    Chapter 46 Values Romance Over Friendship


    Ding-dong! Ding-dong!


    When the doorbell rang, Jonathan opened the door.


    With a slightly resentful look, Vincent grumbled, “Jonathan, what happened to you just now? My leg still


    hurts after you kicked me!”


    Vincent felt disgruntled, for everyone disappeared after he rubbed his leg and stood up in pain.


    Fortunately, Vincent knew where Jonathan’s room was because he had visited the mansion many times.


    Although Jonathan stood at the door arrogantly and was unwilling to entertain him, Vincent wanted to


    turn his body sideways to enter the room. Suddenly, Jonathan lifted his arm to stop Vincent at the door.


    “What’s wrong? Let me get in and take a seat! My leg hurts!”


    “That’s not possible because Mich is in the middle of a shower now.” Jonathan cruelly declined Vincent’s


    simple request.


    “My god! Jonathan, isn’t keeping a distance from women your mantra? Why do you allow your nephew’s


    ex-wife to stay in your room?”


    While Vincent found it hard to believe, Jonathan frowned deeply and exined, “Firstly, I don’t wish to


    hear the word ‘nephew’s ex-wife’ anymore. Secondly, because Mdm. Simmons specifically asked me to


    take care of Mich, so she will have to stay with me!”


    Vincent didn’t doubt Jonathan’s words. After a while, he asked straightforwardly, “How about me?”


    “Are there not enough rooms for you to stay?”


    When Vincent wanted to add something, Jonathan warned him, “Also, stay away from Mich. Don’t use


    your tricks of flirting with other women on her, or else our friendship ends right away!”


    With a thud, Jonathan swung his door shut before Vincent came around.


    “Jonathan, how can you get angry with me over Old Mr. Simmons’s granddaughter!”


    Vincent couldn’t contain his anger and hit the door hard twice. The next moment, he murmured as if he


    had thought it through, “All right. I understand that he respects his mentor. However, he didn’t have to be


    mad at me, right?”


    Feeling aggrieved, Vincent decided to go downstairs to get a room. Just then, a receptionist came up to


    him and said politely, “Mr. Sullivan, Mr. Xander instructed us to get a room ready. Also, he specifically


    asked me to show you the room.”


    Instantly, Vincent’s grievances against Jonathan vanished. He murmured to himself in delight, “Well,


    we’re still good friends.”


    Vincent then shed the middle-aged receptionist a smile and said, “Thank you!”


    Nevertheless, on the way to his room, Vincent got pissed off and silently scolded Jonathan.


    Why is my room far away from Jonathan’s? Did he arrange it on purpose?

    “Uncle Jonathan…”


    Micha dried her hair after taking a shower. Suddenly, the hairdryer broke down, and strands of her


    hair were stuck in it. The pain was so evident to the point that tears filled her eyes. She quickly pulled off


    the plug and sought Jonathan’s help.


    When Micha opened the door, Jonathan happened to step out of the bathroom with only a towel


    around the lower part of his body.


    Jonathan’s muscr and burly body exuded a sense of artistic strength. With only a nce, Micha felt


    a surge of blood flowing down from her nose.


    After casually wiping her nose, Micha saw blood on her palm.


    Micha was shocked at the sight. Even though Jonathan is hot, why do I have a nosebleed? This is


    really embarrassing!


    Although Micha’s instinct told her to run, she couldn’t move an inch, as if someone had ced


    weights around her legs.


    “Are you still looking at me?”


    Micha came to her sense upon hearing Jonathan’s deep voice. She hastily turned around and


    stammered, “Uncle Jonathan, I’m sorry. I didn’t do it on purpose!”


    “Okay!” Jonathan murmured a response. With a glint in his eyes, he said calmly, “If you did it on purpose,


    you have to be responsible for me!”


    Micha wiped her nose in embarrassment. At the same time, her heart thumped non-stop, and her


    ears reddened. Just as she wanted to run away, Jonathan stood before her and instructed, “Look up at


    me!”


    Deep down, Micha knew she was in the wrong for not knocking on the door before entering


    Jonathan’s room. She met Jonathan’s beaming eyes as soon as she raised her head.


    While Jonathan was emotionless, Micha was mesmerized by his perfect facial features.


    After cleaning Micha’s nosebleed for a while, Jonathan seemingly noticed Micha’s stare. With his


    quirked lips, he said, “It appears that you are pleased to see my great figure.”


    “I-”


    Just as Micha wanted to exin, Jonathan interjected, “Don’t move!”


    Jonathan gently brushed his fingers through Micha’s hair near her cheek. After cleaning the blood on


    her face, Jonathan took the hairdryer and noticed the strands of hair in it. He frowned and asked, “How


    could you be so careless?”


    “I had no idea why it broke down all of a sudden. Otherwise, I wouldn’t…”


    Micha’s face flushed, and her voice trailed off.


    Meanwhile, Jonathan could smell Micha’s scent after her shower. Besides, he could not help


    swallowing hard when he saw her flushed face and glistening lips.


    In the end, Jonathan suppressed his desire to kiss Micha and cautiously pulled out her hair.


    “Thank you, Uncle Jonathan!”


    Micha wished to run away from Jonathan, for her face had flushed for some time. She couldn’t help


    but feel that time crawled so slowly.


    When Micha was about to leave, Jonathan suddenly grabbed her arm and said, “Where are you


    going? Come and dry your hair!”


    “No, it’s fine.”


    Although Micha declined it, Jonathan suddenly leaned closer and stared at her. “Don’t be afraid. I’m


    not asking you to marry me!”


    Micha’s face immediately turned red.


    Given that Micha’s mind was a mess, she couldn’t remember why she followed Jonathan into his


    bathroom. All she knew was that her face flushed right through until Jonathan finished drying her hair.


    After that, Micha returned to her room in a daze. cing her hand on her chest, she scolded herself


    for what had happened just now.


    Micha felt that Jonathan drove her nuts every time he was with her. Gosh, I have to get a hold of


    myself!


    I’m so useless!


    Micha stepped out of her room after getting changed. Meanwhile, Jonathan was already waiting for


    her in the living room. Jonathan was wearing a sleeveless polo shirt and khaki pants instead of the


    tailored-made suit that he usually put on.


    Jonathan’s choice of clothes showed his narrow waist, perfect figure, and sturdy biceps. Micha’s heart


    skipped a beat, for she was stunned by his appearance.


    Noticing that Micha was scanning him, Jonathan squinted and put on a faint smile. After a while, he


    said calmly, “Well, have you seen enough?”


    Instantly, Micha’s face flushed red. She lowered her gaze and cleared her throat. “Well, let me see


    what I can get you some breakfast from the dining room.”


    With that, Micha swiftly left the room. She didn’t notice that Jonathan’s lips quirked seductively.


    Micha looks tempting when she is shy!
