'Is that mother*?' wondered Janet. She looked carefully at her, and found that the woman was, indeed, Lola!
"Mother*!" shouted Janet. She happily ran downstairs to the dining room.
When she heard Janet, Lola was also very happy. While seeing Janet run to her, Lola stretched out her arms to wrap them around Janet in a warm hug.
"Jane, tell me, aren't you surprised?" asked Lola.
"Um. I'm really surprised, and also glad to see you!" replied Janet. They hugged each other tightly.
After they finished greeting each other, Janet asked, "Didn't father* come with you?" She was confused, because Harry was always with Lola, wherever he went.
"Jane!" There was a slightly solemn voice coming from the living room, and Janet grinned and walked towards it.
She saw Harry sitting on the sofa, and said, "Father*!" After Janet greeted Harry, she sat beside him on the sofa.
"Um, Jane, does Daniel still bully you these days?" asked Harry. He put down the newspaper he was reading and looked at Janet with affection drawn all over his face.
"No. He is really nice to me now!" Janet immediately replied to Harry in a firm tone.
Her father was as serious as Daniel was but, of course, like father, like son!
"Well, that's great. If Daniel ever bullies you again, you can tell Lola and she will help you punish him, " said Harry. Lola then came out of the dining room, and walked towards them and sat down beside Jane on the sofa.
Janet smiled sweet at her and held Lola's arms. "Sure! Mother*, have you dealt with everything back at Mando Bay?" she said.
"Um, yes, I've done everything. Jane, listen to me! You're the only daughter-in-law in my heart, and you should marry Daniel as soon as possible. Please do this so I can feel finally relieved!" said Lola. She patted Janet on the back of her hand, and thought that if Daniel and Janet somehow didn't get married, she would never feel relieved ever again.
Janet, who was a little shy, lowered her head, and said, "That's fine with me. If Daniel and my mother and father reach an agreement, I will marry him."
After she had come to America, Janet only cared about Daniel. She didn't want to get married to him before, but now she was actually looking forward to marry Daniel.
"Daniel has promised me that after Nicole and Sven's wedding is over, he will discuss about your marriage with us. Jane, you should try your best to give birth to babies, so that I can have grandchildren to keep me company when I'm old!" said Lola. The Si family carried the twin gene, so Jane was likely to be pregnant with twins as well.
Their topic of discussion was suddenly changed to giving birth to children, which stunned Janet for a while. "Where's John?" She asked looking a little shy, and silly.
"He was here just a moment ago. After he played for a while, he went to the back garden again, and is playing there now. I've asked the servant to ask him to have lunch with us, " replied Lola. She thought that Ella was so brave that she had bore Samuel another son at her age.
Before the chef had prepared lunch for them, Daniel had also came back home from his company.
During lunch, the vibe around them was really nice because both Jane and John were there.
When Lola looked at Daniel, who was personally helping Jane shell the crabs, she sighed when she realized how time flies. She remembered that Harry had also helped her and Nicole shell the crabs before!
In the afternoon, Harry and Daniel went to the company, while Lola took Jane and John to the shopping mall.
When they were buying a silk scarf, Lola and Janet had a little argument.
"Mother*, you've brought me a lot of nice stuff, but I've never had the chance to repay you for your kindness. Give me a chance to buy you this scarf this one time!" said Janet. She put Lola's credit card back into her bag.
But Lola took it out again, and said, "You're still young, Jane. You can buy me a scarf after you gain some profit from your shop's business."
"Mother*, my shop has already made some profit and I've also saved a lot of money!" While uttering these words, Janet felt pleased, and pushed Lola's card back in her bag.
