If It's Not Me

Chapter 65 Jealous Janice

At the sight of Janice's adorable look, Daniel's lips unconsciously curved into a smile, and he nodded as he said, "Sure." "Great! I'll go get it!" After she received his approval, her face lit up as she jumped in joy, looking just like a little girl. Soon, she returned with a bottle of wine and two wine glasses. However, she did not return to her original seat opposite him. Instead, she sat beside him. She opened the bottle, and they filled their wine glasses up with the liquid, each half full.00 The two made a toast and chatted about random topics after each of them took a sip. "Thanks, Daniel. I wouldn't know what to do tonight without you. By the way, how did you know I was here?" "I was about to bring Denise to visit you." "Oh, okay." Janice nodded while she looked at his sculpted features through her peripheral vision.Under the dimly lit lights, his features appeared to be sharper, and his eyes deeper. She fell into a trance from staring at him. How did I not notice how good-looking he was before? At this moment, she remembered something and asked, "Oh, right. Did you bring Denise to the neighborhood of Waterfront Manor? And you met up with Miss Morales, right?" After she said all that, Janice narrowed her eyes in displeasure, appearing to be a wife who was questioning her husband's whereabouts at this moment. "How did you know that?" Daniel was taken aback by her interrogative demeanor. He did not know that Denise and Janice had talked over a video call before this. His response made her unhappy. She pursed her red lips and said, "Tsk. Are you close to Miss Morales? I even saw you teach her some combat skills. The both of you stood so close to each other." She didn't realize how jealous she sounded right now.On the other hand, Daniel smiled as he found Janice's jealousy adorable. She was usually a rational woman, and it was his first time seeing this side of her, which reminded him of Denise. "Why are you smiling?!" When she saw him smile, she couldn't help but question him in feigned anger. If she were to look into the mirror right now, she would be able to see how much she resembled a resentful wife. "You don't think something is going on between Laskarina and me, do you?" He suppressed his smile and asked. "Who knows? The both of you were standing quite close to each other. Have you forgotten the promise you made to me when I signed the contract?" Janice whined. The sight of Laskarina and Daniel together made her upset whenever she thought about it. He couldn't help but grin brightly when he heard her words as he explained, "There's nothing between us." Then, he explained that it was merely a coincidence that they met Laskarina, who was practicing Battle Fist at that time. As an experienced soldier, he just gave her some advice by the side. Despite this, Janice still did not trust him completely, asking, "Really? Then, why did you go to the neighborhood of Waterfront Manor?" "Because…" After he pondered the matter for a moment, he said, "Because I bought a house there." "What?" Janice was shocked to her core by his words. When she realized she had lost her composure, she quickly lowered her voice, but bewilderment was still written all over her face. "Even I can't afford a house there. Where did you get so much money?" "I've been a soldier for many years, and there are many scars on my body. I have just enough money to buy a house there with all the compensation I get." Daniel made up a random excuse. Otherwise, he did not know how he should explain why he was around Waterfront Manor. Nevertheless, Janice looked at Daniel in a different light after hearing his words. He owns a mansion, but he is here, interviewing for a job that pays only a few thousand dollars a month. So this proves that he truly loves kids and is not here just for the money, right?
