Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife

Seemingly knowing what Mason was going to do, Janet placed her index finger on his lips. “Young Master Moss, please behave yourself.”

Mason was slightly shocked by Janet’s quick reflex so he chuckled and stopped his actions.

Then, he gently lifted her chin with his fair, slender finger and whispered, “I really like you.”

When Janet got home, what Mason said in the car still echoed in her mind. Burying her head in the blanket, she tossed the pillow onto the floor.

She had never liked anything that could disturb her mind, including feelings. She was too stubborn, and in her world, there were only people who she could trust or couldn’t trust, and people who she could rely on or couldn’t. There was no in between.

Forget it. I should just let it be.

Things that ought to come would arrive and those that shouldn’t come would leave as well.

In the blink of an eye, it was halfway through the school term. Ever since Emily made a fool of herself, she didn’t dare to make things difficult for Janet anymore.

Since then, Emily had been hanging out with Madelaine, who was similarly in abjection, and both of them would curse Janet every day.

Today, the class teacher walked into the lecture hall as usual and announced, “There’s a sports competition next week, which is followed by the end-of-semester exam. Then, it’ll soon be the first summer vacation of 12th grade. In the second semester, you’ll be sitting the college entrance exam. Therefore, I hope that all of you can participate in this sports competition and win glory for our class.”

Despite the class teacher’s passionate speech, the students looked contemptuous and unmoved.

The class teacher then looked at Emily seriously. “This is the last sports competition so I hope that you can take charge of the nomination list, Emily. I’m counting on you and I hope that we’ll not come last.”

Upon hearing that, Emily’s eyes shone brightly. Lately, she had been ostracized by her classmates so she was surprised when the class teacher offered her an opportunity to represent the class.

How touching!

So, she nodded firmly. “Mr. Smith, I’ll definitely make you proud!”

Meanwhile, Gordon held Abby back to ask, “Why does everyone look disgusted?”

Covering her mouth, Abby replied softly, “Although our class excels in academics, we’ve always come last in every year’s sports competition. Therefore, the other classes’ students and teachers always joke about us. We’ve even gotten used to that.”

“I see!”

Gordon lay down on the table again. Since Janet didn’t seem interested, he wasn’t interested either.

Upon hearing the conversation between Abby and Gordon, Janet couldn’t help but giggle. Every year, the sports competition would be held during summer. They would usually be sunburned and it was only natural that they weren’t passionate to compete.

Besides, the students in Class A were all daughters and sons from wealthy families so all of them were delicate and feeble.

However, something happened out of Janet’s expectation.

In the afternoon, Madelaine walked over and gave her a glance while saying smugly, “Janet, Emily signed you up for the sports competition. You will be participating in the high jump, long jump and 2000 meters long-distance run event in the female category.”

Raising her eyes, Janet coldly looked at Madelaine and asked, “Who told her that I’m signing up?”

Emily didn’t just sign her up without her consent, but she even signed her up for three events. She must not have the guts to confront her head-on so she asked Madelaine, who was ignorant, to convey that message.

Madelaine sneered, “Aren’t you an all-rounder? You’re even an expert in fighting, where you alone can fight against ten opponents. Now that you need to win glory for the class, why are you behaving like a coward and dare not compete?”

Madelaine’s words caused a discussion to start in the class.

“Even if Janet is an expert, how could she cope with participating in three events?”

With a snort, Madelaine replied in disdain, “Why not? She even fought off the supporters of the campus belle alone back then!”

Puffing out her cheeks, Abby glared unhappily at Madelaine. “It’s fine that you’ve always gone against Janet in the usual days but this isn’t the time to fool around. What if something happens to her? Can you bear the responsibility?”

“Mind your own business, will you? No one signed up for these events so Janet is the best choice,” Madelaine rebutted Abby.
