Michelle Si was unhappy with her mother picking up Kerr Si. She curled her lips and groaned, "Mommy, Kerr has his own mommy. Why are you holding him?"
Ella Bo teased her with a smile, and said, "You little jealous girl."
Nearly all the people burst out laughing, and Sally Si fed Michelle cherry pulp.
Janet Shao looked at her daughter, and asked her, "Didn't your auntie hug you?"
Michelle nodded in agreement, smacked her lips after swallowing the cherry, and replied, "Yes, she did."
"Well, we're even now. Auntie hugged you, and it's only fair for me to hug Kerr too." Janet sat on the couch, placing Kerr on her lap.
Nicole Si stretched her arms out and invited Michelle, "Come here! Auntie Nicole will hug you."
Michelle smiled and ran to Nicole, who also placed her on her legs.
Unhappy because she was ignored, Melissa Shao pouted, and murmured with a pitiful voice, "No one is hugging me..."
Ella beckoned her over to her, and said, "Come here; Grandma Ella will hug you!"
Melissa, while shaking her head, explained to her, "No, Grandma, I want Auntie Sally. She's going to have a baby, and I want to touch her tummy!"
Sally, who was feasting on the bowl of cherries, wiped her hands with some wet wipes, and said, "Come here, little girl, of course Auntie Sally will hug you."
Melissa quickly ran to Sally and sat on her legs, enjoying the cherries that she fed to her.
Their conversation ended when the servants served their lunch.
They then seated themselves at the dining table, and because of the three kids present, it was quite a noisy lunch.
When Nicole left, Janet told her multiple times to hide the secret from Daniel.
'If Daniel knew that I gave birth to twin girls, he would stop me from seeing both of the children,' she thought.
"Don't worry, Jane, I won't tell him." Although she reminded her for almost one hundred times, Nicole nodded and promised her each time.
'It's better for them to figure out their misunderstandings by themselves,' she thought.
Sally left with Kerr, and in the evening, Janet answered a call from Sven Si.
"Sven."
Janet was looking at the best store renting info on the Internet. She would've liked her previous cake store, but the owner didn't want to sell it to her, and Jane had to continue surfing the webpages.
"Jane, we've made plans to go climbing. You'd better also make arrangements in advance, if you want to come with us." Sven wouldn't give Janet the chance to say no, because Lola had arranged this activity for them to get Janet and Daniel back together.
If either Janet or Daniel refused to go, the trip would be canceled.
"Hum? Who's going?" Janet was surprised by the plan.
"Nicole, Sally, Daniel, Selina and her brother, Angela, Shelly and her brother, Jerry and you." All would go except for the six-year-old John Shao.
Perplexed, Janet asked, "But Selina and Cole are abroad, aren't they?"
"The May Day is coming, so they've returned. Selina arrived home yesterday, and Cole will arrive tomorrow." Since they were seldom in C Country at the same time, none should be absent.
Sven had also put off his business travels for two days, so that Jane and Daniel had another chance to meet and make up with each other.
Jerry Shao had also postponed two important lawsuits.
Daniel was as busy as a bee. When Sven got to Daniel's company, he found Daniel drunk after a copious business dinner.
Daniel refused the climbing plan without any sort of hesitation, and said that there would be an important negotiation happening the day after tomorrow.
Sven complained, "If you don't attend, who will accompany Jane then? Well, anyway, if you're saying that you can't make it, I'll invite instead her new friend, Cas… I forgot his name."
Daniel thought to himself, 'What do you mean her new friend?' and then kicked Sven in the shins.
Sven slapped his calves. It didn't hurt so much, and he continued his chattering. "Oh, I remember now! I've met him once before, his name is Caspar Qiao and…"
