Daniel guessed that Janet may have not brought her phone with her, so he put his phone aside after sending her the message. He then closed his eyes to try and go to sleep.
Janet's face was flushed when she went into the room with Sally's phone in her hand. After she took back her phone, Sally saw Janet's rosy cheeks, and playfully teased her, "Jane, what did my brother say to you? Look at the broad smile on your face, you're like a pubescent girl."
Before Janet could use her hand to cover Sally's mouth, Sally had already uttered the word "pubescent".
As expected, both Melody and Ella had turned their eyes on Janet. Little Melissa even innocently asked with her childish tone, "Mommy, what is "pubescent?"
Well... Janet's face turned green in instant. She cast a sharp eye to Sally, who was tittering, and said to Melissa, "It's nothing. Children should be seen but not be heard, got it?"
"Isn't Daniel at home?" asked Ella and she roughly guessed what it was all about.
"No, he's away on business."
"Daniel is always busy, so Jane, please don't bother him if you don't have anything important to say to him, " said Melody.
Before Janet could give a reply to her, Sally couldn't wait to say, "Great-Grandma, you don't know that my brother is too anxious to let Janet bother him!"
"Nothing of the sort! Nonsense!" Janet pulled Sally's sleeve to stop her.
"Great-Grandma, I am not talking nonsense. My brother is indeed very obedient to Jane, and he always follows Jane's instructions! If Jane asks him to go west, then he would never dare to go east..."
"Sally, stop it!" Janet's face had turned as red as an apple, and she hastily covered Sally's mouth with her left hand.
Melody joyfully looked at the two girls laughing and playing with each other, and said to Janet, "Don't be too mean to Daniel! After all, you are a lady!"
"I am not!" countered Janet. She was not mean at all! More than that, she considered that she was like a sheep in front of Daniel...
"Jane, stop being so shy. You don't have to be ashamed to admit it, and anyhow, you and my brother will get married one day! There are no two ways about it"
Sally pulled down Janet's hand and availed herself of the opportunity to talk.
Janet intended to cover Sally's mouth again, but she was stopped by Ella. She said, "Jane, keep your hand off your sister-in-law, she is on recovering now!"
"..." Hearing this, Janet felt distressed, and she frowned. "But mom, I'm your daughter!"
"You will be your sworn mother Lola's daughter soon. Now, Sally is my daughter!" Ella passed the cooled soup to Sally and squinted at Janet.
Both of them were her daughters in her heart!
"Mom. I'm not married yet!" protested Janet, in an unbelievable voice.
"Sooner or later!" And Ella deliberately waved her hand to Janet, and pretended to be indifferent.
"Mom..."
Janet knew that her mother had been just kidding, but she deliberately yelled at her in an unsatisfied voice.
No one expected that little Melissa followed Janet's tone, and call out, "Mom..."
"Hahaha!" All the people in the room burst into laughter.
In the Fan's family
Carol packed all the stuff and was just about to leave, but when she saw her daughter sitting on the sofa, she asked her again, "Sabina, are you really determined to live with your father?"
"Yes, I am, " replied Sabina perfunctorily.
If she had not wanted to remain in C Country, she would have not be willing to live with her jerk father in the first place!
