Chapter 41

Chapter 41 An Urge To Marry Her He couldn’t help himself. He had to flirt with Jennifer whenever he saw her. The moment he saw her blush, something stirred in him. At that moment, he wanted to hold her and feel her warm body against his.

I don’t get it. What was that b*stard Wesley thinking? She’s perfect! How could he even mistreat her? Argh! Hmmm... Perhaps she was too young when they met, and her elegance hadn’t emerged.

“Don’t be ridiculous,” Jennifer said shyly.

Jonathan chuckled. “Jen, when I get out of here, shall we finish where we left off last time?”

“What do you mean?” Jennifer asked in surprise.

Jonathan laughed. “Oh, it’s nothing.”

D*mn it, Jonathan! What’s wrong with you? How could you even propose something as indecent as that? That’s not even funny! It could be the fact that he was locked up in a cell. Separated from Jennifer, he got a little unscrupulous.

That was exactly the kind of guy he was. When he was with Jennifer, he could easily make her his. However, he was afraid that she would get hurt. On the contrary, when he knew for sure that nothing could happen between them, he would begin to act unscrupulously.

Meanwhile, Jennifer thought about that night when she had given herself to him out of anger. Because of that, the two of them almost gave in to their carnal urges. If Cyclops hadn’t shown up and interrupted everything, things would’ve been extremely awkward between them.

She didn’t know where she got the courage to do something as absurd as that back then. After everything that had happened, she still couldn’t believe it. She was even terrified.

However, she never expected that Jonathan would bring up that incident as a joke. Embarrassed, she couldn’t stand it anymore, so she stood up and snapped angrily at him, “Forget it. I have nothing to say to you.”

As soon as she said that, she turned to leave, but a group of people entered the police station right then.

Among them were Jessica, Yasmin, Morgan, Amber, and Polly.

Amber was obviously on Jonathan’s side, so Jessica and her company greatly benefitted from it.

Jennifer calmed herself down immediately and greeted everyone.

They all nodded in response.

After that, Morgan went into the interrogation room to talk to Jonathan alone.

Jennifer stayed with the rest of them outside, wondering what Morgan and Jonathan were talking about. Worried, Jennifer turned to Jessica. “Have things turned around?”

Jessica nodded and said, “My granddad went to Jipsdale. He met Leonardo there.”

Jennifer knew that Leonardo was the crux of the entire ordeal. “Did Morgan plead for mercy so that Leonardo would stop pursuing Jonathan?”

It must be! she thought happily.

Lately, she had been afraid that Jonathan would really be sentenced to jail.

At that moment, a loud bang sounded from the interrogation room. Not long after, everyone heard Jonathan’s beastly roar.

“Leonardo’s got a death wish! How dare he demand I kneel and confess to the crime? F*ck! I’ll kill him!” Jonathan roared.

The women outside were shocked by his outburst.

Soon, they opened the door to the interrogation room and saw Jonathan’s bloodshot eyes. Meanwhile, the interrogation table crumbled into bits after he had smashed it.

It was a horrible sight.

In that instant, everyone could sense how terrible things had become. They had also witnessed Jonathan’s scary prowess.

All the women out there finally realized that Jonathan wasn’t a happy-go-lucky man who didn’t have a temper. Deep down, he was filled with pride and aggression.

He also had unyielding strength.

At that point, Morgan had nothing else to say. To be honest, he admired Jonathan’s valiant spirit.

Later, Jonathan was brought back to the holding cell.

Morgan had an announcement to make. “Leonardo wants Jonathan to kneel and admit his wrongdoings. If Jonathan refuses, Leonardo will continue to make his life miserable.”

“But there’s no way Jonathan will agree to that. What should we do?” Jessica asked nervously.

Morgan couldn’t help but sigh. He couldn’t think of any other way at that moment.

“I’ll talk to Jonathan. Can you let me into the holding cell?” Jennifer asked Amber.

All this while, a glass had come between her and Jonathan. They couldn’t have any physical contact.

The meeting in the interrogation room earlier had been an exception made by Amber.

Similarly, she agreed to Jennifer’s request after giving it some thought.

Her admiration toward Jonathan grew after she had witnessed how tough Jonathan actually was. It was exactly Jonathan’s defiance and unyielding spirit that drew her to him.

These days, most men had very little masculine pride.

Some men even got their wives to do all sorts of things just because they couldn’t handle the stress they were facing in life.

Men as masculine as Jonathan had almost gone extinct.

“Come with me,” Amber said to Jennifer as she led the way.

“Could you turn off the cameras in the holding cell?” Jennifer asked, blushing.

Amber fell silent for a brief moment before she nodded. “Sure.”

She opened the door of the holding cell. Jennifer walked in. The moment Jennifer got into the cell, Amber closed the door behind her. At the same time, the cameras in the holding cell were turned off.

Jonathan was sitting silently on the bed. He had managed to calm himself down significantly. He wasn’t as angry anymore.

When he heard someone walking into his cell, he lifted his head and was surprised to see Jennifer.

She looked beautiful in her sleeveless white dress, leaving her arms exposed. The moment she walked in, he had already caught her sweet scent. However, he wasn’t in the mood to tease her.

Seeing that Jonathan wasn’t in a good mood, Jennifer walked over to his bed and sat beside him.

Jonathan chuckled bitterly and said, “Jennifer, you’re not here to advise me to do what Leonardo says, are you?”

“No. I won’t ask you to do that. I know that you won’t do it. You won’t be Jonathan if you surrendered to anyone,” she said as she shook her head.

“Then...” his voice trailed off. He wasn’t expecting that answer. He lifted his head to look at her.

Jennifer’s eyes had gotten slightly red as she got overwhelmed by complicated emotions. “Jonathan, I’m afraid that something bad will befall you, do you understand?”

A warm sensation stirred in his heart when he felt her worry for him. “Don’t worry. I’ll be fine. I’m not staying in this cell because I can’t go out. It’s just that I don’t want to go. I don’t want to leave Horington. I don’t want to leave you behind. I don’t want to become a fugitive. If I really wish to escape, these doors and not even anyone in this police station can hold me back.”

Jennifer knew what he was capable of. She took a deep breath before she continued, “If things ever get messy, you must leave, okay?” After a short pause she blushed and said, “I’ll wait for you. If you are willing to take me with you, I’ll go with you.”

Jonathan was stunned by what he had just heard because he hadn’t expected her to make this decision. “If things really came to that, what about your daughter?”

Jennifer was taken aback by that question. A complicated look flashed in her eyes. After a while, she said, “Once we’ve settled down abroad, I’ll bring Winnie with us.”

Jonathan was overwhelmed by emotions. Before he knew it, he reached out his hand and held her in his arms.

Of course, he wouldn’t let things get to that stage. However, what she said had truly moved him. At that moment, he had the urge to marry her and spend the rest of his life with her.

At that moment, he understood the kind of woman Jennifer was.

She was an amazing woman who would give up and do everything for the person she loved. If she hated someone, she would go to the extremes, but if she loved someone, she would love them wholeheartedly. Love could be blind sometimes.

She’s been hurt by Wesley, but she’s still willing to be with me. I’d really become a fugitive if I go abroad, yet she’s still willing to stay by my side. She knows about my status, yet she doesn’t mind. What is this, if not love?

Meanwhile, Jennifer didn’t struggle as she allowed him to embrace her.

When he held her in his arms and felt her petite body, some emotions stirred inside him.

He knew that the cameras had been turned off. If they weren’t, he and Jennifer wouldn’t dare to be so intimate with one another.

Her scent got him all worked up as he felt his blood throbbing to the lower part of his body. His heart was beating like crazy.

He couldn’t hold himself back anymore. He searched for her red, peachy lips.

Jennifer closed her eyes as if she was a princess waiting for her prince to kiss her.

Unable to resist, he went in for a kiss. In an instant, both of them became enveloped in a deep and passionate moment of desire as their tongues intertwined.

Jonathan could feel his savage self wanting to come out. He wanted to take Jennifer then and there, but fortunately, his rationality kicked in. No! Do not do that!

After a long while, they finally parted their lips.

Jennifer’s face flushed a crimson red. She was completely embarrassed by what she had done. Ahhh! What am I doing? Oh my goodness!

Not long after, she calmed down as she tidied her hair and fixed her clothes. Then, she walked toward the door without looking back at Jonathan.

He knew that she was too shy.

Obviously, Amber noticed how red Jennifer’s face had become when she got out of the holding cell. Whoa! What were they doing in there?

Jennifer felt everyone’s eyes on her. How she wished to dig a hole and disappear right then and there!

She ran out of the police station without explaining herself.

That was how guilt felt like.

The door of the holding cell opened. Everyone except Polly and Morgan went in. The two were mature fighters, so they stayed outside to discuss their next move.

“You animal! What did you do to Jennifer?” Jessica barked angrily at Jonathan the moment she stepped into the holding cell.

At first, everyone was shocked by Jonathan’s outburst, but everything changed when they recalled Jennifer’s odd behavior after she had spent some time alone with Jonathan in the holding cell.

Jessica wanted answers.
