had now been set, Lola began to prepare the things needed for the wedding, including invitation cards, wedding cakes, and candy. She ordered thousands of gift boxes, with the new couple's photo printed on them.

They filled the boxes with candy and cakes, which had been all made by Janet.

Their marriage had caused a wave of sensation throughout the respectable upper-class society. And it also helped them secure their position as the top two families in C Country.
