After Being Cheating

"Who owns the restaurant?"

"Daniel, of course! He is the only one who is willing to spend so much money on this sort of thing." Janet didn't understand what Sven actually meant.

She just thought Sven mentioned that Daniel spent lots of money on the flower field and the decorations of these outdoor restaurants.

"Oh!"

After the waiters poured them a glass of red wine each, Janet put down her knife and fork and raised her glass of wine. "Let's have a toast!"

She was with her family and close friends now, so she didn't hide how happy she felt.

"Let's toast!" Bill also picked up his glass of red wine.

After clinking their wine glasses together, Janet drank up the red wine in her glass.

Others just took a sip and then put down their glasses. Sven was surprised to see her empty wine glass and asked, "Jane, why are you drinking up the red wine so quickly?"

If she just gulped down the wine without eating anything, she would get drunk easily.

Janet tilted her head and replied, "Because I'm happy!"

She didn't want to hide her good mood. Whenever she was happy, she would drink wine and eat meat to her heart's content.

Daniel took the wine decanter and personally poured her a glass of red wine. "Just drink as much as you want. Don't worry. I'm here to keep you company."

"Okay!"

They finished more than ten bottles of red wine. Although Janet had once been trained to hold her liquor, she became a bit tipsy, too. Before she got totally wasted, Daniel carried her in his arms and supported her to the car.

Except for Daniel and Jerry, all the others got drunk.

Since Spark had arranged drivers for them in advance, they all could go home after getting drunk.

Spark sent Daniel and Janet to Mansion No. 9, and on their way home, Janet leaned against Daniel's chest and fell asleep.

After they got out of the car, Daniel carried Janet to his bedroom on the second floor. Janet lay in bed and slowly opened her eyes. She looked at Daniel, smiled, and said, "Hi, Daniel!"

"Dear, call me 'husband'!" Daniel was taking off his coat.

He felt a sharp pain in his arm. The wound must have been opened as he carried Janet up. But he just ignored the pain.

Like a child, Janet happily kept on calling him, "Husband... Husband..."

"That's so nice to hear, my wife!"

After he took off his coat, Janet froze at the blood on his arm.

She immediately jumped up from the bed and held Daniel's arm, asking, "Daniel, what happened to your arm?"

But she felt dizzy, so she was unable to stand steadily. After a little while, she lost her balance and fell into Daniel's arms.

"I'm fine. You lie down first!" Daniel felt a little embarrassed and put her in the bed.

"I don't think so! I have to call Sven!"

Sven was also very intoxicated, so he won't be able to come.

Daniel pressed her on the bed and said, "I'm fine. Go sleep!"

He thought it would get better after he dressed his wound later.

Although he had been with her for a long time, it was the first time that he had seen her get this drunk.

Several years ago, Janet got drunk so easily, even if she just drank a little. Also, she fell asleep fast every time she got drunk.

Several years later, Janet had a higher alcohol tolerance...

He didn't want to see her sober after drinking a lot of wine. He hoped that from now on, after drinking wine, she would get drunk and act crazy like normal people. "Something's wrong! There must be something wrong with your arm! It's bleeding!" Janet managed to sit up on the bed.

With her red face, she looked up at Daniel.

Daniel got on the bed, turned over, pressed on her body and said, "If you don't want to sleep, we can do something else!"

"Okay! I'm happy today. We can do whatever you like, " Janet giggled.

Daniel laughed and lowered his head to kiss her red lips.

They quickly indulged in their romantic moment.

At about one o'clock in the morning, Janet had fallen asleep. Daniel put on his bathrobe and tucked Janet in.

He then went down to the ground floor and found the first-aid kit. He applied some medicine and changed the gauze bandage on his arm to a new one.

His wound was gradually healing. He put away the first-aid kit and lit a cigarette, lost in thought.

After a while, he got back to the bedroom, took out his phone, and opened his study's door.

He called Harry, "When our wedding ceremony is over, I will go to Z Country."

He had to go to Z Country to deal with an important thing.

After a few seconds of silence, Harry looked up at the sky and said, "You know, you don't have to deal with it in person."

The Si family was well-connected, so they could ask the international police or hire assassins.

"Father, I won't be relieved if I don't do it personally. I don't want my women... not just Jane, but our daughters and my families, to live in fear. I want to personally watch them die!" They were like a time bomb. They wanted to harm Janet, but no one could make sure that Alex and his men wouldn't harm their children or their family members in the future. "You've fought with Alex the last time, and both of you got injured. If you go to Z Country, which is his turf, you will be in grave danger."

"Father! Nothing ventured, nothing gained!" Daniel took out a cigarette from his cigarette case and lit it.

Harry stayed silent and thought how his son was like him in some ways. He could understand how Daniel felt at this moment. "Where's Alex's den? Have you found out yet?"

"Not yet. We are still investigating." Hobson's villa and the Wangfeng Cliff's cave were just shams.

It was getting late, but Daniel and Harry kept on talking about how best to approach the plan.

All Daniel wanted was to protect Janet forever.

Daniel and Harry didn't argue with each other anymore. There were both finally on the same page.

Before they hung up, Harry asked, "Did you give your brother all the shares of the companies in the USA, A Country, and Z Country?"

"Yes. And the shares of the company in D City."

"Do you want to develop the business into a family business?" Now that Daniel was the CEO of the company, Harry didn't care about what he did. He just casually asked him. "I plan to do so!" Daniel wanted to spend more time with his wife and children in the future.

Harry humorously said, "Your uncle won't let you off!"

Jordan wanted Colin to join the army with him. Even if he had tried every way to persuade him, Colin didn't listen.

He made Jordan so mad.

"Maybe Levi is more obedient than Colin!" said Daniel. Levi was three years younger than Colin. He stayed in the armed forces with Jordan and acted as a military officer. Harry smiled and said, "He was also not that good. Anyway, it's up to you. It's okay as long as you don't give the SL Group to those who are good for nothing." Harry trusted his son. He was in late middle age and couldn't help but exhort Daniel to be cautious.

"Don't worry. You're getting on in years and you don't have to worry about it. You should go to bed now!" Daniel opened his study's window to let the smoke out of the room. He hung up the phone and put it back in his pocket. He was about to leave the study and go back to the bedroom to cuddle Janet to sleep.

The moment he turned around, he saw a figure pass by the villa.

When he came to the study earlier, he didn't turn on the light, so it was dark inside the room. ☐☐
