Jonathan was instantly bathed in the golden sunlight, and his honeyâcolored skin glowed in its embrace.

Having guided him into the sunlight, she pulled out a box of doubleâlayered milk pudding and offered it to him.
âJonathan, you wonât find this outside. Give it a try.â

Jonathan examined the doubleâlayered milk pudding in his hand, and as he did, he narrowed his eyes. slightly.
Opening another box, Angela handed it to Sebastian and teased, âSebastian, you should try it too.â
Despite Sebastianâs desire to eat, he hesitated to do so in front of Jonathan. He took it but remained still and attentively observed the latterâs reaction.

Christopher once mentioned that Jonathan was not only physically unwell but also emotionally numb. He even treated his father and grandfather coldly, unlike a normal person.
Jonathanâs faint smile disappeared. âWhatâs the matter?â
Even though she didnât know the dispute between Jonathan and the Sanders Family, since Jonathan was kind to her, a stranger, it seemed that the problem lay with the Sanders Family.
Angela snapped back to reality and beamed at him. Jonathan, this is the first time Iâve seen you smile. You look fantastic when you do. Thereâs a popular guy at our school that many girls like, but I think heâs not as handsome as you!â
âReally?â He looked at her for a moment, then lowered his eyes and responded indifferently. âDo you like him too?â
Oh no, Jonathan wouldnât think she was fickle, would he? That she had dumped Christopher and now liked the popular guy, that she was the kind of girl who liked whoever she saw?
Angela swiftly shook her head. âNo, no, I donât even know him! Youâre way more handsome, and youâve got wealth. If I were to like someone, it would be you.â
Angela paused when she realized how strange her words sounded.

Even when people annoy me, I find happiness eventually. As the saying goes. Donât get angry when others do because it wonât help you. If I die of anger, who would be pleased? Besides, itâs exhausting and harmful.â
Upon hearing âdonât get angry,â he understood.
Jonathan rarely lost his temper, and he was consistently somber. In the future, Angela knew she needed to make more effort to brighten his spirits.
Although she was young, she had profound knowledge. As Charlotte Fisherâs granddaughter, she was truly a valuable asset. It was a good idea to have Angela visit more often to share her wisdom with Jonathan.
