After Being Cheating novel Chapter 375

Shirley took off her sunglasses and hat and walked straight toward Janet. She opened her mouth and said, "Janet, I am leaving now. I will return to my hometown with my parents. "

Janet didn't say anything. She had expected things to end like this.

"I owe you an apology for everything that had happened between us. Janet, I am sorry!" With these words, she lowered her head.

"I know that it is hard for you to forgive me, and I don't expect you to. But I just hope that you can find it in your heart to put all these things behind us." If only they could go back... back to the time when they were still best friends...

"This might be the last time that we'll ever see each other. But Janet, I will always... remember you." She knew she had no right to say these words. But she wanted to come clean and be honest about how she really felt.

"As for Daniel, he... was crazy in love with you. Back then, he only married me because he wanted to find you. On our wedding day, he didn't even invite my parents... When you were fighting over the issue with Ivanka..." Shirley stopped and bit her lip in distress. She found it hard to spit it all out. She had done something so horrible that even she hated herself for it.

"He really cared about you. He dropped by my place everyday just to see how you were doing. Later on, he asked me to move to a new apartment and gave me a check, so I can take care of you. He simply didn't want you to suffer..."

Janet remained calm as she listened to her words. However, she felt her heart beat, her fists clenched.

Daniel was such a big fool. He should have explained this to her before!

"I was merely cooperating with him just for show. Trust me, his focus was you, and only you. We... never held hands, not to mention had sex. He never touched me. Moreover, if I ever used any of his stuff, he would throw them away..."

Shirley continued telling her a lot of things that she never heard about. From Shirley's point of view, Daniel really loved Janet to bits.

Finally, Shirley rubbed her swollen eyes and sobbed, "I am so sorry, Janet. He really loves you. Please cherish his love. I wish both of you all the best!"

Her sincere words touched Janet's heart. She watched her put on her shades and hat. Then, she stood up to leave the lounge.

Janet quickly called out, "Shirley!"

She turned around.

Janet's face was covered with tears. She angrily yelled at her, "Why did you hide all these from me? Why did you lie to me like that? Why didn't you tell me the truth? Why?"

She wondered how much she had misunderstood Daniel.

Tears ran down Shirley's cheeks as she apologized to Janet again, "I am so sorry, Janet. I was wrong!"

Janet remained silent. After a long pause, she looked her in the eyes and softly said, "When you had finally gotten over Daniel, we can go to America together, and... we can visit the campus that we spent four years together."

Shirley covered her mouth and nodded in tears.

"Janet..." She sobbed.

The four years they spent in college together was amazing. Janet did not hang out with the rich, spoiled girls. Instead, she befriended Shirley, a humble but nice girl who was not well-off.

At first, Shirley thought that Janet pitied her. But she found out how honest and sincere Janet was later on. Janet made friends with Shirley because she liked who she was. The two became the best of friends.

She fondly remembered during one mid-autumn festival... They sat by the river and had a nice long chat under the moon light...

The beautiful memories made her cry even harder. She couldn't help but dash toward Janet. She embraced her warmly, and the two cried on each other's shoulders.

Eventually, Shirley took off. Half an hour later, Janet was still somberly sitting alone in the store.

Feeling exhausted, she took out her phone and updated her status, "I am blessed to have such a good friend!"

She also attached Shirley's photo with it.

Daniel's eyebrows furrowed when he read her status. He turned to Spark and showed him the screen, looking all confused. Spark shook his head. He didn't know what was happening either.

Women were so unpredictable. Yesterday, Shirley was still trying to flirt with Daniel and today she and Janet... were friends again.

What was Janet thinking? Did she want to share Daniel with Shirley?

Spark hit himself on the forehead, trying to get rid of the crazy idea in his head.

Just then, Daniel's phone received a message. It was from Janet, "Hubby, I love you."

...

Daniel's heart melted. He then called her. Janet wiped her eyes dry and answered softly, "Hubby."

"..." Daniel was in shock. Something must have gone wrong with Janet. She didn't behave like this before.

"Are you... sick?"

Janet instantly snapped back, "No, it's you who has gone mad!"

Daniel shook his head with a grin on his face. Then, he heard her gentle voice come from the phone, "Hubby, I am not sick. I just miss you a lot."

"..." Daniel was startled. He quickly hung up on her and hurried to get to her store as fast as he could.

Janet was not behaving herself right now. Did Shirley put something on her drink or something?

The moment Daniel stepped into the lounge, he saw Janet playing with her phone with tears in her eyes. He leaned over and asked angrily:

"Why are you crying?"

Janet raised her head in shock, "Wha- How? Why are you here?"

"Answer me!"

Janet tried to dodge his stare. She turned her head away and said, "Nothing. I was... watching something... emotional on TV just now!"

"So what is the deal between you and Shirley?" He hated to see her cry. Tonight, he would punish her for being so childish.

Janet shook her head and said, "We are fine. She already left."

Then, she remembered something and raised her voice at him, "Why are you asking? Why do you care?"

"..." Such a wicked girl! "Do I look like I give a damn?"

Roma found herself in an awkward position, seeing these two lovebirds bicker. She nodded to Daniel and left the two of them alone.

As soon as they were left alone, Janet stood up and flew into Daniel's arms. With her hands around his waist, she giggled, "I know you don't. Hubby, I love you!"

"Why are you expressing your love to me all of a sudden?" Daniel was both amused and shocked by how she was acting. He would have to ask Roma what the reason was behind Janet's sudden change of attitude toward him.

Janet grinned, "Nothing. Stop guessing around. Hubby, would you like some home-made dessert?"

She would lovingly prepare some durian-flavoured cake for him!

"Sure. But I have to attend an important business meeting. So I will take it with me and have it in the evening at home!" He only came here to check if she was doing fine.

"No problem! You can go ahead then!"

On his way back, Daniel put on his bluetooth earphone and listened to Roma's report as he drove.

No wonder she behaved like that!

His wife was so kind. Her friend betrayed her, but she still acted as if nothing had happened.

She also quickly accepted Shirley's apology as if she had forgotten all the pain she had suffered!

"Thanks for the report." Roma also told Daniel that Janet learned the whereabouts of Sabina from Shirley. At the moment, Sabina was in C Country.

She was seen a couple of days ago near Daniel's company.

As soon as Daniel ended his call with Roma, he quickly dialed another number and gave his order, "Find Sabina, and bring her to me!"

She was the one who poisoned Jane and wanted her to be raped by Hobson. He must hunt her down and make her pay!
