Chapter 53 Caring

Jonathan’s laughter was soft and magnetic. There was a bit of a tremble at the end of his beautiful coda. It was so pleasing to the ear that it would make anyone feel moved.

Throwing myself at him? When Michaela returned to her senses and lifted her head, her eyes met with his. They were dark and seductive. When she processed what he said, she felt like she was running out of breath in an instant as her cheeks felt as if they were burning up.

Red began appearing from the back of her ears toward her delicate face.

Jonathan, who saw all that, sexily swallowed and uttered in a hoarse voice, “Don’t want to let go, eh?”

It was then Michaela noticed her arms were still wrapped around his neck. She quickly moved her arms away and wanted to stand up. Suddenly, her legs gave in, and she almost fell again.

Once again, he caught her in time and steadied her body.

His heated, somewhat coarse fingers touched her slender arms and rubbed on them silently. It made her body freeze stiffly.

The more nervous she was, the more things went wrong. Yet, Jonathan still refused to let her go and teased her, “What are you panicking about? I’m not making you take responsibility.”

His deep, magnetic voice made Michaela almost cry. Who’s taking responsibility for who? Why is he talking like I’m taking advantage of him? This man, even though he looks serious, he’s actually a shameless scoundrel who keeps pushing my limits.

She didn’t know he was actually holding himself back. On one hand, he really wanted to pull her closer, much closer.

On the other hand, he was afraid he was going to scare her and make her actually run away.

At the moment, Michaela was like a frightened rabbit as she froze at her spot. Her watery, clear eyes were slightly red with anxiety.

In the end, he sighed resignedly and went to the couch before patting the spot next to him. “Sit down. There’s something I want to ask you.”
