Janice held back her laughter and did not speak. In her heart, she thought that how could she not be excited after labelling her husband as a gay by herself?

However, she felt a little puzzled about the fact that he only wanted a male secretary.

"Could it be because of what I said this morning?"

That night, Janice came out of the bathroom after washing up. When she saw Christopher sitting at the bed reading a book, she remembered this matter.

Therefore, she rolled her eyes, stepped forward, and asked, "Do you know that everyone is talking about you? They think that you are a gay."

"Really?" Christopher did not raise his head, but replied nonchalantly.

Janice originally wanted to tease him, but she didn’t expect him to have no reaction at all.

She frowned and asked, "So, you don’t care?"

Hearing this, Christopher put down the book and reached out to hold her in his arms. "My dear wife is in my arms. Do the words of others matter?"

With that, he kissed her on the red lips.

"By the way, I’m going to another city tomorrow. Take care of yourself."

Janice nodded. "Don’t worry, I’m not a child."

She asked, "How many days are you going out? When will you be back?"

Christopher replied, "About two or three days. It depends on the situation."

Janice nodded. Later she seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Then I’ll go pack your luggage."

As she spoke, she was about to get out of bed.

But Christopher reached out to stop her.

"No, I’ll pack my luggage tomorrow morning. It’s getting late. Sleep."

"OK."

Janice just lay down and the light was turned off.

"What are you doing?"

"Didn’t you just say that I’m a gay? Then I’ll prove it to you."

"Ah... No..."

With waves of noise, the night gradually deepened.

Early the next morning, when Janice woke up, Christopher had already left.

She looked at the empty bed and frowned. "This guy didn’t wake me up before he left."

She got up and went to the bathroom to wash up.

She was thinking about how she was going to spend this weekend alone.

"Should I visit Grandpa? Or should I go shopping with Yvonne?"

Just as Janice was pondering, her phone rang. She glanced at the screen of her phone. It was a call from Sophie Valen.

They had exchanged phone numbers before.

"Hey," Janice answered.

"Is Miss Gladwell there? This is Sophie. Here’s the thing, our club has an event today. Do you want to come?"

Sophie’s gentle voice came through the phone.

Janice thought for a moment and said, "Alright, I’ll participate."

She put away the phone and quickly packed up. Then she drove to the address sent by Sophie with Nino.

It was a famous riverside park in Tomaville, where many people gathered on weekends.

As soon as Janice parked the car and carried Nino out of the car, she saw Sophie waving at her.

"Miss Gladwell, over here."

When Janice walked over with Nino in her arms, she discovered that the event was pretty large.

There were about 30 or 40 people, with their dogs, most of which were large dogs.

Compared to Nino who was in her arms, these were simply too big.

Janice felt a little awkward.

Sophie walked up and said, "Ms. Gladwell, we are currently in a dog competition project. Do you want Nino to participate in one as well?"

Janice stared at the large dogs. She thought, "Nino is so small. She doesn’t have any advantage over them."

Then she said, "I’m afraid that Nino is not suitable."

...

"Why not? It’s just for fun. What matters is not winning but participating," said Sophie.

Janice glanced at Nino, who was lying in her arms. The atmosphere was very warm.

With so many dogs around, Nino seemed a bit excited.

It seemed that she wanted to give it a try.

Janice then thought to herself, "Nino probably wants to participate as well."

Hence, she paused and said, "Alright then."

"Look, which one do you want Nino to participate?"

Sophie passed over the program schedule.

When Janice received it, she felt dizzy staring at the projects. She was not sure what Nino would do with so many projects.

She thought for a while and then said, "I don’t know which one is suitable either. Why don’t you recommend one?"

Sophie pointed at one of them and said, "How about hurdles?"

Janice nodded in agreement.

She took Nino to the hurdles group and began to study the rules.

Sophie stared at her figure and narrowed her eyes.

"Hurry up. The show is about to start."

When it was this group’s turn, someone came over to urge them.

Janice walked over with Nino in her arms and placed her on the runway. She glanced at the large dogs around Nino, feeling worried about Nino.

She said, "Nino, wage your tail if you don’t want to participate."

But Nino completely ignored her, continuing to stare at the fresh things around her.

"Forget it. Since you’re so interested, then go. Good luck." Janice knitted her brows.

Only then did Janice loosen her grip.

She stepped aside, feeling a little anxious.

"Don’t worry. Nino can do it." Sophie saw her worry and comforted her.

Janice nodded to Sophie, but was still worried.

When the whistle blew, all the dogs ran to their own destination, but only Nino remained still.

Janice rubbed her forehead.

She thought, "It’s really like what I have imagined."

She felt embarrassed and was about to step forward. However, a figure appeared in front of her.

Sophie came to Nino and said something to her. Then Nino crazily ran out and made a graceful standard action, looking very skilled.

It was as though she had long since mastered this skill.

Janice stared at the scene, stunned.

At the end of the competition, Nino defeated other dogs and became the champion.

Only then did Janice returned to her senses.

She actually had no idea that Nino had this ability.

But, how did Sophie do it?

She was a little surprised, so she stepped forward and asked, "Doctor Valen, I just saw you say something to Nino, then she began running. So, what did you say to her?"

Sophie looked at her and blinked her bright eyes. "This is a secret between me and Nino."

She walked towards Nino.

Janice stood there, staring at the scene of Sophie picking up Nino and kissing her.

She felt that it was a bit strange.

Why did she always feel that Nino and Valen were more familiar with each other than she was?

"Ms. Gladwell, I have heard that you are a reporter."

At this time, someone stepped forward to strike up a conversation.

Janice looked over and saw a young man in his twenties.

Janice nodded. "I was."

"Well, can you help us investigate the recent missing of dogs? We want to investigate it, but we don’t quite know how to investigate."

...

As a former reporter, Janice still had the professional quality. When she heard this, she agreed without hesitation. "I can recommend my former colleagues to you."

"Thank you so much. My name is Vincent. This is my contact information."

He handed her a business card, and Janice reached out to take it.

When it ended, Sophie walked over with Nino in her arms.

Nino wore a crown on her head. She was the victor today.

"Nino, you are amazing."

She took Nino from Sophie and held her in the arms.

"I wonder, do you like participating in such a gathering?" asked Sophie suddenly.

Janice honestly replied, "Yes. It’s pretty fun."

"That’s good."

Sophie relaxed her brows. After a pause, she said, "By the way, I didn’t drive here today. Can you take me back? Just take me downtown."

Janice replied, "Of course."

"Thank you."

The two then left the riverside park.

"By the way, Doctor Valen, where do you live?"

Sophie paused for a while and said, "I live in the Deveau Villa Group. However, it’s a long way from here, you just take me to the downtown."

Janice said, "I will send you back. I have time today."

Hearing this, Sophie didn’t say anything more.

The car soon reached the destination.

"I’m sorry, it’s inconvenient to invite you to my home now. I’ll treat you to dinner another day. Thank you," Sophie said apologetically.

"No need. I have something else to do, so I am leaving now."

As Janice spoke, she drove the car away, and happened to see a black Phaeton.

She glanced at the license plate and was a little surprised.

"Isn’t that the Batemans family’s car?"

Last time, when Nathan came to her, she had deliberately looked at the license plate number.

Could it be that she was mistaken?

Janice thought that there shouldn’t be such a coincidence, thus she just dropped the matter.

When she got home, she took out her phone and found that there was a missed call from Christopher.

Thus, she immediately dialed the number.

"Christopher, have you arrived?"

Christopher replied, "I’ve been here for a long time. Where have you been before? Why didn’t you answer my call?"

Janice said, "It’s nothing. I just took Nino to a party. By the way, you don’t know how glamorous she was today. I never knew that she is so good at hurdles."

However, Christopher only said, "The meeting is about to begin. I have to hang up."

"Okay."

Janice hung up the phone and glanced at Nino, who was wagging her tail behind her.

She looked so cute.

In the evening, Christopher suddenly came back.

When Janice saw him, she was badly startled.

"Didn’t you say that you would come back in two or three days? Why are you back so soon?"

Christopher glanced at her and thought, "Because I am worried about you." He said, "I canceled some unnecessary meetings and ended the trip early." "Have you eaten yet?" asked Christopher.

Only then did Janice remember that she hadn’t eaten breakfast and lunch.

She was surprised that she totally forgot it.

Christopher could tell from her expression.

He frowned and said, "I’ll cook it for you."

When he was about to go to the kitchen, he remembered something and turned back.

"By the way, you said that Nino was good at hurdles?" asked Christopher.
