No wonder the whole family are acting weird, it’s because Dan's here.
When Jamie is thinking how she can sneak back to her room, Jack calls her. She has no choice but to go to Jack in front of everyone's eyes.
At this time, Jack looks less stern than before. He introduces, “Dan, this is my son, Jamie.” Then he says to Jamie, "Jamie, Dan is your sister’s fiance, you should call him brother-in-law.”
“Brother...Brother-in-law.” Jamie's tongue begins to tremble, and the whole person begins to shake.
These small details are caught by Dan.
Dan recalls that Jamie wasn’t so frightened like now even when she was humiliated at the club. Seems that she really does have something to do with the woman that night.
Dan confirms his thought in mind, he says with smile, “Am I a monster? Why are you so scared of me? Is it because you did something wrong to me?”
As soon as he says this, Jamie is flustered that her face turns red.
Of course she is afraid of him, for what happened that night. And what scared her most, is being recognized!
“I...I didn’t.” Jamie stutters again.
Jack gets angry seeing Jamie's appearance. However, Jacqueline is happy, for having a chance to talk to Dan finally.
This is her best chance to fawn on Dan.
Jacqueline says in affectation voice, “Mr William, my brother is too young to have much experience. Please don’t blame him, that will frighten him.” Saying this, Jacqueline tries to sit closer to Dan. But before she can move, she gets stopped by a look from Dan.
Then she has to sit away from Dan, because she doesn’t want to upset him.
“Is it? He looks really young, is he fifteen?” Dan reclines on the sofa lazily, looking Jamie up and down.
Jamie still carries baby-fat on her face, with the figure she has dressed herself, makes her look much younger than she really is.
Under Dan’s watching, Jamie is afraid. The way Dan is looking at her, just like looking at the prey.
Jamie wants to leave, but Jacqueline doesn’t want to let her go easily.
Jacqueline answers Dan, “Jamie is already 18 years old, but looks younger than he really is. We don’t know where he inherited from.” “Though Jamie is slender, don’t be fooled by his appearance. I heard that he had a fight with others at the club few days ago. What a surprise! Right, Dan?”
Jacqueline says purposely what happened that day when Chelsea met Jamie, but she doesn’t tell the truth at all.
The second Jack heard that Jamie went to a club and had a fight with someone, he gets angry.
Jamie takes a look at Jack, and all she can see is the angry face of Jack.
Jamie feels sorry for herself, she’s afraid that she will get another 100 lashes!.
Dan grows more interest in Jamie, when he sees Jamie doesn’t talk back or explain for herself.
“Em...” Dan hums. His long finger keeps tapping on the sofa. No one knows what he is thinking.
However, Jacqueline gets excited by Dan’s action. And she keeps saying, “You are good at this, brother.”
Jamie knows thing is not going to be good to her.
The man sits on the sofa, has a facial expression that is not easy to detect. Dan keeps staring at Jamie, says slowly, “Did he? It seems like that I was there also at day.”
