Walking in the sun, everyone stopped for a moment, and the women put on their shoes and socks back on their feet.
Only Janet had fallen asleep.
Thanks to Daniel, she hadn't slept not even for a full hour last night. After she had hiked on the mountain for a while, she couldn't help but fall asleep on Daniel's back while he was carrying her.
Daniel called Janet, but she didn't reply. He called her again.
Jerry heard him, and after he looked at his sister, he whispered to Daniel, "She's asleep!"
... Daniel was speechless, but went on climbing with her on his back. After the rest of their group had put their shoes and socks back on, he was the only one that was still carrying someone.
Janet woke up when they were halfway up a hill, and she thought that she had missed a lot of the beautiful scenery that was unfolding in front of her eyes. If it hadn't been for some children around them screaming and playing, she would have probably still been asleep for most of the trip.
When the woman on his back moved, Daniel knew that she was awake, and discontentedly looked at the screaming children.
But, in the end, he still didn't say anything, and kept his mouth shut.
Janet whispered in his ear, "Daniel, I'm awake. You can put me down now."
The clothes on her body had almost dried, which indicated that she had slept for quite a while.
Daniel found a nearby bench and put her on it.
She put on her shoes and socks, and said, "Thank you!" She then trotted to keep up with others in front.
Daniel felt unsatisfied with her thanks.
But he still didn't say anything, and just kept it in mind for later.
After a while, Janet's cell phone rang. She took it out of her coat, and when she looked at the caller, she saw that it was Caspar.
She walked a little slower, and while falling behind, she answered the phone."Caspar."
Daniel, who was in front of her, frowned and also slowed down on his pace too.
"Janet, when are you coming back? Grandpa misses you and the twins, " said Caspar. As soon as Caspar had come out of Dillon's villa, he had called Janet.
Janet hesitated for a while, and said, "I still need some time first. I'm busy with renting shops these days, but I'll come back when I'm done with all of it." In actuality, she didn't want to go back...
Caspar was a little annoyed that she didn't give him a date."Can I help?" he asked.
"No, I've rented a shop before, I'm experienced!" Janet gasped a little. She forgot abo
Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex. To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him."As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women...
w that Janet was walking down the mountain in a huff.
Daniel ran over to her, grabbed her by the wrist, and pulled her up the hill.
"Let me go! I don't want to go up with you!" said Janet.
Daniel pinned her to a tree behind her, and asked, "Are you trying to make everyone unhappy?"
"Everybody's going to have fun without me, " she said.
"Janet, why are you so childish? Don't you know that they're all worried about you?" He was lecturing her with his harsh and cold voice.
Janet felt wronged and curled her lips. He was the person who had upset her in the first place; why was she the one to blame?
She then burst into an uncontrollable sob.
When Daniel saw tears flowing down her flushed cheeks, some pain flowed into his heart, but despite that he still ordered her, "Stop crying!"
But Janet ignored him, and instead cried even louder than before!
"Janet, didn't you hear what I said? Are you also deaf?" He furiously hit the tree behind her with his fist, but the sharp pain in his hand didn't even make him frown.
Janet could tell that the tree had shaken.
"Why do you treat me like this? Is it because that you don't love me?" she asked. She snorted and kept crying.
Daniel was about to lose his patience, and he warned Janet again, "Stop crying already!"
"Why can't I cry? If you don't want to see me, just fuck off and leave me alone!" Janet then pushed him away and continued to go down the hill like before.
A middle-aged man in a cleaning uniform saw exactly what had happened between them, and he laughed, and told Daniel, "Try coaxing her when she cries. Don't be that harsh, it never works that way."
