After Being Cheating
Chapter 187 I Just Want You to Teach Me How to Cook

The following day, Janet asked a real estate agent to help her replace a house.

They viewed many houses, but Janet didn't want to rent any of them. The real estate agent became impatient and said, "Do you think you can get a good house with just a little money?" The agent then pointed at a high-end apartment across the road and said, "Look at that. The house rent is 8, 000 per month. Will you rent it?"

8, 000? Janet really wanted to tell the agent that 8, 000 wasn't that expensive.

But now she didn't have 8, 000 with her.

At last, the agent took Janet back to the house they viewed just now. The house had a bedroom and a living room.

Janet chose it not because it was cheap, but because it was clean and new.

The house rent was 1, 000 per month. There was a bed, a wardrobe, and a desk inside. The house covered an area of less than 50 square meters.

The agency fee was 1, 000 dollars. Janet negotiated with the owner of the house for a long while. The owner finally agreed that she could pay a month's rent first.

Janet then went to the supermarket and bought herself a new four-piece bedding set, which was the cheapest one she could replace. However, she was unable to sleep that night. Her whole body itched...

On the third day, Janet needed to go to work since she and the manager had made an agreement before. She dressed up and left the neighborhood.

The neighborhood was just a private housing community in an urban village. It wasn't even a standard neighborhood.

When she looked over her shoulder at the two-story house, Janet was distressed.

She missed her family again.

However, she was fortunate because she met a nice female manager.

When the manager learned that Janet was pregnant, she asked her to get some rest from time to time.

Janet tried her best to make a lot of desserts. After the manager tasted the desserts, she reported to their boss and helped Janet apply for better remuneration and treatment.

Janet only had worked for two days, but her salary was increased to 5, 000 per month. She was also treated like a regular employee.

After a week, Janet asked the manager to come to her and spoke with embarrassment, "Miss Rita, I have no money with me now, so I want to get the salary I earned these days in advance."

In fact, she had spent all her money yesterday, but she was embarrassed and dared not tell the manager.

After Rita Wan heard this, she took 2, 000 out of her purse and put them in Janet's hand.

"There is a rule in our company that new employees can't ask for their salary in advance. I can lend you some money, and you can return it when you receive your salary," said Rita. Janet looked at the money in her hand, her eyes filling with tears.

She then wiped her tears away and said to Rita, "Thank you, Miss Rita." She badly needed the money. She wasn't pretending to be pitiful.

"It doesn't matter. You try your best to work hard here. There are many customers who return to our shop because of you, so I'll tell our boss about this and help you apply for more benefits." Rita patted Janet on the shoulder, but she found that Janet looked a little familiar.

She didn't remember where she had met Janet, so she stopped thinking about it.

At about seven o'clock in the evening, Janet came off duty, but without her phone and computer, she could only get back to her little house and lay in bed, staring at the ceiling.

When she touched her lower abdomen which was still flat, Janet sat up because she felt nauseated again.

She went to the bathroom, but couldn't vomit anything.

Recently, she was always buying cheap, greasy food to eat outside. She was getting sick of eating such food. Janet thought that she could buy some cooking utensils and try to learn how to cook. She decided to start right now, so she got out of bed and went to the supermarket.

The supermarket was the only largest shop in the urban village, but there were all kinds of products in it.

Remembering the cooking utensils in the kitchen of her mansion, Janet bought all of them.

Thus, she spent several hundred dollars this time.

At night, an embarrassed Janet and knocked on an adjacent room's door. Later, a man in his twenties opened the door.

He wore a clean, blue shirt, a pair of suit pants, and a pair of brand new leather shoes.

His face was as good-looking and clean as Janet's, incompatible with the surroundings here.

His expression on his face reminded Janet of Daniel and his indifference...

"Who are you looking for?" The man flatly asked her, with vigilance gleaming in his dark eyes.

Janet came back to her senses and politely spoke, "Hi. Are there any women in your house?"

The man frowned and was about to close the door. Janet immediately explained, "I just wanted to ask if there is someone who can cook."

In general, women always cooked for the family. And that was why she asked him that just now.

The man, who was about to close the door, stopped and replied without hesitation, "No."

"Well, do you know how to cook?" asked Janet. Since she was asking too much, the man was becoming impatient.

"Go ahead if you have something to say, " he said.

Janet immediately held his wrist and took him to her house.

Caspar Qiao put Janet's arms behind her back by reflex and stared at Janet who wasn't afraid of him. With a malicious expression glimmering in his eyes, "Who are you? Be honest. Otherwise, I will kill you!" he said.

Janet raised her chin and pointed at the cooking utensils and the bag of rice on the ground not far away from them. "Can you teach me how to cook rice?" she asked.

...

After he looked at her carefully again, Caspar released her and said, "You figured out that I live here. Tell me. Who asked you to look for me?"

There were many women who got close to him on purpose, so he had to be more cautious.

"No one asked me to look for you. I just want you to teach me how to cook," said Janet.

Looking at his doubting eyes, Janet swung her aching arm and put her right hand on her lower abdomen, saying, "I'm pregnant, so how can I harm you?"

Caspar kept staring at her and wondered if she was just a pregnant woman who didn't know how to cook. Judging by his years of experience of checking people, he concluded that this woman was a rich, young lady who never did any housework.

But he wondered why the rich, young lady lived here.

Although he had a lot of doubts about her, Caspar didn't ask her and just remained vigilant. And then he said, "Wash those cooking utensils."

Wash them...

Janet began to look at the two sets of clothes in the wash basin. She just took them off and threw them there, without even washing them.

She finally rolled up her sleeves, put all of the cooking utensils under the tap, and started washing them.

However, she didn't buy a brush, nor did she have any detergent...

Caspar was restless and was about to turn around to leave her room. When Janet saw that he was about to leave, she immediately walked up to him and stopped him. "I'm washing the utensils now. Would you please be patient?" she said.

Caspar saw something on Janet's neck by chance, so he stared at it and grasped the bead on her neck, trying to carefully check what it was.

But Janet seized the bead from him and put it into her pocket. This time, she was vigilant and looked at him, shouting, "What are you doing?"

She was robbed the last time, so Janet was afraid that he would take away her bead. She protected her neck and the bead with her wet hands. This bead was worth several hundred millions and above all, it was Daniel who gave her the bead. Caspar stared at her seriously and asked in a low voice, "How did you get the bead?"00000☐☐☐☐☐☐
