After Being Cheating novel Chapter 167

"No one is more pitiful than I am! Whenever I'm dating my girlfriend, she's thinking of another guy." Daniel said this in a gentle, but completely complaining tone.

'It certainly isn't appropriate to mention of another guy in front of Daniel, ' thought Janet. She felt a little awkward, but then she held Daniel's hand on the table, and giggled, "Forget about him! Let's have our dinner."

He took his hand out of hers and then held it. Thoughtfully, he opened his mouth, and said, "Jane, something is missing on your finger."

She was confused and looked at her hand. 'Is he referring to my manicure?'

"I removed my nail polish a few days ago, but I plan to..."

Janet then suddenly stopped speaking. She was too stunned to say another word more when she saw Daniel taking out of his pocket a small black suede box, and from it a ring with a pink rose stone in it.

...

Daniel placed the ring on her finger, and just like that, a pink rose diamond, Janet's favorite color, appeared on her hand.

"You... I... You... It's..." Janet looked at the ring and was trying to speak out some words but she couldn't utter a whole sentence.

'Is Daniel proposing to me? For the second time?'

"Janet, from now on you are mine." Daniel didn't let go of her hand, and his eyes suddenly turned red when he looked at her.

He lifted her hand and kissed it, and said, "Don't turn me down again."

It was his mistake that the first marriage proposal had failed. It was not romantic and formal enough.

He hadn't prepared in advance for this proposal either. He initially had wanted to propose to her on her birthday. But he lacked the patience to wait any longer, because the feelings between them had ripened deeper and deeper over the course of the last few days.

Daniel, who had been always calm and patient, was now eager and restless, and couldn't wait any longer to have her.

Janet took a deep breath. She stopped looking at the ring, and instead looked at the man sitting opposite to her. He was serious, handsome, and she soon became totally lost, immersed completely in his charm.

She lowered her voice, and deliberately complained to him, "I thought that we've agreed to give me three months to consider the whole thing. Have you forgotten already?"

His big hand held her small one. He said, "Jane, I can only agree that we have our wedding three months from now. This is my final concession on the matter."

Janet was surprised and happy at his childish eagerness. She raised his hand and kissed it to show her feelings.

Daniel smiled, and asked, "Jane, please tell me."

"What should I tell you?" She was so nervous that she withdrew her hand and, in an attempt to reduce the overwhelming stress that fell upon her, took a swig of red wine out of the glass.

"Dear, please tell me if it's a yes or no." He held her hand to stop her from chugging the whole glass.

The sudden surprise left Janet dazed and confused. She lowered her head slightly to the side to hide her red face. She fondled the diamond ring on her finger, and said in a low voice, "I've already kissed you."

The kiss had shown that she had agreed to marry him, but he still insisted that she say yes. What a rascal!

The waiter began serving their food, and Daniel decided to slow down for the time being. It didn't matter that much saying yes right now, and he thought that he would hear her say it later in the night anyway.

Daniel put the fried egg with caviar and avocado on Janet's dish along with some sliced foie gras and all the truffles.

"What about you? What will you have?" She looked curiously at the dishes he put in front of her.

"Eat first, until you're full."

...

Was Daniel going to go bankrupt? He had nothing for himself.

"You should eat, too. I'll pay for the bill." Janet then put some food on his dish.

Daniel was confused, "Why do you want to pay the bill?"

"Uh, because your company is not doing too well lately?" Janet had asked cautiously. After all, he had to pay several millions to compensate for the family of the dead just a few days ago.
