Janelle rolled her eyes at Yasmine. After a moment of silence, she said softly, “Just stay away from me
in the future.”
“Sure, no problem!” The whole class were looking at them, but Yasmine nodded without feeling
embarrassed at all.
After a while, Yasmine stuttered, “But… can I ask for a favor?”
“No wonder she was being so humble just now!” Cindy stepped forward and stood in front of Janelle’s
desk, “Are you trying to play a trick on Janelle?”
Yasmine frowned and was about to lose her temper. However, she managed to control her temper and
forced a smile. “I’m serious and I’m not fooling around!”
Janelle stretched out her hand and grabbed Yasmine’s arm. She stood up, looked at her, and asked,
“What are you trying to say?”

Yasmine tried to speak, but couldn’t because her classmates were looking at them. She bit her lips and
asked softly, “Janelle, can we talk outside?”
Janelle nodded. Both of them went out of the classroom together.
Larna wanted to follow them, but was pulled and stopped by someone from behind.
She turned back and saw Cindy rolling her eyes. “Don’t go along for the ride!”
After school, Janelle leaned against the kitchen door when she reached home. She was watching her
father busy cooking in an apron.
Franklin glanced at his daughter and asked. “Have you finished your homework?”
“I have finished all my homework in school.” Janelle frowned and replied proudly. “Don’t you know that
your daughter is a scholar?”
“Then do some study.” Franklin raised his spatula while speaking.
“I’ll go in a while!” Janelle replied coquettishly.
Franklin smiled and asked, “Is something bothering you?”
Since Jacob returned home, everything had gone smoothly and Franklin no longer felt depressed. So,
if Janelle had any request that was not out of line, Franklin would always agree with her.
“Nothing.” Janelle frowned.
She pursed her lips and asked again, “By the way, when will Jacob come back?”
“Oh, so you’re looking for your brother…” Franklin shook his head lightly.
“What are you two talking about?” Suzie asked.
Franklin waved at his wife. “Don’t come in. There is a lot of smoke in the kitchen. If you want to say
something, just say it at the door.”
“I thought you’ve turned on the range hood.” Suzie smiled sweetly while putting her arms around
Janelle. “Kevin called just now. He wants to invite our family to dinner.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Invite us to dinner?” Franklin frowned. “Inviting us for no reason… Uh, we’re relatives, so it’s normal
that we should have dinner together.”
Franklin quickly changed his answer when he saw his wife staring at him.
Besides, he’s just a cousin. I have a son, so I shouldn’t be afraid of anything! Franklin was secretly
proud of Jacob.
“Humph, good for you!” Suzie rolled her eyes at her husband.
After sending Heidi back home, Jacob drove back to Rowan Lane.
Janelle greeted him warmly as soon as he entered the hall. She couldn’t stop refilling Jacob’s bowl
while they were eating. Franklin was jealous of Jacob at that moment.
After dinner, Jacob called his sister to the yard.
He looked up at the sky and smiled. He then touched Janelle’s hair. “Tell me, what do you want me to
do?”
“Actually…it’s just a very small matter!” Janelle blinked. “The two men in the bar that day…”
“Did they look for you?” Jacob’s eyes flashed with anger.
