After Being Cheating novel Chapter 89

Janet felt guilty at that moment and cleared her throat, trying not to utter any more strange sounds. "Mother, I'm in a meeting... Ah! It doesn't matter, mother. I'm in a meeting now..." she spoke.

But then she suddenly stopped speaking, because she was trying to grit her teeth.

'Daniel, you're such a despicable man!' she thought.

"Jane, are you in a meeting? When can you get back home? Would you like your father to come and pick you up?" asked Ella. When she couldn't hear Janet's reply, Ella curiously checked the phone and found that Janet was still connected!

Janet immediately shook her head, but when she realized that her mother couldn't see her shaking her head, she dug her fingernails into Daniel's arm and then took a deep breath.

"Mother, no, thanks. I'm busy right now and the meeting will be over later!" she replied in one single breath.

She then quickly hung up the phone and quickly gasped for air.

"Daniel, you are such a bastard!" she shouted. Janet, with her arms around Daniel's neck, furiously took one bite on his neck.

...

At about 12 o'clock, midnight

Janet, with her long hair loose, began to put on her clothes in a haste. When she glanced at the button-less coat on the ground, Janet picked it up and wrapped it around herself.

After that she grabbed her phone, which had been ringing all the time, and left Daniel's bedroom, her legs flaccid.

It wasn't until she got in her car, that Janet dared to call her father. "Father, what's up?"

"Jane, what happened to you? What took you so long to answer the phone?" asked Samuel. He had already gotten dressed and was just about to go out and look for his daughter.

"I was in a meeting just now and my phone was on silent mode, but now I've almost safely arrive at home, " replied Janet. She tightly held onto the steering wheel and her heart beat faster because she had just told her father a lie.

Then she looked up at the second floor of the No. 9 villa, and found that the guest room's light was turned on and off again.

And she also remembered Daniel's words just now.

'So, does Daniel really go to Kate's room this time...?' thought Janet.

She really had a rich imagination but, in fact, Kate just went to the toilet just now and then came back to the bedroom.

"Hum. Just be careful on the road and call me if anything happens, " said Samuel. He then hung up the phone.

'No. This is not good!' Samuel thought. When he learned that Jane come off duty so late, he decided to have a talk with her and tell her that she didn't have to work so hard.

Janet then drove slowly towards her villa.

After she parked her car in the garage and stayed there for a while, she then snuck into her house and went up to the second floor.

When she had just opened her bedroom door, her mother and father's bedroom door had also opened.

Janet, who had a guilty conscience, immediately took off her coat and threw it on her bed.

"Oh, mother. Why didn't you go to bed?" she asked. Then she stroked her long hair. 'Oh no!' The rubber band, which she used to tie her hair with, was missing!

When she looked at her daughter, who was with her long hair hanging loose, Ella became confused, and asked her, "Why didn't you tie your hair up?"

"The... The rubber band broke... and I couldn't find it, " replied Janet. She then smiled, trying to hide her guilty conscience.

She then decided to do her hair and have it wavy so that it wouldn't look unkempt, whatever she did...

Ella somehow felt that her daughter was acting a little strange today, but she couldn't see what was really going on with her.

"Go to bed now. And also, from now on, never ever come back so late, because your father hasn't sought out the best bodyguards for you yet, " said Ella. Samuel had hired a team of bodyguards the last time, but he had fired them since they were not suitable or reliable.

"Mother, no, thanks..." spoke Janet.

"Well, Janet, you don't have the right to refuse. If you come back at home so late at night, how can we ever rest assured that you're alright?" Samuel also came out of the bedroom and stopped her from refusing.

When she saw that her mother and father were looking at her, Janet got angry and nodded. "OK. I see. Mother and father, good night!" she said.

She then slammed her bedroom's door.

Ella and Samuel, who were standing outside the bedroom, looked at each other and thought that indeed Janet was acting very strange tonight!

"We must hire some bodyguards for her! Fast!" said Samuel firmly.

"Right!" This time, Ella had fully agreed with him.

Janet, who was now in her bathroom, soaked herself into the bathtub, and when she saw the marks on her body, she suddenly blushed.

'Alas! What should I do? Why did I fall in love with a bastard? Janet, what should you do this time? Should I really give him up?' thought Janet. But she seemed to loath giving him up.

'Or shouldn't I give him up?' Although she knew that he was dating two girls at the same time, she still loved him without any sorts of hesitation, and so Janet felt that she couldn't give him up so easily...

She pondered on this question all night; she tossed and turned in bed, but she still didn't come up with any idea.

The following morning, she put the button-less coat into a shopping bag and was about to secretly throw it away.

When she went downstairs, Samuel had already got the breakfast ready as usual. This time, Ella had also helped him prepare the breakfast, and then they took all breakfast to the table.

"Jane, please come and have breakfast!" Ella, who had just put the fried egg on the table, called Janet to stop and have breakfast.

Janet looked tired because she hadn't slept well last night. "Mother, you got up so early today, " she said.

"Um, I'm going to the old house along with your father to pick up John later, " replied Ella. She then helped Janet pull out a chair and Janet put the paper bag aside.

"Jane, you've bought a garment for your great-grandmother, right? Give it to me, I'll deliver it to her, " said Samuel. He reminded Janet of it.

She nodded and then went back upstairs.

Ella, by chance, saw the paper bag, and curiously asked Samuel, "What is Jane going to do with the clothes?"

Samuel sat down at the table and shook his head.

'Dose she want to have it dry-cleaned because it's dirty?' Ella became even more curious and she opened Janet's paper bag.

She then took out of it the coat that Janet had worn yesterday.

"Oh? Why does the coat seem to be torn? Right, the buttons are missing..." said Ella. She showed it to Samuel and asked him to figure out what had really happened.

Samuel, who was eating his porridge, then put down the china bowl, and looked at Janet's coat.

He had bought his daughter this coat in America and he remembered that it had, indeed, buttons when he had bought it.

When he also remembered Janet, who looked very strange last night, Samuel curiously frowned.

After they looked at each other, Ella and Samuel seemed to be understanding something.

At that moment, Janet had already reached the stairs of the second floor. When Samuel winked at Ella, she immediately put the coat back into the bag.

With their own ideas on their minds, they finished their breakfast. After Janet said her goodbyes to her mother and father, she carried the paper bag in her hand and left the villa.

It was her father who had bought her this coat, and so she was unwilling to throw it away. She thought about it for a second and decided to take the coat to the shopping mall and add several buttons to it before going to her shop.

When she had just walked out of her villa, she came across the familiar Rolls-Royce. Inside the car, Kate was sitting in the passenger's seat.

Janet just glanced at it and then got into her own car.

She already knew it. But she was still sad when she saw them, nonetheless.

She shouldn't throw the blame on anyone, because she herself had insisted on loving him, even if she knew that Daniel already had a girlfriend.

Her Benz followed the Rolls-Royce and then they drove off into different directions after they left the villa area.

Inside villa No. 8

Ella went upstairs, took out her phone and dialed Janet's shop.

"Hello! Zenia, this is Janet's mother speaking... Can I ask you something... Well, when did you get off work last night?" asked Ella. She sat beside Samuel when she spoke at the phone.
