Chapter 367 Am I Really His Sister
J was thrilled with Caspar''s words. She asked, "Really? The twins are beginning to look like me?"
"No!" Before Caspar could answer, Daniel coldly cut in and shattered her excitement.
The atmosphere around them became awkward.
Fortunately, Jerry came in and greeted Caspar, clearing out the tense air.
Holding Michelle in her arms, J sat back next to Daniel. When she saw Jerry, she thought about his
sermon just now, so sheined to Samuel, "Dad! I need to tell on Jerry!"
Samuel raised his brows and asked, "What''s wrong?"
"Jerry Shao had be a ''long-winded man''. He gave me a long sermon earlier!" J deliberately
red at her brother, who just sat back on his seat.
Jerry rolled his eyes at her and went to hug his son.
...
He ignored J''s stare.
"Dad! Look at him! See how bad his manners are? Am I really his sister?" protested J. J was
not actually angry. She was just joking around, trying to lighten up the atmosphere.
Sitting in E''s arms, Melissa curiously looked at her protesting mother and asked, "Mommy, what is a
''long-winded'' man?"
"A person who says a lot, " said J.
"But Mommy, you''re a long-winded person, too! Everyday, you say ''Melissa, don''t do this... don''t do
that..'', right?" asked Melissa.
Everyone burst outughing.
Melissa imitated J''s tone, and gestured like a parent, which made everyoneugh out louder.
J''s face darkened, and with her palm on her forehead, she told everyone, "I must teach Melissa
Shao a lesson tonight when we get back home!"
"It''s Melissa Si!" Daniel corrected her. He had arranged for someone to change Melissa''s name on the
household registration.
But there seemed to be some technical dys, so that it wasn''t changed yet.
"J, when will the twins go to kindergarten?" asked Caspar. He sat next to Jerry. There were two
people between him and J.
J was about to answer him, but she instantly received a warning nce from Jerry.
...
J really wanted to cry. Daniel had seemed to have gotten into Jerry''s head. Instead of J, Daniel
answered, "Mr. Caspar, my daughters will go to kindergarten one monthter!"
Caspar returned a smile and tried to keep calm, saying, "Have you chosen a good kindergarten yet?"
J opened her mouth, but Daniel spoke before she did, "The kindergarten, which my daughters are
going to, had just finished construction. It will open in a month, exactly when my daughters would go."
... Daniel kept stressing the words ''my daughters''. Caspar, of course, had noticed it and understood his
possessiveness.
Hearing his words, J was shocked and looked at Daniel. J wondered if he meant that he had
built a new kindergarten for his daughters.
Coincidentally, Sally asked out her doubt, "Brother, is the twins'' kindergarten done yet?"
... J looked at Daniel with a puzzled look in her eyes. Daniel also moved his eyes away from the
table to J. Their gazes met.
He said, "Yes, it''s done!"
"When did you build a kindergarten? Why don''t I know about it?" asked J. She now felt that Daniel
had done a lot of things behind her.
Daniel grinned, and said smugly, "I wanted to surprise you."
...
He was meaning to show off his love in front of Caspar!
The appetizers were now on the table. Samuel raised his ss of red wine, stood up, and told Caspar,
"Caspar, I offer my sincere gratitude to you for what you had done for my daughter and two
granddaughters. If you need any help in C Country, please let me know. The Shao family will do our
best to help you in any way we can!"
The elders stood up, so everyone else stood up as well. They all held up their sses of wine.
Daniel looked at Caspar, smiling, and said, "Mr. Caspar, it was my fault. I made my wife and children
suffer a lot. Thank you for your help to them. If you need any help, the Si family will also be happy to
help."
Jerry raised his ss and said, "We owe you a lot. Thank you! Mr. Caspar, please do tell us if you need
anything. We can help you!"
Caspar shed a grin of bitterness, which only he knew.
These three men had made their stances clear. They all knew Caspar''s feelings toward J. This
was a power y, and reminder of how he had to go through them first before he could reach J.
With his right hand in his pocket and his left holding his ss, Caspar scanned the people present, and
finally opened his mouth, "Mr. Samuel, Mr. Si, and Mr. Shao, you are so wee. It''s my pleasure to
have met J, and also my honor to take care of her and the twins!"
J initially had wanted to say something, but she remembered her brother''s words and just kept her
mouth shut.
Her father and brother had already said enough.
"Caspar,e, let''s toast!" Then, everyone clinked their sses and drank the wine.
Because the twins were there, the room was filled withughter.
Daniel coldly stared at Caspar, who was holding the twins in his arms. He felt so discontent to see this
scene.
J picked up a slice of beef and put it on his te. She then asked in a low voice, "Where is the
kindergarten?"
"Near the Royal Mansion neighborhood, " said Daniel.
...
Fine! She did see a building under construction nearby, but she didn''t think much of it.
When the dishes were almost finished, the room''s door suddenly opened. Spark was at the door.
"Mr. Shao and Mrs. Shao, good evening! I''m here to bring something to Mr. Si." Spark greeted the
elders, with a file packet in his hands.
E stood from her seat and said, "Spark, have you had any food yet? Come, sit. I''ll ask the waiter to
Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
bring a new set of dinnerware, and I''ll order some more dishes."
Spark refused, "No, thank you, Mrs. Shao. I''ve had dinner at thepany, and I still have some
unfinished work, so I have to go back!" Spark handed the file packet to Daniel and went toward the
door.
"Why are you in a rush? Come, have some food here!" demanded E again. Spark was moved by
E''s hospitality, but he still used his unfinished work as an excuse and left the room.
When the door was closed, Daniel spoke to Samuel and E, "Dad, Mom, here is a copy of the file.
Please have it. It''s my betrothal present for you."
...
Daniel did it on purpose!
Why did he pick up this time to give his betrothal present? He purposely did it in front of Caspar!
Daniel was such a sly fox.
Samuel and E exchanged nces with each other. Samuel understood Daniel''s intention.
Taking the betrothal present was a symbol of blessing to a marriage, so Samuel should ept it.
Samuel then took the file packet from his hand, and while wearing a smile, he said, "Okay, thank you.
What date is your wedding ceremony?"
"The date is not fixed yet. We can discuss itter, " said Daniel. Of course, the Shao family and the Si
family must discuss it together.
While ying with the ss in his hand, Caspar remained silent the moment he heard Daniel. Daniel
had done a good job! Caspar now really felt like an outsider.
When he saw Samuel ept Daniel''s present, Caspar thought he might as well give up. His beloved
woman would get married to this man, and there was nothing else he could do.
"J, congrattions!" Caspar''s words made Je back to her senses.
She looked at Caspar, in a daze, and asked, "What? Congrattions on what?"
... Instantly, Daniel''s face darkened.
