Chapter 139 Saving Jonathan

Milly couldn’t believe him. This isn’t the point!

Jonathan, upon hearing her, assumed it was her being nervous about the wire because she saw it for the first time. He flashed a reassuring smile. T okay. This setup is professional, no danger here.

“And the crew has checked it thoroughly. So, don’t worry, everything’s fine.”
