Sven said in a proud voice, "Why did you ask her to keep her distance from me? Jane and I are childhood friends. Jane, come here! Let me hug you!"
'How dare you flirt with my wife in front of me!' thought Daniel angrily. Instantly, his face darkened.
Sven stood in the room with his back against the door, while Daniel was facing the doorway. When he saw a woman suddenly show up there, Daniel put on a cunning smile and said, "Sven, childhood playmates... Wow, you guys indeed have a good relationship!"
"Of course! We have known each other for decades and grew up together ever since we were babies. Our relationship is rock solid. My mother even wanted me to marry Jane at some point!" It was true, but their friendship hadn't developed romantically.
Maybe because they were too familiar with each other, having known each other since they were kids.
They only treated each other as siblings, not as a boyfriend or girlfriend.
"Then, why didn't you marry Jane?" asked Daniel. Janet was confused by Daniel's words and wondered where he was going with this.
Sven wasn't aware that he had fallen into Daniel's trap. He still continued his nonsense and complained, "I wanted to marry Jane, but Jane had fallen in love with you, so what can I do? Huh!"
Finishing his words, Sven covered his chest to show his remorse in an exaggerated way.
"What if I wasn't in the picture?" Devoid of any emotion on his face, Daniel looked at this pretentious actor. ...
Sven answered, "If it weren't for you, I would've gotten married with Jane, this good girl..."
When Janet turned around to glare at Sven, she happened to notice the woman standing at the doorway. Instantly, Janet understood what Daniel was doing. She covered her mouth and called out, "Nicole..."
Sven froze. 'Oh, shit!'
Sven finally realized that he was trapped by Daniel!
"Daniel, you asshole!" Sven was so furious that his hands trembled. He then hastily went up to his wife and coaxed, "Nicole..."
Pouting, Nicole stared at Sven, turned around, and left the study room. Sven instantly followed her and, wearing an aggrieved look, he called out, "Nicole, my dear..."
With her back against Sven, Nicole tried to control her laughter.
Nicole wasn't stupid; she knew that they were kidding and also knew quite well Sven's brotherly feelings toward Jane.
But still, hearing these words from Sven's mouth made her unhappy. And if she was unhappy, she wouldn't let Sven be happy either...
In the study room
Janet was still laughing. Daniel then pulled her over, made her sit on his legs, and said, "Jane, now it's time for me to get even with you!"
Janet felt speechless and confronted him, "For what? What did I do?"
"You've done me wrong so many times!" replied Daniel.
...
Annoyed, Janet pinched his face and snapped, "You mean guy! You've secretly registered our marriage certificate. I didn't take my revenge on you."
"What I have done is all for our own good, but what about you? You've kept the twins from me, and what's more, you kissed Caspar! If I had come a minute later, would I have seen you sleep with him?"
Daniel's face became darker as he spoke. He should've been there earlier, so that Caspar wouldn't have had the chance to kiss Janet.
Janet moved his hand away from her waist and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? I owe Caspar a lot. And what's more, yesterday, if it were not for Caspar, I would've been raped by Hobson. Did you know that? How can you treat my lifesaver this way?"
