Bride To Be Not Me (Janice and Simon) novel Chapter 118

Jacob had told her not to mess up Edward's plan.

"Just channel that same energy into him. I'm sure you'll fool his family."

Janice took a deep breath, taking in the icy winter air. She walked over, opened the car door, entered the car, and closed the door—all in one smooth motion.

The moment the door shut, she turned her head and said bluntly, "Good morning, darling."

As she spoke, she leaned in and placed a kiss but shielded the view with her hand. To others, it looked like she kissed Edward's cheek, but in reality, her lips had only touched her fingers.

"Did you miss me?" Her bright eyes sparkled as she looked at him.

For a moment, the car fell into complete silence.

Edward was clearly stunned. He slowly turned his head around, but his response came surprisingly fast. "Yes."

Janice blinked.

That was when she suddenly heard a sound. Looking up, she saw someone in the front passenger seat.

It was Edward's older brother, Calvin.

Janice was speechless. Good heavens!

She had assumed it was just Edward and the driver in the car. Wanting to ease any awkwardness from yesterday's ride, she had decided to "kiss" him.

"Sorry, I forgot to have Edward tell you I was here," Calvin said politely.

Janice quickly adjusted her expression and greeted him, "Good morning, Calvin."

"No worries. Carry on," Calvin said as he personally reached out and raised the partition between the front and back seats.

The moment the space was divided, Janice's smile disappeared.

But in the next second, she heard a soft chuckle from her left.

Edward was looking at her, still smiling. "Where'd you learn that from?"

"What do you mean?" Janice lowered her voice, glaring at him with her beautiful eyes. "Why didn't you tell me your brother was here?"

"This is even better. It puts his doubts to rest right away."
