CHAPTERS 751-755
751
Nathaniel Cooper frowned slightly, and his almond shaped eyes under his mask narrowed. He looked stern. His eyes swept from left to right, but he couldn't see the person he was looking for. This place was so chaotic and complicated. Where did Janell Joy Carter go?
Nathaniel felt a little anxious and uneasy because he couldn't find her. "Sir?" Nathaniel stood still, and the bodyguards behind him did not dare to move an inch too.
"Split up and find her." Nathaniel ordered. As soon as he spoke, he saw a familiar figure at the dance floor from the corner of his eyes. Even though the lights were dim, and there were many people, Nathaniel recognized her at first sight even when she wore a mask.
He had met many people in his life and he had been through so much. Although with time, most of his memories would fade away, but some of the memories were imprinted deeply in his heart and his mind.
No matter how much he had gone through, and no matter how long it had been, that memory did not fade away at all. In fact, he remembered even more now.
That little chubby girl was an imprint engraved deep in Nathaniel's heart. No matter how much time had passed, no matter how many people he had come into contact with, he would never be able to forget her.
Now, the little chubby girl had grown up and appeared right in front of him through many hardships on her end too. He couldn't wait to bring her close and hold her tight, so that he wouldn't have to worry about separating from her again.
The treasure he wanted to dote on for the rest of his life was not far away from him. At this time, he could take advantage of the darkness, the crowd, and the party chaos, to secretly appear by her side. But just as he was hesitating, a masked man approached Janell Joy silently.
She appeared clueless, as the man quietly reached out his hand, and his target was Janell Joy's slender waist...
In the blink of an eye, Nathaniel did not care much about anything else. His identity, his responsibilities, his goals... were all put on hold at this moment.
At this moment, he only had one thought in mind. He knew that he couldn't let anyone touch his Janell Joy. He was her only guardian angel!
"Ah!"
The man who wanted to take advantage of Janell Joy did not manage to touch her, but he was caught by someone else's strong grip and he screamed in pain. Nathaniel only exerted a little force and he could hear the sound of the man's bones breaking. He didn't speak, but he looked at the man coldly.
"I won't anymore, I won't..." The man kept begging him for mercy, and his eyes were full of fear and panic.
Nathaniel twisted his arm slightly, and the man's arm was dislocated. He could barely feel his arm now. The man was so scared that he didn't even dare to speak or flinch.
This is the Paul's residence, so he didn't dare to cause trouble. He was curious as to who was behind the mask who had such tremendous courage.
Nathaniel threw the man away and said coldly, "Out!"
The man fled in panic after getting his freedom. After running a few steps, he plucked up his courage and looked back to see who he was. The man only said one word to him, yet he thought that he might lose his own life if he even move a little.
When he looked back, he caught Nathaniel's fierce gaze. He was so frightened that he turned around and ran away. He didn't dare to look back anymore.
After he drove away the man who wanted to take advantage of Janell Joy, Nathaniel secretly guarded her, not letting anyone to get close to her again.
Since it happened on the dance floor, the music was deafening and everything was chaotic. What just happened was just a small episode that night, and no one noticed it.
No, it was not that no one noticed it. The host of the party that night knew about it as he saw what just happened through the monitoring room.
"Dominic, don't get close to her anymore. Come back right away."
Not long ago, Dominic Cooper left Janell Joy and went to.the bathroom. When he came out of the bathroom, he heard Aaron Paul's orders through the walkie-talkie.
"Why?" He didn't understand. The child had already believed in his identity. They were so close to reaching their goal, so why did he have to retreat at this time?
Aaron said angrily, "You need to come back first."
Dominic said, "Master Paul, our plan will succeed soon."
This time, Dominic was unwilling to listen to Aaron Paul's instructions. He wanted to return to Janell Joy's side. He knew that she was still waiting for him in the corner.
"He's here," Aaron had to tell the truth.
A simple answer, but Dominic immediately stopped walking forward. Because Dominic knew very well who the person Aaron was referring to. This person was his cousin, Nathaniel, who had just taken up the position as the new President. He was the real "Brother Lucas "that Janell Joy was talking about.
The real Brother Lucas arrived. As the fake Brother Lucas... Of course, he could only retreat obediently and give them some space.
"Why did he suddenly come here?" Back in the monitoring room, Dominic picked up a beer bottle at the side and took a sip.
"He knew that the child is here. It would be.strange if he didn't come." Aaron looked at the monitor screen, and he was staring at the man who was wearing a mask but he still looked intimidating.
He only thought about how to lure the two young ladies to his banquet, but he forgot to prevent the news from being leaked to Mr. President. It was an accident this time, and he couldn't afford to have another one like this the next time.
Nathaniel stood behind Janell Joy and looked at her quietly... Even though he was separated from the screen and by the mask, Aaron could still see the affection in his eyes.
It's over! It's over! It's over!
Aaron shouted a few times in his heart. The President's feelings for this child had long changed. He no longer harboured a sweet, innocent, caring feeling towards her.
"Are we just going to let it go? Our plan is going to be ruined like this?" Dominic was watching Nathaniel on the screen too, and his tone sounded dissatisfied.
"Of course we can't just let it go like this," said Aaron.
He had to find a way to make the child leave as soon as possible. The sooner, the better. He must never let her set foot in Country A again. Otherwise, his fate and the country's fate would be very uncertain.
"What are we going to do next?" Dominic clenched his fists. "He had just taken office, and he's already acting so messily."
"Master Dominic, I just want to ask you one question. You're being so angry now, is it because you also like that girl, or is it because you don't want to see him walking down the wrong path?" Aaron asked a very sensitive question.
752
In the Cooper family, the only person Aaron Paul could trust was Dominic Cooper. When he wanted to find a man to impersonate Brother Lucas, the first person that popped out in his mind was Dominic.
Hearing Aaron's question, Dominic paused and slowly replied, "Before I saw this girl, I only wanted to help her. After seeing this girl..."
He took a deep breath and said,"Master Paul, she's like some sort of magnetic force. She is so innocent, pure, and beautiful that I can't help but want to get close to her. I thought that if I could, it would be good for me to be her Brother Lucas for the rest of my life."
Dominic answered truthfully, but Aaron Paul didn't know what to say. After thinking for some time, he responded, "Master Dominic, I know you are a wise man. You know better than I do about what you should and shouldn't do."
"I know." Dominic took a deep breath and shrugged. "Tell me, what should we do next?"
"We will act according to the situation. As long as he reunites with her, our plan can still be carried out." Aaron knew that even if Nathaniel was reluctant to give up on her, he would never reunite with her.
He was entangled in a lot of affairs. He was absolutely reluctant to let her suffer with him. However, the moment Aaron finished his words, the situation on the screen changed dramatically.
For some reason, the little girl suddenly pounced on Nathaniel. She held his waist tightly and buried her little head in his chest. She rubbed her head against his chest again and again, like a poor kitten.
"Master Paul, this..." Dominic immediately acted on impulse in front of the screen.Looking at his anxious expression, it seemed that he was ready to rush into the screen and drag them out.
Aaron said, "Wait, she might think that he is you."
Dominic took a step back. His forehead and hands were covered with obvious veins and he looked very anxious. Yes, it was true.
Janell Joy Carter thought that the person that was secretly guarding behind her was the Brother Lucas who had been accompanying her the whole night.
She heard his conversation with Aaron, and she asked him some questions indirectly. His answers were all the same as Brother Lucas's.
He even mentioned the incident 13 years ago, on the 20th of May, at the Aegean Sea...
Janell Joy couldn't remember what Brother Lucas looked like, but she always remembered clearly that she had seen Brother Lucas at her parents' wedding.
All the information showed that Dominic was her Brother Lucas. Although she still had some doubts in her heart, she could bear to turn him away.
If Brother Lucas knew what she was thinking, he would be very sad, so she nerved herself to hug him. When she hugged him, she breathed his scent in, and this scent was so familiar that it reignited all her memories of the past.
She was certain that he was her Brother Lucas. He was the Brother Lucas whom she had missed for more than ten years!
At this moment, Janell Joy was so glad that she did not hesitate any longer. She was so glad that she had the courage to hug him. Otherwise, she might miss this opportunity.
She had been separated from him for more than ten years. Now that she finally grew up and came to him, she had to cherish every minute and second.
She hugged him so close and said excitedly, "Brother Lucas, it's me! I'm your Little Jane!"
Nathaniel did not expect Janell Joy to suddenly do such a thing. As she hugged him, he immediately stiffened and he was shocked.
"Brother Lucas, it's all my fault, I didn't recognize you right away. It's my fault, please forgive me, okay?" Her voice was soft, and there was a hint of that familiar pitiful tone she had when she was a child.
In addition, her excited yet sad voice made him feel like he was her knight in shining armour Nathaniel straightened his body and let her hold him. He didn't dare to move... He was worried that if he moved, he would do more than just to hold her.
"Brother Lucas, I was still doubting whether it was really you, but now I can confirm it." She noticed that his body was stiff, so she tried to speak more, hoping that he knew that she recognized him way earlier ago.
Janell Joy sniffed his scent again and again, and all the doubts in her heart were cleared. Brother Lucas's scent was so familiar that it could make her feel at ease.
She was sure that this person was her Brother Lucas.
"Brother Lucas, if you don't want to speak, then don't speak. Let me speak." She hugged him even tighter, pressing her entire body against his body.
"Brother Lucas, I've always remembered you. I've never forgotten you."
As she spoke, he listened attentively. Her voice and tone sounded like a sweet song, playing repeatedly in his mind. If he could pretend to be cold and stern at this moment, then he would not be the Brother Lucas whom she had been missing all this time.
Hence, Nathaniel moved and reached out to hold her gently. He spoke softly, "Alright, I know!"
He always knew that she had never forgotten him. She had been working hard to look for him, as he was always watching her.
After receiving the response from Brother Lucas, Janell Joy finally felt relieved. She continued to rest in Brother Lucas's arms and said, "Brother Lucas, when I saw the tattoo on your left hand, I already suspected that you were Brother Lucas. However, I didn't recognize you at the first moment because I had mistakenly recognized President Cooper as you..."
"What?" After listening for a long time, Nathaniel finally understood that Janell Joy thought that he was another man. She also ruled out the possibility that he was her Brother Lucas
"Brother Lucas, you're not blaming me for mistaking you for someone else, are you?" She suddenly raised her head and looked at him with her big bright eyes, waiting for his reply.
This lady was so quick-witted that she could make a fool out of anyone at any time. If he was not alert, he would have suspected that she was acting, and that she was deceiving him.
However, she was looking for the Brother Lucas she had missed so much. She meant every word she said. That was why Nathaniel was sure that this girl had mistaken him as another person, and she was not lying to him.
.... A tattoo on the left hand?
Nathaniel thought for a moment and thought of his younger cousin, Dominic, who was about the same age as him. Dominic got his tattoo because of an injury when he was very young.
The elders of the family decided for him to have the family's Totem tattooed on his hand.
753
This totem was very special. It was passed down from many generations in their family. It was said that every line drawn on the totem represented a generation of their family. The specific meaning had been passed down for so many years, and the deep meaning got lost throughout generations.
Everyone only remembered that this was a symbol of their identity. Every member of their family had this totem close to them.
He had a necklace that symbolized his identity. He polished it with ivory, and he carved the family totem personally. Dominic Cooper had it tattooed…
Everyone in the family had this totem in different forms. Nathaniel Cooper gave his necklace that symbolized his identity to Little Jane. He hoped that he could grow up with her through this way. On the other hand, he hoped that one day, she would be able to find him with this unique totem.
Things did develop as he planned, and there was not a single error, but... something went wrong on his side.
"Brother Lucas, are you going to blame me?" Janell Joy looked up at him and asked carefully.
He was very tall, probably about the same height as her father. And she had the average height of a young woman. When she talked to him, she had to raise her head. It was so difficult. She raised her head high to speak to him…
Janell Joy could sense something unusual. The "Brother Lucas" who accompanied her not long ago was not so tall. When she talked to him, she only needed to raise her head slightly and it wasn't that tiring.
The difference in height between the two "Brother Lucas" was so big that she knew they were different people. In other words, the person who accompanied her this evening was Dominic. When Dominic went to the bathroom, she was accompanied by another person.
Then who was this man if he was not Dominic? Why did he make her think that he was her Brother Lucas? What the hell was going on?
"Why would I blame my Little Jane?" He said in a very low voice so that she couldn't hear his real voice clearly. It seemed like he did it on purpose.
Knowing that there might be a loophole in this matter, Janell Joy calmed down a lot. She looked at him and asked, "Are you really my Brother Lucas?"
She was still staring at him, but her gaze changed. She was no longer expecting her Brother Lucas to reveal himself, but she was doubtful.
This time, it was not the words that answered her, but his actions that answered her. He slowly reached out and covered her eyes with his hands. He leaned over and kissed her gently on the little scar between her eyebrows.
He used his action to prove that he was her Brother Lucas. She thought that this person was very likely to be a fake Brother Lucas, but when he kissed her, she did not resist.
She even felt that this kiss was not unfamiliar. When she was very young, Brother Lucas liked to kiss her like this. Janell Joy widened her eyes and looked at him. She wanted to recognize who he was and why he was trying to be mysterious with her.
However, the light was so dim that she couldn't see him clearly. Suddenly, she heard him call her name out gently, "Janell!"
He only said a word, which was her name, and only the closest people around her called her so. She could hear from his voice that there were a lot of emotions in his voice and a lot of reluctance.
"Are you really Brother Lucas?" She asked again, insisting on getting a positive answer.
"Trust your guts, your senses won't lie." He raised his hand and touched her cheek, pinching her like he did when she was a child.
She had lost a lot of weight. When he was pinching her face, it did not feel as chubby as it did when she was a child. Janell Joy reached out to hold his hand and frowned slightly.
There was no tattoo on the back of this man's left hand. He was not Dominic. So who was he? Why did he talk to her in a modified voice, yet hinted that he was her Brother Lucas?
Just as Janell Joy was deep in thoughts, another thing happened. He kissed her. This time, he did not kiss her forehead, but her lips instead. Moreover, he kissed her so hard that it felt like he wanted to claim her as his own.
"Oo... you." Janell Joy stared at him and pushed him instinctively. But when the familiar scent floated into her breath, she stopped struggling.
In her subconscious, she was willing to let her Brother Lucas kiss her. He could kiss her however he wanted. When his kiss became more and more passionate, she instinctively closed her eyes and grabbed the corner of his clothes tightly to pull herself closer to him.
Just when she felt that she was going to suffocate, and she felt weaker in her knees, he reached out to hold her waist to keep her balance and kissed her again.
This kiss lasted for a very long time. She also hoped that he would not stop and just hold her like this so that they could be together forever and never be separated again.
"Brother Lucas..." He let her go after a long time. She was finally free.
After breathing in the fresh air, the first thing she said was his name. "Janell!"
Seeing her swollen red lips that he kissed, he hated how rough he was and almost hurt her earlier, but he did not regret kissing her.
"Brother Lucas..." She threw herself into his arms again and hugged him tightly.
"Brother Lucas, I finally found you. I will never leave you again in the future." She put her head on his chest again and nestled in his embrace.
Her Brother Lucas finally reconciled with her, and they would never separate again.
"Janell..." He called her name out again. He wanted to speak more but stopped on second thought. There were thousands of words that he wanted to say to her, but he did not know how to start.
"Brother Lucas, you can say what you want to say, I am listening." She winked at him, and her eyes were shining.
"Janell, can you go to a place with me?"
At this moment, he did not think about his identity, nor was he worried if she would recognize him. He only wanted to take her to a place that he could see her clearly.
"Brother Lucas, no matter where you go, I will follow you." Even if it was miles away, as long as Brother Lucas was with her, she would not say no.
"Janell..."
She did not hesitate and did not care much, but he hesitated. At present, his situation was complicated. He could not put her in the center of a dangerous whirlpools in order to satisfy himself.
The reason why he could climb to his current position smoothly was because he had no weaknesses for others to target. Once Janell Joy appeared by his side, and when more.people knew about her identity, she might be.in danger.
"Brother Lucas, what's wrong?"
She seemed to have noticed that he was struggling. He obviously wanted to get close to her, but he was gradually getting further away from her.
754
"Janell, we still can't..." After a long while, Nathaniel Cooper finally said some words, but he struggled to finish his sentence.
"Brother Lucas, it's okay. You don't have to say anything. I understand." Janell Joy Carter smiled to cover up the sadness in her eyes. "You just need to hug me for a while."
She needed him to hold her in his arms, to assure that this was Brother Lucas, and that she was not in a dream. That would be enough!
"Janell, I'm sorry!" Nathaniel pulled her into his arms desperately.
"Brother Lucas, you don't have to say sorry! Because you are my Brother Lucas." she said in a soft voice.
She was willing to respect all his decisions, to support him, and wait for the day when he will be willing to reconcile with her publicly.
"Brother Lucas..." Janell Joy took out a new mobile phone from her pocket and asked, "Brother Lucas, can you give me your phone number?"
Nathaniel stared at her. She was clearly very sad, but she tried to make herself look fine. She was obviously the apple of everyone's eye. She could just cause a scene, yet she acted so sensibly.
Nathaniel's heart ached for every compromise she was willing to take! Nathaniel didn't respond to her, and he didn't reach out to take the phone either. Janell Joy was a little flustered.
"Brother Lucas, don't worry. Usually, I won't disturb you much. I will only send you a text message when I miss you very much. If you have time, you can choose to reply to me..." She spoke very softly. She was afraid that her request might be too much for him.
"Silly child!" He took over her mobile phone and keyed in his number. He saved the number under 'Brother Lucas.
Janell Joy looked at the digits on her phone and recited the number over and over again. She needed to remember it firmly so she could remember his number even if she lost this piece of information.
"Brother Lucas..." She carefully put away the phone and looked at him. "If I miss you too much, can I call you?"
Earlier, she said that she would not disturb him. Now, after she got the phone number, she asked if she could call him. If he agreed to her request, she would definitely push it further and ask him to call her whenever he was free.
Even though he knew the dire consequences from this, Nathaniel could not bear to turn her down. He nodded and he said, "Alright."
"I knew it. Brother Lucas always treats me the best." Since she was little, he had always been like this. No matter what kind of requests she demanded, Brother Lucas would not reject her.
Nathaniel chuckled and looked at her bright and beautiful face with her pair of shining eyes. He smiled as he touched the mark on her forehead.
"I will call you in the future, but you need to stay safe with the Lesley family."
"Alright, I will remember that." Janell Joy nodded hard. Then, she leaned close to Lucas. "Brother Lucas, can you take off your mask and let me have a look at you?"
"No!" He refused immediately, destroying the rapport between them.
"Oh, I'm sorry!" She lowered her head and felt very bad.
"It's okay." He rubbed her head. "It's getting late. Go back as soon as possible. There are many bad people out here, and it's dangerous for women to stay outside."
"Can you send me back?" She immediately said, "Since you said that it's getting late and it's dangerous. It's not safe for a girl like me to go home myself, so can you send me back?"
Yes, she was trying to find a way to push things further. After all, he was her Brother Lucas. She only wanted to pester him and stay with him all the time.
Nathaniel was conflicted because he didn't want to reveal his identity in front of her this early. He didn't want her to be involved in any forms of danger.
Janell Joy seemed to have guessed his concern, so she added, "Brother Lucas, if I cover my eyes, and I won't look at you... will that do?"
"Okay!" He responded immediately. He had never been able to turn her down before. He still remembered that many years ago, when she first went to kindergarten, she asked him to accompany her to go to school, so he became the oldest student in class.
He had been laughed at by her friends countless times. He could have just turned her down, but he didn't want to. He wanted to make her happy every day.
In the monitoring room, Aaron Paul stared at the display screen and watched Nathaniel put a blindfold on Janell Joy. Then, they left the place together...
After a long time, he let out a long sigh. "In the end, our Third Young Master still can't get through this. Is the child a blessing or a curse?"
Dominic raised his eyebrows and asked, "Did they reconcile?"
"You should go to the Lesley home tomorrow to find her. Test her a little and you will know the answer." Aaron turned off the monitor and added, "But I'm guessing that he wouldn't reconcile with her yet."
In order to satisfy his selfish desires, Nathaniel wouldn't do something risky like that and push such a young child to the eye of the storm.
Aaron had been by Nathaniel's side for so many years. He knew better than anyone how much Nathaniel cared about that lovely daughter of the Carter family.
On the way back to the Lesley house, Janell Joy was very cheerful because her Brother Lucas sent her home. She leaned to his side and said, "Brother Lucas, can you ask the driver to drive around the city? I want to see the landscape."
It was in the middle of the night, and she was blindfolded. What landscape was there to see? She was obviously talking nonsense, yet she was not embarrassed at all.
Brother Lucas was also willing to dote on her. He caressed her head and said with a smile, "Okay."
Janell Joy leaned into his arms and said, "You're the best."
Although she was blindfolded and she couldn't see anything, she didn't feel any fear. She kept talking all the way. She asked, "Brother Lucas, what kind of food do you like to eat? Tell me, I will learn to cook for you."
Then she asked, "Brother Lucas, what kind of movie do you like to watch? Tell me, we'll watch a movie together next time."
She also asked, "Brother Lucas, which place do you want to travel to the most? When we can reunite, we should go for a trip together."
She thought that she knew too little about Brother Lucas, so she was eager to get to know him more during the drive home.
As she was talking enthusiastically, Brother Lucas went in for a kiss out of the blue and it stopped her from chattering further. Since her eyes were covered and she could not see, the sensation in her mouth became heightened.
Janell Joy felt that Brother Lucas was nibbling on her lower lip gently, and then he moved close to her ear and whispered softly, "I like you very much."
755
Ah--- Janell Joy Carter was so delighted and caught off guard that she felt like she was floating on cloud nine. Before tonight, she was still worried about finding her Brother Lucas.
But at this moment, she was nestled in Brother Lucas's arms. He kissed her and even said that he liked her. It was amazing how the world worked out for her.
She was in the bottom of the Earth one day and suddenly, she was up in the skies, floating happily. She really wanted to respond and tell Brother Lucas that she also liked him, but she was reluctant to break the silence at this moment. She really wished that they would remain in this serene moment forever and ever.
"Hiss" A sudden pain came from Janell Joy's lips, which made her cry out gently. Just as she was about to question him, she heard him say, "Didn't your mother teach you to focus when you are kissing?"
Brother Lucas had the guts to say that her mother did not teach her the art of kissing. Since when did her mother have to teach her about kissing?
"Well, since your mother didn't teach you, I will teach you in the future." Brother Lucas teased playfully. Janell Joy was at a loss for words.
Brother Lucas continued, "That's a deal." Janell Joy could not see him, but it was not difficult to hear his joy in his voice.
On that night, everything seemed to be calm, but in fact, a lot of things were going on. The relationship between Brother Lucas and Janell Joy might no longer be as innocent and simple as it used to be, as their love grew to be more intense and deeper.
After returning home and lying on her warm bed, Janell Joy was thinking of her time with Brother Lucas and the two kisses. The two kisses were the first, romantic kisses between her and Brother Lucas.
Why did Brother Lucas kiss her like this? Did he have more feelings for her besides a sibling's love?
She always regarded Brother Lucas as her brother. However, when she was with Brother Lucas earlier, she did not stop him from touching her. She did not reject him from kissing her. In addition, she was also looking forward to his advances.
How odd was that...
Didn't she regard him as her brother all this time? Why did the relationship between the two of them suddenly change?
Janell Joy couldn't fall asleep even after tossing and turning around. She looked at the ceiling in a daze, thinking that it would be great if she had someone to talk to.
Samantha Lesley? Forget it, she wouldn't understand. Janell Joy wouldn't expect Samantha to help her solve her relationship problems.
Except for Samantha, who else could she go to? Her mother? Right, her mother could help her solve her relationship problems.
Janell Joy checked the time. It was three o'clock in the wee hours of the morning, and there was a twelve hour time difference with New York.
If it was late at night here, but it would be three o'clock in the afternoon in New York. Her mother should be working at the studio, so she secretly called her mother.
The phone rang, and the person on the other side of the phone immediately picked up. A gentle female voice came from the phone, "Baby, is that you?"
When she heard that familiar, gentle voice Janell Joy suddenly wanted to cry. "Mommy, I miss you."
Jane Ronan was also relieved to hear her daughter's voice. "Alright, so you miss me. Do you want to come home, or do you want me to go to Country A to accompany you?"
Janell Joy murmured, "Mommy, I'm already an adult..."
Jane smiled and said, "No matter how old you are, even if you get married one day and give birth to a child and become a mother, you are still a child to your parents."
Janell Joy pouted and said, "Mommy..."
Jane paused a little before she asked, "Have you found your Brother Lucas yet?"
Her mother was the only member of her family who supported Janell Joy's wish to find Brother Lucas, so she did not hide anything from her mother.
Janell Joy put her head in the pillow and said gloomily, "Mommy, I found Brother Lucas...but there was a little problem."
In the past, she had never thought that Brother Lucas would not want to reconcile with her. Moreover, she had never thought that Brother Lucas would kiss her like this… So she was a little confused for a moment.
"My lovely child, you can share with me." Jane had always been patient with her daughter. Whenever she talked to her, she was always gentle.
When Brother Lucas kissed her, Janell Joy did not feel embarrassed. She even felt that it was natural for Brother Lucas to treat her like that. But now when she had to tell her mother about it, Janell Joy suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and her face that was buried in the pillow turned red.
"Mommy, don't ask."
"Alright, if you don't want me to, then I won't. You're a grown up now, and I can't control you anymore," Jane responded sweetly. It sounded like she was jealous of someone.
Janell Joy hurriedly said, "Mommy, don't say that. You just said that no matter how old I am, I am still your daughter."
Jane smiled again and said, "Alright then, are you willing to tell me? Let's see if I can help you."
"Mommy, what does it feel like to love someone?" Janell Joy did not understand much about love. She did not understand what her feelings for Brother Lucas were.
Jane thought for a moment and said to her daughter, "Loving someone, it's just like how you feel now."
"Mommy, don't make fun of me." Janell Joy rolled around on the bed and blushed evennmore.
"Hmm? Did I make fun of you?" Jane smiled happily and continued, "So you're in love?"
"Mommy..."
"Then tell me, why must you find Brother Lucas?" Jane asked.
"That's because I want to be with Brother Lucas and live with him for the rest of my life, just like you and Daddy." The daughter replied.
In terms of love, Janell Joy envied her parents the most. The relationship between them lasted for a very long time. For as long as she could remember, her father and mother loved each other as much as ever.
"I wanted to spend the rest of my life with your Daddy, that's why I married him, and I did spend many more years with him," Jane added.
Janell Joy pursed her pink lips and asked, "Mommy, so what I'm feeling for Brother Lucas... is love?"
Jane responded softly, "I can't help you decide on that. You have to think through that thoroughly and listen carefully with your heart. I believe that you will be able to find the answer very soon."
"Mommy, can I really find the answer?" She was very confused. She didn't know why Brother Lucas didn't want to reconcile with her, and she didn't understand what kind of feelings Brother Lucas had for her.
Jane said with certainty to her daughter, "Of course you can. We all know that our baby Janell's a very smart child, so you can definitely find the answer."
Suddenly, when she heard the words 'Baby Janell, Janell Joy thought of what Brother Lucas said when he kissed her.
He addressed her as his favourite baby - Janell!
In fact, Baby Janell also liked Brother Lucas a lot!
In an instant, Janell Joy seemed to understand what her mother was saying to her.
