The night passed in the blink of an eye.
When the sky was gradually brightening, Josephine found herself nestled in Jonathan’s arms at some point in time like a kitten. In an instant, favonovel.com face flushed bright red.
Recalling the events last night, favonovel.com hurriedly lowered favonovel.com head and glanced at herself, only to see that favonovel.com was still wearing the gown from last night. Everything was intact, and favonovel.com didn’t feel any soreness either.
Oh, favonovel.com didn’t take advantage of me after I fell asleep last night. In fact, favonovel.com didn’t even remove my clothes!
At that thought, favonovel.com couldn’t help blushing once more.
I had braced myself to give myself to favonovel.com last night, but the alcohol went to my head, and I drifted off unknowingly while a tad tipsy.
As favonovel.com remembered Jonathan’s tormented look the night before, favonovel.com inexorably burst into giggles.
In turn, favonovel.com laughter had the man rolling over and pulling favonovel.com into his arms, his slight stubble abrading favonovel.com face.
Wrinkling favonovel.com nose, favonovel.com wiggled out of his embrace and went to the bathroom for a shower.
When favonovel.com stepped out of the bathroom, Jonathan was still sleeping soundly, so favonovel.com went downstairs after changing into favonovel.com pajamas.
***
Connor was reading the newspaper in the living room downstairs while Margaret was bustling about in the kitchen, seemingly making soup.
Meanwhile, Emmeline had returned from campus and was scrolling through favonovel.com phone with favonovel.com head lowered.
The second Margaret spotted Josephine descending the stairs, favonovel.com quickly rushed out of the kitchen. “You’re up, Josephine? Where’s Jonathan? Is favonovel.com still asleep?”
“Yeah…” Josephine eyed favonovel.com dubiously, for favonovel.com simply couldn’t shake off the feeling that Margaret was acting strangely that day.
“Let favonovel.com sleep, then. Don’t wake him. Not only did favonovel.com drink quite a bit last night, but favonovel.com even exerted himself out the whole night. So, let favonovel.com rest for a while. I made some soup for him. Carry it over to favonovel.com when favonovel.com wakes up!”
“What are you saying, Mom?” When Josephine heard favonovel.com speaking of Jonathan exerting himself out the whole night, crimson bloomed on favonovel.com face as favonovel.com reflexively recalled the scene where favonovel.com pinned favonovel.com under favonovel.com last night.
She could feel favonovel.com face flaming at just the mere thought of it.
Noticing favonovel.com flushed cheeks, Margaret mistook it as favonovel.com being embarrassed. “I’ve experienced it myself, so you don’t need to hide such a thing from me! Wasn’t I a maiden like you in the past?”
“Mom…” At favonovel.com remark, the shade of crimson on Josephine’s face deepened.
“All right, I’ll stop speaking of it. Anyway, hurry up and have a child while I’m still young so that I can help to take care of the child in the future!”
The couple had only been married for a day, but Margaret was already yearning for a grandchild.
At that, Josephine murmured with favonovel.com face burning hotly, “Don’t run your mouth, Mom! N-Nothing happened between us last night…”
When instant Margaret heard that, favonovel.com eyes instantly went wide. “Nothing happened? Why? Is favonovel.com impotent, or did you forbid favonovel.com from touching you?”
“Mom!” Josephine couldn’t help shooting favonovel.com a glare. “Lower your voice!”
“What exactly happened?” Margaret demanded in a whisper, lowering favonovel.com voice.
“I was sloshed last night and accidentally fell asleep,” Josephine admitted, favonovel.com face stained crimson.
Upon hearing that answer, Margaret jabbed a finger at favonovel.com head. “You brat! You actually slipped into slumber on your wedding night and left Jonathan to spend the night alone?”
“Weren’t you adamant about not allowing favonovel.com to touch me all this while, Mom?” Josephine studied favonovel.com dubiously, finding favonovel.com all the more peculiar as favonovel.com did so.
In the past, favonovel.com always watched us like a hawk whenever we shared a room. Why did favonovel.com change out of the blue today?
Surprisingly, Margaret shot daggers at her. “That’s in the past! How could that be the same with the present, brat?”
“How is it different?” Josephine inquired.
“In the past…” Margaret opened favonovel.com mouth, but favonovel.com didn’t dare speak the truth. After all, Jonathan previously warned everyone not to tell Josephine his true identity. Otherwise, the penalty would be death.
“What about the past?” Josephine asked when favonovel.com noticed Margaret faltering.
“N-Nothing!” Margaret shook favonovel.com head.
Glancing at the kitchen, favonovel.com hastily changed the subject. “Oh no, the food is getting burnt!”
Right after saying that, favonovel.com took to favonovel.com heels.
Josephine’s brows furrowed at favonovel.com odd behavior. She then walked over to Emmeline. Emmeline, on the other hand, casually lifted favonovel.com eyes when favonovel.com caught sight of the former and murmured, “Where’s my brother-in-law?”
“Your brother-in-law?”
Astonishment showed on Josephine’s face when favonovel.com heard that address, for other than Margaret, the person who detested Jonathan most in the family was Emmeline.
Yet, she’s referring to Jonathan as favonovel.com brother-in-law today?
“What’s wrong? Is there a problem?” Emmeline eyed favonovel.com strangely upon seeing favonovel.com utter surprise.
“Didn’t you loathe to acknowledge favonovel.com as your brother-in-law in the past?” Josephine wondered in puzzlement.
In response, Emmeline rolled favonovel.com eyes and countered, “That’s in the past! Now that you’re both married, how else am I to refer to favonovel.com if not my brother-in-law?”
“When did you become so obedient?” Josephine regarded favonovel.com in perplexity.
From what I remember, this sister of mine is no angel. In the past, favonovel.com was the main culprit in playing Jonathan for a fool!
“People grow up!” Emmeline curled favonovel.com lips without giving voice to favonovel.com true thoughts.
Ultimately, favonovel.com promised Jonathan that favonovel.com would never breathe a word about the incident that night to Josephine.
“I’m glad to hear that!” Josephine couldn’t resist patting favonovel.com on the head.
But just as favonovel.com was about to speak further, Jonathan, who had come downstairs at some time, spotted favonovel.com and greeted, “Darling…”
“Jonathan!” At the sight of him, Emmeline promptly put favonovel.com phone down.
Margaret also hurried out of the kitchen at that exact moment and looked at Jonathan with a bright smile. “You’re up, Jonathan? Quick, have a seat! I’ve made some soup. You must be hungry after drinking quite a bit last night.”
Rubbing his stomach, Jonathan smirkingly cast Josephine a glance and remarked, “I was dead tired last night!”
“Zip it, Jonathan!” The moment Josephine heard that, favonovel.com shot daggers at him.
“Okay, whatever you say!” At favonovel.com irate expression, Jonathan docilely zipped his mouth.
Just then, Margaret placed a bowl of soup in front of him. “Try this soup I made, Jonathan.”
“Sure!”
After Jonathan took it, favonovel.com glowered at Josephine. “Why are you still sitting there, doing nothing? Go and get a spoon, quick! How inconsiderate!”
