Chapter 156 An Angry Josephine
“Jonathan, have you lost your marbles?”
The moment the left the mall, Josephine stared at Jonathan like a raving-mad woman. “How can you spend more than thirty million just on two watches?”
That’s thirty million, for goodness sake. Does he realize that if we invest that money, we can get at least two to three million in return annually? Instead, he used it to buy two watches?
“I’m not crazy!” Jonathan looked calmly at Josephine. “Didn’t I tell you that this is our first date? So what’s wrong with me buying you a small gift?”
A small gift? He calls thirty million a small gift?
“Jonathan, I realized that I just can’t get through to you.” If it was any other girl, she would already be smiling ear to ear when her boyfriend splurged on such an extravagant gift.
However, Josephine wasn’t someone like that.
She wasn’t the kind who loved to spend their boyfriend’s money.
After all, she had her own pride and principles to adhere to.
“I can’t accept this watch. You should just return it!” If it wasn’t for the fact that they were in public, and she had to mind Jonathan’s pride, she would have returned the watches on the spot.
Thirty million for two watches? Has he gone mad?
“I’ve already bought them, so there’s no point in returning them anymore.” Jonathan had no intention of doing so. Instead, he opened the car door and remarked, “Let’s go, Darling. It’s time to head home.”
“Jonathan, are you trying to kill me here?” Josephine felt as if she was being driven mad by him. “Where did you get the money?”
That’s thirty million, not three hundred thousand. Where did Jonathan find so much money?
“I have a credit card with an unlimited line.” Jonathan waved his black card at her. “When I was at the King of War residence, Zachary gave it to me. I also bought the car with it.”
“You…”
Despite being infuriated, Josephine was at a loss. “Jonathan, do you know that you need to pay back the money you used on the credit card? Where are you going to find it?”
“I know. I’ll think of something.” When he saw that Josephine was incensed, he walked up to her and held her hand. “All right now, Darling. Please calm down. We just had our first date today, so why are you so pissed?”
“How can I not be?” Josephine fumed. “Think of something? What can you even come up with? You haven’t even paid back the money for the sports car!”
If it was anyone else, Josephine wouldn’t even have cared.
However, Jonathan was her legally married husband.
She couldn’t just sit back and watch him jump into a bottomless abyss of debt.
“I have my ways. When I left the army, Zachary still owed me my pension.” Left without a choice, Jonathan pushed the responsibility to Zachary again.
After all, he wasn’t sure how Josephine would react if she was told that the card actually contained more than ten billion and wasn’t a credit card at all.
“Zachary, Zachary again. Jonathan, how much do you owe him already?” Josephine was so outraged that she didn’t even want to look at him. Turning her head away, she got into the car.
When he saw that Josephine was fuming and was unwilling to talk to him, Jonathan had no choice but to start the engine. After that, he turned the steering wheel while looking in Josephine’s direction. “Darling…”
“Don’t talk to me!” Josephine interrupted him with a glare.
“Darling, don’t be angry.” Just when Jonathan reached out his hand to hold her, Josephine didn’t give him the opportunity to do so. “Don’t touch me!”
Evidently, Josephine was utterly furious.
Throughout the journey, she put on a gloomy expression and refused to say a word to him. Even after they reached home, she continued to give him the cold shoulder.
It wasn’t until they were back upstairs that she suddenly turned around and declared, “Jonathan, I won’t talk to you until you return the watches!”
Just as she spoke, she slammed the door shut in Jonathan’s face. The impact covered his nose in dust.
“Darling, wouldn’t the matter be resolved once I return them? Why must you throw a tantrum?” Jonathan scratched his nose in resignation.
This was the angriest Josephine had gotten ever since they were married.
Suddenly, the room fell silent as she continued to ignore him.
Resigned to his situation, Jonathan shook his head and sighed deeply. “Women…”
The night went by in a blink of an eye.
When Jonathan woke up the next morning, he was surprised to find that Josephine was still at home. After all, she had already gone to work at the same time the day before.
“Darling, aren’t you going to the construction site today?” Jonathan asked curiously. However, he was greeted by Josephine’s silence.
In fact, she didn’t even look at him.
“Darling?”
When she didn’t respond, Jonathan walked up to her subconsciously. However, before he could get close enough, Josephine glared at him and snapped, “Don’t come over, and don’t talk to me!”
“Darling, why are you still angry?” Jonathan quickly realized she was still furious about what happened the day before.
“Isn’t it just a watch? We will be done with it once I return them.” Finally, Jonathan chose to relent, as there was no way he could challenge Josephine.
Just as he spoke, Margaret suddenly walked down from upstairs. “What watch? Let me see.”
The next moment, she reached into the box and retrieved the two watches.
When she saw Margaret’s actions, Josephine grew anxious at once. “Mom, don’t touch his things!”
“What about it? So what if I touch them? Aren’t they just watches? What’s the big deal?” Margaret rolled her eyes and ignored Josephine’s words.
However, the moment she opened the box, she was astounded by what she saw.
The watches were unbelievably stunning.
Although she didn’t know much about watches, it was still obvious to her that they were expensive and cost at least ten to twenty thousand.
“These watches are beautiful. Why do you want to return them? Josephine, if you don’t like them, why don’t you just give them to me and your dad?” Margaret picked up the one with the phoenix and put it on. “Coincidentally, both of us need new watches, so just think of them as presents to us!”
“Mom, what are you doing?” Josephine was further incensed when she saw her mom put on the watch. “Who gave you permission to put it on? Take it off at once!”
“Why should I?” Margaret was upset when Josephine ordered her to remove the watch. “You stupid gal, why do return something you don’t like rather than give it to me and your dad?”
