Chapter 52 Audacious

 

After hanging up Douglas’ boss’ call, Jonathan went back to sleep again. Since Jennifer was already at work, he did not need to send her there. Nonetheless, he wasn’t able to sleep for long as she knocked on his bedroom door a little after eight o’clock.

 

Jonathan was still groggy as he got up to open the door.

Meanwhile, Jennifer was standing outside the room, her expression cheerful. Today, she was dressed in white sportswear and had her hair tied up in a ponytail, looking especially energetic. Not to mention, the fragrance she exuded got him all excited.

Getting to see her every morning was the best moment of his day.

 

As Jonathan saw more of Jennifer’s captivating beauty, he felt she was truly a one-of-a-kind woman. Every movement she made was enough to enchant him. At the same time, he sighed, thinking that Wesley was too oblivious of his fortune to actually divorce someone like her.

 

“Jen!” greeted Jonathan loudly as he beamed.

The woman smiled gently. In fact, she always looked forward to seeing his bright smile and hearing his boisterous greeting every morning. It gave her the impression that Jonathan was a lively and simple man. That was the same feeling one would get from watching a sweaty university student play basketball on a sunny day.

 

It was a kind of personality that was rare in the adult world.

“Hurry up and go wash up. I’m already cooking the pasta. We’ll have breakfast in a few minutes,” she informed.

Jonathan felt a warm feeling in his heart as he replied, “All right!”

 

To him, it was pretty great to be able to wake up and have breakfast ready for him.

The man was a carefree person and did not like to pay much attention to trivial things. When he was alone, he would eat whatever was available. At times, he would even be too lazy and go hungry instead.

Today’s breakfast was chicken fettuccine alfredo and bagels. They were still piping hot, fresh out of the kitchen.

Jennifer was unquestionably a considerate woman, as seen by her meticulous care of Jonathan. The man gobbled up the pasta merrily in an instant. Looking at how he savored it, she shared some of her pasta with him.

Simultaneously, she asked, “What are we doing today?”

Jonathan mumbled while chewing his food, “The boss of that punk, Douglas, said he wanted to treat me to a meal at Riches Restaurant this afternoon. Come with me.”

Jennifer’s expression darkened slightly as she inquired, “Could it be a trap?”

He chuckled. “Doesn’t matter. As long as there’s food to eat.”
