Janie lost interest in her book, setting it aside as her thoughts drified.
Xena asked, “Where’s Mr. Moore and Mr. Smitht”
Emily replied with a smile. “They went to wash the dishes

Jame nodded slightly with a soft look in her eyes. “Yeah, he’s great”
Janie’s previous attitude was indifferent, and now she seemed to be showing off, which made Xena feel a li

But Janie cut her off impatiently. “Can you focus on your food while I read my book?”
little uncomfortable.
Xena felt awkward for a second. She had to eat her meal with silent difficulty. It was hard to swallow at all because the food was awful.
Compared to Jackson, she kind of disliked Ryan

thought for a moment
Ryan hadn’t washed the dishes before, and his words touched Xena, she said. “Ryan, you are so sweet. I don’t want y together.
Ryan nodded in agreement. “Alright, let’s learn together. Practicing some life skills.”
He added with a grin. “When we get home, we can help Mom and Dad cook and do the dishes.
Nena originally wanted him to wash the dishes by himself, so she forced a smile. “Yeah, Mom and Dad work hard.”
[Janie, have you seen how Xena is doing? You don’t even care about your brother at all
you working too hard. Let’s do it
(I don’t want to stir things up, but Jackson would be totally cool with it. If Janie interferes, he might get upset. It seems like Xena is deliberately antagonizing Janie |
[Xena is from a rich family. She’s i
gorgeous and super talented. With three brothers spoiling her, she’s like a fictional heroine. And what about Janie! Just an eye candy.]
Come on, I laugh my ass off. Honestly, Janie is more beautiful and more elegant than Xena. Her brother is a superstar. There’s so much more to her than you: she’s not bad at all Xena is nothing]
At that moment, Molly was packing her stuff to wash the dishes.
Jason noticed and immediately got up, saying, “Molly, I’m also done eating. Leave it to me.”
He grinned and added, “I can’t I girls do all the cleaning”
Molly paused for a second and shook her head “No need. Just wash your
Jason sighed but replied, “Alright then”
He turned to Xena and the others and said, “We’ll head out first”
Zena and Family nodded with smiles while Ryan stayed quiet with a blank expression.
He glanced over at Jane When Janie left the Jenkins family, she was not 18 years old. So she didn’t get much chance to continue her studies.
Xena telt sinalarly. Slar looked at Janie about to say something. Jane, you-”
Just then Jackson came back after washing the dishes and frownrd. “Why are you always bothering Janier
Xena’s face went pale as she replied. Terious about what book she’s reading. It looks interesting,”
Jackson scoffed internally. I
He could ser riglat through her intentions,
“My sister has been into ancient texts lately, he said dismissively. “You probably wouldn’t get them anyway, so don’t bother.”
Isn’t Jackson bring a bit much? Sounds like bragging that might blow up in his face.]

Ryan frowned and sand. “Janie, what’s up with your Nena just wanted to get closer to you. Why are you acting like this?
Janic replied calmly. “You know exactly what she’s after. Are you a mand reader or something! Because she makes me uncomfortable.” Jackson nodded in agreement
JOh man! Janse is so straightforward! I love it It’s super annoying when someone keeps talking while one tries to read |
(Janse has zero emotional intelligence. What’s up with Jackson! Why invite her here? She’s such a pain in the neck.]
I don’t think so. What’s the point of being mediocre! After a day at work with annoying colleagues, I don’t want to watch boring variety shows. I

Trying to lighten the mood, Kena said. “Ryan, are you done eating! I’ll wash the dishes since you’ve done all the cooking. You can get rest.” Ryan responded warmly. “No way. You haven’t washed dishes since childhood. It’s beiter if we do it together.”

The production team was super excited. Their ratings were climbing, more and more viewers were tuning in, and advertisers were lining up to reach test to them. They all eagerly looked at Janje.
