“Yup!” Jonathan nodded before exclaiming in surprise, “Why are you not in bed?”

“I’m not feeling sleepy yet.” Despite her words, Josephine’s bloodshot eyes betrayed her. It was clear as day that she wasn’t only sleepy, but very much so.

After saying that, she fled.

“What’s wrong with her?” Josephine eyed Jonathan with furrowed brows when she saw Emmeline’s unusual reaction. “Did you ride roughshod over her?”

“Of course not!” Jonathan wore an expression of exasperation. “She’s just a little down after having been disparaged by her friends at the birthday party.”

“But why do I feel as though she fears you?” Josephine perceptively noticed Emmeline’s atypical behavior.

Under usual circumstances, she would definitely be standing before him. When they came home today, however, she stood behind him tensely as though she didn’t dare stand in front of him!

“What is it?” Sitting down beside her, Jonathan lightly inhaled the alluring scent that wafted off her.
