Chapter 21

Hector was dumbfounded.

The White family held some power in Cardiff, but it was not enough to find a small company. Moreover,

with his identity, it was inevitable that he would attract attention.

What if someone misunderstood him like last time when he handled David?

Hector coughed twice and smiled awkwardly. “Dominic, I can check it out, but I must warn you first. If

any rumors are saying that I have an affair with your wife, don’t believe it… Ouch!”

Before he could finish his words, Tristan punched him on the head.

On the second month of work, Jane began to work harder. She had a basic understanding of some of

the rules of survival for a newcomer in the workplace. She learned how to deal with Ava’s bully and

Adam’s harassment.

However, this took a lot of energy, and she was very tired every day.

She took off her high heels and lay on the sofa when she got home. Sometimes, she was so tired that

she slept until the middle of the night. When she woke up, she found that her body was covered with a

thin blanket, and Dan was sleeping on the floor beside her.

She occupied the sofa where he slept, but Dan did not enter the bedroom to sleep on the bed.

Jane smiled gently. She felt uneasy and a little warm at the same time.

Dan told her, “Since this job is so hard, just quit it.”

“How can I do that?” Jane glanced at him. “If I don’t work, where can we get the money to pay rent?”

“What could this small amount of money do?”

“A small sum of money?” She was stunned momentarily and smiled, “You really don’t know how

expensive life is. If I don’t work hard to get the bonus, our life will be miserable.”

As she spoke, she unconsciously used the word “our.”

Dan gently smiled. This feeling was rather peculiar, something that he had never experienced before

in his life.

He deliberately teased her. “Before you married me, weren’t you the eldest daughter of the Fallon

family? Why do I always feel that you can’t bear to spend money? Now you have to work hard. Don’t

your parents care?”

Jane, who was cutting vegetables, almost cut her fingers. Her heart was beating very fast.

“What, what are you talking about?” She smiled unnaturally and managed to gloss it over. “Even if I’m

the daughter of a rich family, I’m married now. With my own family, I’m no longer one with my parents’

family. Of course, I have to plan my life and can’t spend money casually.”

“Is that so?” Dan’s smile deepened as he leaned in closer to look at her. “But you must have more

savings than ordinary people, right? Oh, right. Where is your dowry?”

Jane’s little face turned red, and she suddenly turned around and stared at him. Her beautiful big eyes

were bright and embarrassed.

“Why, why are you asking this? Since

got married, have you lacked food or anything? I’ve served you well in and out of the house. Are you

suspecting that I’ve hidden my private money? You’re

really…”

The little woman was exasperated, but she was adorable. As she spoke, she was not confident. She

lowered her eyelids and her long eyelashes trembled slightly, which made him feel pity for her.

Served him well?

But they were still sleeping separately.

Dan tried his best to hold back his laughter and coughed lightly.

“Why are you so mad? I am just asking.”

Jane took a deep breath and straightened her neck. “Mad? Not at all! I am just saying as well.”

After that, she turned around and continued to do her work. But out of the corner of her eye, she saw

the man standing at the kitchen door and felt that his eyes were fixed on her as if there was a blade on

her back.

Jane calmed down and continued to cook. Usually, she cooked quickly, but she almost messed it up

today.

Jane sighed helplessly.

To keep the secret, it seemed that she had to maintain her identity as the daughter of the Fallon family

in the future!
