Chapter 2183
The beautiful woman who came in was not Justin's original wife, but a woman that Justin married after his divorce. She was 33 years old this year and her name was Skylar. After she married Justin, she gave birth to a son and a daughter. Christine, the birthday girl today, was born by Justin's original wife. In this family, she had a bad relationship with her father and was only close to Jonas. She and her stepmother just seemed like enemies. Justin immediately hugged Skylar with a smile and said to June, "This is your sister-in-law, Skylar. From now on, we are a family." Skylar stared fiercely at June. Her heart was filled with sadness. She glared at Jonas angrily. All her love for him had become hatred and made her feel uncomfortable. Back then, she and Jonas studied at a foreign university together. At that time, she was attracted by Jonas. Unfortunately, Jonas was really cold towards her. In order to retaliate against Jonas, she met Justin on a flight back home. Justin just divorced and he was immediately attracted by Skylar's beautiful appearance. When Skylar knew that the Brid family was rich, she married Justin with hatred in her heart. So, she also became Jonas's sister-in-law. The relationship between them was really complicated or even unpresentable. For so many years, Skylar still had a crush on Jonas. Especially five years ago, when Jonas almost died in a big fire. Skylar even took the initiative to go to the hospital to look after Jonas and was severely rejected by him.
June hid behind Jonas. Her clear eyes made Skylar very angry. When she was in her early twenties, she also had such a pair of bright and curious eyes. Unfortunately, she was still three years older than Jonas. All her expectations had failed and she couldn't accept it at all.
Jonas looked at Skylar coldly. In fact, he even felt gross when seeing her. He came here today because of Christine. His brother was completely enchanted by Skylar and the company's power was taken away by her bit by bit. In this family, Justin became the idle one while Skylar became the female boss of the company. Sooner or later, the family would fall apart. Jonas only wanted to plan for his only niece's future. "A family? Justin, Jonas seldom contact us, if he doesn't come today, I will totally forget that we are a family." Skylar's sweet voice sounded very pleasing to Justin.
Justin immediately reprimanded Jonas, "Jonas, although you have started your own business and have your own family, my house is still the home of our parents. You have to come back often when you have free time. Skylar often talks about you and she wants you to come back." "Brother, I'm too busy with my work. Now that I have a new family, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back often. You can come to my company if you are free. I welcome you very much." As Jonas spoke, he took June to the garden beside them.
Skylar immediately pounded Justin's shoulder angrily, "Justin, it's all my fault. It is me who made the relationship between you and your brother become like this. If I had known it, I wouldn't have married you."
"What are you talking about? My brother is always like it. Don't take it to heart. Today is Christine's birthday party. And you prepared well. She will definitely grateful to you." Justin had long been fascinated by this woman and he felt that she was the best in everything.
Skylar's expression was aggrieved, "I hope so. But Christine's personality has become more and more similar to Justin's. I wonder if she won't be close to me in the future."
"No way, Christine is a girl and she is soft-hearted." Justin hurriedly comforted her.
Skylar had a smile on her face but she felt extremely painful in her heart. She really wanted to tear that woman named June into pieces. How could she get Jonas's favor? How could June compare to herself? Skylar was really good at playing a double-faced woman. In front of Justin, she was a delicate and lovely wife. In front of Jonas, she changed into another face and wore a painful expression. Her hatred for him arose from her love for him. She didn't get him so she began to hate him.
Christine sat alone in the garden and threw a stone at the water in front of her. She was still very sad. In this family, her uncle, the only one who truly loved her was married. She would really be alone in the future.
Jonas brought June to the garden. Today, there were many guests, including relatives and friends, but Christine, who was the protagonist, was not happy at all.
Jonas saw Christine sitting on the chair sulking as soon as he entered the garden. He said to June, "Wait for me here. I'll go over and talk to her."This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
June nodded her head and stood still. She watched as Jonas walked over and sat beside Christine.
When Christine saw him, she immediately leaned her head against his shoulder and sobbed, "Uncle, I want to escape from this family. Can you send me abroad to study? I don't want to stay here for a second."
"Alright, wait until the early spring of next year. I will choose a good school for you abroad. You can go abroad and live there." Jonas promised her in a low voice.
"Really? Uncle, did you really promise me this time?" Christine immediately burst into tears and laughed, "Of course it's true. You've grown up and can make your own choice freely." Jonas smiled and nodded.
"Thank you, Uncle. I knew you wouldn't ignore me. Right, why would you take a celebrity as your wife? I remember that you said that you would never get married in your lifetime." Christine was somewhat
dissatisfied with June. She
kas
afraid that her uncle's love for her
would be taken away by this
woman.
"I just want to find a nice woman. She's nice." Jonas said indifferently.
"Alright, you should get married. You can't live alone for a lifetime, you will be very lonely. In the future, if I can find a good man like you, I will also want to get married." Christine said with a smile.
Jonas frowned and scolded her, "I sent you abroad to study, not to fall in love. Remember, if you want to take back everything that belongs to you, you must work hard. Otherwise. this family will really be surnamed Jepson, not Brid."
"Uncle, I don't have confidence. That woman is getting stronger and stronger. Dad only listens to her. I'm really scared." Christine cried again helplessly.
"Don't cry. Yours will always be yours. I won't let her snatch anything from you." Jonas said softly.
"With your words, I feel much more at ease. I promise that I won't fall in love early. I will be as strong as you, Uncle." Christine nodded forcefully.
June, who was standing not far away, could not hear their conversation. However, seeing Christine gently lean on Jonas and even put her head on his shoulder, she felt somewhat uncomfortable.
Obviously, he was her husband but he was polite to her like a stranger. Christine was his niece. They were a family and also like friends. In fact, because of their age difference, people would misunderstand them as a couple.
June suppressed the bitterness in her heart. She was not qualified to be jealous. Christine was his niece. He must have doted on Christine very much. She and he were just a couple in name. Maybe one day, they would break up.
Jonas turned around and saw June standing there alone. The liveliness behind her had nothing to do with her. She only knew him here and her gaze only fell on him.
