Chapter 85

Chapter 85 Department Of National Security Sixth Division Jonathan did not think much of it. After all, Jennifer was a living person. It was impossible for her to just stay in the rental apartment all day every day.

Jonathan was lying on Jennifer’s bed, and he suddenly smelled the lingering fragrance she had left on the bed.

With her scent, it was as if she was beside him.

Jonathan felt aroused again, but this was Jennifer’s bed. Therefore, he didn’t dare to mess around. If I left any traces, I would be in trouble. Staying in my house and peeking at her shower is the best way to release myself.

Jonathan had been busy the last few days, and he was exhausted. Besides, the bed was really comfortable. Therefore, he dozed off before knowing it.

Around eleven at night, Jennifer returned home. She was wearing a red dress, revealing her alluring cleavage. She had curled her hair, and her body exuded an inexhaustible sexiness.

Jennifer pushed open the door. Turning on the light, she saw someone on the bed. She was momentarily taken aback. Fixing her gaze, she realized the person on her bed was Jonathan.

He was snoring lightly, for he was too tired. He did not even wake up when Jennifer came back.

Originally, Jonathan had a strong sense of alertness. If his enemy were after him, he would be able to sense that enemy even if the latter didn’t make a sound. This was Jonathan’s instinctive ability to any crisis.

However, Jennifer had no animosity toward Jonathan, so he was not alerted by her presence. As a result, he did not wake up.

Jennifer averted her eyes, saw the roses on the table, and was thrilled.

Even after her divorce, many middle-aged men still sent her flowers. Although she had received many of them, it was a unique feeling to receive flowers from Jonathan.

In Jennifer’s impression, Jonathan was a burly and rough man who knew nothing about romance.

“He must be exhausted.” Seeing that he was deeply asleep, she couldn’t help but feel her heart clench. Carefully, she tiptoed over, not wanting to wake the man up.

Despite her efforts, Jonathan woke up anyway.

Jonathan sat up on the bed. He was having a sweet dream where he held both Jennifer and Amber in his arms on the bed. He was really fickle in love.

This was the second time he dreamt about that.

While he was dreaming, he suddenly realized something was amiss.

This doesn’t seem right. Judging by Amber’s and Jennifer’s personalities, they wouldn’t be willing to sleep with me. No way. This must be a dream.

Therefore, he tried to hurry up and sleep with them in the dream. Nevertheless, the more he tried to control how the dream progressed, the stronger his consciousness became. With a shudder, he woke up in the end.

Jonathan’s sweet dream was ruined, and he was frustrated. He lifted his head and saw Jennifer.

The woman’s smile was enchanting and made Jonathan stare at her, dumbfounded.

When Jennifer saw the stunned Jonathan, she couldn’t help but cover her mouth and chuckle softly. Then, she asked, “When did you get back? You should have notified me beforehand. Have you eaten yet?”

Jonathan looked at Jennifer’s seductive outfit. Then, without saying a word, he took out his phone and looked at it. D*mn, it’s already eleven.

Irritated, he asked, “Jen, it’s so late. What are you doing outside? Besides, your dress is so revealing. Don’t you know there are many bad people out there?”

Jennifer immediately checked herself in front of the mirror and responded, a little confused, “Is this dress revealing?”

Jonathan stood up and went over to her. When he noticed the alcoholic stench on the woman, he asked, “You’ve been drinking?”

Jennifer nodded.

Instantly, Jonathan’s expression turned grim as he was utterly displeased. She wears this and goes out at night to drink, and she’s just reached home now. What is she doing out there? Is she dating someone? D*mn it!

Even though Jonathan was unfaithful, he couldn’t accept it if Jennifer were to go out with another man. Even if my relationship with her isn’t established yet, I’ll get angry and want to beat people if she were to date another man!

Most of the time, Jonathan was considered a reasonable man. However, when he was unreasonable, he was terrifying.

“You’re jealous?” asked Jennifer with a sly smile.

Jonathan was stunned. As if he was insulted by her, he replied, “I’m jealous? What a joke.”

When Jennifer saw his reaction, she could not help but chuckle happily. She suddenly felt that Jonathan was behaving rather adorably that day. The usual Jonathan was either carefree or cunning and scheming. However, Jonathan made her feel that he was also an ordinary man—one that she could get close to.

Jennifer softened her voice and said, “I attended a class reunion today, and we were at karaoke all night. A male classmate then escorted us home.” She paused and continued, “If you don’t like it, I’ll not join them in the future. Don’t be mad, okay?”

Realization dawned upon Jonathan, and he broke out into a cold sweat shortly after. F*ck! Was I overreacting? He laughed awkwardly and responded, “I’m not angry. There’s no reason to be angry. It’s normal for classmates to get together.”

When Jennifer saw Jonathan’s embarrassed look, she felt even more amused. She stopped laughing at him, worrying that he would feel annoyed if she went too far. Therefore, she asked, “Are you hungry? How about I cook you a bowl of pasta?”

Jonathan was starving. He rubbed his tummy and responded, “Yes, I am hungry!”

Jennifer let out a chuckle and said, “Wait a minute. I’ll cook pasta for you.” After saying that, she turned and went into the kitchen.

Looking at her gorgeous retreating figure, Jonathan felt a hint of warmth bubbling in his heart.

The warmth Jennifer gave him could not be replaced by other women. He frequently wanted to indulge himself in the gentleness of Jennifer. Occasionally, he thought about starting a family and living a blissful life with Jennifer.

Nevertheless, the thought made him break out in a cold sweat, thinking that those days would be terrifying.

However, whenever he faced Jennifer, he would be overwhelmed by mixed feelings.

About ten minutes later, Jennifer cooked a bowl of chicken fettuccine alfredo for him. She also got a cold beer for Jonathan because she knew he enjoyed that beverage.

Jonathan sat down at the table, took a sip of the cold beer, and ate the pasta with relish. There is nothing better in my life than this. At the same time, he casually said, “By the way, this flower and this bag are for you.” Then, he presented a branded bag to her.

When Jennifer saw the bag, she was immediately overjoyed and began to blush.

“I like it very much,” said Jennifer.

Jonathan laughed and responded, “I’m glad you like it.”

After Jennifer received the bag and flowers, she sat down next to Jonathan. She asked softly, “Have the last few days gone well?”

Jonathan nodded and said, “Very well.”

Jennifer smiled faintly and uttered, “That’s great.”

She didn’t ask him the details.

Jennifer was sharp-witted. She knew men did not like others questioning them too much. After all, if a man wanted to elaborate, he would.

Jonathan was still worried about Jennifer’s feelings. He felt he had to tell her what had happened at Golden Years. He took a mouthful of pasta and took a sip of cold beer before saying, “Jen, I bought Golden Years.”

Jennifer was taken aback and asked, “Is that the haunted house we saw the other day?”

Jonathan nodded, grinned, and said, “I bought it with two million.”

Jennifer felt giddy and asked, “What did you buy this haunted house for? Are you going to use it as a bar? But...”

“Jen, don’t worry. I’ve already cleared up the paranormal happenings in the house. Golden Years is worth at least ten million or more. That also means we had already made about eight million before we even started,” responded Jonathan.

Jennifer, however, was still concerned. “Even if you’ve solved the paranormal happenings, no one would dare to come to this bar.”

Jonathan replied, “Don’t worry about that. Amber will open Golden Years with the police and write a special report tomorrow.

After that, we will redecorate Golden Years. According to the characteristics of the place, we will set up a horror-themed bar. This bar will be very distinctive, and I believe it will attract many young people.”

Jennifer was stunned, and then she realized that Jonathan’s suggestion was rather odd and inspiring. Creating a horror-themed bar with the traits of Golden Years was something no other bars could do. That was Golden Years’ advantage.

Maybe this bar will really be a hit.

“You’ve been busy lately because of the bar?” asked Jennifer, looking gently at Jonathan.

“Kind of.”

Jennifer whispered, “It must be really hard for you.”

Jonathan grinned and shrugged his shoulders.

After eating the pasta, he couldn’t bring himself to continue staying at Jennifer’s house any longer. After saying goodbye to her, he was tempted to kiss her, but he stopped himself.

Jennifer was shy, so it was unlikely that she would take the initiative to kiss Jonathan.

When he returned to his house, he took a shower. After that, he was really energetic because he had already slept earlier.

Therefore, he began to cultivate Ultra Sun Moon Mantra on the bed.

The medicinal effects of Supreme Nascent Pill had not fully kicked in. He took a deep breath and circulated his energy through his body to volatilize the medicinal effect.

He only felt the vitality in his body becoming even thicker.

As expected, he could not break through and obtain Nascent Soul level of cultivation.

After Amber returned to Horington that day, she talked to her father on the phone, and they had a great time chatting.

Then, she received another call from the sixth division of the Department of National Security in Yaleview. It was Mabel, the chief, calling her. She thanked Amber for capturing Zachary.

Amber was embarrassed to take credit in front of Mabel, and she gave the credit to Jonathan.

Mabel actually investigated Amber and knew that the latter came from a noble family. Nevertheless, she knew of Amber’s abilities and wondered how she could arrest Zachary.

After Amber explained it to her, Mabel finally understood what had happened.
