Chapter 47 I Am Not A Princess
Polly then pondered and said, “Do you think Leonardo will admit defeat just like that? Although the world outside doesn’t know about this matter, there are still some gossips that are spreading like wildfire in the martial arts world.”
Jonathan responded, “Of course, Leonardo wouldn’t admit defeat so easily. But Kiki has definitely given him a shock. So, even if he does take action next time, he won’t be that careless anymore. In other words, he’ll either do nothing or make a move when he’s confident that he can kill me.”
Polly said grimly, “Exactly my thoughts.” She paused for a while and continued, “I have some connections who provide me intel. I’ll help you to monitor the situation.”
Jonathan grinned and replied, “Thanks a lot.”
Polly flashed him a smile. Suddenly, she said, “Hey, Jonathan. I have an idea. I promise you won’t have to worry about the future if you follow my plan.”
Feeling curious, Jonathan asked, “Huh? What is it?”
Polly explained, “Amber is not an ordinary person with common family background. Besides, she doesn’t have a boyfriend yet. If you can be in a relationship with her and eventually become her husband, Leonardo won’t dare to mess with you so easily again.”
Jonathan chuckled and responded, “Never mind. Leonardo might be powerful, but I’m not at that stage where I need to rely on a woman for protection.”
Polly smiled faintly and uttered, “I knew it. An ambitious person like you won’t bother to do such things. Then again, Amber is really an amazing woman. Are you really not attracted to her? Don’t tell me you only like Jennifer?” After a brief pause, she said in a strange tone, “Jennifer might be pretty, but she’s a divorcee. Objectively speaking, her criteria is not as great as women like Amber’s, Jessica’s, and Yasmin’s. And out of all people, you have a soft spot for Jennifer. Tell me, are you some kind of weirdo that likes women who are older than you?”
Jonathan was shocked by her words. “That’s right. I like older women. I like you too, Ms. McDaniels. Would you like to date me?”
Polly rolled her eyes. She was a decent woman who would not make such bold jokes with Jonathan. Immediately, she rose to her feet and replied, “Okay. That’s enough nonsense. I’ll get going now.”
Seeing that, Jonathan got to his feet to send her off.
At five o’clock in the evening, Jonathan wanted to pick Jennifer up from her workplace. However, when he recalled her icy attitude, he figured there was no need for him to go there and make a clown of himself. Though Jonathan was a frivolous person, he was extremely prideful.
He had spent his entire day sleeping. In fact, he ate nothing apart from his breakfast.
After deciding not to pick Jennifer up, he fell back to sleep. His sleep pattern was different from that of ordinary people. When he was asleep, his breathing would coincide with the celestial bodies, which could give him more energy.
It could be said that he was like a god of sleep.
At nine o’clock at night, Jennifer finally returned home from work. Jonathan was woken up by the sounds of running water. Hence, he guessed she must have gone straight into the bathroom to shower.
At first, he did not really care. After all, he felt Jennifer was too fickle. Hence, he decided to do nothing.
However, the more time passed, the more he thought something was amiss. Jennifer had been in the bathroom for over two hours.
Suddenly, Jonathan started panicking as the sound of water could still be heard.
D*mn it. She can’t have slit her wrists, right?
Cursing under his breath, he rushed over to the bathroom and barged in without hesitation.
In reality, he could have knocked on the door before entering. Surprisingly, that thought never crossed his mind at that moment. Perhaps, deep down, he just wanted to barge in to take a look.
As soon as the door swung open, he was greeted by a steamy scene.
Jennifer was wearing a dress and sitting on the floor. What was more surprising was that she had already fallen asleep. It was apparent that she had too much to drink.
She was completely drenched, revealing the exquisite curves on her body.
The sight before Jonathan made him excited yet worried for her. Thus, he stepped forward to turn off the shower and carried her out of the bathroom.
After carrying her to her bedroom, he was faced with a crucial situation. He could not bear to leave Jennifer sleeping in a wet dress.
Hence, he had to help her take off her dress, wipe her body, and put on tight-fitting pajamas on her.
This was what every righteous person would do.
After half an hour, he finally left her room reluctantly. He had already done all the steps he had thought of earlier, taking care of every possible aspect. It was time for him to leave since he had touched every part of her body during the entire process. He felt that if he were to remain there, he would turn into a bloodthirsty beast that would devour Jennifer.
Although Jonathan was a sc*mbag, he was still a person with boundaries.
At three o’clock in the morning, he woke up to the sound of muffled sobbing. The weeping sound was suppressed so much that an average person would not have heard it. Despite that, Jonathan had an incredible sense of hearing. Thus, he still heard it clearly.
It was Jennifer who was crying.
Jonathan’s heart ached. What’s wrong with Jennifer? He leaped off his bed instantly and arrived at Jennifer’s room door, where her suppressed sobs became clearer.
Jonathan called out, “Jennifer?”
The woman in the room froze at the voice. Sitting on the bed, she wiped off her tears and responded, “I’m fine. Go back to sleep.”
“What’s wrong?” Jonathan could not help but ask. At the same time, he forced the door open.
Shocked by his violent actions, Jennifer quickly hid under the blankets. She did not want him to witness her weak and tearful side.
At the same time, Jonathan could not bear to see women crying. Hence, he did not turn on the lights. Instead, he walked straight to the bed and lifted the thin blankets.
Right then, he saw a sexy-looking Jennifer curled up on the bed. It was a rather seductive sight.
“Just exactly what is it you can’t tell me?” Jonathan fumed. He, too, knew his actions were inappropriate, but that was how he was when his temper flared.
Jennifer did not respond. At that moment, she looked pitiful, and her sobs became louder.
To Jonathan, she had always been a prideful woman who never liked showing her weakness to outsiders. Initially, he thought his rough actions would make her infuriated. To his surprise, she only cried even harder. Her pitiful and tear-stained face left Jonathan bewildered.
“I’m sorry, Jennifer,” he apologized hurriedly and covered her with the blanket. He then shamelessly climbed into the bed and wrapped his arms tightly around Jennifer, who did not struggle and remained curled up in his embrace.
She looked just like a little girl from the neighbor’s house. At that point in time, she could not be bothered to think about anything else. All she wanted was to enjoy the rare embrace.
Jonathan, on the other hand, was feeling blissful as he could hug such a beauty.
After a long while, Jennifer’s sobs became softer, and she dozed off. Jonathan, too, fell asleep in that position.
By the time he woke up, it was already five in the morning. The sky outside was slowly becoming bright. Suddenly, his eyes flew open, and he saw Jennifer’s pitch-black eyes staring at him.
Seeing the man slowly open his eyes, Jennifer panicked and shut hers hurriedly.
In the meantime, Jonathan glazed his eyes over Jennifer’s seductive, red lips. Unable to control himself anymore, he leaned forward and kissed it. It was an instinctive reaction—a feeling of adoration toward beautiful things.
At first, Jennifer struggled slightly. However, she soon immersed herself in Jonathan’s passionate kiss. Jonathan kissed her greedily, and the two of them launched into a passionate moment.
At that moment, Jonathan had the urge to bring things to the next level. However, the second he shifted his hand, Jennifer caught it. “I have something to tell you. I’ll let you have me when I’m done.”
When Jonathan heard her words, he bubbled with excitement.
Jennifer, on the other hand, was rather calm. She was so calm that Jonathan found it unfamiliar. After a few seconds of silence, she finally explained, “My dad is the section chief of the auditing bureau. My mom is a mathematics teacher at a prestigious high school. I was brought up in a well-off family, and I’m the only daughter.
I’m my parent’s most precious girl, and my mom would always say I’m her little princess. Similarly, I’m a little princess to my relatives and friends. From kindergarten till university, I’ve always been one of the top ten scorers. Hence, I’m also my teachers’ favorite.”
Jonathan listened to her quietly, not having any intentions to interrupt her tale.
Jennifer continued, “In the past, I imagined I would get married to a prince charming, or like those fantasy stories where my potential husband would descend from colorful clouds to take my hand in marriage. Then, I met my ex-husband, Wesley. He was the president of the student council. He was always dressed in a white suit which made him look gentle and refined. When he pursued me, I could not help but fall in love with him.
However, my parents were against our relationship. Hence, I fell out with them and got pregnant before marriage. In the end, they had no choice but to compromise and let me get married. After that, I gave birth to Winnie. Unfortunately, it was only after the marriage that I realized there was a difference between our imagination and reality. Wesley was an incompetent person who could not stay for long at any job. Worst of all, he’s a compulsive gambler.
Evidently, I’m not some girl everyone loves and adores, nor am I some princess. I’m just a stupid woman. At first, I had given up on all the men. However, I get lonely sometimes in the dead of night. I still have some fantasies about love. After that, I met you, Jonathan. You’re different from the men I know, and I feel that you’re a real gentleman. I kept thinking about this over and over again. You’re just a security guard. Though I’m a few years older than you, I should still be worthy of you, right?”
