Love Her to No End

Chapter 66

Chapter 66 Playing With Fire

At the table in the dining room long enough to accommodate a dozen-odd people, the two elder Xanders sat on one side while Michaela and Jonathan took their places opposite them.

Coming in, Michaela was under the impression that the head of the Xander family would preside over the table. That way, she might seize the opportunity to sit with Mavis and away from Jonathan.

Little did she anticipate being grabbed by the wrist as soon as she stepped in.

The sensation of the large mitts wrapped around her wrist had the immediate effect of putting a thorough blush upon Michaela’s dainty cheeks.

There was no way she could have expected Jonathan to behave so insolently in front of the elder Xanders. In the midst of her trepidation, Jonathan said, “My father wants to sit with my mother, so you should come and sit next to me!”

So, it would seem that having been so loving throughout their lives, the older couple were equally inseparable even at mealtimes. That was something that had come to be normalized within the Xander family.

Michaela was somewhat uneasy about returning to Jonathan’s side once more. Her movements became extremely conservative out of fear that she might make contact with any part of Jonathan’s body.

There was still a warmth left around the circumference of her wrist where he had held her a moment ago. It left a titillating sensation so overwhelming that it nearly swallowed her whole. Hence, she was fearful of making any further physical contact with him again.

Mavis was oblivious to the awkwardness between the pair. All that was apparent to her was Michaela scraping away at only what was on her plate with her head bowed. Eventually, she said, “Since you are seated closer, Jonathan, help serve some food to Mich!”

“Got it!’“

Correspondingly, Jonathan did as he was told, only to hear Mavis let out a sigh of disapproval, “How could you ever hope to bring home a wife for yourself being as klutzy as you are? Even your Dad and I wonder whether we would ever live long enough to see you have a family of your own!”

Klutzy?

In Michaela’s esteem, she felt strongly that Mavis did not understand her own son well enough.
