Chapter 328 You Shouldn’t Have Kept It From Me


    “I never expected you to secretly set up a ce identical to Springgate Estates,” Ang withdrew her


    gaze and whispered to Jonathan.


    Jonathan handed a key to her and said in a low voice, “This is for you. It’s a surprise and a gift.”


    Ang didn’t take the key. Instead, she looked at Jonathan. Seeing his serious expression, she


    responded seriously, “Jonathan, I can’t ept this. It’s not-”


    Jonathan looked at her helplessly and interrupted her by saying, “Take it. This is our joint property as


    husband and wife.”


    Ang was about to say something else when her phone suddenly rang.


    It was a call from Sophia, whichpletely caught her off guard.


    Jonathan also looked at her phone, signaling her to answer the call.


    As soon as the call connected, Sophia’s voice came through. “Miss Ang? I was dyed by


    something the other day and haven’t been able to contact you. Do you talk


    have time to


    now?”


    Sophia was deeply hurt by Christopher and hadn’t fully recovered emotionally for two days. But thinking


    of the favor requested by Ava, she contacted Ang.


    Ang sat on the couch listening to Sophia’s call while Jonathan poured two sses of water and


    ced them on the coffee table.


    “I have time now, Miss Martinez. What’s the matter?” Ang nced at Jonathan and smiled at him.


    The matter between Christopher and Sophia caused quite a stir in Riverdon. Although Ang didn’t


    witness it with her own eyes in Riverdon, just hearing about it from Cassie was enough to make her


    realize how strange and twisted the situation was.


    In the whole ridiculous incident, Sophia was undoubtedly the most injured and innocent


    one.


    Ang felt a little sympathy for Sophia. Thinking of her was like thinking of her naive self in her past


    life.


    “My friend wants toe to Riverdon to thank you. Can I make an appointment for you to


    1/4


    meet my friend?” Sophia’s voice continued toe through the receiver.


    Ang came to her senses and politely declined in a low voice, thereafter informing Sophia that she


    was not in Riverdon at the moment.


    Although Sophia was somewhat regretful at the news, she didn’t ask further.


    Feeling low in spirits, she hung up after a few words and decided to reply to Ava’s letter.


    After hanging up the phone, Jonathan hugged Ang and asked, “Why do you look so upset?” She


    replied, “Just thinking about some unpleasant things, but they are all in the past.”


    Yes, they are all in the past. Those unpleasant things are all from my past life. Now, I’m living well and


    also have Jonathan by my side.


    Thinking of how Jonathan died at such a young age in her past life, Ang became even


    more uneasy.


    She gazed at Jonathan. “Jonathan, you haven’t been hurting yourself recently, have you?”


    Recalling Jonathan’s serious self–harm issues, she suddenly panicked.


    Jonathan looked puzzled as he asked, “Why are you suddenly asking about this?”


    As he said this, he subconsciously released his left hand and moved it back a bit.


    It was just a subconscious gesture, but Ang caught him in the act.


    Ang ignored her racing heart as she reached out to grab Jonathan’s left arm and rolled up his


    sleeve, causing him to freeze in ce.


    Jonathan didn’t have time to hide, so he just covered Ang’s eyes with his hand.


    “It’s okay. It’s already been bandaged up.”


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    Ang’s eyes instantly turned red, and there was a sharp pain in her chest that she couldn’t control. In


    a choked–up voice she herself didn’t even notice, she asked, “When did this happen?”


    I’ve been keeping an eye on Jonathan recently, so when did he hurt himself again?


    Jonathan hugged her, feeling helpless and at a loss, as he softlyforted her, “It’s okay. It


    doesn’t hurt.”


    2/4


    Ang stubbornly inquired, “Jonathan, when did this injury ur?”


    Feeling resigned, he finally responded, “It happenedst night.”


    Last night, Ang repeated silently in her mind.


    She hadn’t been in Riverdonst night, and Jonathan had a rpse. How helpless and painful he


    must have been at that moment…


    Now, after all this time had passed today, she hadn’t even noticed Jonathan’s injury. She felt


    so careless,


    Ang gently moved Jonathan’s hand away from her eyes, determined to examine his injury. She


    gazed at the blood–stained bandage and asked, “The wound is bleeding. Why haven’t you re–


    bandaged it?”


    Jonathan pursed his lips, choosing not to respond.


    Ang understood that he didn’t want her to know, nor did he want her to worry.


    “You didn’t want me to know, but you shouldn’t keep things from me,” Ang stated, then inquired, “Is


    there a first aid kit?”


    “Yes, it’s in the same ce as in Riverdon,” Jonathan finally replied, though his expression was


    uncasy.


    Ang retrieved the first aid kit and carefully began to remove his bandage.


    “I won’t keep things from you in the future,” Jonathan stated.


    This time was different, as he had not had urges for a long time. His urges coincided with Ang


    leaving, and he was afraid she would misunderstand.


    Ang suddenly left him, and he felt the urge while alone at home. This fact alone made. him fear that


    Ang would me herself.


    “Okay, you’d best remember what you said.” Ang rarely made firm requests, but now she wanted


    Jonathan to give her double assurance.


    Jonathan solemnly provided a positive response, watching Ang as she unwrapped the bandage to


    treat his wound, feeling a warm sensation in his heart.


    In the Collier Residence in Nortnd…


    3/4


    Before Yaxley returned home, Ava was pleading with her mother, Tyra Moore, to allow her to go to


    Riverdon.


    “Mom, please let me go. I promise nothing will happen this time! I want to personally thank the person


    who saved mest time, and also, with what happened to Sophia, I can go and apany her.”


    Sitting on the couch with Ava was a well–maintained woman. The woman helplessly held Ava’s hand


    and sighed. “Ava, let’s discuss this when your brother returns. Your health is not good, and your


    grandmother is seriously ill. It’s better for you not to leave Nortnd at this


    time.”


    Ava reluctantly agreed and asked, “When will my brothere back? He came back for a while at


    noon and left again, but he hasn’t returned yet.”


    She had been pampered and sheltered, relying heavily on her brother, Yaxley.


    Originally, Ava had wanted to use the excuse of visiting Yaxley to go to Riverdon, but she didn’t expect


    her brother to have returned to Nortnd, just not back home yet.


    At noon, it was not easy to get him toe back for a visit, but he didn’t stay long before going to the


    hospital, and he hasn’t returned since.


    Although Ava’s grandmother was in poor health, she was not allowed to visit. One reason was Ava’s


    poor health, and the other was Jacob’s dislike of her being around her grandmother.


    “He’sing back soon. I told Yaxley to make sure hees back for dinner,” Tyra said as she


    nced at the time.


    +


    As soon as she finished speaking, the maid’s announcement came from the door.


    “Yaxley is back!” Ava heard the voice and immediately got up from the couch and headed straight to


    the entrance.


    Upon seeing Yaxley, she gave him a big hug. “Yaxley, you’re finally back! Please help met persuade


    Mom to let me go to Riverdon.”
