After Being Cheating

Chapter 65 How is It That I Run Into Your Brother Everywhere I Go

Janet was in the cloakroom, choosing what clothes she should wear, and when she heard Sally's

words, she stopped for a moment and thought, 'Don't ever love Daniel?

But I... I'm already heart-broken.'

"We'll talk about it later when we meet, I'm changing my clothes, " said Janet.

She chose to wear a sky-blue short coat and a pair of casual trousers, with a pair of white sneakers.

She then went out.

The two girls were really happy to see each other. First they went to have a meal together, then they

went shopping for clothes in a store in the shopping mall.

"I haven't bought any new clothes after my coming back from America, so I really don't know what to

wear nowadays." Janet was seriously browsing for clothes in the shop.

She wanted to choose that casual type of clothes at first, but after taking into consideration her age,

which was nearing 23 years old, she was, after all, a grown-up. So, she changed her options and tried

on some other, mature dresses.

"Neither have I. I've been pestered on and on by your brother these last couple of days. Though I ran

away last time, your brother still found me and dragged me back into all his screw-ups, " complained

Sally. Sally felt really miserable, and she couldn't understand why the heroines in the novels she read

could always run away for some years without being found by the heroes. So had her mother and

sworn mother. She had just run away for just a couple of days, but so easily brought back by Jerry.

Janet tittered, "Sally, you mean that you really don't like my brother?" Janet could feel that Sally

actually loved her brother very much.

Sally shook her head, and said, "I don't know how to explain it. So, what about you? Do you love my

brother?"

While the two girls were discussing their concerns, a woman, holding on to a man's arm, then entered

the shop.

Janet was facing the opposite side of the door when the salesman greeted the two new customers, so

Janet didn't notice them, and continued answering Sally, "No! I'm not capable enough of loving Daniel."

"What do you mean that you're not capable enough?" asked Sally. Sally curiously looked at Janet, who

seemed to be more and more disheartened.

"How should I say it... anyway, I won't meet with him anymore. And he also doesn't love me, and it

would be also to his linking not to meet me either. And you can tell your father and mother to stop trying

to hook us up. Sally, I've really given up."

Though Janet had little or no experience with relationships, she still understood that it was not good for

either of them if they met and got together. And she definitely didn't want to lower her self-esteem to

love Daniel.

Kate was staring at Daniel, who had no obvious facial expressions, and now seemed to be

understanding why he suddenly wanted to buy her clothes all of a sudden.

He pushed her away and instructed her to choose any clothes she wanted. He then went on carefully

listening to two girls' conversation with his hands tucked deep inside his pockets.

Hearing that Janet was about to give up on Daniel, Sally hastily came nearer.

She was so anxious that she even didn't notice her brother standing not that far away from them.

"Jane, my mother has explicitly told me that you are the only daughter-in-law for her in the world. You

can't give up so easily!" Sally persuaded her.

Janet took a look at the clothes she choose, and then felt something like a cold aura emanating from

somewhere or someone near them. But she didn't think too much about it, and said, "Sally, you know,

it's not good for us to have an averse relationship. There are so many men in the world treating me so

well; why do I have to go around for a man who doesn't even love me not even a bit?"

'Indeed! Quite a few men are fond of me, so why I must cling to Daniel? Since he doesn't like me after

all, I have no need to make myself unhappy, ' thought Janet.

"Who told you that my brother doesn't love you? I think that my brother actually..."

"Sally!" An ice-cold sounding voice came from behind, which sent shivers down the two girls' spines.

'Oh, shit! How long had Daniel been standing there?' wondered Janet. 'How much of their

conversations had he actually heard?'

Janet immediately tried to remember what she absentmindedly had been talking about a few moments

ago. But she couldn't think of anything else except her talk about the 'averse relationship'...

As she turned around, she saw that Daniel was standing not that far behind them. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

And also, close behind him, Kate was browsing for clothes.

Sally greeted Daniel with a smile on her face, "Brother, you're here, too."

Then, before Daniel could utter anything in reply, she quickly dragged Janet into one of the changing

rooms.

In there, the two girls whispered to each other while they were trying on their clothes, "Why is your

brother here too?" 'What are the odds of me meeting with Daniel in a lady's clothes store? Such bad

luck!' thought Janet.

"I have no idea about it! This must be the reason why Kate kept badgering my brother to come here!"

said Sally. Sally had forgotten all about her conversation with Janet over the phone in the SL group

earlier today, in which she had mentioned about what they were going to do in the evening.

Janet sighed, changed into a new dress, and said, "How is it that I can meet with your brother all the

time? I swear, where I am, Daniel is."

It really made Janet feel odd that she could stumble into Daniel a couple of times in just only one day!

"All the time? Are you sure? Besides meeting him in the SL group, I haven't stumbled into him once;

until now."

They walked out of the changing room together and then stood in front of the mirror, still whispering to

one another.

"If you'll come back to the mansion, you'll see him everyday!" Janet said. Because Jerry's apartment

was so close to his company, the couple lived there and seldom came back to the mansion.

Sally thought for a moment and then remembered that her brother's mansion was No. 9, and that this

was maybe the reason that always met with one another.

Then she looked at Janet in the mirror, and excitedly said, "Janet, I really love shopping for clothes with

you! Look, you look so pretty in any of these clothes; I, can only serve as your contrast!"

Janet was dressed in an orange dress with a falbala, and Sally was wearing a pair of grey trousers.

They obviously differed from each other in style.

"How many times have you ever seen me dressed like this?" asked Janet. She thought that she should

change her clothing's style.

"Right, maybe I should have a try and change my style, too."

"Yeah." Then the two girls returned to the same changing room again.

On the sofa, Kate was holding on to Daniel's arm, and said, "Daniel, I don't like the clothes in this store,

let's go and check another one." The clothes in the shop seemed to be childish to Kate, and indeed

they really weren't suited to her overall style.

"OK, just wait for Sally." said Daniel, as he was reading some of the magazines on the table.

Five minutes later, he spoke to the sales clerk, "Pack this one, this one, and that one... M size, and

send them to this address." Daniel took out a name card and handed it to the clerk.

"I see, sir, please wait a moment."

Kate looked at the clothes Daniel had chosen, she saw that they weren't for her, and then asked,

"Daniel, these clothes are..."

"Sally's."

Daniel finished her sentence with a name.

However, she would later see all of these clothes dressed on Janet...

These were the clothes which Janet had tried on in that store, on that day, and which were all sent to

Janet's mansion later that evening.

Sally and Janet held each other's arms and then walked out of the store.

And Kate was furiously holding Daniel's arm, whose hands were carrying some packages, while they

were walking behind Sally and Janet.

In Janet's mind, what Daniel was doing now was just trying to show off their love everywhere he had

the chance to.

Outside the shopping mall, Daniel stopped Sally, and said, "I'll call Jerry and ask him to drive you

back."

"No, brother, I'm going with Jane!" Sally held tightly on to Jane's arm.

Daniel threw her a brief cold glance and then took out his phone, and said, "I'm very busy. I don't want

to waste any more time talking with you here."
