After Being Cheating

Chapter 83 Never Stepping a Foot in the Kitchen

Although Janet hadn't spoken out his name, Samuel and his wife somehow knew who she was talking

about.

"Jane, if you love him so much then just go and get him. But don't be as stupid as I was when I was

young, I loved your dad a lot, and grabbing the opportunity when he was drunk, I entered his room and

made him furious!" Ella recalled their story and gazed at the man with angry eyes.

Samuel coughed, and said, "Sweetheart, don't mention what we did all those years ago." He always

felt he was lucky because Ella was dedicated. He had a happy family now.

Ella smiled and kept instructing her daughter. "What I mean is that you can try your best to grasp

Daniel. But don't be stupid and do wrong things which aren't in accord with your personality and status,

because then he might later look down on you."

Wasn't this stupid? Did her mother refer to what they had already done?

Janet was shy and Daniel was proactive! But she didn't dare tell this to her parents.

She nodded tactfully, and said, "OK, dad and mom. I know what you mean now."

OK. The first step she needed to do was to say sorry to Daniel. Afterwards, she would make him her

boyfriend.

But meanwhile she had to deal with Kate. And how could she?

While Janet was getting more and more worried, Samuel asked again "Sally said that Daniel had made

a proposal, but you rejected it. Is that true?"

"Yes, it was because... I was sad. So I rejected him." Janet didn't dare to tell her parents the true

reasons behind her rejection.

Ella looked at her daughter quietly, and then said, "You liked him before but rejected his proposal. I

think that's why Daniel is so angry and is still with Kate!"

'But if Daniel already proposed to her that means that he could still be interested in her.'

"No, mom; he became Kate's boyfriend first, and then proposed. He wanted to have two girlfriends at

the same time. That's why he proposed!" What kind of person was Daniel, having two girlfriends at the

same time?

The three of them talked about this but could reach no concluding answer.

It was almost December and it was cold outside. Janet put a jacket on her when she got out of the car.

'It's cold outside! Should I cook a soup for Daniel to warm him up?' thought Janet.

'They say that the way to win a man's heart is to first win his stomach.'

Her parents were very good at cooking, and so was her brother. But she... knew little about cooking.

'Is it too late to learn how to cook?' she pondered.

"Mom!" Janet stopped Ella on the staircase just before reaching the second floor.

Ella turned around.

"Teach me how to make soup!" Janet was so serious that Ella seemed to be doubtful of her. She

looked at Samuel and immediately knew what she wanted to do.

Samuel said "No! How could my daughter ever cook for a man!"

Jane hadn't even cooked for him!

Looking at her husband, Ella smiled, and said, "Do you really want to learn?"

"Yes, dad! I'll cook for you when I learn!" She was already good at making all sorts desserts and

cookies, and so she would also acquire cooking skills soon.

Samuel gazed at his daughter, and said, "My daughter, you won't ever need to enter the kitchen

because I'll cook for you instead!"

Jane had been carefully raised by him. She would forever be his sweet little daughter who wasn't

allowed to make any sort of compromise for any other man, ever.

Ella looked at her husband, and said, "Samuel, shouldn't I cook? Am I not your sweetheart?"

Oops! Samuel hastily held his wife in arms, and then said, "Of course, of course you are. You're good

at cooking. I once asked you not to enter the kitchen, but you insist!"

After acquiring the cooking skills, especially after his retirement, Samuel had asked his wife never to

enter the kitchen again.

But Ella had always told herself that "Happiness means to cook for her beloved man."

'Is Jane thinking the same as me now? Well, that's good!' Ella got rid of Samuel and then took Jane

into the kitchen. "OK. Let me teach you how to cook now."

Janet was happy, and she took off her jacket and instead put on an apron...

There were several screaming sounds coming from the kitchen then. Finally, Samuel couldn't stand it

anymore and opened the door.

Ella stood by Samuel's side and took many deep breaths.

"What's happened?"

Ella shook her hand "Nevermind. I can't understand why you daughter hasn't inherited our cooking

genes. Janet was about to blow out our kitchen!"

In that moment, they heard a loud sound. Boom!

"Oh! Something sounded like it exploded!"

They two parents rushed to the kitchen to see it had turned into a complete mess!

Ella's porcelain soup pot had exploded. But luckily for Janet she was safe, because she was looking for

other ingredients in the refrigerator.

Samuel went to put out the fire while Ella looked at her daughter up and down. "Jane, are you OK?"

she asked.

"Yes, mom. I was at the refrigerator."

...

Janet was then cast out of the kitchen by Ella. From that day on she, the girl who could make a soup

pot explode, was forbidden from ever entering the kitchen again.

Janet sat miserably on the sofa while her parents cleared up the mess in the kitchen.

From time to time, she could hear something like "What's this? Why can't it be cleaned up?"

"Why are so many eggs cracked open?"

"Janet, you're never stepping a foot in the kitchen from now on!" Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

"Next step is to find you an excellent cook boyfriend."

"Janet, don't be silly and be Daniel's girlfriend. Your sworn mother told me he can't cook a thing. If you

ever start a family, you're doomed to starve to death because of your poor cooking skills!"

Janet replied "Dad, don't worry. Even if it were so, we could hire numerous cooks."

"That's right, but that's only because Daniel is rich enough to hire numerous cooks! No common man

would hire cooks for you!" Samuel was mumbling while he was mopping the floor.

"Dad, you said that you'll take care of me all of your life! And now you want to leave me hanging just

because I almost blew the kitchen up?"

'Father is so realistic; I'm really helpless.'

"OK, OK. I'll take care of you! I've taken care of you all these years. If you ever marry a poor man, I will

hire you a cook!"

...

"Dad, could you wish for me something a little bit nicer?" Janet mumbled.

'Alas! How stupid I am! Janet, Janet... how can you save your love?' she pondered.

Janet then ran to the kitchen, like she was suddenly inspired. "Mother, could you teach how to cook a

fried dish? It's OK and you don't need to worry about any pot bombings!"

Ella stopped sweeping the kitchen floor for a few moments, and said, "Janet, I strongly suggest to cook

some cookies instead. Because you know how to make cookies and desserts. If Daniel really loves

you, he'll be happy to enjoy the cookies you know how to make, not the dishes or soups that you

don't!"
