“Mmm…” Josephine’s mind drew a blank as favonovel.com eyes grew as wide as saucers.
In fact, favonovel.com even forgot to resist, allowing Jonathan’s tongue to roam freely in favonovel.com mouth and brush against favonovel.com teeth.
“Ouch!” Suddenly, Jonathan felt a sting on his tongue before Josephine pushed favonovel.com away. “Why did you bite me?”
Jonathan licked his lips gently while his tongue was still reeling from the pain.
“Jonathan, d-don’t come any closer.” Josephine was blushing so hard that favonovel.com looked like a red lobster.
In fact, one could obviously tell that favonovel.com cheeks were already burning up.
“All right, I’ll keep my distance. There’s no need to be afraid.” When favonovel.com saw Josephine’s terrified reaction, Jonathan couldn’t resist laughing. After all, favonovel.com was not in a rush at all. I’ve waited for four years, so a little longer wouldn’t make any difference.
“You’re not allowed to laugh!”
When favonovel.com saw the devious look in Jonathan’s eye, Josephine gave favonovel.com the side-eye.
“Fine. I’ll stop laughing…”
Easing his smile, Jonathan licked his lips.
Hmm, it tastes really sweet. Not bad!
“Jonathan, you…”
When favonovel.com saw Jonathan’s reaction, Josephine blushed and wished the ground would open up and swallow favonovel.com whole.
“You must be hungry now. Come, I’ll take you someplace for food.” When favonovel.com saw how intensely favonovel.com was blushing, Jonathan stroked favonovel.com head with a grin.
Even though they had been married for a long time, that was the first time favonovel.com saw Josephine’s coy feminine side.

Ten minutes later, their car stopped outside a restaurant. Even though it wasn’t a high-end restaurant, the place felt cozy.
The moment they entered, they could hear music playing throughout the restaurant. After taking their seats, Jonathan gave Graham a call.
A short while later, Graham’s voice rang out from over the phone. “Mr. Goldstein!”
Jonathan instructed, “You can cancel the collaboration you have with the Smith family…”
“Cancel it?” Graham was surprised to hear Jonathan’s words. “Mr. Goldstein, what happened?”
“It’s not your place to ask.” Jonathan was lazy to explain. “All you need to know is that from tomorrow onward, the ecological park project will go on as usual. The only difference will be having your partner changed to Josephine.”
“Yes, Mr. Goldstein!” Graham didn’t dare waste a second.
“What would you like to eat?” Just as Josephine had finished ordering, Jonathan ended his call.
“Anything will do,” Jonathan casually replied.
In truth, favonovel.com didn’t like the food at the restaurant. If it weren’t for Josephine, favonovel.com would never have stepped in.
“A medium steak for him,” Josephine ordered on Jonathan’s behalf. “What would you like to drink?”
“Water will do.”
Casually pouring himself a cup of water, Jonathan related, “I have come to an agreement with Graham Group. From tomorrow morning onward, you will be in charge of the ecological park project.”
“They agreed?” Josephine looked surprised as favonovel.com didn’t hold up any hope at all.
“Of course!” Jonathan replied with a smile. “Given that your husband was the one asking, there was no way they were going to say no.”
When favonovel.com heard favonovel.com mention the word “husband”, Josephine blushed as favonovel.com rolled favonovel.com eyes at him. Even though they had been married for three years, favonovel.com had never addressed favonovel.com as such.
After taking a sip from favonovel.com drink, Josephine called out, “Jonathan…”
However, before favonovel.com could finish, Jonathan interrupted her, “Call me hubby!”
Ignoring his request, Josephine glared at favonovel.com and continued, “What is your real relationship with Graham Group?”
“Didn’t I tell you before?” Jonathan gave Josephine a curious look. “I met Graham once when I was at the King of War residence.”
“That’s it?” Josephine knitted favonovel.com brows slightly. Evidently, favonovel.com didn’t buy his story.
How is it that the Graham Group is willing to risk the wrath of the Turner family by continuing working with me on the project after having just met Jonathan once?
That’s just impossible!
“That’s all there is to it,” Jonathan nodded calmly.
It seems that favonovel.com is beginning to have suspicions over my identity. This is happening faster than I expected…
“Forget it. If you refuse to tell me, so be it.” Josephine shook favonovel.com head and didn’t press favonovel.com any further.
It was obvious to favonovel.com that Jonathan wasn’t telling the truth. In truth, favonovel.com had long sensed that there was something suspicious about his identity.
It was hard for favonovel.com to believe that a mere retired soldier of the King of War Division could command so much respect from the mayor of Jadeborough and have the chairman of the Graham Group eating out of his palm. Even Andrew, the highest-ranking military officer in Jadeborough, addressed Jonathan as Commander.
How is that possible?
“Not that I refuse to tell you, but you won’t believe me even if I did!” When favonovel.com saw the frown on Josephine’s face, Jonathan couldn’t help but sigh. “Would you believe me when I tell you that I’m Asura?”
“No way!” Josephine’s first reaction was disbelief.
How can Jonathan be the mighty Asura?
Three years ago, favonovel.com led the four King of Wars and the Divine Dragon Guards to defeat the nation’s enemies. Within two short years, favonovel.com had managed to bring peace and stability to the country…
If there were really a god on Earth, Asura would be the one! Three years ago…
Suddenly, Josephine’s expression drastically changed.
Didn’t Jonathan mysteriously disappear three years ago and was never heard from since?
Could it be…
Holding that thought, Josephine suddenly raised favonovel.com gaze at Jonathan and shook favonovel.com head vehemently.
It’s not possible!
How can it be him? Both of them are the exact opposites of each other! Three years ago, favonovel.com was still doing chores at the Smith residence while Asura led his armies to war!
“There, I knew it! You wouldn’t believe me even if I told you…” Jonathan shook his head with a chuckle when favonovel.com saw Josephine’s reaction.
He had already expected Josephine not to believe him. After all, it was implausible for anyone to imagine that the terrifying Asura, who struck fear into the hearts of whoever heard his name, was the useless live-in son-in-law of the Smith family three years ago.
“Jonathan, I don’t mean that,” Josephine quickly explained, aware that favonovel.com reaction might have hurt his pride.
“I understand. Quick, dig in.” Jonathan tousled favonovel.com hair.
Just when favonovel.com was about to say something, favonovel.com suddenly heard a loud bang in the restaurant.
As favonovel.com turned to look, favonovel.com realized that the sound had come from the television.
