Love Her to No End

Chapter 26

Chapter 26 Hidden Intentions

In a matter of a week, the spotlight on Quentin’s interview shifted to the news of some celebrity cheating and becoming a mistress in a relationship.

Even though the behind-the-scenes of wealthy families could attract the attention of the public, it seemed as though people were more interested in the personal lives of celebrities.

Following suit, more and more secrets of famous people were revealed, overtaking the internet. Before long, the Xanders and the Lingards were no longer the topics of discussion.

Meanwhile, ever since they had bid farewell at Haversville Pavillion, Jonathan had been waiting for Michaela’s phone call.

Usually, a phone was like an accessory to Jonathan. It was something he could live with or without. However, ever since that day, Jonathan had not let his phone out of his sight.

 

As Walter put it, it was as though Jonathan sprang up to life whenever his phone rang, but when the caller ID was not who he expected, all of the excitement would drain from his body as he tossed his phone aside.

The desolation in Jonathan’s eyes made Walter’s skin crawl.

 

Because of that, everyone in Shappiray Mansion had been actively avoiding Jonathan, afraid that they would accidentally trigger the ticking time bomb and cause themselves unnecessary issues.

In the beginning, Jonathan would even request Walter to check if there were any intercepted messages due to connection problems, or if there were something wrong with his phone that was preventing him from receiving phone calls.

It wasn’t long before Walter started avoiding Jonathan as well, praying not to bump into the latter, for he could not bear to trample on the poor man’s hope.

However, Walter could not help but think it strange. Many women would have given anything to be in Jonathan’s bed, yet Michaela seemed to have no desire to be associated with Jonathan. On the other hand, Jonathan seemed determined to win her over.

Walter could almost predict the storms of the coming days. He had no doubts that life would no longer be simple.

In the end, Michaela still did not call. Rather, it was Gary who brought the news that Jacob had returned to Haversville Pavillion with a mountain of gifts.
