Chapter 17 The Drunk Woman
Jennifer was utterly drunk that night. She had suffered so much misery.
Because she was unlike the other women in the bar, Jonathan still respected and pitied her.
Nonetheless, he still had to carry Jennifer to the bedroom and put her to bed.
While he was doing that, Jennifer muttered, “Dad, Mom, I’m sorry. I didn’t do you proud. I should’ve listened to both of you. I deserve it…”
Jonathan understood how much suffering she had endured.
She put up a tough front to protect her pride, and showed no one her vulnerable side.
With a sigh, Jonathan turned around and went to get some water. Then, he came back with a basin and her towel.
Once the water had boiled, he wiped Jennifer’s face with much care before washing her feet. He got her a blanket and tucked her in. Then, he switched on the air-conditioner.
After all that was done, Jonathan left Jennifer’s bedroom, closing the door behind him.
He left straight away. He believed that a man should always be the gentleman in spite of one’s lust.
Jennifer opened her eyes once Jonathan had left.
She had certainly drunk a lot, but that didn’t mean she wasn’t sober. She just didn’t want to suppress her feelings any longer.
In truth, she knew all that Jonathan had done for her while she was drunk. She knew he had wiped her face and cleaned her feet.
Jennifer felt a surge of warmth swelling in her. She was finally able to trust Jonathan.
Honestly, she would accept him even if he forces himself on her that night.
With nowhere to release his pent-up desire, Jonathan went back home.
He regretted deeply for missing the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
