The sight was revolting and a wave of disgust swept through the room.

Janet immediately recoiled, covering her mouth as she pushed her chair backward.

"Oh my goodness!"

Alice dropped her napkin onto the table and turned her face away.

Ben's expression darkened.

Even the staff members standing nearby looked visibly uncomfortable.

Van seemed momentarily confused by what had happened. He stared at the mess beside him, blinking several times as though he could not understand why his stomach had sud

    The next morning, Van woke up with the same thought that had occupied his mind for days.Janet.He reached for his phone and immediately checked their conversation, hoping she might have responded to his apology overnight.But there was nothing.His expression darkened."She's still ignoring me?"He sat up and read the apology he had sent the previous day. He had admitted that he drank too much and apologised for embarrassing her in front of her family. He had expected that to be enough to make her respond, even if she was still upset.But Janet had remained silent.Van tossed his phone onto the bed and got up.He was beginning to feel that the situation was slipping out of his control. He had never experienced this kind of treatment from Janet before. She had always been willing to listen to him, even when they disagreed.Now, it seemed she had suddenly become determined to keep him at a distance.He walked into the bathroom, washed his face, and stared at himself in the mirror.He n

    Van spent the rest of the afternoon thinking about Janet.He had tried to occupy himself with other things, but his mind kept returning to the same problem. Janet was no longer responding to his messages, her phone remained unreachable, and the Foster family had made it clear that he was not welcome at their mansion without her approval.He found the situation increasingly difficult to accept.He had always believed that Janet was deeply attached to him. He had never imagined that she could suddenly become so distant, especially after everything they had shared.But the more he thought about the previous evening, the more he realised that the banquet might have caused serious damage to his relationship with her.He remembered the way she had looked at him when he began behaving badly at the dining table. He also remembered her attempts to caution him in the living room.Although his memories were incomplete, he could recall becoming angry and saying things about her family.His expres

    The following morning, Van woke up with Janet still on his mind.He had spent most of the previous evening thinking about their relationship and trying to figure out how to get her attention. He had hoped that she would eventually respond to his message, but when he checked his phone, there was still nothing from her.He frowned."Is she seriously going to keep ignoring me?"He sat on the edge of his bed and rubbed his face.He had never imagined that Janet would treat him this way. She had always been affectionate and attentive, and he had grown accustomed to having her around whenever he wanted her company.Now, he could barely get her to answer a simple message.He picked up his phone and opened their conversation. After staring at the screen for a while, he decided to send another message.This time, he wanted to make it clear that he was unhappy with her silence. He reminded her that they were in a relationship and that he deserved an opportunity to explain what had happened at t

    Van held his phone against his ear, waiting for the call to connect.After several rings, someone finally answered."Hello?"Van immediately straightened."Good morning. It's Van Tyler."There was a brief pause."Oh, Van. Good morning."He recognised the voice and quickly continued."I hope I'm not disturbing you. I actually wanted to ask you something concerning Janet.""Janet?" the woman repeated."Yes. I've been trying to reach her for days, but her number isn't going through. I sent her a message, but she hasn't responded. I even went to the Foster mansion yesterday, but the security officers refused to let me in."There was another pause."Why did you go to the Foster mansion?"Van frowned slightly."Because I wanted to see Janet. Where else was I supposed to go? I have been trying to speak with her, but she's suddenly become unreachable.""Have you tried contacting her again?""Of course, I have. I've called her several times. Her line isn't going through at all. That's why I'm

    Van did not return home immediately. Instead, he drove around the city, his mind occupied by everything that had happened since the banquet at the Foster mansion.He was becoming increasingly convinced that Janet's family had something to do with her sudden silence.He remembered how Raphael had behaved during the dinner. Although Raphael had not openly confronted him, there had been something about his attitude that made Van uncomfortable. He had also noticed that Ben and Alice seemed unusually observant whenever he spoke.At the time, he had dismissed their expressions as ordinary reactions to his drunken behaviour. But now, he wondered whether the entire family had already made up their minds about him."That must be it," he muttered.He struck the steering wheel lightly."They probably told Janet to stay away from me."The thought irritated him. He believed that whatever happened between him and Janet should be their private affair. Her parents and brother had no right to interfer

    Van drove away from the Foster mansion with a deep frown on his face.He kept glancing at the rearview mirror, as though he expected someone to come running after him and invite him back inside. But nothing happened. The massive gate remained closed, and the security officers continued with their duties as if his visit had never mattered.He tightened his grip on the steering wheel."What sort of nonsense is this?" he muttered.He could not understand how things had changed so drastically within a few days. During the banquet, Janet had welcomed him warmly. She had introduced him to her parents and brother, and he had been given a seat at their dining table. He had even received special treatment with the food and drinks served that evening.Now, he could not even get past the gate.The humiliation irritated him more than he wanted to admit.He had never expected the Fosters to treat him like an ordinary visitor, especially after he had been introduced as Janet's boyfriend.He continu
