Chapter 10

Intense Stare Down

In truth, no one doubted what Jonathan said because everyone knew he wasn’t interested in girls.
Since he didn’t have a girlfriend or a family of his own, no one expected him to know anything about
sex. Perhaps Walter had jumped to a conclusion and assaulted someone. Only then did Lucille call
Hannah, asking her for help.

A hush descended over the living room after Jonathan said that.

The afterglow of the sunset happened to seep into the living room and fell on Jonathan’s body while
blurring his facial features, leaving the deep impression of a benign and composed gentleman. As
such, one couldn’t help but have their eyes fixated on him.

His picturesque, gentle, and elegant appearance showcased his unique ethereal aura.

Meanwhile, Michaela was standing nearby when she sized Jonathan up.

Compared to the handsome young man I remember he was, the one before me has turned into a
sophisticated man. Elegance and splendor have taken over the defiance he used to have when he was
younger. Also, why is his voice so familiar?

She was so deep in her thoughts that she didn’t even realize that Jonathan was looking back at her.

She’s gotten more beautiful and refined over the past five years.

Indeed, her previously palm-sized face had grown more exquisite, giving her a pointy chin and smiling
eyes in addition to her translucent porcelain skin.

Moreover, she had become taller and more slender. At that moment, she was exuding a sophisticated
and elegant aura that did not complement her age.



It did seem like she had been doing just fine in the past few years.

Michaela was unaware of Jonathan’s burning gaze on her as she was still struggling to recall where
she had heard the voice from. Right then, she was frightened by an abrupt roar and shuddered in fear.

Michaela quickly returned to her senses and was about to retract her gaze. However, she realized the
man was staring back at her.

Michaela was flustered when their eyes met. She quickly shied away from his gaze as if she had been
caught red-handed while committing a crime.

When Jonathan saw the woman who looked like a startled bunny, he couldn’t help but grin. Is she
embarrassed?

While Jonathan was retracting his gaze discreetly, he saw Quentin dashing toward Zack with a scowl.
The man landed a kick on his son and roared, “B*stard! See what you’ve done!”

Caught off guard, Zack let out a low grunt as he rolled on the floor in pain.

Zack never expected things to spiral out of control. Although the marriage was arranged by his parents,
he had never objected to their decision. However, Lucille suddenly told him that she was into him on
the night when they were in a foreign country.

She was hugging him tightly and unwilling to let go while she told him how much she liked him. As the
man had drunk a glass or two, he gave in to his desires and ended up committing an irreversible
mistake.

He had admitted to his mistake after that and apologized to Lucille, even offering to send her out of the
country so that they could return to their respective lives.



However, never had he expected her to tell him that she would not interfere with his marriage with
Michaela.

Zack had thought she meant it, but what happened next utterly stupefied him.

At first, the photo of him and Lucille taken when they were overseas was exposed. After that, Lucille
requested to see him one last time before his wedding.

In the end, he succumbed to his desires once again when he saw her. He couldn’t even remember who
initiated the kiss in the first place. All he knew was that Jonathan had walked into them having sex.

Even after a long time, Zack was still in a daze, and he could only protest, “Dad! Please let me explain!”
