Ch. 501..510
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 501
When Jade heard those words, her eyes sparkled. It was so mysterious that it left her bewildered. Opening the box gently, she saw a white flower lying in the box and felt confused. Janet gave me a flower? Thus, she observed it carefully again. The stamens on the flower seemed to glisten—it was definitely no ordinary plant. Then, she glanced at Janet and smiled slightly. “Janet, what is this?”
“It’s a kind of plant. If you make it into a soup, it will be very good for your body.”
She felt even more mystified after hearing what Janet said. What plant is white and can lengthen one’s life? I don’t get it. Scratching her head, a thought flashed through her mind suddenly. A smile appeared in her eyes as she grabbed Janet’s arm. “Janet, could this be the legendary snow lotus?”
Their gazes met, and Janet nodded.
“Uh… Janet, why would you have something like this?” Jade was extremely puzzled. Something like this was very rare nowadays; many people couldn’t buy it even if they were willing to pay an arm and a leg for it, let alone one as large as this. Thus, she anxiously asked, “Janet, could you have been scammed?”
Janet laughed lightly at those words. “I picked it myself. It’s genuine.”
When Jade heard what Janet said, she seemed to recall something. Janet grew up in the countryside. Perhaps, she found it there.
“This is great! I’m so happy!” She smiled from ear to ear. If I bring this out in front of my friends and tell them that my granddaughter gave me this… it’ll be a great bragging point! Just what kind of good deeds did I do in my past life to become Janet’s relative in this life?
“I’m glad you like it!” Janet smiled. Her eyes were filled with gentleness.
Jade made a non-committal sound in reply. She was about to say something else when the door to the living room opened—Brian and Megan were back from the banquet.
“Mommy!” Brian and Megan reflexively greeted the old lady before their gaze shifted to the side. When Megan saw Janet, she felt emotional. Her eyes that were about to close in exhaustion sprang wide open again; she no longer felt sleepy.
“You’re back?” Brian and Megan were quite emotional. It had been a long time since they last saw their daughter.
There was no expression on Janet’s face as she gave them a simple greeting. “Dad. Mom.”
When Megan heard Janet calling her ‘Mom’, she felt happy. Smiling, she said, “I’ll go and cut some fruits for you.”
“No need!” Janet quietly refused. “I’m only here for a while.”
“Okay!” Then, Megan and Brian awkwardly sat down on the sofa. Lowering their heads, they saw the item on the table and asked, “What is this?”
Before Janet could reply, Jade responded. Moreover, her voice was filled with pride. “It’s a snow lotus!”
“What?!” Brian frowned. “Snow lotus?” How did Janet get something like this? Where did it come from?
Meanwhile, Megan seemed doubtful. She raised her head and glanced at Janet, who was expressionless. Her eyes widened slightly. “Janet, where did you get this?”
A snow lotus from the mountains was very rare nowadays. Furthermore, it had extremely high medical and research value. Accordingly, it was very difficult to find one.
“Could you have been scammed?!” Megan couldn’t quite believe that this was a genuine snow lotus.
Jade waved her hand dismissively. “It’s not a scam. Janet picked it herself!”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 502
When Megan and Brian heard those words, they glanced at Janet in shock. In return, Janet nodded at them slightly. Their eyes instantly lit up in response. I can’t believe Janet managed to pick such a precious plant! It’s very rare nowadays!
“I see. I thought you got it from the divine doctor!” At first, Brian thought Janet had bought the snow lotus from the divine doctor. After all, he heard that not many people owned this kind of plant. The divine doctor was rumored to have several of them. However, he wasn’t sure whether that was true; it was simply what he heard from others.
At the mention of the divine doctor, Megan seemed to recall something. Turning toward Brian, she asked, “Honey, have you found the divine doctor’s whereabouts?”
When Janet heard the words ‘divine doctor’, her pupils dilated slightly. Even so, she kept silent.
“Nope. I’ve been asking around, but nobody knows. The divine doctor is quite secretive!” Brian shook his head.
Megan nodded in response to those words. It looks like we won’t be able to help Emily with this.
Janet listened to the conversation between Megan and Brian. However, she couldn’t figure out why they were looking for the divine doctor. After all, they did not look like they were sick. Thus, she did not bother to question them about it.
“Let’s not talk about other people’s affairs. It’s not every day that Janet is home. We must prepare a lavish dinner for her.” Jade touched Janet’s hand. Her granddaughter’s hand was soft; it seemed like she did not suffer much outside. Still, it was great that she came home. “Yes, that’s right!” Megan nodded as he called for the housekeeper.
Contrary to their expectations, Janet interrupted before Megan could issue her instructions to the housekeeper. She looked at Jade and said, “It’s okay, Grandma. I only came here to pass the gift to you. My friend is still waiting for me outside.”
“You’re leaving?” Jade sounded slightly disappointed.
“Yes!”
Feeling bad, Megan tried to persuade Janet. “Janet, Emily isn’t here anymore. You can move back here to stay. Don’t suffer outside and put up with other people!”
Janet pursed her lips and said in a firm tone, “I’m not suffering. He treats me very well!”
“Um…” Megan forced herself to swallow what she wanted to say.
On the other hand, Jade mulled over it for a while before stroking Janet’s head. “You should go back if your friend is waiting for you. Come back and visit me whenever you’re free, okay?”
“Sure.” A cold and indifferent voice rang out.
Jade stared at Janet’s back and sighed softly. What’s so great about that guy that my granddaughter doesn’t want to live with me anymore? If that guy dares to do anything bad to my granddaughter, I’m going to use all my connections to suppress him!
After Janet left, Brian suddenly remembered something. He took out his phone and made a call. The call only rang several times before it was answered quickly. A familiar female voice came from the other side of the phone, sounding very excited. “Daddy, how did it go? Have you found the divine doctor?!”
He shook his head in response. His tone sounded rather glum too as he said, “No, the divine doctor is very secretive. I asked all my friends, but nobody knows who she is.”
Far away in Yobril, Emily was instantly dumbfounded. What did Daddy say?! He can’t find the divine doctor?! He can’t find out about the whereabouts of the divine doctor?! How can this be?!
“Daddy, how is that possible?! Why can’t you find the divine doctor?! Could it be that the divine doctor is looking down on our family?! Is the divine doctor deliberately hiding their whereabouts from us?!” Emily sounded rather angry. If we can’t find the doctor, how am I going to explain it to Hazel?! Will she think that I’m a liar and refuse to play with me anymore?
Brian sighed. “Emily, I’ve been doing my best to search for the divine doctor for you recently. But, I really can’t locate this person.”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 503
Emily couldn’t say anything more after listening to what Brian said. Thus, she said, “Thanks, Daddy. I’m going to hang up now. Hilbert is going to come and check on our progress later!”
“Okay. Take good care of yourself!”
After hanging up the phone call, Emily squeezed her phone tightly with both hands. Gritting her teeth, she cursed inside her heart. Sh*tty divine doctor! Do you think you’re so great?! How dare you insult the Jackson family in this manner?! She had boasted to Hazel that she could help find the divine doctor. Unfortunately, it was now becoming a huge slap in her own face. Daddy is so useless! Why can’t he find any information about the divine doctor?! I don’t know how to face Hazel anymore. How am I supposed to answer her if she comes and questions me about it? It’s all Daddy’s fault! What a useless father. Why doesn’t he use the Jackson Family’s connections to help me out?!
The next day, Emily coincidentally ran into Hazel at the practice room. She felt rather guilty when she saw Hazel. Even so, she had mentally prepared herself to be questioned.
Hazel broke out into a smile upon catching sight of Emily. “Emily, have you gotten any clues about the divine doctor’s whereabouts?”
Before Emily could say anything, she happily continued, “Your family has a lot of connections. Moreover, you live in Sandfort City. I’m sure it won’t be hard for you to locate the divine doctor!” Emily felt too embarrassed to speak upon hearing those words as she had no clue. She couldn’t find any information on the divine doctor. Thus, she could feel her pride stinging from those words. It’s all that divine doctor’s fault, acting so secretively and refusing to give face to the Jackson Family.
Forcing a smile on her face, she awkwardly said, “I’m sorry, Hazel. My father has gone to Markovia for a business discussion. He isn’t home right now. I’m afraid I won’t be able to help you.”
Hazel let out a soft exclamation, looking very disappointed. “It’s okay. Thank you.”
After that, Hazel lowered her head dejectedly and parted ways with Emily. Meanwhile, Emily clenched her fists tightly. She could feel the pain in her palm, but her pride hurt even more!
Emily finished her piano practice and was about to ask Hazel to join her for dinner. However, she noticed that Hazel was no longer in the practice room. Sighing softly, she didn’t think too much about it as she left.
When she passed through the corridor, she accidentally heard somebody calling out her name from the room next door. Thus, she stopped walking and stood outside the door, listening in on the conversation between the staff.
“Why does Hazel look so downcast? It feels like something is wrong with her mood today!”
“What else could it be? Isn’t her father sick? It’s only natural that she is not in a good mood.”
“But, she told me a few days ago that somebody called Emily would help her find the divine doctor. Seeing how depressed she looks today, could it be that they couldn’t find the divine doctor?”
“Emily? Are you talking about that person from Sandfort City?”
“Yup, that’s her. It’s what Hazel told me herself!”
“Tsk. If it’s Emily, then she was most likely bluffing!”
“That’s right. I had a bad impression of her from the start. Last time, somebody found her scolding the cleaning lady in the restrooms!”
“No way! Is she such a terrible woman?”
“Putting aside the issue with her temperament, the key point is that she isn’t that talented. In any case, I think she is rather mediocre.”
“Yeah. The piano competition is coming up soon. Let’s see if she can make the Royal Academy of Music proud!”
Listening to the conversation inside the room, Emily clenched her fists tightly and gritted her teeth.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 504
At that moment, Emily was tempted to rush inside and beat up those gossiping busybodies. So what if I was bluffing or scolding the cleaning lady? These ugly trolls have no right to criticize me for that! Still, what is this competition they are talking about? Why didn’t Hilbert tell me about it? Her expression was full of doubt. It looks like I will have to ask Mr. Hilbert about it myself. As for those wagging tongues inside the room… Scolding them will only make me feel dirty.
Just as Emily was gritting her teeth with a furious expression, Hazel walked into the corridor and called out to her. Hazel walked over and asked puzzledly, “Emily, what are you doing?”
Emily seemed stunned for a moment, and the expression on her face was very unnatural. “N-Nothing! What is it?”
“Hilbert is calling you over to check on today’s homework.” Hazel’s voice was emotionless; it was hard to tell what she was feeling from the tone of her voice.
“Okay! I’ll go right now!” Emily hastened her pace and left that dangerous place. Right now, all she wanted to know about was the music competition they mentioned inside the room just now!
Meanwhile, Hazel watched Emily’s back hurrying away, and her eyes wavered involuntarily. Normally, one could still help to ask around for information even if one was out on a business trip. However, Emily had used that as an excuse to dodge the question. Thinking about it now, I was so stupid. Why did I believe her?!
Emily arrived outside the practice room where Hilbert was. She knocked on the door, and a low, solemn voice came from inside the room. “Enter!”
Taking a deep breath, she pushed the door open and walked in. The smile on her face immediately bloomed again at the sight of Hilbert. “Were you looking for me, Mr. Hilbert?”
Hilbert looked up and said sternly, “Yes. Perform the piece you learned today.”
Emily had to go through this routine at the Royal Academy of Music every day. She had to perform the piece she practiced that day in front of Hilbert, then modify it under his advice. That was the homework he gave them.
“Okay!” She nodded slightly as she sat down on the stool in front of the piano. Looking at him sitting on the sofa with a calm expression, she felt herself relaxing too. Then, she lowered her hands.
A beautiful melody slowly sounded. The entire room was so quiet that only her piano could be heard. When he heard her playing the middle portion of the song, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly and he nodded in satisfaction.
She secretly glanced at him, her expression becoming even more delighted and haughty. Mr. Hilbert nodded his head. That means my performance today went smoothly.
After that piece, she stood in front of him again. He raised his head and showered her with praise without holding back. “You have improved a lot. You’re doing better than Hazel.”
Emily pursed her lips and smiled at those words. This piece was one of Sweet Tune’s early works. She had made some adjustments to it during her performance today. I don’t believe Hilbert is so pleased with my performance with just a bit of tweaking!
“Still…” he paused for a moment. “The melody for the front portion and the back portion isn’t quite the same. I much prefer the middle portion!”
Upon hearing those words, she felt her heart sinking. Clasping her hands uncomfortably, she said, “I understand. I will improve on it!”
Even so, she was not happy. Why would Hilbert like the middle portion? That’s the part I didn’t change! Moreover, that’s the part written by Sweet Tune.
“Alright, you may leave.” The low and calm voice rang out again.
Emily frowned. She did not forget her goal today. Therefore, she mustered up her courage and asked, “Mr. Hilbert, I heard that there is going to be a piano competition soon. Is that true?”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 505
To be honest, what Emily truly wanted to ask was: “Between Hazel and myself, who would be joining the competition?” She was a selfish person—she wanted to participate in the competition herself. After all, Hilbert himself said that her current level was better than Hazel.
Hilbert was surprised. He did not expect her to know about this matter. Besides, he himself had forgotten about it. “That’s right! Moreover, this competition is very important. I hope you can devote yourself to it. When the time comes, I will send both you and Hazel to join the competition!” He paused before continuing sternly, “Still, there will only be one winner. That will depend on your efforts!”
“What?!” She stood up. “Both Hazel and I will join the competition?”
He nodded. “This is an international competition. Every country will send its representatives to participate in it. So, you know just how important this competition is!”
Upon hearing those words, she felt even more shocked. It’s an international competition?! If I win this competition, won’t I be able to stand at the top after that? Just thinking about that made her excited and nervous at the same time. If I can win the competition, everybody will have to treat me respectfully. Moreover, my name will be spread across the entire world! But, if everybody in the world can participate in it, then the competition will surely be very fierce. Pursing her lips, she looked at him and asked, “Mr. Hilbert, how do you think I will fare?”
“That’s hard to say. After all, I don’t even know who is participating in the competition!” He shook his head.
She nodded in disappointment after hearing those words. “I see!”
“Go back for now. Once I receive the list of participants, I will let you and Hazel know!” he added indifferently.
Since he already said so much, she couldn’t question him further. Thus, she could only nod compliantly and exit the practice room.
Hilbert studied Emily’s back as she left, his green eyes narrowing slightly. If I had to say, Emily isn’t that great, but she isn’t that bad either! It’s just that… there’s something strange about her. Her musical pieces often have two different styles; it’s very unstable. From the looks of it, it won’t be easy for her to win the competition for the Royal Academy of Music!
Early in the morning at the Lowry Residence, Janet finally woke up and got out of bed. She went to the bathroom to wash up before she lazily went downstairs.
Mason was downstairs. When he heard the sound of footsteps approaching, his gaze slowly shifted away from the newspaper and landed on her. He looked at her and asked, “Why are you up so early today?”
Her sleeping habits were determined by her biological clock—she would naturally wake up when the time came. However, during the time they had been living together, he would stuff her back into bed to sleep for a few more hours every time she wanted to get up earlier. Consequently, waking up late became part of her recent sleep-wake cycle. Therefore, he couldn’t help but find it strange that she woke up earlier today.
Ruffling her hair, she naturally sat down next to the man and turned toward him. “School is starting soon. There’s going to be a meet-up later!”
The man wrapped his arm around her waist when he heard those words. His other hand touched the tip of her nose lightly. “I don’t want you to go to school.”
She sighed, feeling extremely exasperated. I knew he would say something like that.
“But… I come back every day after school!” Janet’s tone was very relaxed and natural. I don’t understand what this man is so worried about. Although I quite like being together with him, isn’t there the saying, ‘absence makes the heart grow fonder’? If we’re stuck together all the time, I’m sure he will get sick and tired of me!
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 506
Janet was just thinking about it when Mason suddenly said, “But… I want to be with you all the time…”
As soon as she heard that, the corners of her mouth twitched. I was just thinking about it, and he immediately said it out loud. Could this be a telepathic connection?
“But…” She paused for a moment and deliberately said, “But, I don’t like clingy men!”
He did not believe her. He rubbed his head against her neck. The scent of shower gel merged with her unique scent to form a faint fragrance. It was a very comfortable and soothing scent.
“I know you’re saying that on purpose!” He lightly bit the tender flesh on her neck, his actions seemingly carrying a hint of punishment in them.
She said nothing. I can’t hide anything from him nowadays. “That’s enough!” She felt extremely helpless. “Can you let go of me? I’m going to leave in a bit. My friends are waiting for me.”
When he heard her saying that, he seemed to have no intention of letting her go. Instead, he went one step further and said, “I need to put my mark on you first. That way, everybody else will not covet you since they know that you have a boyfriend.”
She said nothing. How exasperating! Put his mark on me?! If he did that, I’ll have to wear a turtle-neck in this hot weather!
Just as Janet was feeling very desperate, Sean shouted from the door of the living room. “Young Master Mason, the car is ready! It’s time to leave for work!”
When Janet heard that, she reacted as if she was clutching at straws and pushed against the man’s shoulder with all her might. “Let go! Let go! Sean is going to come in!”
After listening to Sean yelling several times from outside, Mason couldn’t continue lingering around and refusing to leave. Thus, he reluctantly released her.
As soon as she got her freedom, she immediately fled upstairs. This man is already being so indecent so early in the morning. He nearly led me astray…
On the other hand, Black Python, White Python, and Red Python felt very depressed for quite some time when they learned that Janet was going back to school soon.
“Sigh. Once Miss Jackson goes back to school, we’ll have to go back to Markovia again.”
“That’s right. The only reason we could return from Markovia was to protect Miss Jackson during her summer break. Now that school is starting, we’ll have to leave again!”
“Sigh. Let’s be content with what we have. Young Master Mason is only in a good mood because Miss Jackson has been around recently. His true colors will come out again once she leaves.”
“Black Python, what you said kind of makes sense!”
“Hahaha. It’s no loss for us if we head to Markovia right now. At the very least, we won’t have to face Young Master Mason, the King of Hell!”
Suddenly, a low and cold voice came from behind Black Python, White Python, and Red Python. “Who is the King of Hell?”
Black Python smiled and reflexively answered, “It’s Young—”
Hmm? Something is wrong. Why does that voice sound so familiar? He turned his head and felt his mind going blank at the sight—Mason was standing there with his arms crossed in front of his chest. His expression was extremely dark, and the aura around him was so cold that it was terrifying.
“You don’t need to go back to Markovia. Africa will suit you better!” Mason coldly said before walking out of the living room and entering the car.
Black Python, White Python, and Red Python were rendered speechless by his words. We didn’t say anything wrong, right? Once Miss Jackson goes back to school, Young Master Mason will surely show his true colors again… We’ve been protecting Miss Jackson for two months now. Although we didn’t do anything, it’s still hard work too! Does he have to be so quick-tempered to send us coal-mining without any warning?!
Meanwhile, Janet finished changing and instantly asked the butler to send her to the airport.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 507
The Beasts also arrived at Sandfort City’s airport on time. They had nothing to do during the two months of summer break. Therefore, they took the initiative to propose the idea of going to Markovia. They changed a lot after coming back from their trip—so much so that Janet nearly couldn’t recognize them when she saw them. Not only did they become a lot stronger physically, but they also became very tanned from the sun.
Meanwhile, Abby and Gordon were waiting for Janet and the rest at the place they agreed on in advance.
Inside the Imperial Hall Restaurant, Janet walked into the VIP room that had been reserved in advance. As soon as she entered the room, she saw Abby and Gordon staring at each other affectionately.
Dexter cleared his throat awkwardly before walking into the room.
Surprised, Abby immediately turned her head to look in their direction. When she saw Janet and the other four standing at the door, her face flushed beet-red.
The corners of Janet’s mouth turned upward. The relationship between these two is progressing pretty quickly. I wonder what happened during the summer break.
“Janet.” Abby immediately stood up and took Janet’s hand before sitting down again.
Janet lightly raised her eyebrows at Abby and teasingly asked, “Were we disturbing the two of you?”
In response, Gordon covered his mouth and coughed dryly. He said in a low voice, “I need to go to the restroom.”
On the other hand, Abby stomped her feet angrily. “Why are you making fun of me, Janet?! Still, you’ve gotten prettier and prettier recently!” She sighed softly. “Is it because you’ve been sticking to your boyfriend every day that you’ve been well-nourished by love?”
Janet pinched Abby’s nose and furrowed her eyebrows. “How dare you make fun of me!”
While they were talking, the waiter walked into the room and handed the menu to Janet. Janet took the menu and passed it to the Beasts. “Take a look and see what you want to eat.”
The Beasts nodded and began ordering while Janet chattered away with Abby.
“Janet, I can’t believe you applied for three majors! I’m so envious!” Abby still felt very excited whenever she recalled the day of their application exam. After all, it was hard enough for most people to study one major. Even so, Janet had applied for three! What was even more unbelievable was that the school had permitted it! It was an unprecedented move! Janet will be developing in all aspects!
Janet took a sip of tea and smiled without saying anything. A few seconds later, she asked slowly but lightly, “What about you? What major did you apply for?”
“Um…” Abby scratched her head, seeming to be very conflicted about something. “Literature perhaps.”
When Luke and Leo heard those words, they looked up from the menu in unison and exclaimed in surprise, “Abby, doesn’t the department of literature require a minimum of 700 points?”
That was something they remembered when they glanced through the list of majors back then.
“Yes, that’s right.” Abby nodded. “But, my father said he will talk to the dean for me. I don’t know anything else aside from that.”
“Talk to the dean?” What is the relationship between your father and the dean?” Abby’s words had attracted Tyler and Dexter’s attention.
“I don’t know.” She pouted and shook her head.
Janet lifted her eyebrows slightly in surprise. This girl might be from a wealthy family.
While they were conversing, Gordon pushed open the door and came in. He walked over to his seat and stroked Abby’s head as he sat down. “What were you guys talking about?”
Abby blinked and responded cutely, “It’s nothing. We were just talking about our majors.”
Gordon nodded and said nothing more.
“Oh. yeah!” Janet lifted her gaze, looked at Gordon, and asked, “Have you decided to study music?”
“That’s right.” Gordon nodded. “I think it suits me best.”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 508
Gordon was not like Janet, who could do anything. Speaking of music, he suddenly remembered something. Looking up after the sudden realization, he turned to Janet and said, “Janet, have you seen the news from the Music Association?”
“The Music Association?” Janet looked up and asked absent-mindedly, “What happened?”
He sighed. “Yobril recently announced that it’s going to host the annual piano conference. Every country has to send two representatives to Yobril to participate.” He paused for a moment. “In any case, one of them is sure to be you. Don’t try and run away from this.”
Thinking back to that time, Janet had participated in the first-ever piano competition and took the first prize back to Markovia with her. However, she did not participate in the competition last year. Thus, Gordon entered the competition instead and took fourth place.
Janet fell silent for several minutes after hearing what he said. Yobril’s piano competition? I’m sure Emily will be participating in it. After all, I know that Hilbert brought her back to Yobril so that she could become the representative for their country. If Emily wins the competition, it will signify that Yobril is the winner of the competition. That’s not the result Sandfort City’s Music Association will want to see.
“I didn’t see the news.” Her beautiful eyes narrowed. “If I get chosen, then I’ll just go with the flow.”
Meanwhile, Abby blinked, not understanding what they were talking about. All she knew was that they were talking about participating in some sort of piano competition. I might not know what this piano competition is about, but isn’t a piano competition only for people who can play the piano? Why is Gordon asking Janet to go? Unless… Janet can play the piano? Thus, she glanced at Janet in confusion and asked, “Janet, can you play the piano too?”
Janet pursed her lips and nodded. “A little bit.”
Upon hearing those words, Gordon nearly fell to his knees in despair. What do you mean by ‘a little bit’?! Is Sweet Tune Guru’s reputation a joke?! Are all bigshots this humble?!
Abby smiled, and her dimple made her look extremely adorable. “You’re amazing, Janet!” Janet can do everything! She is so incredible! Still, I’ve known Janet for a year now. I can’t believe I only learned that she can play the piano after so long. When it comes down to it, I’ve been too narrow-minded! If I have the chance, I would like to see Janet playing the piano!
“Let’s eat. The food is getting cold.” Janet pushed the dishes over to Abby.
“Okay! I saw the online reviews claiming that the food here is pretty good. Let’s taste it!”
At 8 PM that night, a black Maybach parked in front of Imperial Hall Restaurant. A man wearing a black shirt slowly got out of the car. The shirt vaguely exposed the red marks on his neck. His thin lips were lightly pursed, and he was enveloped in a considerably cold aura. Walking over to the front counter, he asked the receptionist something before heading upstairs.
The receptionist had an idiotic look on her face as she absent-mindedly answered the questions. Looking at the man’s back, she exclaimed, “Did you see that?! That man is so handsome!”
“D*mn! He’s so tall too! He looks like he is around 1.9 meters tall!”
“F*ck; if only I could be that man’s girlfriend.”
On the other side, the little reunion was coming to a close. Thus, Abby suggested that she and Gordon send Janet home while the Beasts went back by themselves. To their surprise, Janet smiled and shook her head. “It’s okay. I’ve already asked somebody to pick me up.”
Abby was stunned for a moment before a realization hit her. She wiggled her eyebrows ambiguously and cheekily said, “Oh? Is it your boyfriend?”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 509
A faint smile flashed across Janet’s face. Even so, it was enough for Abby to notice it. She joked playfully, “Hehe. I haven’t met your boyfriend yet even though I’ve known you for so long.”
She was rather curious about the man that Janet had fallen in love with. After all, she had not met any man that could match up to Janet as far as she knew.
At that moment, the door of the room flew open suddenly. Janet, Abby, and Gordon glanced in the direction of the door. On the other hand, the man’s enchanting eyes narrowed as he swiftly caught sight of the person he was looking for. He lazily walked over to Janet, and the corners of his mouth curved up slightly. “It’s time to go home.”
Abby stared at Mason for a very long time. She couldn’t help feeling that the man seemed familiar. However, she couldn’t figure out why he seemed familiar until something flashed through her mind… She shrieked and covered her mouth, looking at Janet in shock. “I-Is this your boyfriend?!” Janet’s boyfriend is a bigshot… as well as a giant in the business world!
On the other hand, Gordon was obviously much calmer compared to Abby, who was extremely shocked. He narrowed his eyes. Although he was shocked, he also felt that it was reasonable. What shocked him was that he never expected Janet’s boyfriend to be the president of the Lowry Family Conglomerate. Even so, he felt that it was reasonable since Janet was such an outstanding person. Therefore, the partner she found would surely be exceptional too.
In response to Abby’s question, Janet simply nodded slightly and made a non-committal sound in reply.
Mason wrapped his left arm around Janet’s slim waist, his charming eyes lowering to look at her. He asked in a quiet voice, “Are these your friends?”
“Yes.” A cold and quiet voice rang out.
“Nice to meet you. I’m Janet’s boyfriend.” His expression was very faint as he tried his best to control his facial expression. He did not want to give these people a bad impression, lest he affected Janet’s friendships.
Meanwhile, Abby was taken aback for a while. She shook Mason’s hand and stuttered, “I-I’m Janet’s friend. My name is Abby Shaw.”
She was somewhat at a loss for what to do. As a result, she held his hand for a long time without realizing that she was still holding his hand. Gordon frowned slightly and pursed his thin lips; nobody knew what he was thinking inside. A short while later, he slowly spoke up. “My name is Gordon Yaleman.”
After the two of them finished introducing themselves, Mason pulled his hand away and expressionlessly made a non-committal sound in reply. Abby stared at her empty hand for a moment, then her face flushed bright red. How embarrassing! I can’t believe I was holding Janet’s boyfriend’s hand for so long! I swear it wasn’t intentional!
“Janet, Gordon and I will take our leave. We won’t bother you guys anymore!” She was embarrassed beyond belief—so much so that she wanted to burrow herself into the ground from the shame.
“Okay.” Janet smiled. There was laughter in her voice and she didn’t seem to think that anything was wrong.
After that, Abby grabbed Gordon’s hand and walked out to the corridor outside the room. Patting her chest, she exclaimed in shock, “I can’t believe Janet’s boyfriend turned out to be somebody from the Lowry Family.”
That’s so unbelievable! That’s somebody one can only see in the newspapers! He holds the greatest authority in Asia! Although I don’t know what that entails, it must be pretty amazing from the sound of it. Still, Janet is great at art and racing. She is also the overall top scorer of the college entrance exams. In any case, they are a great match for each other. She was delighted that Janet had found her happiness. Just as she was thinking those thoughts, a cold and resentful voice rang out.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 510
“You held that man’s hand for a long time just now.”
Upon hearing those words, Abby froze slightly. She raised her eyes and looked at Gordon with a puzzled gaze. He even noticed something like that… She pouted and blushed. “I didn’t notice. It wasn’t on purpose!”
“Is that so?” Gordon raised an eyebrow at her. Taking advantage of her unpreparedness, he grabbed her small hand tightly. “You don’t even take the initiative to hold my hand.”
She lowered her head at those words, blushing so hard that even her ears were red. Her heart was pounding chaotically as she stuttered, “I-It’s late… L-Let’s go home…”
The corners of his lips curved as he gave a low laugh. Then, he dragged her across the corridor and stopped at the empty stairwell…
Inside the VIP room at this moment, Mason frowned and picked up a napkin from the table to wipe his hands. The aura around him was freezing.
Janet narrowed her eyes and couldn’t help chuckling. “If you don’t like being touched, why did you shake hands with her?”
This man suffered from a mild case of mysophobia. It was to the point where he felt uncomfortable shaking hands with strangers.
“For you.” He pretended to be friendly with her friends so that her friendship with them would not become strained. If he had hastily slapped her friend’s hand away just now, it would have turned into an awkward situation.
Upon hearing those words, she withdrew her gaze and tugged at his shirt. She felt her mood becoming better. “Let’s go home.”
“Hmm.” His large hand enveloped her small hand as they walked out together.
As they were passing through the corridor, Janet suddenly heard Abby’s voice. It was a very soft and slight voice. Following that, she heard a suspicious gasp. The corners of her mouth curved upward, but she didn’t walk over. Instead, she pulled Mason by the hand to take the elevator.
When the two of them came downstairs, a wave of discussion swept across the front desk suddenly.
“Oh, God! It’s that man! He’s coming down!”
“D*mn. You weren’t lying. He truly is handsome!”
“I’ll be honest with you; I wish he were my husband!”
“I really want to go and ask for his number!”
“Go on then! Don’t be a coward!”
All of a sudden, their discussion stopped abruptly. That was because they noticed that a woman was walking behind the man. Moreover, they were holding hands as they walked, one in front of the other.
“D*mn! That girl is so beautiful!”
“Hey, that girl looks rather familiar! But, I can’t remember where I’ve seen her before!”
“What a beautiful couple! Looks like I don’t have a chance.”
“Ugh, I’m so heartbroken!”
Meanwhile, Janet lazily walked out of the restaurant. When she saw the car parked by the roadside, she got in and closed the door behind her. After she got into the car, she realized that Sean was there too. Thus, she felt bad for making him wait there for so long.
Sean glanced in the rearview mirror and asked, “Where to, Young Master Mason?”
The distinct outline of Mason’s face looked more profound at night. His voice was very faint too. “The Lowry Residence.”
Inside the car, Janet leaned her head against the window and played with her phone for a while. However, her head that was leaning against the window suddenly found itself pressing against a man’s chest for some reason.
His voice was filled with laughter as he said, “Babe, rest in my arms.”
Janet looked up, and her gaze landed on his slightly open shirt. There were several red marks against his tanned skin—those were the marks she left on him yesterday. For that reason, she immediately became upset when she recalled the exclamations of the receptionists from before. Exposing himself to the world…
