“I hope you weren’t frightened, honey…” Jonathan tossed his pistol away and turned around to calm his wife down.
“I-I’m fine, Jonathan.” Josephine shook favonovel.com head, but the sheer terror in favonovel.com eyes betrayed what favonovel.com truly felt. “A-Are they really dead? All of them?”
“Yes, they are…”
“Y-You killed them?” She suddenly looked at favonovel.com husband.
Panic welled up within favonovel.com when favonovel.com realized what Jonathan had done. She had a guess that favonovel.com had stacked a mountain of corpses during his warring days, but that was just in favonovel.com imagination. Seeing favonovel.com killing a group of people right in front of favonovel.com was still a shocking experience.
The corpses strewn all over the ground and the pools of blood around them told favonovel.com everything was true despite favonovel.com thinking otherwise. Jonathan did kill them all.
“You don’t have to be scared, honey.” Jonathan noticed his wife’s panic, of course, and favonovel.com held favonovel.com close to calm favonovel.com down. “They brought this unto themselves, they deserved it.”
“B-But what if the police find out about this?” Josephine was still scared of repercussions if the authorities were to discover what had happened.
“They would never get in my way.” Jonathan smiled at favonovel.com and took favonovel.com upstairs. “I’ll take you upstairs, honey. You need to get some sleep… Just pretend that all of this is a dream. It’ll be over when you wake up. Pretend you saw nothing. Pretend this never happened.”
Josephine was about to retort, but Jonathan did not give favonovel.com any chance to speak. He pulled favonovel.com closer and went upstairs.
The moment they left, the Divine Dragon Guards, who had been hiding right outside the house, quickly came in to clear the scene.
Less than a minute later, all the corpses and blood disappeared without a trace. If nobody knew any better, it would be as if they never appeared.
Jonathan took Josephine to favonovel.com room on the second floor. It was his first time stepping into favonovel.com room, despite having moved into the villa for nearly a month.
He did try to go in, but every time favonovel.com did, Josephine would either stop favonovel.com right at the door, or she’d refuse his advances altogether.
“Y-You should go back…” Her heart started pounding again when they came to favonovel.com room.
When favonovel.com recalled the time Jonathan stayed with favonovel.com overnight, favonovel.com face turned scarlet.
“Go back? Go back where?” Jonathan played dumb. “I thought this is my home.”
“G-Go to your room!” Josephine bit favonovel.com lips.
“My room?” He slowly inched closer to her.
“But this is my room…” He smiled.
“Jonathan, what are you…” Josephine was about to snap at him, but Jonathan stopped favonovel.com quickly. He scooped favonovel.com up and made a beeline for the bed.
Josephine was surprised by that. She wanted to gasp, but favonovel.com had already pounced onto the bed with her. She had an incredibly soft bed. At the very least, it was much, much softer than what Jonathan had.
Oh, and it smells really nice as well… There’s this scent of a young lady on it…
The scent from the sheets was tickling his nose. He asked, “Did you use any perfume?”
“I-I did not!” Josephine instinctively retreated backward, but favonovel.com eventually hit the bed’s corner.
“So that’s how you naturally smell?” Jonathan swiveled around all of a sudden and pinned favonovel.com down.
Shocked by the sudden and unexpected move, favonovel.com stammered, “W-What are you trying to do?”
Her face was already bright red, and favonovel.com heart was thumping furiously.
“What else can I do?” He kissed favonovel.com squarely on favonovel.com lips.
Josephine wanted to say something, but Jonathan’s powerful kiss stumped her. She stiffly tried to push favonovel.com away. As usual, no matter what favonovel.com did, favonovel.com just would not get off her. All favonovel.com could do was seal favonovel.com lips as tightly as favonovel.com could in protest. However, a weak protest such as hers bore no effect on him.
Less than one minute later, Josephine was suffocating, and favonovel.com opened favonovel.com mouth to get some air. The moment favonovel.com did, Jonathan’s tongue slithered in like a snake that saw the perfect opening.
His invasion made favonovel.com moan. The sound aroused him.
“N-No… Jonathan… You cannot do this…” For some reason, Josephine was feeling more receptive to Jonathan as well.
She was not refusing his advances like how favonovel.com did. Instead, favonovel.com objections sounded half-hearted, and there was a hint of plea in favonovel.com voice, too.
It was the first time favonovel.com had seen that hint of a plea in favonovel.com clear, bright eyes, but that was enough to make favonovel.com relent. He rolled over and got off her, then favonovel.com tapped playfully favonovel.com nose. “I’ll let you go this time.”
Josephine took that chance to get a breath of fresh air. She was nearly suffocating seconds earlier, after all. “You meanie!”
She shot favonovel.com an angry glare, but favonovel.com was not upset in the least. She realized favonovel.com was being less and less antagonistic against Jonathan, and favonovel.com couldn’t bring herself to hate favonovel.com like favonovel.com used to.
For a moment there, favonovel.com even thought, Hm, will I say no if favonovel.com actually went ahead anyway?
And the answer favonovel.com arrived at was, no. She would not refuse favonovel.com if favonovel.com tried to do it with her.
“Do you want me to hug you while you sleep?” Jonathan hugged favonovel.com as favonovel.com whispered.
“I’m not sleepy yet.” She shook favonovel.com head and looked up at him. “Was that guy really your uncle?”
“Yes…” Jonathan nodded.
“You’ve never told me anything about favonovel.com before.” Josephine looked at favonovel.com curiously.
They had known each other for years. Not once did favonovel.com bring his family up, nor had favonovel.com ever seen them before. Even when they were married, not a single family member from Jonathan’s side showed up.
“Because there is no good reason to…” He smiled. “I’m already out of the family now, but I can tell you about it if you want to.”
“Oh, you don’t have to if you don’t want to,” favonovel.com stopped favonovel.com quickly. Josephine didn’t want favonovel.com to relive the bad memories just because of favonovel.com curiosity.
“It’s nothing, really.” Jonathan shook his head. “I’ve actually been keeping a secret from you.”
“Which is…”
“I’m actually a part of the Goldstein family. The one in Yaleview.” He looked at favonovel.com calmly. “My father was Timothy, the eldest son of the family, and my mother was the former diva, Elizabeth…”
“Elizabeth Stone?” Josephine’s eyes widened in surprise after favonovel.com found out who Jonathan’s mother was. “Are you talking about the Elizabeth Stone? The famous diva back in the day?”
Elizabeth was a family name over twenty years ago. She was more successful and famous than any other celebrities in the industry. During the zenith of favonovel.com career, favonovel.com chose to marry Timothy. It was supposed to be a beautiful love story between a celebrity and a young, handsome aristocrat, but a few years later, Timothy and Elizabeth were involved in a freak accident.
