Chapter 382 Male Friend is Similar to Boyfriend
They went to mansion No. 8 during the day, and in the evening, Daniel, Janet and their daughters stayed at the Leroy Manor to keep Lola and Harry company. The New Year's Day was coming. This was the first time Janet celebrated the New Year with the Si family, instead of with her own parents at home.
Daniel understood her feelings, and decided to get off work earlier than he usually did, and keep her company.
Lola gave red packets to her two granddaughters, but saved the biggest one for Janet.
She gave it to her, and because it was the New Year, Janet didn't refuse, and instead thanked Lola and took the red packet from her hand.
In the evening, Janet snuggled up in Daniel's arms, while quietly admiring the night scenery outside the window.
There were a couple of stars twinkling in the sky, and Janet whispered into Daniel's ear, "My New Year's resolution is to give birth to one more baby for you."
Daniel suddenly wrapped his hands around her waist, and pressed her against the chair. "Mine to, so let's get started on it right now!"
п
Daniel also hoped that they could have a son who could protect Janet and the twins when he wasn't by their side.
After the first month of the lunar year, Daniel became more and more busy with his work.
Janet also got busy, and as the new year began, her shop opened for business and received a lot of orders.
It was still very cold in February, and Daniel sent Janet back to the villa as usual.
Her two daughters had been taken to Leroy Manor, and the villa had suddenly became a lot more quiet. Janet missed her children very much.
And Daniel also looked a little different. He... looked as if he were a little depressed.
After they entered the villa, they immediately felt the warm air. Daniel changed his shoes and helped Janet to take off her coat and handed it to the servant.
After getting married, he had his wife and children to take care of. It would be a good idea to hire a couple of more servants for the villa.
Daniel had personally selected, and hired several experienced servants from the household service company.
After the servant left, Janet put her arms around Daniel's waist, and said, "Honey, you seem to be distracted. What's bothering you?"
Daniel slightly smiled at her, and nodded, "I have to go on a business trip."
'On a business trip?' Janet thought that this was perfectly normal for a CEO like him to do. But she had never seen him look... so depressed like that even though he had been on a business trip for a month before.
He was just unhappy, at least that's what she thought he was. "Is it difficult to deal with?"
She thought that this was the only reason that he was feeling so dejected.
Daniel didn't say anything. He went upstairs to their bedroom along with Janet, and then sat together on the bed.
"It's a very troublesome matter, and I speculate... that I'll be gone for two or three months, or maybe even longer than that.
Before the New Year, they had been assaulted by Alex again, when they were in O Country.
At the time, in order not to frighten Janet, Daniel had told her that the attackers had been hired by people with whom he had a conflict in business.
Last month a sedan, driving out of control, had rushed into Janet's car. But luckily, Roma was a skilled driver, and they had taken the refitted Bugatti Veyron which Daniel had given Janet.
The Bugatti had been hit, and had nearly fallen into the river if Roma hadn't slammed her foot on the brakes in time, slowing the car.
Later, Daniel found out that Sabina had hired people to do this, and that now she was at the Black Moon's headquarter in Z Country.
He had told Janet that the car accident had been caused by a drunk driver.
On another day, a killer had lurked in the restaurant opposite to Janet's shop, waiting for her. After Daniel's car had left, the killer immediately tried to shot at Janet. The bodyguard behind Janet had taken the bullet for her.
Careful not to cause any unnecessary panic among the other people around, the bodyguard clenched his teeth instead, and didn't let the passers-by see his odd expression and strange behavior. Janet had heard the bodyguard groan in a low voice behind her, and when she was just about to turn her head around, Roma quickly found an excuse to drag her into the shop.
There were many killers sent to kill Janet lurking around everywhere, but Daniel had also made sure to send a lot of undercover bodyguards to protect Janet.
However, this wasn't a permanent solution. The only way to help Janet get rid of this danger once and for all was to kill Alex.
The public security system in Z Country was a total mess, and Alex was in good relations with the local powerful people.
That was why Alex could act so recklessly and lawlessly!
No officer ever dared to punish him as long as his actions hadn't had any significant impact.
Daniel had already started to contact powerful people, and had also sent a lot of police agents from C Country to investigate the Black Moon's strength. That morning, he had also officially formed a special task force team against the gang.
"Are you going to deal with... the new company branch? Why do you have to stay so long this time?" Janet felt a little sad when she heard that Daniel was going to leave her alone for such a long time. Daniel took a long look at her, but in the end decided not to tell her anything. He moved his gaze on her hair instead, and said, "Yes, I need to deal with some of the company's affairs, and it's a little bit complicated, but I'll try to come back as soon as possible."
Janet didn't want him to leave her. She put her arms around him, and said, "I don't want you to leave me! Can't I go along with you?"
She had already been used to staying with Daniel, and now that she heard that he had to leave her for so long, she began to be increasingly sorrowful.
Daniel was also very sad about this.
But, for her to be happy for the rest of her life, he had to be heartless this time.
"You can't come with me this time, because I have a lot of things to do." He decisively refused her, because he didn't want to put her in danger while she was together with him everyday.
This was the first time that Daniel had decisively refused her, and Janet felt so sad that her eyes got red, and filled with tears to the brim.
"Go then!" said Janet.
She left Daniel's embrace and walked towards the bathroom to wash off her tears.
Daniel took her by her hand and pulled her into his arms again, and said, "Jane, just listen to me this one time!"
He thought that if all went according to his plan this time, he would take Janet with him wherever she wanted in the future.
But if it failed... No! He couldn't allow his actions to fail!
Morose, Janet leaned against his shoulder, and said, "I don't want you to leave me alone for so much time! Won't you miss me, and the children?"
Daniel smiled and touched her face with his large palm, and said, "I will absolutely miss you!"
"You're all annoying! Bill left last month, and now you're going as well! Humph!" said Janet. Janet had seen Bill off on his way last month. He said that he wanted to do business with Daniel in the future, and to further his studies he chose to go to a college of economics and management.
Daniel raised her chin and made her look him in the eyes. He asked her, "Is Bill as important as I am in your heart?"
After she heard him, she thought that if she dared to say yes, he would severely punished her, and instead said, "No! A husband is different from a male friend!"
"Male friend is similar to boyfriend. Don't call him 'male friend' again!"
." That wasn't the key point! "Honey, you can hand the company's affairs over to others. After all, we already have a lot of money now, more than we'll ever need; you don't have to earn more..." Janet's father had given her six cases filled with cash. She was still keeping them in the study's safe, because she hadn't had the chance to spend a cent out of them.
Daniel had successfully concealed his true motives from Janet!
She was madly in love with Daniel and lived happily every day, and she almost forgot about the matter concerning Alex.
Janet thought that Daniel was really going to deal with his business.
This was what Daniel had expected her to believe, after he finished talking to her. He hoped that Janet would eventually get rid of her nightmares, and if possible, she would never remember any unpleasant experience ever again. 0000
