His hand was on her head, and Janice did not squirm anymore. She felt that Christopher was a little strange today. Usually, he was not so dominant.
"What other food do you want to eat? I’m treating tonight.", Christopher said.
Janice was just about to say that he didn’t need to, but Christopher had already called the waiter over and gave him so instructions.
Soon, a large serving of beef was brought over.
Christopher placed the at on the grill. When the at was cooked, he served it directly in front of Janice.
"This Kobe beef just got flown in from Japan. Have a try."
As he spoke, he picked up a piece on a fork and fed it in front of Janice.
Janice stared at the delicious looking beef and felt a little embarrassed. After all, they were not the only ones here, Yvonne and Benjamin were watching them.
Wasn’t this too intimate?
"Well... put it down first. I can eat it myself."
Christopher didn’t seem to want to let it go so Janice had no choice but to take a bite of the at.
"How is it? Do you like it?"
Looking into Christopher’s eyes, Janice nodded in embarrassnt.
Only then did Christopher smile.
Looking at their intimate behavior, Benjamin couldn’t stand it anymore.
He said, "I have sothing else to do, so I have to go first. Tonight’s al is on ."
With that said, he called the waiter over.
"Bill, please"
The waiter cast a respectful glance at Christopher’s face and said, "Mr. Bateman has already paid for this table."
Benjamin was stunned. He didn’t expect him to be one step ahead of him. He was very upset, but he kept his wallet silently.
"Then let’s have another al so other day. It’ll be my treat, Mr. Bateman."
Christopher didn’t even bat an eyelid.
Benjamin felt extrely embarrassed and got up. "Enjoy the rest of the evening."
As he spoke, he glanced at Janice. When he saw that she ignored him, he walked
with disappointnt towards the door.
Seeing Benjamin leave, Yvonne naturally did not want to stay as a third wheel. She said to Janice, "Janice, I just rembered that I had sothing to do in the hospital, so I’m leaving too."
Without waiting for Janice’s reply, Yvonne got up and followed Benjamin out.
Janice frowned as she stared at Yvonne’s departing figure. When she turned her head back and t Christopher’s gaze, she looked away guiltily.
However, Christopher stared at her and frowned. "Why didn’t you call when you saw earlier?"
Janice pretended innocence. "I didn’t see you."
"Is that so?" Christopher curled his lips. "Then what’s going on with these text ssages?"
As he spoke, he showed her the text from Daniel’s phone. Janice was stunned and embarrassed. "You... you know."
Christopher put away the phone and snorted, "I didn’t know that I was such a dishonest person in my wife’s eyes."
Janice was a little frightened by his words. After all, her suspicion was one thing, but now he was saying it out loud.
However, she didn’t think there was anything wrong with her suspicions. She retorted, "Isn’t that the case?"
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a hard flick on her forehead.
"Ouch!" She felt a faint pain on her forehead. Janice reached out and covered her forehead with her hand. "What’s that for?"
Christopher secretly gnashed his teeth.
"What are you thinking about all day long? Can’t you think about sothing normal? Or do reporters like you, like to complicate and imagine things."
Christopher stared at her speechlessly.
...
Janice continued to argue. "How was I complicating things? Isn’t it the truth?"
There was a sports car for no reason, and he had lied to her that he borrowed it from Rob Hanson.
Was there anything wrong with her suspicion?
Christopher said, "The truth is that you’re thinking too much about it."
"How am I over thinking it?" Janice was still unconvinced.
Just as Christopher was about to respond, her phone suddenly rang. Janice paused for a mont and picked it up. Her face imdiately froze.
"What did you say? Okay, wait for . I’ll be right there."
After hanging up the phone, she stood up in a hurry and was about to leave.
"Where are you going?" Christopher asked.
"Your friend beat Director Taylor up.", Janice replied as she rushed towards the door.
Christopher was stunned.
Jas?
He followed her.
When Janice arrived at the door, the two n were entangled in a fight.
Yvonne was anxiously trying to stop them.
However, her efforts were useless.
Seeing Janice coming out, Yvonne quickly went up to her and said, "Janice, please stop them. If they go on like this, soone’s going to get badly injured."
Janice’s eyes fell on the two n. Benjamin had taken several punches in a row and was directly knocked down to the ground. Obviously, he was no match for Jas.
Looking at the situation, Janice had no ti to care about anything.
She rushed forward. "Stop."
Jas was about to wave his fist when he heard the command. He frowned and looked over. Seeing that it was Janice, he sneered.
"It’s none of your business."
However, Janice stepped forward and stood in front of Benjamin.
"If you continue, I’ll call the police."
"Call the police?" Jas sneered. "I’m curious about the relationship between you and this bastard. Why do you protect him like this?"
Jas was obviously insinuating sothing. Janice was stunned for a mont before she said, "Don’t talk nonsense."
"You have no idea." Jas wanted to say more, but he saw Christopher coming over from the corner of his eye. He sneered and said, "Chris, quickly pull your wife away, or my fist might accidentally injure her."
Christopher, on the other hand, stepped forward with an expressionless face. His gaze fell on Janice, who was standing in front of Benjamin like a guardian.
Christopher only felt a surge of anger rising from the bottom of his heart, but he tried his best to suppress it and spoke to Jas coldly.
"You dare to hurt her? Try it!"
Jas was stunned by Christopher’s words. He didn’t expect Christopher would be so protective of his wife.
Compared with the bastard in front of him, his old friend Christopher was soone he cared more for. Jas put his fists down and said unwillingly, "Okay, I’ll leave you off this ti. As for you, don’t let see you next ti."
Jas left angrily.
Daniel just ca out of the restaurant and understood what was going on instantly.
He patted Christopher on the shoulder and then chased after Jas.
It was only then that Christopher’s gaze returned to Janice. "Co here." He ordered coldly.
Janice felt an inexplicable chill as she looked into Christopher’s eyes. She shivered and walked over.
"Janice..."
Benjamin was about to say sothing when Yvonne stopped him. "Let’s go. I’ll take you to the hospital."
Although Benjamin was unwilling to leave, he still left with Yvonne.
All of a sudden, only Janice and Christopher were left in the noisy doorway.
...
Without looking at Janice, Christopher turned around and walked straight to the parking lot.
Seeing Janice did not follow him, he frowned. "Not leaving?"
It was only then that Janice caught up with him. However, she stared at Christopher’s cold and hard back, feeling a little apprehensive for so reason.
Did he hear sothing?
Thinking of this, she said, "Don’t listen to Jas’s nonsense. I just couldn’t sit by and watch that happen."
However, Christopher didn’t say anything and continued walking on.
"Say sothing."
Janice was a little anxious because he had been silent all the ti.
Christopher suddenly stopped and looked at her with so coldness in his eyes. "What do you want to say?"
"I..." Janice was dumbfounded.
As Christopher stared at her, the coldness in his eyes grew stronger. "Who is he to you? Why are you protecting him like that?"
Christopher’s expression was awful.
Janice was taken aback. "He’s my boss."
"Just your boss?"
Christopher’s eyes narrowed sinisterly.
Hearing Christopher’s question, Janice couldn’t help but feel a little guilty.
Indeed, it was not that simple between her and Benjamin.
However, that was all in the past.
Moreover, she was married to Christopher now. He shouldn’t doubt her like this.
"Christopher, what do you an? Do you think your friend was right to do that in public?"
"Jas is wrong, but that’s between them. Is he a three-year-old child who requires your protection? What relationship do you have to protect him like this?" Christopher replied.
Janice didn’t know how to react to the question. In fact, she didn’t think much about it at all. She just couldn’t stand seeing a fight.
Even if that person was not Benjamin and just a random passerby, she would still
intervene.
To think that Christopher actually doubted her intentions like that.
A trace of grievance rose in Janice’s heart. At the sa ti, she thought of another thing.
"Christopher, what right do you have to question ? I should be asking you, what’s the situation with your luxury car worth more than 1 million?"
She almost forgot about it.
Christopher snorted in his heart. She had finally asked.
However, he didn’t want to explain anymore. He said grumpily, "That’s my car. There’s nothing wrong with it."
"Do you dare to say that your car was obtained legally, and it’s not an ill-gotten gain?"
Janice was also annoyed by his attitude and blurted out without hesitation. But after she said it, she felt a little regretful and uneasy.
Christopher said, "Why wouldn’t I dare? I got the car rightfully."
At first, Janice felt guilty for her words, but she didn’t expect that he could be so self-righteous without a trace of guilt.
In an instant, anger rushed up again. She stared at Christopher and said with disappointnt.
"Very good, Christopher. I’ve given you a chance, but you’re still so stubborn. Since that’s the case, then forget it."
After that, she turned around and left angrily.
Christopher was stunned for a mont. He caught up with her and grabbed her arm. "What do you an by ’forget it’? Make yourself clear."
"Forget it, forget it. There’s nothing to say."
Janice shook off his hand and rushed to the roadside to stop a taxi.
By the ti Christopher caught up, the car had already driven off.
"Damn it!"
He stared at the taxi, cursed, and then turned to his car.
Janice sat in the taxi, feeling extrely angry.
