Leaving The Country After Divorce

Chapter 1900

Chapter 1900 The Life Of Jonathan

Jonathan and Madilyn had a long conversation that lasted for two whole hours.

It never crossed her mind that he had lived a life like that.

When Jonathan was little, probably when he was still in kindergarten, he fell behind in his speech and language abilities. That led him to be considered intellectually disabled at one point. From then on, he had to deal with gossip and people questioning his abilities.

If not for his parents' persistence, he would have been sent to a psychiatric hospital for treatment.

To some extent, the birth of Frieda took some of the adults' attention off him. His sister was a ball of energy, which made her well-loved by many.

Hence, as a child, he gradually grew averse to communicating his thoughts with others.

Jonathan slowly grew older, and during that time, he met Lucian and they became best friends.

That was probably the time when he was happiest. He had less attention from the adults in his life, but that allowed him more opportunities to do whatever he wanted.

It was also then that his trust in Lucian was solidified. Even now, he still believed that whatever Lucian decided had to be the right decision. There was no need to doubt it, and he only had to do as he was told. Never once did he pause to consider his own wishes.

Eventually, he realized that even if he did not express his thoughts or feelings, that did not seem to affect anything.

In middle school, his grades started slipping. Lucian and Elektra would always quietly help him, and later on, he even got to know the whiz-kid, James.

Jonathan envied James as the latter was a veritable genius who could learn anything very quickly.

During those days, Jonathan felt dejected and refused to go home because everyone at home, with the exception of his parents, was disappointed with his academic performance.

They accused him of disrupting their plans, and his uncle even questioned his abilities to his face, saying he was unqualified to inherit the Queen family's businesses in the future.

That period was when he was the most vulnerable yet also the strongest.

After taking the high school entrance exams, he encountered the most painful experience in his life.

Due to his bad grades, he had to separate from Lucian and Elektra because they could not continue attending the same school. Instead, they enrolled in two different high schools catering to different academic abilities.

Jonathan's parents wanted to spend a little money to make a few connections and get him into a better private high school, but he refused.

He became a loner once he was in high school and rarely spoke with others. Although Lucian would call and invite him out during the weekends, he slowly discovered that he seemed to be withdrawing further into his shell.
