Chapter 233 Why did You Have to Mention It
Ang also raised her hand, and said, "Me..." Under Sven''s gaze, she continued, "Ten days!"
Hearing her, they all looked at Ang with envious eyes. Scott then protested to her, "Ang, please
don''t show off with your happy, free days to us, okay?"
Scott was studying at the same college as Ang was, and he had known pretty well that Ang was
always skipping her sses, and was hanging around outside the campus most of the time!
Ang wasn''t convinced by Scott''s protest, and she distracted everyone''s attention to J, and said,
"Please, I''m not the one that you should be focusing on! Did you guys know that, when they were in
college, Jane used to go with Bill to Korea to nt roses together? And they also went to France to
eat... what was that? I can''t remember it''s name, but anyway, some kind of specialties!"
Bill being mentioned, J thought that maybe she should have also invited Bill toe along on the
trip with them, to rx andy his mind off of things.
In a gloomy voice, she said, "Oh, if you hadn''t brought it up, I would have totally forgotten about it. I
think it''s time to take Bill back to Korea again!"
Sally looked at her, and asked, "What are you going to do in Korea?"
J replied to her with three simple words, "nt pretty flowers."
The man next to her suddenly stood up from his seat, and while pulling out a cigarette out of his pack,
he quickly strode to the parking lot nearby where he smoked it alone.
J looked at his back, and wondered if he actually wanted her to also shut up for the entire trip.
She then sighed, and thought that the man that she was looking at was really cold-blooded when it
came to love. She was perplexed at the thought that he had slept with her the night before, and now,
the following day, he could simply ignore her entire existence so easily.
The dishes were soon ced on the table, and Daniel also returned to his seat.
Enjoying the fresh and organic food, everyone felt quite happy and energized.
A dish of steamed carp fish was on the table, but it was ced beyond J''s reach. She wanted to
eat some of it, but she gave up on the idea because it was too far away from her.
Jerry ced a fish slice on Sally''s te, and said, "Here, eat some more fish. You''re pregnant, fish is
good for the baby."
Sally nodded, and happily ate the piece of fish on her te.
J nced at her brother and sister-inw with an admiring look in her eyes, and tittered, "Sally, you
should ask my brother to go fishing for you!"
She then served some chicken soup in a bowl and put it in front of her.
At that moment, J noticed that the man sitting next to her still hadn''t touched his chopsticks and
eaten anything yet.
Daniel was squeamish about cleanliness, and maybe these foods weren''t to his liking.
J also initially didn''t want to eat when she saw the unsterillized dinnerware chopsticks. But, after
experiencing the hard days in Z Country, she had be less critical of this kind of thing now.
J had always considered those days as hard days, but only ording to her own experience; of
course, if they were to bepared to those of the refugees in Africa, she thought that she had been
much more luckier than they were.
J stretched out her arm in front of Daniel and picked up a slice of pork meat with her chopsticks,
but she didn''t catch it well, and the slice of meat slipped right onto Daniel''s te.
"I''m sorry, I didn''t mean to do that!" said J. She then hastily picked up the slice from Daniel''s te.
However, at that moment, Sven suddenly tittered, and cheered on J, "Jane, if you wanted to pick
up food for Daniel, you should have just said so!"
"Right, right! Daniel hasn''t eaten anything yet!" echoed Selina. All except J and Daniel knew quite
well what their true mission was during their trip.
J was speechless when she heard them, and all of them seemed to not believe her.
She had to give up on her attempt to exin more. Instead, she picked the slice of pork meat and
raised it to Daniel''s mouth, saying, "It''s been on your te already, and I don''t want it anymore. I''m
giving it back to you."
Everyone tittered, and Daniel looked at the ck thing in front of him, and frowned.
J didn''t get his reply, and was just about to draw back her hand when Daniel suddenly grabbed it,
opened his mouth, and ate it.
All the other people on the table winked at J, which made her feel embarrassed of the whole
scene. She lowered her head and continued on eating her bowl of rice.
Again, J stretched out her arm and picked up another slice of pork meat. However, the same
tragedy happened again...
She again looked at the slice of meat on Daniel''s te speechless, and in her mind cursed the chef
that had sliced the meat into such small chunks!
J looked at their teasing faces, and asked in an even more embarrassed voice, "Can I exin
myself?"
But they shook their heads to J, and Jerry picked a slice of pork rib into his wife''s bowl, and then
said to his sister, "You don''t need to exin anything, the fact is that you''re picking food for Daniel!"
Daniel blew a cloud of smoke out of his cigarette around the table. He then ced the cigarette
between his left hand''s fingers, grabbed his chopsticks with his right, picked up a slice of meat and ate
it.
...
J made up her mind that she shouldn''t eat out of that particr dish of pork meat again!
Momentster, Jerry looked at his sister, and asked, "Jane, don''t you always like eating fish? Why
haven''t you had any of it today?"
... J cast a stare at her brother, and thought in her mind, ''Why did you have to mention it? My arms
are too short, okay?''
She said, "Brother, please just take good care of my dear sister-inw, and leave me alone!"
All of a sudden, while she was talking, she saw that a piece of fresh fish had appeared in her bowl.
The man next to her said in a peaceful voice, "It''s my turn now."
J was just about to refuse him, but then she saw Daniel moving the whole fish dish in front of her.
...
Daniel''s action triggered the anger of some at the table. One of them protested, "That''s unfair! Daniel''s
partial to Jane!"
Selina urged her, "That''s right, Jane, you have to eat it now! Don''t waste Daniel''s kindness!"
J felt embarrassed, and nodded, "Okay, okay, I''m eating..."
''What did he mean with this? Wasn''t he angry just a while ago?'' thought J.
J began to have the feeling that everyone present was trying to hook her up with Daniel.
After the lunch, J wiped her mouth, and stood up from her chair.
The weather was hot outside, and while she was fanning her face with her hands, she walked to the
side of a small stream. It was a very hot day indeed, and she had wrapped a scarf around her neck,
which made a lot of passing onlookers stare at her.
She was boiling...

Inside the restaurant, Sven handed a credit card to Ang, and asked her to make the payment.
"Brother, I''m ady! Shouldn''t you go and do it yourself?" protested Ang. She fanned her face with
the card, and then walked towards the receptionist''s counter.
"I have to take care of your sister-inw!" said Sven.
... It sounded reasonable, and Ang stopped her protests.
J then came near Jerry and asked him where her luggage was.
Jerry pointed at Daniel''s Maybach car, and J again felt helpless.
She walked up to the car trunk of Daniel''s Maybach, and while looking at the man a short distance
away from here, she patted on the trunk.
But Daniel didn''t move an inch.
"Daniel!" she cried. She had no choice but call out his name; she was suffocating from the heat, and
wanted to take off her scarf as soon as possible. She would''ve rather been dressed in her coat than be
wrapped in that scarf.
Daniel stared at her with a serious look on his face. J felt more annoyed by each passing minute,
and yelled, "Open the trunk already! I need to take out something!"
She then mmed her palm heavily on his car to release her anger.
"Mind your manners!" Daniel only gave her a simple answer, and still didn''t open the trunk.
J was furious, and wondered how could such a malicious man like this even exist in the world!
Why?
She took a deep breath, and tried her best to calm down.
She asked with a softer voice, "Daniel, could you please open the trunk''s lid?"
Daniel then took out the car key, and pressed on the button, and J opened the trunk.
She searched for her things inside the trunk, but she couldn''t seem to find her coat anywhere, even if
she had turned upside down everything, even Daniel''s underclothes.
Without raising her head from the trunk, J asked Jerry, "Brother, where''s my coat?"
Jerry thought for a second, and said, "I think it might be in my car''s trunk."
...
J now really wanted to punch someone in the face! Really, really wanted!
Closing the Maybach''s trunk, J then went to search inside Jerry''s Audi trunk. Finally, she found her
coat there.
J immediately took off Daniel''s scarf, put on her pink coat, and pulled its zipper up to her neck.
