Rebirth of Billionaire's Wife (Eveline)

Chapter 223 223: I want to see her break

Susan gave Jonathan his morning tea and took a step back. She was a distance away, her lips trembling to form a word as she fidgeted with her fingers.

"What is it, Susan? Why do you appear so nervous?" Jonathan asked, glancing at Susan over the newspaper in his hand.

Susan flinched at his deep rusky voice and shook her head.

"I am not nervous Master. In fact, I would like to ask you something," she said, and he responded.

"Go on"

"It is about Jacob," she said, finally expressing her thoughts, and he stopped reading.

He folded the paper, placed it on the table, and picked up the cup.

"What about Jacob?" he inquired, taking a sip from the tea.

Susan looked down, unable to meet his gaze, and said, "You gave him a job and cleared his debt? Why?"

Jonathan leaned back and looked at Susan thoughtfully. He was aware of what was going on in her mind, but she was too shy to express it.

"He begged me," he said, and she looked up to him.

"He confessed his crime and begged my forgiveness."

Susan's eyes flickered with confusion. It was too good to be true that Jacob was truly regretting his previous actions, because he had been acting out of character since she had saved him from the debt collector. Something she could not digest.

To exacerbate her concerns, he also disclosed his employment at Jonathan's company.

"But how, after all that, can you forgive him so easily?" Susan was unable to finish because she realized she had suddenly become emotional. But she simply could not accept that Jonathan would forgive him for his crime and give him a stable job in his company. What if he is not a changed man? What if he is still in the box of doubt?

Jonathan smiled, understanding her concerns, but he was not someone who would risk making a mistake.

"I saw through his sincerity, Susan, and if you can believe me, trust me, I saw a resemblance to old Jacob in him," he said, leaving her stunned.

"I have an eye that can see through people's intentions, and believe me, this time it is for real." With a confident smile that made Susan feel less shocked, he said, "The old Jacob is slowly coming back."

Years had passed since Susan had last seen her loving and supportive husband.
