After Being Cheating

Chapter 387 My Brother is Unfortunate in Some Ways

The only way for Alex Gong to regain the Tianye Men leadership was to murder Dillon Qiao and

Caspar Qiao.

Daniel frowned, and wondered, 'Should we really go and visit Dillon?'

Then, after a second thought, he decided to visit him, so that he could return to his wife as soon as

possible.

He promised Brian to do that, and said, "Okay."

On that night, Janet couldn't sleep well. At about two o'clock in the morning, she suddenly woke up,

and sat up in her bed.

Scanning the spacious bedroom, Janet felt very uneasy. She felt frightened, and her heart kept beating

fast, without any particular reason to do so.

She then turned on all the lights in the bedroom to make it brighter.

She put on a coat, walked to the balcony, and looked at the sea in the dark. A horrifying feeling arose in

her heart.

'Daniel... Where are you? I miss you so much... Can you hear my cry?' she thought.

She went back to the bedroom and tried to dial Daniel's number again, but it was powered off.

Janet rolled to and fro in bed, and when it was about four o'clock, she knocked on Lola's bedroom door.

Harry opened it, and saw Janet standing outside, with a worried look on her face. He asked her, "Jane,

what's wrong? Haven't you gone to sleep yet?"

Janet felt a little embarrassed to speak out her demand. She said, "Father, I'm sorry to wake you up,

but I want to sleep with my children. Is that okay?"

"Were you awake for the whole night?" asked Harry.

"I, I felt kind of afraid..." Embarrassed again, Janet lowered her head. She felt awkward to be afraid to

sleep alone at her age.

But Harry understood her, and said, "Come in, please!"

Janet followed him inside the bedroom. Lola was still sound asleep, and Janet carefully carried

Michelle in her arms. Harry also carried Melissa, and silently brought her to Janet's bedroom.

"Thank you, father!" After putting down the child, Harry went back towards the door.

He waved at Janet, and turned off the brightest headlamp, and said, "Don't keep the bright light on

while you sleep. It's not good for your eyes. Sleep tight now!"

"Okay, thank you, " said Janet.

The door was then closed behind him, and as she looked at her two sleeping daughters, Janet felt

more relieved.

She lay down next to her daughters in bed, and looked at the other empty side. She really missed

Daniel...

When morning came, Harry told Lola all about what had happened earlier. Lola meditated for a

moment, and then called Sally. She asked Sally to come to their place and sleep with Janet for a while.

Janet understood why Sally had come there. She felt very moved by the gesture, and slept along with

her.

But again, at about three o'clock in the morning, she suddenly woke up again. In her dream, she had

seen her great grandmother holding her hands, and telling her, "Jane, my dear baby, please be

happy..."

Sally woke up too, and in a haze, she sat up in the bed, and asked, "Jane, what's wrong?"

When she saw that Sally was awake, the absent look in Janet's eyes gradually became more and more

focused, and she said, "Let's go back to the old house tomorrow! I want to visit grandfather,

grandmother, and great grandmother as well!"

Sally didn't know why Janet suddenly wanted to go to the old house, but she still nodded, and said,

"Okay!"

"Sally, please tell me more about your brother, " demanded Janet.

Sally smiled and was even more awake now. She said, "There's nothing interesting to talk about my

brother. I was under the impression that he was living a boring life before he met you. Just work and

work everyday... Now I think more about him, but I still think my brother is unfortunate in some ways..."

"Maybe it's because he inherited my father's character; ever since he was a teenager, he has

constantly been working. Even though he had Sabina as his first girlfriend, he still kept busy everyday

during those years."

Sally continued, "He was always busy and concerned about so many things, but it's astonishing that he

still doesn't look old. Actually, if I think better about it, he looks much younger than those of his age."

Sally then suddenly asked Janet, "Don't you think that's incredible?"

But Janet thought of another question, and she didn't answer Sally. Instead, she asked, "On the day

when I first came back from America, did you intentionally ask your brother to pick me up on the

airport?"

Instantly, Sally tittered, and replied, "Well, since now you're already married to my brother, I should tell

you the truth now! Yes, you're right! I did that on purpose! And it was also my mother's instruction!"

"... How did mother know about all of it?" wondered Janet.

"I had dinner at home the night before you're coming back, and I happened to let my mother know that I

would pick you up at the airport the next day. My mother and I discussed about this, and thought that

you and Daniel might give it a shot. So, I found an excuse, and forced my brother to pick you up

instead!" said Sally.

Janet felt speechless.

With a proud voice, Sally said, "In fact, my mother and I were the ones that hooked up you and Daniel

together!"

"... Weren't you at least a little worried about me being tortured to death by him?" asked Janet. Daniel

used to have taekwondo overarm falls with Janet each time they had met when they were kids. At the

beginning, she was always the winner. But later, even after she had changed teachers and had

practiced more, she still couldn't beat him again.

The two women kept whispering, and in the end, they both fell asleep...

At eight o'clock in the morning

Inside the Leroy Manor, the twins had been sent to the kindergarten, while Janet and Sally were still in

their dreams.

Janet's phone suddenly rang, and instantly woke her up.

It was a call from Samuel.

"Dad!"

"Jane, come to the old house with Sally right now. Hurry!" urged Samuel.

Perplexed, Janet looked at her wristwatch, and saw that it was only eight o'clock in the morning. She

asked, "What's wrong? Why so urgent?"

Considering Janet's pregnancy, Samuel didn't answer her question, and instead said, "Nothing serious,

please just come here as soon as possible!"

'Fine!'

Janet then woke Sally, and then washed and had breakfast. After telling Lola all about it, they hurried to

the old house.

On their way, Sally had also received a call form Jerry. Not knowing what he had told Sally, Janet

instead saw Sally's face turning pale.

"What... What are you... talking about?" asked Sally.

Jerry on the other side repeated his words again, and reminded Sally, "Don't tell Jane about it before

you two safely arrive at the old house first!"

With her eyes filling up with tears, Sally looked at Janet, who was wearing a curious look on her face.

Her tears went over the brim of her eyelashes, and then poured down on her cheeks.

Seeing her cry, Janet was anxious, and asked, "Sally, what's wrong? What happened?

Who's on the phone?"

It took Sally a couple of moments to come back to her senses, and Jerry kept reminding Sally not to tell

Janet about the news!

She then hastily hung up, and said, "It was your brother..."

She sobbed again.

Janet cautiously asked, "What's the matter with my brother? Did you quarrel with him again?" She

passed her a tissue, and asked her to wipe off her tears.

Sally shook her head, but then she remembered Jerry's instruction, and instead nodded to her, and

said, "Yes, yes, that's it, we were quarreling..."

Janet doubted Sally's unusual weird behavior. Sally hadn't mentioned a word about her quarrels with

Jerry last night when they had slept together in bed.

She gave up on her doubts, and while holding Sally's shoulder, she promised, "Don't cry, but please tell All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

me why the two of you are quarreling? I'll teach Jerry a lesson for you if you want!"

Sally shook her head, and said, "No, Jane. I don't want to talk about it right now... Let's talk about it

when we arrive at the old house!"

"Okay! But stop crying! My heart breaks when I see you cry!" Then, Janet placed her hands on her

chest, to show her where it hurt.

Sally tried to smile at her, but it was difficult. Eventually, she managed to grin, but it looked even sadder

than her crying did.
