After Being Cheating novel Chapter 289

Lola might be right about Daniel.

Janet had seen how Daniel closed deals with his business partners several times. He was decisive and confident. He knew exactly what he was doing.

"Okay, Mother*. I'll have a try for the twins' sake, " said Janet in a low voice. Janet was a bit abashed when she said that.

Lola was very pleased with what Janet had said, so she held Janet's hand and said, "That's right. Harry and I want you to be our daughter-in-law. We want nobody else but you. If Daniel ever hurts your feelings again, let us know, and we will punish him. You can count on us."

...

'They always support me. How could they do that to their son?" wondered Janet.

One of Lola's wealthy friends had a birthday party this evening. Lola was supposed to leave early for the party, but then she had a better idea. Janet could go with her.

"Jane, Carol Yi is hosting a birthday party this evening. Can you please come with me?" asked Lola.

This evening, she wanted to introduce Janet to everyone as her daughter-in-law.

Janet was about to turn her down, but Lola was looking at her with a pair of earnest eyes, so she wiped her mouth and replied, "Okay, Mother*."

Harry stopped them just after Janet agreed and said, "Lola, I don't think Jane should go to the party."

Carol was Sabina's mother, and Sabina was Daniel's ex-girlfriend. Wherever there were women, there was trouble.

Lola did not remember that Sabina was Carol's daughter, so she waved her hand at Harry and said, "Why shouldn't she? Don't worry about us. Mind your own business."

Lola and Harry were so protective toward Janet that even Sally felt a little jealous. She stared at Lola and said, "Mom, I am your own daughter! You always favored Janet. What about me? Ella treats me better than you do."

And Ella was only her mother-in-law.

Lola found Sally adorable, but she did not deny it. Instead, she pinched Sally's chubby cheek and said with a smile, "You're pregnant. You should stay at home and keep away from the crowd."

"Mom, " Sally protested. She then looked at Ella and said, "Ella, am I really her own daughter?" She needed comfort.

Ella giggled, while she ladled up a bowl of fish soup for Sally. "Don't feel upset. I'll treat you like my own daughter. If she won't bring you to the party this evening, I'll take you out next time, " Ella said with a smile.

Ella and Sally had a good relationship with each other. They did not have any conflicts. To Sally, Ella was like her biological mother.

"Good! I'll have Jane, and you can have Sally, " said Lola jokingly. Lola even held Janet's arm for a dramatic effect.

Janet could not help but laugh. "Sally, we have the same problem. My own mother treats you better than she treats me. Look! She didn't even give me any soup, " Janet complained.

"Hahaha... Jane, let me get you some, " said Lola. Lola picked up Janet's bowl and was about to get some for her.

But Janet stopped her right away and said, "No no no... It's okay, Mother*. I am really full."

"Okay then, " replied Lola.

The atmosphere in the living room was cozy and warm, together with all the jokes and laughter. The adults had casual conversations, while the twins played with each other.

In the late afternoon, after Janet saw Harry and Lola out of her house, she went back to the mansion and kept the twins company.

On Harry and Lola's way home, Harry could not help but ask, "Lola, didn't you know that Sabina is Carol's daughter?"

"Huh?" Lola was taken aback by Harry's question. She then thought carefully and realized that Harry was right...
