Chapter 45


    Chapter 45 My Leg Cramps


    Beep! Beep! Gary came up to the car to open the door for Jonathan. Before Jonathan could stand still, a


    jarring honk of a vehicle cut through the air.


    As soon as a Maserati stopped right behind Jonathan’s car, a man who looked stylish hopped out.


    The man had fair skin, naturally pink lips, and enchanting facial features. He wore a pink coat, a floral


    shirt, and a dazzling earring on his left ear. One couldn’t help but feel that he was a little wild and


    unrestrained.


    It was none other than Vincent. Vincent came up to Jonathan to greet him. However, he didn’t realize


    that annoyance was already written on Jonathan’s face. “Jonathan, I drove as fast as possible and finally


    caught up with you! Anyway, why would a workaholic show up here today? Let me guess—did Cupid


    strike you?”


    Vincent went to Shappiray Mansion early in the morning for a reason.


    Last night, when Vincent was busy entertaining guests, his mother called and asked him to settle down


    soon.


    When his mother told Vincent that Jonathan had a girlfriend, Vincent found it hard to believe. Why didn’t I


    know such a piece of important news?


    Vincent’s mom exined that shop assistants were busy packing luxury items for women in many shops


    when she was in the shopping mall. The shop assistants also revealed that the items would be delivered


    to Shappiray Mansion.


    Even the shop assistants guessed that Jonathan purchased so many luxuries for his girlfriend.


    Rumor had it that no guests were allowed into the inner courtyard of Shappiray Mansion. Even Vincent


    didn’t have the chance to set his foot in it. Since his mom described the situation vividly, Vincent tried to


    call Jonathan to check it out. However, no one answered his call.


    Vincent returned to his table to entertain other guests but eventually fell asleep. It was already the next


    day when he woke up.


    Hoping to find out the truth, Vincent headed to Shappiray Mansion early in the morning but was chased


    away.


    Initially, Vincent thought it was a rumor, and Jonathan worked overtime at hispany. On his way back,


    he happened to stop by the roadside and was surprised to see Jonathan’s car.


    More importantly, Jonathan wasn’t heading toward thepany.


    After recalling what his mom told him, the nosy Vincent decided to follow Jonathan’s car.


    At that time, Vincent purposely teased Jonathan and even pressed Jonathan’s chest with his hand.


    Suddenly, Jonathan shot him a cold nce and pped his hand away. “Remove your hand! Do you


    have to use your hand when you’re talking?”


    As Micha observed their interaction, she couldn’t help but think that Jonathan was a hypocrite.


    Isn’t he the same? He likes to touch someone without a warning!


    Even though Jonathan visibly disdained him, Vincent seemed to have not realized it. Instead, he came


    closer and blinked at Jonathan. “I’ve heard that you have a girlfriend now. Have you brought her into your


    house? Why didn’t I know such important news? Now I know why you didn’t want to join me on the trip to


    Gerton.”


    Well, I’ve brought her into my house, but she’s not my girlfriend yet!


    Since Micha wasn’t in a good mood, Jonathan decided to take her for a break. Besides, he could grab


    the chance to get closer to her. Nheless, he didn’t expect that Vincent would brazenly follow him.


    At that moment, displeasure was written all over Jonathan’s sullen face. He pursed his lips and didn’t


    want to entertain Vincent. The next moment, he waved at Micha and said, “Mich,e here!”


    Mich? Micha Lingard?


    Material ? N?velDrama.Org.


    The answer dawned on Vincent. Pointed at Micha, who wasing over, and said in shock,


    “Jonathan, isn’t thisdy your nephew’s ex-wife-”


    Jonathan red at Vincent coldly right before he could finish his sentence. Vincent had no choice but to


    hold his tongue.


    It’s goddamned terrifying! Did I say something wrong?


    “Mich, this is Vincent Sullivan-” Before Jonathan could finish, Vincent came up to Micha with a smile


    and grabbed her hand, “Hi, Mich! You’re indeed a beauty. Moreover, you’re even more beautiful than how


    you look in newspapers!”


    “Ahem…”


    Jonathan cleared his throat lightly and red at Vincent.


    Urgh! You’re rubbing salt on her wound!


    Meanwhile, Micha put on an awkward smile. She wanted to withdraw her hand but was restrained by


    Vincent’s grip. She had no choice but to greet him back. “Nice to meet you, Mr. Sullivan!”


    Even if Jonathan didn’t introduce Vincent, everyone in Quakersville heard about his nickname.


    Due to his involvement in Voguish Multimedia, Vincent got to know a lot of famous stars. Even though


    Vincent was allegedly in a rtionship with many of them, none sessfully got on his good side.


    Realizing that he had said something wrong, Vincent giggled awkwardly and changed the subject of the


    conversation. “Jonathan and I have been friends since we were young. Mich, feel free to call me Vincent


    if you don’t mind.”


    Vincent?


    “Hi, Vincent!” Jonathan squinted when Micha called Vincent his first name as requested.


    At the same time, Jonathan’s face turned grim when he noticed that Vincent and Micha held hands


    tightly. Although Jonathan was visibly irritated, Vincent seemed to be unaware of it.


    “Jonathan, why didn’t you tell me earlier? I thought you were keeping a lover in your mansion. Anyway,


    since you’re taking Mich on a trip, how could you not invite me?”


    Given that Jonathan was Adrian’s student, Vincent wasn’t suspicious of Micha’s presence in


    Shappiray Mansion.


    As Vincent talked neen to the dozen, he suddenly felt excruciating pain in his calf and nearly went


    weak at the knees. He quickly let go of Micha’s hand and squatted down.


    “Oh my, Jonathan! Did you kick me?” Vincent was all upset.


    “I’m sorry. My leg cramps!” Jonathan replied cidly.


    Ignoring Vincent, Jonathan grabbed Micha’s hand and took her into the mansion. “Let’s go. You


    should get some rest in your room.”


    “How about Vincent…” Micha pointed at Vincent, who was wailing in pain.


    Surprisingly, Jonathan raised his eyebrows and didn’t even nce at Vincent. “Well, he won’t die!”


    Walter stood at the back of the car when Jonathan and Micha left. He couldn’t help but shoot a


    sympathetic nce at Vincent.


    Meanwhile, Gary was taking down the luggage from the trunk. When Gary saw Walter’s expression, he


    said calmly, “I’d suggest that you should mind your own business. How dare you talk so much to Ms.


    Lingard just now?”


    “You know nothing. I was doing Mr. Xander a favor!” Walter pretended to be secretive.


    However, Gary only nced at Walter for a while and continued to carry the luggage into the mansion.


    “Why didn’t you ask me why?”


    “Why then?”


    What a blockhead!


    Walter felt bored but told Gary the answer anyway. “Did you think Mr. Xander really fell asleep? In that


    case, why didn’t he lean against the window but thedy instead? It was all a trick. Do you get it?


    Besides, has Mr. Xander ever failed in getting anything he wants?”


    Gary couldn’t grasp what Walter said, for he thought Jonathan only dozed off.


    Is Mr. Xander really such a person as Walter says?


    While Gary was at a loss, Walter shook his head and patted Gary’s shoulder. “You might be outstanding


    in fighting but you’re too naive. Gary, how can you survive without me?”
