Chapter 60 Handsome And Familiar

Meanwhile, Jonathan was exasperated.

The two times I left abruptly, she would definitely cause me to worry.

The first time was when he returned to the headquarters in Epea, Michaela had gone shopping. Not only did she buy a super short skirt and a top that exposed the mid-riff, but she was also picked up by guys asking for her number.

Now that I had to rush to Yaleview, she actually had the gall to get herself drunk in a bar?

Even though he wasn’t worried about her safety due to Gary’s presence, he was still incensed when he saw the video Gary sent him. The sight of all the salacious men’s preying eyes drove Jonathan to such anger that he felt like murdering someone.

On the way home from the airport, Jonathan checked his phone repeatedly and managed to keep the anxiety he felt well hidden. Nevertheless, his eyes were spitting fire when he saw the intoxicated look on Michaela’s face.

“Jonathan, are you waiting for a call?” Mavis probed when she noticed the look on Jonathan’s face.

In her mind, her son had always been composed due to him maturing at a young age. Therefore, it was a rare sight to see him feeling so unsettled.

Can it be that he’s in love?

“There’s something I need to deal with. Once we reach home, I won’t be going back into the house with you and Dad. Given the long and arduous journey, both of you must be tired. Hence, you should rest early once you have your meal.”

The moment he heard that something had happened, Nick insisted on returning despite being dissuaded from it.

After Jonathan had already related everything in detail, Nick was further infuriated and scolded Zack for being so careless.

As Adrian was the person Nick respected the most, he had initially planned to join the two families via marriage. Now that Zack had betrayed the Simmons family with his actions, Nick was well aware that it was his mistake. Consequently, he insisted on personally apologizing to both Hannah and Michaela for it.

However, as Hannah wasn’t in Quakersville, he knew there was no point rushing.

Nonetheless, he still felt lingering anger over Jonathan hiding the matter from him. The moment he heard the latter’s words, he snorted, “What are you so busy with all the time? Despite your age, you don’t even seem concerned that you’re still single. When I was your age, your brother was already two years old. You should really hurry!”

His father seldom interfered in trivial matters such as pestering him to get married or introduce a girl to him, for such matters were usually within his mother’s domain. As a result, Jonathan was startled by the former’s comments.

Before he could reply, Mavis jumped into the fray.

Even though you’re the sponsor, you’re still not allowed to criticize my son!

“I’m surprised that you have the cheek to say it. Jonathan had his own plans initially, but in the end, you had to dump your entire company on him. How is he supposed to have to go dating? Just talking about

this makes my blood boil!”

In the face of his wife’s temper, Nick broke into a sheepish smile and pulled her into his embrace. “Look, you always complain that I don’t care about Jonathan’s affairs. But now that I want to do my duty as a father, you end up scolding me instead. In that case, I’ll just stop commenting, all right?”

“He’s my son. You’re not allowed to reprimand him!” Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

Refusing to accept his explanation, Mavis turned her head grumpily to the side.

“I won’t, I won’t. You can calm down now.”

Jonathan was amused to see his father react submissively after being at the receiving end of his mother’s stick.

Trying desperately to hold back his laughter, he averted his gaze when he caught the death glare his father flashed at him. Worried that he would get on his father’s nerves again, he quickly gazed out the window instead.

Even Walter, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, was surprised by the scene.

He had assumed that Jonathan had picked up his smooth skills in pursuing girls from his diligent study of romance novels. He didn’t expect the latter to have inherited them from Nick instead.

When their car arrived at the Xander residence, Nick shot Jonathan another glare while Mavis was gradually alighting. With an authoritative voice, he ordered, “Invite Mich over to lunch one day. Even though Hannah is not at home, we still have to treat Mich right. Also, I’m going to give Quentin and Yvonne a call and admonish them over their son’s behavior. At the end of the day, What’s the use of making so much money?”

“Got it, Dad,” Jonathan grunted in acknowledgment.

Despite being filled with anxiety, Jonathan saw Nick stop and turn around again. “Since Mich is staying with you, you had better mind your manners and treat her well!”

“Of course!”

When he saw the obedient expression on Jonathan’s face, Walter sniggered to himself, You can rest assured that Mr. Jonathan will definitely not neglect Ms. Lingard. In fact, his excessive interest in her is enough to make everyone feel awkward.

After giving out his instructions, Nick walked into the Xander residence without looking back.

Thus, he did not see how Jonathan anxiously slip back into the car and barked to the driver, “Head to Broken Hearts Bar at Fragrance Street!”

I must teach her a lesson for being rebellious while I’m away.

Even though he had steeled his resolve, he didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry at the sight that greeted him at the bar.

“Mich, let me tell you. I… I have seen the light. Men… They are nothing but jerks. Just like Alois… He never bothered to tell me that he had no feelings for me. Instead, he made me wait for so many years. In the end, he rejected me after I have devoted so much of my emotions to him. Tell me… Did he do it on purpose?”

Both of them had a lot to drink. In contrast to Lorelei’s rants, Michaela sat quietly at that bar. Suddenly, she exclaimed in support of her friend, “That’s right! Men are pigs!”

Michaela’s cheeks and the corner of her eyes were already tinted red. Her dreamy gaze and intoxicated look further enhanced her alluring aura.

At the same time, her pinkish lips pouted invitingly from the effects of the alcohol.

Faced with the sight before him, Jonathan’s Adam’s apple bobbed in reflex. She really looks adorable when she has too much to drink. It just makes me feel the urge to pull her gentle body into my embrace.

Amidst his shock, he heard Lorelei ask Michaela suggestively, “Mich, do you also have someone you fancy?”

“No, I don’t!” Michaela denied while shaking her head innocently. “I’m not as spineless as you are, for I want to be the queen of my own life!”

“Very good! A queen indeed!” Lorelei nodded. “Nonetheless, I’m sure you will find love within your lifetime.”

When he caught a glimpse of the empty glasses in front of both ladies, Jonathan’s expression darkened. Walking up to Michaela, he called out softly, “Mich!”

“Hmm?” Looking lost, Michaela tilted her head in his direction. “Hey, handsome… Erm… You look really familiar!”

The moment Michaela giggled in front of him, Jonathan’s expression drastically changed.

Handsome? I don’t deny it. But familiar? Has she become so brazen as to not recognize me?

Instead, it was Lorelei who still had the presence of mind to realize what was going on. With an intoxicated expression, she looked at Michaela before turning toward Jonathan. The very next moment, she slapped her forehead. “Mich, this handsome guy is your guardian!”

“My guardian?”

Before Michaela realized what was going on, Lorelei chuckled mischievously. “Michaela, if you hadn’t told me that he was your guardian, I would have assumed that he was your boyfriend. Looking at how anxious he is over you, I think he is better than any boyfriend you might have. Considering how caring,

rich, and handsome he is, you must have done something right in your past life to have such a wonderful guardian!”

At that moment, Lorelei was still oblivious to Jonathan’s intentions. The moment it finally dawned upon her, she was dumbstruck by it.

This is utterly shocking! A guardian has feelings for his ward? What the hell is going on?
