She carefully asked, "Caspar, who... is your grandpa talking about?"
He looked at her, and gently said, "You."
...
Janet quickly shook her hands, and replied, "No, I can't. I know nothing, and I can do nothing."
She couldn't even cook a simple dish, let alone being the head of the Tianye Men!
"You really don't need to do anything. As long as you are loyal to Tianye Men, Caspar and Croft will help you to do all the things the organisation requests you." Caspar's grandfather was looking at her with curious eyes. The Tianye Bead had been missing for so many years, and Janet was the one who now had it. It was... fate.
Finally, Janet made a decision. She took off the Tianye Bead and put it beside Dillon, and said, "Since this is so important to you, I'd like to return it to its rightful owner now. I intend to give birth to baby and return to C Country. I won't stay longer than that, so I'm not suitable for succeeding to your organisations' leadership."
Then she looked at Caspar, and continued, "This Bead is just a keepsake for me. Since I've broken up with him, it doesn't matter whether I have this bead or not. Thank you for taking care of me these last couple of days, but I'll be leaving now."
Janet smiled at Caspar and nodded to Dillon. She then walked towards the door.
Dillon didn't say anything, but just gave Caspar a glance and went back to his room supported by the little girl.
Caspar understood what his grandfather meant. He took the Tianye Bead in his hands and followed Janet.
He followed her without saying a word, and when they approached the car, Caspar pulled her aside and put Tianye Bead back on her.
"No..." Janet wanted to leave, but Caspar left her no chance for refusal.
After Caspar put the bead back on her, the bodyguard opened the rear door for them, and they got inside the car.
The car drove out of Casper's family estate, and Caspar told Janet, "You will have a baby soon, and you should not live alone, for the time being, at least. I have prepared a room for you in my villa. You should wait there to give birth to your baby without any sort of distractions around you."
Janet still wanted to refuse, but Caspar pointed at her Tianye Bead, and said, "If you refuse my suggestion, then you need to go back and lead the Tianye Men!"
...
Caspar was just as domineering as Daniel. He brought her to his villa, along with all of her previous staff.
He also asked her to quit her job and gave her a bank card, saying, "This card has no payment limits, so you can buy whatever you want without any sort of hesitation."
Janet was left speechless. She looked at the black card and then looked at Caspar. She asked, "Are you going to keep me as lover?"
Caspar deeply looked at her, and replied, "If you want, why not?"
...
Janet sighed. "Can I decline?" she asked.
Should she be laughing, or crying? Daniel had only given her a bead, but because of it she was now involved with the Tianye Men...
Caspar stood up from the sofa and moved closer to her, and said, "Do you feel disturbed?"
Janet promptly nodded. She wasn't related to Caspar in any way, and she certainly felt nervous to receive such outstanding help out of nowhere.
Caspar pointed at her burgeoning womb, and asked, "Isn't their dad dead? You can marry me. Let me be their father, don't you see that everything is falling in its place?"
...
Janet was left speechless again. Never mind, she would stay there, for the time being, at least! She had decided to live there for her two babies, and after she would return back home, she could just pay Caspar a large sum of money in return for his kindness.
When she thought of this, Janet smiled at him. "You can leave now, I can take care of myself."
Caspar raised his eyebrows and thought that his offer was declined.
"Why are you so undiscriminating?" He put his hands in his pockets and looked at her with a smile on his face.
It was the first time in Caspar's life that he had fallen in love with a woman, and also a woman with another man's babies. What was worse than to be declined in such a straightforward manner?
