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 some instructions.

Soon, a large serving of beef was brought over.

Christopher placed the meat on the grill. When the meat 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 meat.

"How is it? Do you like it?"

Looking into Christopher’s eyes, Janice nodded in embarrassment.

Only then did Christopher smile.

Looking at their intimate behavior, Benjamin couldn’t stand it anymore.

He said, "I have something else to do, so I have to go first. Tonight’s meal is on me."

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 meal some other day. It’ll be my treat, Mr. Bateman."

Christopher didn’t even bat an eyelid.

Benjamin felt extremely 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 disappointment towards the door.

Seeing Benjamin leave, Yvonne naturally did not want to stay as a third wheel. She said to Janice, "Janice, I just remembered that I had something 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 met Christopher’s gaze, she looked away guiltily.

However, Christopher stared at her and frowned. "Why didn’t you call me when you saw me earlier?"

Janice pretended innocence. "I didn’t see you."

"Is that so?" Christopher curled his lips. "Then what’s going on with these text messages?"

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 something 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 moment and picked it up. Her face immediately froze.

"What did you say? Okay, wait for me. 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.

James?

He followed her.

When Janice arrived at the door, the two men 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, someone’s going to get badly injured."

Janice’s eyes fell on the two men. Benjamin had taken several punches in a row and was directly knocked down to the ground. Obviously, he was no match for James.

Looking at the situation, Janice had no time to care about anything.

She rushed forward. "Stop."

James 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?" James sneered. "I’m curious about the relationship between you and this bastard. Why do you protect him like this?"

James was obviously insinuating something. Janice was stunned for a moment before she said, "Don’t talk nonsense."

"You have no idea." James 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 James coldly.

"You dare to hurt her? Try it!"

James 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 someone he cared more for. James put his fists down and said unwillingly, "Okay, I’ll leave you off this time. As for you, don’t let me see you next time."

James left angrily.

Daniel just came out of the restaurant and understood what was going on instantly.

He patted Christopher on the shoulder and then chased after James.

It was only then that Christopher’s gaze returned to Janice. "Come 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 something 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 some reason.

Did he hear something?

Thinking of this, she said, "Don’t listen to James’s nonsense. I just couldn’t sit by and watch that happen."

However, Christopher didn’t say anything and continued walking on.

"Say something."

Janice was a little anxious because he had been silent all the time.

Christopher suddenly stopped and looked at her with some coldness in his eyes. "What do you want me to say?"

"I..." Janice was dumbfounded. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

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 mean? Do you think your friend was right to do that in public?"

"James 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 same time, she thought of another thing.

"Christopher, what right do you have to question me? 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 disappointment.

"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 moment. He caught up with her and grabbed her arm. "What do you mean 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 time 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 extremely angry.
