Chapter 302


    As soon as Jonathan turned around, he saw Mabel standing at the door with a wide grin.


    F*ck! What the heck!


    Jonathan cursed inwardly at that sight.


    He was reminded of all the sweet nothings he had told Jennifer earlier and figured Mabel must have


    heard them all. Feeling incredibly embarrassed, he wished the ground would swallow him whole.


    Without showing him mercy, Mabel chuckled and said, “Won''t be able to get off the bed, huh?”


    Jonathan cleared his throat awkwardly and said, “I''m heading out.” He then ran out as though he was


    running for his life. As he ran, he could hear Mabelughing at him.


    He felt weak in front of Mabel. Her aura would always intimidate him so much that he would not dare to


    talk back to her.


    It was half past three in the afternoon. The sun was shining brightly, and the sunlight was warm.


    There was still some time left until the operation at night, so Jonathan nned to find a ce to eat


    and drink first.


    He had wanted to go out by driving Mabel''s military car, but he did not have the keys. He could not


    bring himself to ask Mabel for the car keys after what had happened earlier either.


    Left with no choice, he sighed and quickly left Appleton Residences.


    Right then, Jonathan''s phone rang again. This time, it was from Amber.


    Jonathan''s heart skipped a beat. He wondered why everyone was calling him that day.


    Still, he did not let that question hold him back as he happily answered the call. “Amber,” he said in a


    rather cheerful tone.


    However, Amber was not in a good mood. She had been feeling torn, so she assumed Jonathan would


    be experiencing the same torture too. Yet, when she heard his cheerful tone over the phone, she


    realized he was unfazed by everything.


    “You''re a jerk!” Amber eximed and hung up the phone.


    Jonathan was confused.


    At that moment, he finally understood why people often said a woman''s mind was unfathomable.


    He did not find anything worth for him to feel troubled about. If Amber could let him go, then so be it.


    Otherwise, he would not mind getting together with her. After all, it is pointless, in his opinion, to


    hesitate so much about making one decision in life. Life is short, so why be so serious about


    everything?

    Jonathan could not experience what Amber was experiencing, nor could he understand her feelings.


    As someone who practiced Destino Art, Jonathan set his goals beyond everything in this mundane


    world. He firmly believed in achieving a state of mind where nothing could bother him.


    One might ask what it meant. To put it bluntly, if an individual with that state of mind found a phone


    model to their liking, they would not let anything stop them from purchasing it. Simrly, if that individual


    wanted to own a certain sports car, they would not hesitate to buy it.


    If that individual did not buy or own anything they liked, they certainly had not achieved that state of


    mind.


    To individuals like Jonathan, the rules of the mundane world could no longer hold them back. This


    group of people was beyond those limitations.


    However, Jonathan did not try to understand Amber''s feelings and the factors holding her back. Unlike


    him, Amber was still held back by those rules and could not find her way out.


    Her parents, her elders, and Arthur, her grandfather, were her restraints. They could never allow Amber


    to be a man''s mistress, and Amber could not ept being someone''s mistress either.


    Still, Amber knew that she deeply loved Jonathan.


    Having met someone as outstanding as Jonathan, Amber could no longer be interested in any other


    man.


    Like in the fictional novel, Return of the Falcon Heroes, after Sandra heard stories about The Falcon


    Hero at Frangonie Wharf, she never got to move on from her admiration for Yaro.


    She spent the rest of her life searching for Yaro, but she did not put that into action. If she was serious


    about looking for him, she could find him. Her one-sided longing for him only showed that she could not


    move on from him over the years.


    When she turned forty-one years old, Sandra was struck by a sudden realization and founded the


    Esberg School, bing a master of her generation. Her first disciple was given the title of Master


    Frangonie, which symbolized her first encounter with Yaro at the Frangonie Wharf and her inability to


    move on from him ever since.


    As a matter of fact, Sandra was not the only woman who could not move on from Yaro. Lorraine and


    Eleanor, too, spent the rest of their lives alone.


    If Amberpared herself to Sandra, then Jonathan would certainly be her Yaro. She could not afford


    to love him, but she could not move on from him either.


    Jonathan might not seem like a reliable man. Sometimes, he would appear to be someone who would


    not take things seriously. But Amber knew him well. She understood him and believed he was an


    outstanding and upromising young man.


    Back when she first met Jonathan, despite his behavior, he was also the person who had strategized


    and navigatedplicated matters with ease in the detention center.


    When they were at Golden Years, Jonathan refused to leave and give up on her even when he had to


    risk his life. He did not do that because he had feelings for her but for his peace of mind.


    Amber could not stop thinking back on all the memories they shared.


    Every time she wanted to move on from him, her memories from the past would haunt her. She knew


    deep down that she could never find another man who could make her heart thump so loudly as


    Jonathan did.


    Her feelings for Jonathan were much more profound, and she was also much bolder than Jessica.


    Jessica liked Jonathan too, but she chose to retreat, whereas Amber still decided to stay in Yaleview


    despite knowing Jonathan would marry someone else soon.


    She made that decision because she believed she could help Jonathan if she stayed in Yaleview, not to


    mention she could also be closer to him.


    Liking someone would always make one feel like iming that person as their own. But when one is in


    love with another, one could only think of sacrificing themselves and doing everything for the other


    person.


    It was the same for Sandra from the fictional novel, Return of the Falcon Heroes. She mentioned during


    her sixteenth birthday that she never knew what wishes to make for her birthdays in the past, but she


    wanted to dedicate her sixteenth birthday wish to Yaro so that he could find his love, Le, soon.


    Meanwhile, Jonathan put his phone away and nned to continue to find something to eat.


    If Jonathan were an attentive person, he would have called Amber again, but he clearly did not even


    think of doing that.


    Amber looked forward to receiving his call, but he would never do that.


    Soon, when she realized Jonathan would not be calling back, she could not help dialing his number


    again.


    Jonathan answered the call and asked cautiously, “Did I do anything to make you mad at me?”


    “I want to see you. Where are you?” Amber asked.


    “I''m in Yaleview. Where are you? I''ll go to you.”


    “Let''s meet at Starbucks on Southlink Street.”


    “Sure. I''ll head over there now.”


    With that, they ended the call.


    Jonathan believed a woman''s mind was unfathomable, so he knew he should avoid offending one at all


    costs. Since he had nothing else to do, he thought he might as well head over to Starbucks right now.


    Around forty minutester, Jonathan arrived at Starbucks in a cab.


    The street in front of Starbucks was decorated by a dense row of huge trees. A breeze brushed past,


    and the sunlight was warm. It was the perfect weather for people who chased after a modern lifestyle to


    enjoy a cup of coffee in a coffee shop while listening to the birds chirping outside.


    Jonathan stepped inside the coffee shop and did not take long to see Amber sitting in a corner.


    He hurried over to her.


    Amber was in her police uniform, looking cool and confident, at the same time seductive to the


    surrounding men. After all, it was difficult for men to resist a beautifuldy in a police uniform.


    Conquering a beautiful police officer certainly felt incredible, especially when Amber was already so


    gorgeous.


    She had the softest and most supple skin, with a tinge of blush on her face. In her police uniform,


    Amber could certainly draw much attention by walking on the streets.


    However, Amber looked extremely solemn at that moment.


    Jonathan wanted to tease her at first, but when he took in her expression, he could not help but


    be a little serious as well.


    He sat across from Amber and asked, “What''s the matter?”


    Before Amber could say anything, a waiter came to their table.


    Amber said to the waiter, “Give us two cups of coffee, please.”


    “Sure!” The waiter quickly walked away.


    “I''ve been thinking about this for a while now,” Amber started cautiously, looking up at Jonathan. Her


    eyes were bright and clear, but there was a hint of persistence and seriousness in them.


    Jonathan was notpletely clueless. He seemed to have understood something from the look in her


    eyes. He said in a low voice, “Go on.”


    Amber said, “I''m traveling from tomorrow onward. Eskaria will be my first destination. I think I won''t


    return until two or three yearster.”


    As a smart man, Jonathan immediately understood the implication behind her words. “I respect your


    decision.”


    Tears brimmed in Amber''s eyes as she said, “I will forget you. I know I can do that.” Then she stood up


    and dashed out of Starbucks.


    It was at that moment that Jonathan could finally feel Amber''s pain.


    Was I being too selfish?


    Shortly after, the waiter sent two cups of coffee to their table.


    Jonathan took a sip of the coffee before paying the bill and leaving the coffee shop.


    He did not chase after Amber. Although he knew if he chased after her and coaxed her with some


    sweet nothings, she would choose to stay with him, he could not allow himself to do something so


    despicable.


    Perhaps this is the best ending for both of us. At least I tried my best, and I don''t regret anything now. I


    should have a state of mind where nothing can bother me. I should do things I want to, but I should


    know I don''t have to force myself to keep pushing until I reach my goals.


    At five o''clock in the afternoon, the sun was red, whereas the sky was blue, and the clouds were white.


    There wasn''t much great weather like this in Yaleview in a year.


    Jonathan took a deep breath before exhaling.


    He swept away the sorrowful feeling in his heart, then raised his head. He was determined to start a


    new chapter in his life.


    It was difficult to halt a cab at that hour since it was considered rush hour.


    He had another option, which was to use the subway, but the subway was too crowded for his liking.


    If he had to take the subway, he would rather run home.


    Jonathan stood on the roadside and waited patiently for an empty cab to pass by.


    His luck was not too bad. Ten minutester, he sessfully halted a cab.


    Jonathan was about to get inside the car when he heard a woman''s voice from behind him. “Sir, could


    you let me get in first? My stomach hurts!”


    He turned around and saw it was a pretty pregnant woman in her twenties. She had a beautiful and


    youthful-looking face, but her belly was swollen, indicating she was at least eight months pregnant.


    Jonathan looked at her face again and noticed she was not a Chanaean but a Thymionian. It was worth


    praising that the pregnantdy spoke fluent Chanaean.


    Noticing that she was sweating, Jonathan knew she was not lying about her stomachache. “Of course.”


    As he spoke, he opened the door for the pregnantdy and carefully helped her get inside the cab.


    “Oh, no, I forgot my purse.” The pregnantdy''s expression changed as soon as she got inside the cab.


    Seeing that, the cab driver said, “It''s okay. I can send you to the hospital without charging you.”


    “Thank you,” said the pregnantdy. “But I still need money for my medical bills. Sir, could you wait for


    me for a while? I''ll get my purse right away.”


    The cab driver hesitated for a brief moment and said, “Sure!”


    It was heartwarming to see there were many kind-hearted individuals in this society.


    Realizing that it was inconvenient for the pregnantdy to move around, Jonathan asked, “Where are


    your family members?”
