"Is it a DQ facial mask?" There was a smile on Ella's face again. It was because of her daughter, who always understood her and always knew that she loved these kind of gifts.
Janet nodded and assured Ella: "This is the limited edition that I've asked Bill to manage and get a hold on! Mom, you see, I'm so good to you! I even didn't buy anything for Samuel. Hee hee." Janet held her mom's arm gently, having her own plan in mind.
Her mother was in charge of the whole financial power in their family. And so she knew that she had to tighten her belt later in life if she ever offended her mother.
Ella loved what her daughter had brought for her and kissed her daughter's face. Suddenly, she seemed to be thinking of something.
Putting the mask aside, she pulled Janet to sit next to her on her big bed, which was cute and colored in pink.
"Jane, what is your relationship with Daniel now?"
Janet felt a little puzzled as Ella suddenly mentioned Daniel. At the thought of the fact that he got her drunk last night, Janet stood from the bed and told Ella with all seriousness in her face: "Mom, I have nothing to do with him. He's HIM, I'm ME. I really have no relationship with him at all!"
Ella was puzzled and then blurted: "But why did Daniel kiss you last night?"
What?! While she was touching her red lips, Janet asked her mother: "Mom, what did you say just now?"
Seeing that Janet didn't know this, Ella coughed a few times: "Nothing. Since you have no relationship to Daniel, you'd better stay away from him from now on. Now go and get washed for lunch."
With this, Ella walked out towards her bedroom door.
However, she was stopped by Janet's arm: "Mom, please don't go."
"What are you doing?"
Janet looked at her mother seriously and spoke stunned: "You just said... Last night, Daniel... Kissed me?" When thinking of it, Janet felt she was angry and distressed at the same time.
If Daniel had did indeed kissed her, like her mother just told her, it was a true loss for her, since this was her first kiss...
Ella nodded helplessly: "When did you meet Daniel..."
However, Janet had now entered the bathroom and began to get washed just before Ella finished uttering her words.
This time, she spent only five minutes getting washed, while it usually took her more than ten minutes.
Samuel was holding John in his arms downstairs and was about to feed him. At this moment, a figure dressed in pink rushed down from the stairs.
"Jane..." Samuel yelled at Janet. Could she please slow down? What if she fell down or hit against something?
Janet unexpectedly kissed Samuel's face: "Dad, I want revenge and I have to go now as time is running short. I would like to chat with you more, but when I come back tonight." Then she left with the car keys in her hand after kissing John's face.
"What revenge and on whom does she seeks it for? Who dared to bully my daughter?" With John in his arms, Samuel curiously asked his wife, who was busy in the kitchen, what was that all about.
Ella wiped her hands and told him: "Perhaps she is looking for Daniel. How about you follow her to see what happens? What if they end up fighting?" Back when they were children, they would practice Taekwondo with one another each time they met.
Ella had to change more than ten Taekwondo teachers for Jane, since she never could defeat Daniel.
Having thought of Daniel, who was calm, Samuel said: "This couldn't happen, since Daniel could not be bothered to argue with her. But if he dares to lay a hand on Jane, I will send people to mess up his office really bad."
Ella busied herself in putting the food in the dishes. She then said with a chuckle: "Your daughter is 23 years old and has graduated from college. She is not a child any more, Samuel!"
Samuel curled his lip in discontent. Jane was still a little girl in his heart.
"By the way, where is your son? We have come back and stayed home for already one night and one morning, but he hasn't shown up yet. What ever happened to him?" Samuel had just got in touch with the secretary in the firm. The secretary told him that Jerry wasn't in the firm last night and he also didn't come in this morning either.
After placing the last dish on the table, Ella realized that they had lost contact with her son for one night and one morning.
