"Mommy, I think I understand now." Janell Joy Carter rested comfortably on her pillow and imagined that she was in her mother's arms.
"Of course a smart person like you can understand." While she was talking, Jane Ronan exclaimed, "Your father is here. He seems to still be angry with you these days. I'll need to hang up first, and I'll call you later."
Jane hung up the call immediately after she spoke. As she heard the busy tone sound, Jane Joy pouted. She had been out for so long, yet her father didn't care about her.
If her mother went away for a day, no matter where she went, her father would definitely find her. It seemed that her father prioritized her mother more than her.
Bad Daddy!
He often said that she was their baby Janell, but he must be referring to her mother, wasn't he? She certainly did not feel precious in his eyes. Janell Joy felt a little sad.
In the future, she would not want her father anymore. She wanted Brother Lucas because he cared about her deeply.
At the thought of Brother Lucas, she remembered their kisses earlier, and Janell Joy's face turned redder. That was her first romantic kiss.
Their lips touched and they could feel each other's tongue... They were so close that they could hear each other's heartbeat, as if they were one. What should she do now?
Thinking of Brother Lucas, Janell Joy's heart was pounding as if it was going to jump out of her chest. Yes, she missed Brother Lucas a lot and her heart beat faster, so she couldn't sleep.
She was not the only one who couldn't sleep. After sending her back to the Lesley house, Brother Lucas went back to the North Palace.
He was in a much worse situation than she was in. Nathaniel was the President of the country, so his daily schedule was rigid and fixed. No matter how late he slept at night, he had to get up at six o'clock in the morning to prepare for a day's work.
He had been busy working until very late. When he could finally rest at night, he heard that Janell Joy was attending a banquet at Paul's place.
He went out to his mansion because he was worried about her. There were some accidents in Paul's mansion, and he reconciled with Janell Joy unexpectedly.
Then, he sent her home. When he returned to his home, it was almost dawn. He didn't have much time to rest. More importantly, he was very energetic.
He stood by the window of the room, looking in the direction of the Lesley house, as if he could get closer to his Little Jane. He couldn't help but to gently touch his lips. It seemed that there was still the warmth and fragrance of Janell Joy...
Today, his behavior was simply unreasonable. He had always had a strong ability to suppress his urges and control himself. Even when his mother was killed, he didn't shed a tear, yet he was out of control that night.
His original plan was to only reconcile with Janell Joy when he's gotten more capable and had a stable career. He needed to be sure that Janell Joy was safe. Of course, he never thought about kissing her too. But when she said that Dominic Cooper was her Brother Lucas…
At that moment, there was a fire in his heart. She was his Little Jane and he was her Brother Lucas. How could she mistaken him for someone else?
Therefore, he kissed her because he wanted to punish her, and he wanted to tell her that he was her Brother Lucas. He couldn't let anyone else get their hands on her.
But he didn't expect that he would be out of control in the end. He even wanted to take her home and have her stay with him forever. Then if he wanted to kiss her, he could kiss her at any time...
When he thought of Janell Joy, the corner of Nathaniel's mouth would curve up slightly. He caught himself smiling a lot at the thought of her.
When he thought of her, he was no longer the Mr. President who was high above the masses and was greatly admired by the people. He was just an ordinary man.
She reminded him that he was human. He had a girl he really liked and wanted to protect. It was a girl that he really wanted to marry from the bottom of his heart, instead of agreeing to an arranged marriage.
As a President of the country, he should be in control. However, before he took office, there was too much trouble and chaos. He couldn't even decide on his own marriage. He could only do everything according to the rules and advice.
Buzz! Buzz!
At the same time, his phone rang suddenly. At five o'clock in the morning, who would send him a message? Nathaniel could only think of one person, and that was his baby Janell.
Sure enough, Janell Joy sent a text message. He could imagine how sweet and cute she would look as she typed that message. "Brother Lucas, I tried to sleep for a long time, but I still couldn't fall asleep. All I could think about was you. Why is this so?"
This girl obviously wanted to trick him. She was smart enough to ask him in a silly tone. If he was not smart enough, he would definitely be tricked by her. However, even if he was smart enough and knew that she was playing these tricks, he was still willing to be tricked by her.
To have a person in his life who he could love whole-heartedly and play tricks with was such a blessing. So he quickly typed a line of words and replied her.
"Maybe it's too noisy at the party earlier and you met me. So you must be too excited that you couldn't sleep. You'll fall asleep soon after listening to some soothing music."
Soon, another message came in, "Brother Lucas, when I was young, you often sang children's songs and lullabies for me. If you sing it to me again, maybe I'll fall asleep."
He knew that this girl would take advantage of the situation, but he just liked her that way, so he replied "Okay."
As soon as the message was sent out, his phone rang immediately. Nathaniel wanted to answer it, but his fingers trembled with excitement and he almost hung up. He took a deep breath and laughed at himself for being so nervous around her.
Being the President of the country, he was not nervous at all. However, when he answered the phone call from her, he became so nervous. He must really cared too much about her.
"Brother Lucas, it's me. I can't fall asleep." After the call was connected, Janell Joy spoke quickly. It seemed that she was worried that he would hang up the phone.
Nathaniel felt a little pitiful for her and responded softly, "Don't worry, Janell. I promised to talk to you, so I won't hang up."
"Brother Lucas, you are the best!" Among all the men in the world, besides her father, Brother Lucas was the best.
"What song do you want to listen to?" He coaxed her patiently. He spoke to her like she was a little child. "I'd like anything that you sing."
No matter how unpleasant the song was, as long as it was sung by Brother Lucas, she would like it.
"How about a tune from Frozen, what do you think?" Brother Lucas responded sweetly as he smiled.
757
This song was a song that Janell Joy Carter loved to listen to when she was a child. He remembered that she loved this lullaby very much even though many years had passed. Hence, when she asked him to sing a song, this song popped up.
"Okay," Janell Joy replied softly. Although she was already a grown up, the choice of a children's song didn't matter, she wanted to just listen to Brother Lucas's voice.
"Alright, then you should lie down and close your eyes," Nathaniel instructed her gently, and she followed his orders.
It felt like she was still the obedient child who was willing to listen to Brother Lucas. She learnt these children's songs during the days when Brother Lucas accompanied her.
Although she had not sang them for many years, but it was still familiar when he hummed it again. He hummed softly, and Janell Joy, who was at the other end of the phone, was smiling widely.
Soon, she fell asleep happily. After humming one song, he heard a steady breathing sound from the other end of the line. Brother Lucas called her gently, "Janell?"
"Brother Lucas, I like you. I like you so much." She responded extremely softly.
It turned out that this girl was asleep and she was mumbling that she liked him in her dreams.
"Okay." He nodded as he gripped his phone a little tighter. "I know. Goodnight Janell!"
Even though he had said goodnight, he was still reluctant to hang up. He listened to her breathing until it was time to wash up and go to work.
Brother Lucas sang her a lullaby, and Janell Joy fell asleep happily. Her wide smile did not leave her face at all. She slept well. When she woke up, it was already in the afternoon. She felt like a lazy sloth.
"Janell Joy, why did you leave me behind last night?" Samantha Lesley looked at Janell Joy sadly. "You don't even know how long I went looking for you. I was so scared that I cried when I couldn't find you. If it weren't for Uncle Aaron who told me that you came back first, I wouldn't have known what to do."
"Samantha, I'm sorry!" Janell Joy gave Samantha a hug and smiled apologetically. "I had a stomach ache last night, so I came back first."
"You had a stomach ache? How're you feeling now? Do you want me to get a doctor?" Samantha became so nervous that her face turned red.
Janell Joy apologized, "Samantha, I'm fine. Don't worry, or I will feel guilty about it."
Since she still didn't know who Brother Lucas was, the reconciliation with Brother Lucas was still a strange matter. Janell Joy didn't want to tell Samantha for the time being, so she lied casually. She didn't know that she took her words seriously.
"It's good that you're alright." Samantha scratched her head and looked at Janell Joy. "Oh, by the way, Brother Dominic is here."
"Who?" Janell Joy's mind was focused on Brother Lucas. She couldn't recall Brother Lucas at first. "Brother Dominic?"
"He was with us the whole night last night?" Samantha was doubting that Janell Joy's memory was worse than hers.
"Oh, it's him." Janell Joy responded softly as she ate her strawberry puree.
While eating the strawberries, Janell Joy thought that Samantha's brother, Jason Lesley, was so considerate of her. He even knew that she liked strawberries.
Of course, Janell Joy would never have thought that these strawberries was specially requested by their Mr. President for her. Even if she was in a foreign land, he needed to make her feel like home.
"Janell Joy, Brother Dominic asked us to go out today. Do you want to go?" Samantha approached Janell Joy slowly and asked.
"Don't think I want to." Janell Joy refused immediately.
"Janell Joy, Brother Dominic seems sincere. If we don't go, he will be very disappointed." Samantha really wanted to go out.
If Janell Joy didn't go, her brother would probably not allow her to go."Samantha, what kind of logic is this? If others invite us out, does that mean that I must go so that I won't disappoint the person? What if I'm uncomfortable with the idea?" Janell Joy had never been a person who was willing to compromise a lot.
"But..." Samantha was poor at negotiation skills, so she could only look at her anxiously.
"Janell..." Dominic Cooper approached them out of nowhere.
After entering the house, there was a slight smile on Dominic's face. In particular, his voice sounded particularly intimate when he called out Janell Joy's name, as if he was Brother Lucas.
Janell Joy felt goosebumps all over her body. Other than her family and Brother Lucas, she didn't like being called this name by other people. Janell Joy knew that he was not her Brother Lucas.
At first, she didn't want to deal with him, but on second thought, this person lied to her yesterday, and the most important thing was that he knew about the relationship between Brother Lucas and her, so she couldn't let him go easily.
Why did he pretend to be her Brother Lucas? Why?
Janell Joy thought very quickly. If she wanted to know what this man's purpose was, the best way was to turn his tricks against him. She wanted to see what he was up to.
"Oh, Brother Dominic is here!" To disguise her true emotions was something Janell Joy had perfected over these few years. Therefore, the way she called Brother Dominic was very sweet.
"Yes, I'm here." Dominic nodded and sat down opposite her. "Janell, there will be a very good play at the National Theatre Hall tonight. You want to catch it together?"
Besides Brother Lucas, Janell Joy was not interested in anything else. She really wanted to turn Dominic down, but she really wanted to know what his plans were.
Were they trying to harm her? Or were they trying to harm Brother Lucas ? If they wanted to deal with her, she wouldn't care so much. But if they wanted to deal with her Brother Lucas, she would never let them off lightly Therefore, Janell Joy nodded and said with a smile, "Okay. Since you have invited me, I won't say no."
"Alright, then you should eat first. After you're done, I'll take you out for a walk. Then we'll watch the play together at night." Dominic looked at Janell Joy and he was observing her carefully.
She wasn't showing anything unusual. Last night, she must have regarded Nathaniel Cooper and him as the same person. Furthermore, Nathaniel had too many things to worry about, so he definitely did not reconcile with her. That was why their plan could continue.
"Luca... Brother Dominic, I'm not familiar with this place at all. Please take care of me in the future." Janell Joy deliberately misspoke a word to confuse Dominic.
Aaron and Dominic were fooling around with her. If it weren't for the sudden appearance of Brother Lucas, she would have fallen into their trap. Since they were playing with her… She would not be so polite with them.
Janell Joy's smile was innocent and cute, but she was already plotting ways to deal with them in her mind.
758
Coast City was the capital of Country A. It was not as well-developed as New York, but it was a very unique town. Its known for its tourism and affordable cost of living.
Janell Joy recalled reading about how high the citizens' happiness index were in this country. Janell Joy had been at Coast City for about half a month, but because of her illness, she spent an entire week laying in bed, so she had no time to explore around.
Now, she was no longer in a hurry to find Brother Lucas anymore, so she figured that she could take the time to wander around and get familiar with the city where Brother Lucas lived. She wanted to experience his life. And she had a free driver cum tour guide, Dominic Cooper, by her side. How could she not be happy?
"Brother Dominic, I'm really sorry for troubling you to drive us around." Dominic Cooper only wanted to invite Janell Joy out. However, Samantha wasn't very bright at reading signs. She tagged along their date.
The suppressed annoyance in Dominic's heart could not be expressed. After all, Samantha was Janell Joy's friend. If not for her, he might not be able to get close to Janell Joy.
"I invited you girls out today, so obviously, I'll drive and bring you girls around. If I hired a driver, we won't have much fun." He wanted to show Janell Joy what "Brother Lucas" was supposed to be.
Janell Joy sat in the back seat of the car. She didn't say anything because she felt happy and she was smiling all along. Dominic glanced at her from time to time from the rear view mirror, and he thought that this girl was happy because of him.
What he didn't know was that Janell Joy's mind was full of Brother Lucas at this moment. She was happy because she found Brother Lucas.
At this time, her pink face was a little blushed because she thought of Brother Lucas. She thought about their kiss...
Thinking of Brother Lucas, Janell Joy really wanted to call him. But she also promised Brother Lucas that she would not call him randomly.
After thinking for a while, she sent another message to Brother Lucas, "Brother Lucas, I miss you again. Do you miss me?"
After checking that there were no mistakes, Janell Joy sent the text. Then, she stared at the screen of her mobile phone, waiting for his reply anxiously. She waited and waited, until she almost fell asleep, and she finally received a reply, "Yes, go to bed early tonight."
What kind of reply was that? He didn't answer her question at all. Janell Joy pouted and immediately came up with an idea. She glanced at Dominic, who was driving in front of her. She held her phone close and asked, "Brother Lucas, can I take a picture with you?"
As she was asking him, she deliberately sat in the position that could be seen clearly through the rear view mirror, and she blinked her eyes playfully at him.
"Of course you can. Do you need me to stop and pose with you?" In Dominic's eyes, this young lady was very naive and easy to trick. As long as he used some more tricks, she would fully regard him as her Brother Lucas.
"Brother Dominic, you don't have to do that. I'll just take a picture of you like this." Janell Joy smiled sweetly, but she was thinking about something very evil.
After taking his picture, she sent a message to Brother Lucas, "Brother Lucas, Brother Dominic took the initiative to be my tour guide today, and he's taking me around the city. We will be watching a play together at night."
Yes, that would be enough. And she deliberately did not mention about Samantha. She smiled at her phone slyly and she thought to herself, "Brother Lucas, if you don't take care of me, I'll be taken away by someone else."
Sure enough, very quickly, Brother Lucas replied, "How many of you? Where are you heading to? As a girl alone at a foreign place, you must take care of your safety, you can't just go with a strange man just like that."
Brother Lucas sounded anxious, but Janell Joy was happy. She typed back fast, "Brother Lucas, don't worry. I will always be your baby Janell, bad guys can't deceive me."
Since she could text Brother Lucas along the way, Janell Joy felt that the boring journey had become fun. Nathaniel had just ended a meeting after receiving her text. He imagined her proud and cute look when she texted him and chucked, "Silly child."
Her every move and surroundings were under Brother Lucas's control. The reason why he replied to her in that manner was because he knew what she wanted to hear. Since the caring responses could make her happy, as her Brother Lucas, he should oblige.
"Mr. President, this is the outcome of the meeting earlier. We need your signature." The secretary knocked on the door and came in, handing a document to Mr. President.
Nathaniel picked up the pen and signed it before he placed a stamp, "Everyone did a good job this round. Keep up the good work."
Nathaniel's voice sounded calm, which made people feel at ease as they spoke to him. They didn't know that this was the image of a President that he deliberately put up for others. Few people actually knew what he was really like.
Aaron Paul knew the true personality of Mr. President, so he never dared to be presumptuous in front of the President. He respected and feared him.
The secretary took the document back, and Nathaniel ordered, "Secretary Hart, ask Aaron to come to my office."
"Yes, I'll do so." Secretary Hart nodded and respectfully left the office. Soon, Aaron came in. Before he could speak, Nathaniel spoke first, "Master Paul, do you have anything to say to me?"
Aaron knew what he was talking about, but he couldn't admit anything, so he pretended to be innocent and confused, "Mr. President, what do you mean?"
Nathaniel frowned and said with a disgusted look, "Your innocent face is really ugly. You should learn from my baby Janell." Her face truly looked innocent. Even if he knew it was her fault, when he looked at her face, he would feel pity for her and couldn't bear to punish her.
Just as he was talking about her, he received a new message on his personal phone. When he opened the text, he realized that she sent another photo. However, instead of a photo of someone else, she took a photo of herself.
In the photo, she made a cute expression, and she captioned, "Brother Lucas, do you think I'm cute?"
Nathaniel couldn't wait to reply to her. He didn't mind that he was in his work space, or the fact that Aaron was still waiting for his words. His long and slender fingers began typing away, "You are very cute."
Soon, he received a new text message again. When he opened the text, he saw that it was another photo of her with the caption, "Brother Lucas, am I cute? Would you like to take a bite of me?
759
Yes! He wanted to! He really, really wanted to! He couldn't take it anymore. But could he take a bite of her?
If he really did, the first person who would hate him would be her father. Janell Joy's simple words had already stirred up the waves of emotions in Nathaniel's heart. However, since Aaron Paul was still here, Nathaniel remained expressionless after seeing this text message.
He looked up at Aaron and said coldly, "From now on, you are not allowed to organize parties like last night anymore."
"Third Young Master, that's my private time. I... I don't have a wife, or a family. It's just my hobby. You can't deprive me of this hobby." Aaron's face was full of bitterness, as if he was about to cry
"Do you want me to give you an official order?" Nathaniel raised his eyebrows slightly. He sounded very dominant.
Aaron messed up Janell Joy. If he hadn't been there last night, Janell Joy would've mistaken someone else for him. If he did not rush over last night, then the person who would kiss Janell Joy was likely to be another man.
As he thought about the many 'what ifs', Nathaniel wanted to tear Aaron to pieces. By speaking to him so nicely now, he was simply doing him a favor
"Yes, then I will restrain myself as much as I can in the future." Aaron was extremely reluctant in his heart. However, he did not dare to disobey. He could only nod and agree, then he walked away feeling dishearted.
As soon as Aaron left, another message came in. It was another photo of Janell Joy. In the photo, she was having a bite of a chocolate cake. It looked like it was very delicious.
Nathaniel couldn't help but to stretch out his finger and touched her lips. "You silly child, do you know how tasty you look?"
Buzz, buzz-
Almost immediately after, the phone vibrated again. It was another text, "Brother Lucas, why won't you reply?"
What did she expect? Did she want him to say that he wanted to have a bite of her? Did she now know that there was another implicit meaning behind that line?
This girl must have known it, but her big, bright eyes would make others think otherwise. What she meant by having a bite, was simply just having a bite of the food. She didn't mean anything else.
"Brother Lucas, the cake in this cafe tastes very good, and the coffee is also very nice. I'll treat you to a meal here someday?"
It didn't matter that he didn't reply to her as she still kept sending him messages anyway. She appeared unbothered by the fact that he stopped replying.
Nathaniel had a lot of concerns, but Janell Joy did not. To her, finding Brother Lucas was all she wanted. No matter who it was, no matter what it was, nothing could not stop her idea of being with Brother Lucas. It was not a spur of the moment, but the idea that had been in her mind all these years.
"Brother Lucas, Coast City's food is really special. When you can reunite with me, you must bring me for a big meal at the Coast Pavilion!"
Nathaniel still hadn't replied to any of her messages, but she kept spamming him anyway. Every time he received a message, he would pick up his phone and read immediately
When he saw the messages, Nathaniel felt like he could see through her lonely eyes. She was trying hard to make herself laugh and persuade herself that everything was alright.
When he thought that she might be in pain and she was masking her emotions, Nathaniel's heart ached. He immediately typed out, "Okay! I promise you, I will!"
"Brother Lucas, you don't have to reply to me. I know you are busy. I'm spamming you with messages so that you would know where I am and what I'm doing."
A few seconds after Nathaniel sent his reply, Janell Joy's messages came pouring in again. This time, he could see from her words that she was in a much better mood. She was in a good mood, so was he.
He smiled and replied to her with a message, "I am busy. Maybe I don't have time to reply to your messages. But I can guarantee that I will miss any messages you sent."
"Brother Lucas, I know that, I really do. Go ahead with your business, I will continue sending you messages." Janell Joy kept updating him regularly. She knew that her Brother Lucas loved her the most.
Brother Lucas was working. If she kept pestering him, he wouldn't be able to work. It was good enough that he took some time to reply to her.
Hmph.....
Bad Daddy! Bad Daddy!
"You don't even care about your baby Janell anymore. Your baby will soon be taken away by others soon. You can just sulk in a corner later."
Janell Joy hummed a tune happily. Dominic Cooper stared at her for a while and he asked curiously, "Janell, what's making you so happy?"
Janell Joy smiled at him and said, "I'm very happy that I can have a meal with you, Brother Dominic." Since she was a child, everyone had praised her for being so good at speaking and winning others' hearts.
Dominic asked again, "You're happy to be out with me? But I haven't seen you eat your food yet. You've been busy with your phone. Is the food okay?"
Dominic really wanted to know who she was talking to, but it would be rude to ask that. After all, he was not her "Brother Lucas" yet. If he became too nosy about her, she would feel annoyed. She was young and rebellious anyway.
"Because I'm texting my father, and I'm telling him good news." Janell Joy added, "Brother Dominic, thank you for making me so happy!" First, she said that she was telling her father some good news, and then she thanked her Brother Dominic...
It's hard for Dominic not to take her words personally. He took the opportunity to sit next to Janell Joy and put his hand on her shoulder, but before he could touch her, she reached out and grabbed his hand. She twisted his hand back as he cried out in pain, "Janell, what are you doing?"
Janell Joy really wanted to warn him to watch his boundaries around her. However, she pursed her lips and thought more about her actions. What if this person wanted to harm her Brother Lucas?
She could not act rashly and alert the enemy. She immediately composed herself and smiled apologetically. "Brother Dominic, I'm sorry. I've been practicing Taekwondo since I was a child. I react automatically."
"Yes, yes." Samantha, who was eating her food silently, rarely noticed anything other than food. She nodded hard when she heard Janell Joy's explanation, "There are boys in our school who have their arms twisted by Janell Joy before."
760
Janell Joy Carter and Samantha Lesley's explanation was reasonable. Dominic Cooper could not find a flaw with their argument, nor could he be angry with the two young girls.
How he had some doubts. When Nathaniel approached Janell Joy last night, he even kissed her... She did not react aggressively, so why did she react differently when he got close to her?
"Brother Dominic, you are lucky that your hand is fine." Samantha took a big bite of cake as she slurred.
"Then I am... quite lucky." Dominic withdrew his hand and shook off the pain. It was not dislocated, and he went back to smiling.
"Karen, I am Luc... Brother Dominic, how could I blame you?" Dominic was also very smart, he tried to slip up deliberately so that Janell Joy would be more convinced that he was her Brother Lucas.
That was Aaron's plan. They couldn't directly admit that Dominic was her Brother Lucas. Because the child was very clever. If they told her directly, she would not believe it. They needed to leave some clues and have her piece the puzzles together, as she trusted her own judgement more.
That was why they fabricated the conversation last night, as they wanted to deliberately give her some clues before they met on the dance floor so Janell Joy would fall into their trap.
Sure enough, Janell Joy fell for it. If Nathaniel hadn't appeared... Janell Joy would be all over Dominic right now, then he didn't have to make much effort today.
"Brother Dominic, you are so good to me! You.treat me better than my father does!" Janell Joy looked at him with joy and admiration. She pursed her lips and asked carefully, "Brother Dominic, do you have any other names besides this name?"
Since Dominic was trying to bait her, then she was willing to play along. Whatever he wanted, she will cooperate with him. She was excited to see who would win in the end.
Hearing Janell Joy's question, Dominic was.slightly happy in his heart. His plan was succeeding.
"No, no..." Dominic reached out his hand again as he wanted to touch her hair, but he didn't dare to act rashly after the lesson he had just learned. He withdrew his hand shortly after
"Brother Dominic, wait for me. I need to discuss something with Samantha quickly." Janell Joy pulled Samantha and said, "Samantha, come with me."
Samantha was busy eating cake. "Janell Joy, just say it here. I'm not done with my cake yet."
"Samantha, look at how heavy you are already. If you continue eating like this, you'll be twice my size." Janell Joy pulled Samantha away anyway. But Samantha didn't want to leave before she finished her cake.
Janell Joy had no choice but to persuade nicely, "Samantha, come with me. I'll ask Aunt Janna to make you her famous white chocolate cake next time."
"White chocolate cake? Well, okay! Janell Joy, you must remember your words." Samantha liked to eat Aunt Janna's white chocolate cake a lot, but Aunt Janna would only make it for Janell Joy, so even if Samantha wanted to eat it, she might not be able to have them.
"Deal!" Janell Joy thought that this was the easiest deal ever because she could just get the cake with a single request.
"Janell Joy, what's the matter?" Samantha scratched her head as she looked at her, unable to understand the situation.
"Samantha, you should go back first. Brother Dominic and I will watch the play together later." Janell Joy knew that Dominic would only show his full act after Samantha leaves.
"Janell Joy, do you think Brother Dominic is really your Brother Lucas?" Samantha didn't know him well anyway, so she didn't bother much. She just wanted to enjoy life with great food and fun.
"Yes, it seems likely, so I need to be with him alone and observe him." Janell Joy didn't mean to lie to Samantha, but she knew that Samantha was a gullible person. If she was being interrogated, she might just reveal everything she knew because she couldn't lie.
"Janell Joy, then I'll go back first. You should come back earlier too." Samantha turned around and walked away. Then, she stopped, "Janell Joy, if I return home without you, my brother will definitely punish me."
Samantha really didn't understand, why did her brother treat Janell Joy better than her?
"Then you can stay at a cafe and wait for me, and I will come to you later. Anyway, you can't be the third wheel between me and Brother Dominic." Janell Joy wanted to make Dominic feel like she was sure that he was her Brother Lucas.
"Oh, okay, remember to find me. Don't leave me alone again like last night." Samantha was still holding a slight grudge over the party last night.
Janell Joy went home first last night, and Samantha went home later. When she went back, her brother grabbed her and almost locked her up. Of course, she would remember the culprit very well, Janell Joy.
"Janell, where is Samantha?" As he saw Janell Joy walking back alone, Dominic was a little excited.
Janell Joy lowered her head slightly and whispered, "Brother Dominic, I asked Samantha to go back first. I want to watch this play with you alone. You don't mind, do you?"
Janell Joy's smile was subtle, her voice was crisp and sweet, and her face turned red. She looked very shy yet charming, just like a smitten teenage girl.
She looked so smitten, like she was on her first date. No one would have thought that she was acting.
"Anything you wish." Dominic got up and reached out to grab her waist again, but he still didn't dare to touch her.
"Janell, can I?" He sought her advice.
"Brother Dominic, I'm afraid that I'll hurt you." She meant that she had an instinctive.reaction to defend herself, and it was not within her control.
Dominic didn't dare to try anymore. This girl's strength was really great. He walked in front of her and said, "Let's go to the theatre and watch the show first."
Dominic asked his men to prepare the VIP room upstairs. The VIP room was quiet, spacious, and had a good view, which was the best place to watch the show.
However, they did not focus on the play. Even when the play was halfway through, they probably don't even know the storyline.
Dominic leaned closer to Janell Joy and asked, "Janell, do you like watching this?"
"I do." Janell Joy nodded and tried hard to act joyfully. "As long as you're watching with me, I will like it."
"Janell..." He looked at her and smiled bitterly. "Do you know why I'm so nice to you the minute I saw you?"
"Because you are my..." Janell Joy could not say the words 'Brother Lucas, because this man was not her Brother Lucas.
