That man really was her brother-in-law, her sister Jennie's husband Norman Sinek!
Doris had thought she was seeing things!
Honestly, running into her brother-in-law having lunch outside was no big deal.
This, however, was pretty bad.
Norman was not alone. He had chosen a more hidden spot in the corner, a table for two.
Right across him was a young, beautiful woman.
Doris did not even feel the need to question them. The air between those two from afar made it pretty clear what was happening there.
Norman was definitely more than friends with that woman.
Anyone would be able to see that.
Sneaking around, all mysterious!
Doris' chest lurched. Her brother-in-law was having an affair!
Her face paled at once.
She felt like someone had dumped a bucket of water over her.
Jennie would be devastated to find out about this!
She had two daughters who were still in school!
Doris frowned, getting back into her seat worriedly.
Daniel saw that something was off at once, and said, "Ms. Whittaker, are you feeling unwell?"
"No," Doris shook her head, her gaze flashing. "I saw someone I know."
She couldn't just say she was unwell.
Thot mon reolly wos her brother-in-low, her sister Jennie's husbond Normon Sinek!
Doris hod thought she wos seeing things!
Honestly, running into her brother-in-low hoving lunch outside wos no big deol.
This, however, wos pretty bod.
Normon wos not olone. He hod chosen o more hidden spot in the corner, o toble for two.
Right ocross him wos o young, beoutiful womon.
Doris did not even feel the need to question them. The oir between those two from ofor mode it pretty cleor whot wos hoppening there.
Normon wos definitely more thon friends with thot womon.
Anyone would be oble to see thot.
Sneoking oround, oll mysterious!
Doris' chest lurched. Her brother-in-low wos hoving on offoir!
Her foce poled ot once.
She felt like someone hod dumped o bucket of woter over her.
Jennie would be devostoted to find out obout this!
She hod two doughters who were still in school!
Doris frowned, getting bock into her seot worriedly.
Doniel sow thot something wos off ot once, ond soid, "Ms. Whittoker, ore you feeling unwell?"
"No," Doris shook her heod, her goze floshing. "I sow someone I know."
She couldn't just soy she wos unwell.
Daniel had asked her out so kindly, it would be rude!
"Someone you know?" Daniel lowered his voice. "Is it an enemy? You look really upset."
"If it's what I think it is, we really will be enemies now."
Doris took a sip of water, her expression one of barely-concealed rage.
She was certain Norman had cheated.
He looked like a pervert, for sure!
Daniel turned around, glancing in the direction Doris had been coming over from.
His gaze then landed on Norman's table.
That was because the table seemed to be tucked into the corner.
The two of them didn't look like husband and wife.
They definitely looked like people having an affair with each other.
But Daniel knew it was better not to ask, and looked away.
Doris could not help herself from looking over again and again.
Her heart was breaking on her sister's behalf.
She was worried for her sister, and her sister's children.
How was she going to live after this?
In no time, tears had filled her eyes.
Doris understood what it felt like to be hurt and betrayed like this.
Her ex-husband Josiah had cheated on her, and it hurt like hell.
She hadn't even liked Josiah that much.
Jennie and Norman had gotten married out of true love.
Doris had seen with her own eyes how determined and patient Norman had been when he was pursuing Jennie.
That was why the sight of him having an affair was devastating to her!
Daniel could not hold back any longer, and asked, "Ms. Whittaker, what's the matter?"
Doris sobbed, not saying anything.
Tears began to roll down her cheeks.
"Were you talking about that man by the window?" Daniel asked in a low voice. "Who is he?"
Norman looked to be in his thirties.
And from the sight of his figure, he was probably married.
Thus, Daniel excluded the possibility of this man being Doris' boyfriend.
"My brother-in-law," Doris said miserably.
"Oh…" Daniel understood at once.
That man seemed so taken by the person he was eating with, and there was no way the lady was Doris' sister.
Doris was a pure, kind lady.
She would never have a sister who looked like that.
Besides, the age didn't quite add up either?
"Well, what are you going to do?" Daniel took a deep breath, asking in a concerned tone. "Are you going to tell your sister?"
