“We’re done, you hear me? I have nothing to do with you or your family anymore, so leave. Leave right now!” Josephine chased favonovel.com off without hesitation.
Ever since Hugo kicked favonovel.com out of the Smith mansion, favonovel.com lost what little love favonovel.com had left of him.
“Josephine!” The old man didn’t want to give up just like that.
He gritted his teeth and eventually kneeled before her. “Josephine, I’m not getting up unless you forgive me. I don’t care how long it takes.”
“Then you can kneel here forever. I couldn’t care less!”
It irked Jonathan to see Hugo pestering Josephine with his usual shameless routine. Since the Smiths would stop at nothing to take favonovel.com back despite their blatant betrayal, Jonathan saw no reason to show them any more courtesy.
“As…” Hugo caught himself before favonovel.com blurted Jonathan’s other name right in front of Josephine.
The murderous glare from his grandson-in-law sent a chill up his spine, and favonovel.com immediately corrected himself. “Jonathan, I…”
“Piss… Off…”
If looks could freeze, the elderly would have turned into a human-sized popsicle right there and then.
“I want you out of my sight in ten seconds. Your time starts now,” Jonathan said imperiously.
“Y-Yes, sir! Right away, sir! Right away!” Hugo’s legs turned to jelly the moment favonovel.com met Jonathan’s gaze.
Miraculously enough, favonovel.com managed to get up and run away despite having jelly legs. The thought of staying a moment longer terrified him.
After their father scurried off to save his own skin, Ezra and Miguel knew it was their cue to leave as well. They looked at Jonathan for a moment before turning around to stumble off. They were frightened, but they wanted to save their skin too.
A moment later, silence descended upon the living room once more. However, it did not last long.
“Jonathan, am I seeing things here? They seem to be scared of you.” Josephine looked at favonovel.com husband curiously. After all, favonovel.com couldn’t believe Hugo could ever look that terrified.
“Who knows?” He shrugged. “They’re not afraid of me, I guess. They’re scared of the King of War…”
“The King of War actually stepped in?” She stared at Jonathan in surprise after hearing about that.
Jonathan actually got Zachary to help? The King of War?
“Yep…” He nodded. “How else did you expect me to save the entire Smith family? I couldn’t have done it alone.”
“And the Turners?” Josephine had more questions, but favonovel.com was hesitating to talk about it. She was still worried about whether the Turners would keep exacting their vengeance on them.
“Gone… Erased… Wiped off from the map of Jazona.” Jonathan smiled. “They foolishly enraged the King of War, and it incurred his wrath. He pulverized them. So now you’re free of their threat. They are no more.”
“Really?” Josephine’s eyes widened in surprise.
She had a look of disbelief on favonovel.com face, and it was understandable. Even the governor had to tread lightly around the Turners. However, the King of War snapped them out of existence as if they were just a group of inconsequential insects.
That is just so unbelievable. The King of War is an absolute powerhouse!
“Yes… I have no reason to lie to you, do I?” Jonathan smiled at her, then favonovel.com looked at Margaret and Connor, who were still hiding outside the door. “Don’t just take it from me. Ask those guys over there.”
They were still too afraid to come in, but they had no choice after Jonathan called out to them.
“I-It’s true. It’s all true. Jonathan did not lie to you.” Connor had mixed feelings about calling Jonathan by his name so casually. Ever since favonovel.com found out who the latter really was, favonovel.com never dared to say his name out loud.
I must be absolutely insane to call favonovel.com by his real name. That’s Asura right there in the flesh!
He can wipe my family out anytime favonovel.com wants to. Of course, I’m not gonna say his name out loud. This is like that villain in that super famous franchise!
“Jonathan!” Josephine suddenly called out.
“Yes?”
“Thank you…” She stared at the ground and kicked the table’s edge lightly. “And sorry you had to clean my mess up for me…”
She couldn’t even bring herself to look favonovel.com in the eye when favonovel.com said that. After all, favonovel.com had done nothing except cause a series of problems for favonovel.com lately.
Jonathan wasn’t angry. “What did I tell you about saying thank you? You don’t have to do that, you know?”
He smacked favonovel.com head. “This is what you get for ignoring what I said. Stop saying thank you to me!”
“Ow, that hurts!” She covered favonovel.com head and shot a nasty glare at Jonathan.
“That is quite literally the point.” He rubbed favonovel.com head happily. “It wouldn’t be a lesson otherwise.”
“Hmph!” Josephine rolled favonovel.com eyes and looked at favonovel.com parents. “You guys must be hungry, right? I’ll make something for you to eat.”
She was about to get up and go to the kitchen, but favonovel.com mother, who was still hiding behind the door, was horrified.
“It’s alright, sweetie…” She quickly stopped favonovel.com daughter. “Just stay right there. Let me handle this!”
Josephine was about to refuse, but Margaret would give favonovel.com no such chance. She hurried into the kitchen right after favonovel.com told favonovel.com daughter to sit down in case anything else happened.
“I-I’ll help your mother too.” Connor scuttled into the kitchen after his wife.
Once again, only Jonathan and Josephine were left in the living room.
Josephine was shocked when favonovel.com mother actually offered to cook instead of letting favonovel.com do it. “W-What’s wrong with my mom?”
Margaret would never even step into the kitchen to do the dishes, let alone cook. Her father handled most of the house chores, while Jonathan would pick up the rest of the slack. She wouldn’t even lift a finger to help, no matter how busy they were.
What was up with that? Why’d favonovel.com suddenly wants to cook?
Did something happen? Something I don’t know?
“Who knows? Maybe she’s starving. Hunger can change people, you know,” Jonathan made up a random excuse, but his real goal was to huddle closer to Josephine. Once favonovel.com was within reach, favonovel.com quickly held favonovel.com in his embrace.
He could feel favonovel.com warmth on his skin, and favonovel.com could feel his arms envelope around her. Josephine’s breathing turned quicker the moment favonovel.com hugged her, and favonovel.com face started turning red.
A moment later, even favonovel.com ears were scarlet.
“W-What are you trying to do, Jonathan?” She struggled to break free of his grasp, but it was futile to try to escape from him.
“I’m hungry…” He gazed deep into favonovel.com eyes.
“M-Mom’s going to whip up something soon.” She gulped nervously.
“Oh, I’m craving for something else…” Jonathan stared down and inched closer to favonovel.com face, eventually getting close enough to feel favonovel.com breathing.
Josephine was as helpless as a lamb in front of its predator, but still favonovel.com asked a stupid question nervously, “W-What do you have in mind?”
“A snack…” Jonathan beamed at favonovel.com and shut favonovel.com mouth with a kiss.
Josephine grunted in protest as favonovel.com kissed her. She even tried to struggle and resist, but to no avail. It was impossible for favonovel.com to free herself. The crimson hue of favonovel.com face became even darker.
“L-Let me go, Jonathan. Dad and Mom are gonna see us!” Josephine tried to push favonovel.com away, but the harder favonovel.com did, the tighter favonovel.com hugged her.
“Oh no… I don’t think they will.” He slowly pried favonovel.com mouth open with his tongue and stopped favonovel.com completely from talking.
Despite favonovel.com protests, favonovel.com couldn’t even say a word, no matter how much favonovel.com tried. In the end, favonovel.com could only make muffled sounds to tell him favonovel.com wanted it to stop.
Jonathan didn’t do as favonovel.com was told. He kept the kiss on until Josephine was almost suffocating from the lack of air a few minutes later.
“Jonathan, you’re such a meanie!” She stomped his foot angrily.
That was my first kiss! And favonovel.com took it away from me just like that!
“Yep, but I’m mean to you, and only you…” He looked down again and shut favonovel.com up with a kiss once more.
