Verily, Josephine was in high dudgeon.
I had actually changed my perception of favonovel.com slightly, but favonovel.com obliterated everything in less than a minute!
In fact, favonovel.com was so enraged that favonovel.com ignored favonovel.com for the entire afternoon and even kicked favonovel.com out of the office, ordering favonovel.com to go home and return the watches.
My anger from yesterday hasn’t yet abated, but favonovel.com just had to provoke me again today!
“Women are truly petty creatures!” Jonathan curled his lips after having been instructed to go home.
It’s been a whole day and night, but she’s still holding on to favonovel.com grudge from yesterday!
To his surprise, no one was in the mansion when favonovel.com arrived home. Even Margaret, who usually chattered endlessly, was nowhere to be found.
At the rare silence, Jonathan lit a cigarette and returned to the room. Then, favonovel.com started training in the Ancient Sacred Dragon Technique.
If I hadn’t come into possession of the Ancient Sacred Dragon Technique by coincidence back then, I probably wouldn’t have transformed from a weak and scholarly man into Asura, who subjugated all nations in a mere three years…
But I simply can’t figure out why there’s only half of the Ancient Sacred Dragon Technique. Where is the other half? Back then, I stayed at Northern Crimson Prison for a whole year to find the other half of it, yet I couldn’t find it even after turning the entire place inside out!
Before favonovel.com realized it, the afternoon passed in the blink of an eye.
When favonovel.com was finally done practicing, Jonathan found that favonovel.com had long since been soaked in sweat. The reek of sweat clung to him, and there was even a layer of dirt on him.
The stench was so pungent that one’s stomach would churn upon catching a whiff of it.
Phew!
Exhaling deeply, favonovel.com casually stripped and went to the outdoor swimming pool.
As the most luxurious mansion in Edenic Heights, No. 1 Villa naturally had a swimming pool. Besides, it was even of the top-notch borderless design, just like those infinity pools at five-star hotels.
He swam for half an hour before getting out of the pool.
However, the instant favonovel.com pushed open the door, favonovel.com was greeted by the sound of something falling onto the floor before the shrill shriek of a woman followed. “Ahh!”
“When did you come home, Darling?” Jonathan looked at Josephine by the door while toweling his hair.
At that moment, Josephine’s face was bright red.
She hastily clapped favonovel.com hands over favonovel.com eyes. “Jonathan, w-why are you walking around naked?”
In response, Jonathan glanced down at himself. “Who said I’m naked? Aren’t I wearing shorts?”
“H-Hurry up and cover yourself!” Josephine’s face flamed as favonovel.com covered favonovel.com eyes. She had never expected to see favonovel.com standing there in a mere pair of shorts just after entering the house.
“We’re married, so I don’t mind even if you look.” Jonathan wrapped the towel around his waist blasely. “All right, open your eyes. I’m clothed.”
Josephine skeptically peeked through favonovel.com fingers, only to hurriedly cover favonovel.com eyes again when favonovel.com saw that favonovel.com had merely used the towel to shield his lower body. “P-Put on a shirt as well!”
Ever since young, favonovel.com hadn’t even touched a man’s hand before, much less experienced such a scene.
“My body is still wet. I’ll put on a shirt later after I’ve dried off.” While saying that, Jonathan silently walked toward Josephine.
Alas, Josephine didn’t realize it at all. Keeping favonovel.com eyes closed, favonovel.com shook favonovel.com eyes and countered, “No! Do it right away!”
“Okay, then. I’ll go upstairs to put on a shirt,” Jonathan replied. Subsequently, the living room plunged into silence.
After a long time went past without a rustle to be heard in the living room, Josephine tentatively called out, “Jonathan?”
There was no forthcoming answer. Only then did Josephine breathe a sigh of relief and drop favonovel.com hands from favonovel.com eyes.
But when favonovel.com lowered favonovel.com hands, favonovel.com abruptly realized that Jonathan hadn’t gone upstairs at all. Instead, favonovel.com was sitting on the couch in front of her.
In a flash, the man’s bronzed skin and his bare upper body were all taken in by favonovel.com eyes.
“How dare you dupe me, Jonathan?” She was so frightened that favonovel.com hurriedly covered favonovel.com eyes again. Stark embarrassment and sheer rage inundated her.
“Hurry up and put on some clothes! Stop being such a rogue!”
“How is this me being a rogue?” Jonathan quirked an eyebrow and drawled, “We’ve been married for several years now, so it’s not a big deal even if I don’t wear a single stitch, much less just baring my upper body.”
“You…” That retort had Josephine at a loss for words.
Indeed, we’ve been married for many years now, but favonovel.com has never crossed the line with me. At times, even I myself wondered whether favonovel.com didn’t dare do so or was impotent!
Only later did I gradually realize that it was out of respect for me. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have any way of resisting with my puny strength if favonovel.com truly wanted to force himself on me.
Sighing, favonovel.com slowly eked out a gap between favonovel.com fingers. Nevertheless, favonovel.com face was still flushed bright red, and favonovel.com didn’t dare face the sight right before favonovel.com eyes.
Despite knowing that Jonathan was favonovel.com husband, favonovel.com still couldn’t accept favonovel.com wholeheartedly.
“Can you please wear a shirt, Jonathan? I-I’m not quite used to it.” This time, favonovel.com no longer phrased it as an order but a tentative request.
“My shirt is behind you, so please snag it over for me.” Jonathan cast his gaze beyond her, and his shirt just so happened to be at favonovel.com back.
“Is this the one you’re referring to?”
Glancing over favonovel.com shoulder, Josephine spotted a black shirt.
“Yeah… Just throw it to me,” Jonathan replied airily.
After a moment’s hesitation, Josephine opened favonovel.com eyes a fraction and tossed the shirt to him.
“Okay, I’m dressed, so you can open your eyes.”
When Jonathan’s voice drifted into favonovel.com ears, Josephine slowly opened favonovel.com eyes. But when favonovel.com did so, favonovel.com caught sight of favonovel.com with his back to favonovel.com as favonovel.com slipped his shirt on to cover his exposed back. But that single glance stunned favonovel.com greatly, rooting favonovel.com to the spot.
Oh my God, what happened to his back?
On his back were crisscrossing scars from blades, bullets, and even extensive burns after being bombarded by missiles.
If favonovel.com hadn’t seen it with favonovel.com own eyes, favonovel.com would never believe the sheer number of scars on his back.
People often say that scars are a sign of a man’s valor, but aren’t the signs of valor on his back a little too much?
“What’s wrong?”
After putting on his shirt, Jonathan turned around, only to see Josephine staring at favonovel.com with a trace of absolute incredulity in favonovel.com eyes.
“W-Why are there so many scars on your back?” Josephine couldn’t resist asking.
“Oh, so that’s what put you into a trance, huh? They’re injuries I suffered on the battlefield back then. It’s no big deal, and they don’t hurt either,” Jonathan answered nonchalantly.
