With a slight blush of her cheeks, Janet cupped her face and murmured, "Mom, Dad, it's..."
These days, she eventually grew accustomed to calling Beal and Johanna Dad and Mom.
As if nothing had gone down, Ethan turned around and greeted politely to them, "Good morning, Mr. and Mrs. White."
What he really wanted to do was strangle himself. His actions earlier must have left a bad impression on Beal and Johanna. Furthermore, when they kissed just now, he even stuck his tongue in her mouth!
Beal and Johanna didn't really like him to begin with. Their faces darkened when they witnessed how he kissed their daughter just now.
"You're in a public space." Johanna looked at Ethan up and down with displeased eyes.
Janet was such a sweet girl while he was a bad influence on her.
"Well, come inside first so we can talk." Johanna didn't look very happy, but she knew she couldn't let Ethan just wait out here.
After they walked inside, Ethan proceeded to sit upright on the sofa.
As soon as Janet walked into the house, Beal asked her to come into the kitchen with him to help him make breakfast. She kept looking in the direction of the living room.
"Stop looking. Your mother will do her best to not give him a hard time." Beal washed the vegetables and smiled gently at his daughter.
Janet bowed her head down and said guiltily, "I wasn't really looking."
Inside the living room.
Johanna said in an aggressive voice, "We just found our daughter who has been missing for the past twenty some years. We want her to stay with us for a while longer to bond as a family. What do you think about that?"
"Of course, I can understand," said Ethan with a smile on his face.
At this time, Lila was yawning as she headed down the stairs.
She glanced at the man, who was sitting downstairs in the living room. Her heart seemed to be hit by something huge and it seemed to have stopped beating for a few seconds there. Her face turned red unconsciously.
She had seen Janet and Brandon's wedding on TV before and she didn't feel anything back then. She admitted that Brandon was indeed a very handsome man, but at that time, she was still the daughter of the White family. She didn't feel inferior to him during that time.
She had originally thought that her future husband would be someone equally as excellent as Brandon, or someone even more excellent than him.
But Lila was very clear now that with her current situation, there was no way someone like Brandon would want to marry someone like her.
Janet used to be a nobody. How in the world did she manage to marry such a rich and handsome man? Why was she so fortunate?
Lila didn't dare to show her emotions on her face. She forced a smile and headed down the stairs. "Mom, why are you up so early?"
