Chapter 39 Jonathan Has A Girlfriend?

Emilia couldn’t believe what she was hearing Jon has a girlfriend?”

Her initial shock quickly turned into embarrassment, but she quickly regained her composure and adopted a more mature attitude.

“You’re back,” she said coldly as Angela entered the room.

Angela, trying to ease the tension, forced a smile and explained, “Yes, Grandma. I came back because I didn’t have classes today.”

Marilyn, the elderly lady chatting with Emilia, noticed Angela and expressed genuine surprise. “Oh, this is Angela. She’s really beautiful.”

Angela greeted her with a friendly smile. “Nice to meet you, Ma’am.”

“I heard you’re a university student. That’s really impressive, Marilyn praised. “My son isn’t so good. He gets a headache whenever he reads, so he started working early.”

Emilia, with her old–fashioned views, couldn’t resist making a sarcastic remark. “What can a girl achieve? Angela, you might as well find a good man and get married early. You’re young, so you can find a good man.”

Emilia, a woman from the countryside with traditional thoughts, had been brought over by Donald and his wife after her husband passed away. Even her cousin’s quick marriage after graduation involved Emilia Thinking about this, Angela laughed nonchalantly, “Grandma, it’s not that I’m against marriage, but come on, I’m not even 20 yet. Breaking the law isn’t exactly on my to–do list. Going to jail doesn’t sound like a fun adventure, does it?”

Without waiting for Emilia’s response, she excused herself, claiming she had other things to attend to, and headed upstairs.

Emilia stood there in momentary shock, and her expression shifted through several colder shades.

Having lived in her son–in–law’s house for years, she was used to being the elder with the final say. This backtalk was a rarity!

“She’s so stubborn!”

Marilyn, standing nearby, felt a bit uneasy but then considered that Angela did make a valid point.

University students should prioritize their studies, and many get married after graduation.

Moreover, it was a law set by the state. Could there be an issue with the state’s regulations?

As the saying goes, educated people tend to have logical arguments.

Marilyn thought Angela was pretty smart. She turned to console the upset Emilia, saying. “Emilia, I think she has a point. Angela is young, and marriage isn’t something she needs to worry about right now. Plus, she seems quite respectful. She greeted you politely and treated you as an elder.”

#TS Free Coins Emilia’s expression soured further at these words. Don’t be fooled by her. It’s all an art. Did you hear what she said just now? I’m trying to help her, and she acts as if I’m trying to harm her, even bringing up the law! She’s treating me like a wicked old woman!

Marilyn fell silent. She was unsure how to respond. “You might be overthinking this. Where did that idea?”

Emilia rolled her eyes and remained unconvinced.

Angela climbed the stairs and returned home. Upon entering, she noticed a small six–inch birthday cake sitting on the table.

“Auntie, is it Quincy’s birthday today? Did I forget?” She quickly reviewed the birthdays of her family members.

Hecate wiped her hands and came out of the kitchen. “I bought it for you, Angela. I remembered that you like cake.”

Angela instantly felt that this was likely a gesture to make up for the cake Emilia had taken. Warmth filled her heart.

Donald and his wife always kept her in their thoughts, but in her past life, she had distanced herself from them and sought connections with people who barely acknowledged her existence.

Wasn’t she just blinded by superficialities, even blinding her eyes to genuine care?

At that moment, Emilia returned. She had been eavesdropping at the door. In the past, all good things. were handed to her. Now that Angela was present, everything seemed to favor her!

They welcomed Angela into their home, provided her with a place to stay, and generously offered her meals. So, why should they go the extra mile to buy her luxury food and drinks?

Emilia couldn’t help but express some sarcasm. “What’s the point of eating cake when it’s not even your birthday? This cake isn’t cheap, Hecate. You can’t spoil her like this. If she can’t manage her spending when she’s out, how will she survive?”

Noticing her mother at the doorway, Hecate’s smile became a bit uneasy. She quickly explained, “Mom, this is a cake that someone else ordered and then changed their mind. They sold it to me at a discount, less than half the usual price.”

“Yeah, Mrs. Langdon. It’s okay if it’s a bit expensive for our own family to eat. Besides, it’s just an occasional treat, not an everyday thing.” Donald cheerfully stepped forward to mediate “We still need to be cautious. The money in this house didn’t come from nowhere. In the future, won’t Quincy need money for marriage, or won’t Queenie require us to spend money and effort when she has a baby? Can Angela treat you like her own parents?”

It wasn’t her parents she was being respectful to.

Despite the gentle persuasion, Emilia didn’t show any signs of approval. Mainly because the thought of the cake being bought for Angelá made her feel uncomfortable.

Why was she so sensitive? Emilia believed there was a reason why the Kin family didn’t like her.

Angela frowned. The previously pleasant family atmosphere was completely ruined.

In the room. Quincy also came out with a frown. “Grandma, it’s just a cake. Consider it an early celebration of my birthday.”

With Quincy speaking up, Emilia’s face changed several times, as if she was suppressing her anger. Her tone finally softened, “Fine, eat if you want to, but be careful on normal days.”

The family breathed a sigh of relief, and their expressions gradually relaxed. Angela couldn’t help but glance at Quincy, her heart fluttering slightly.

Was Quincy standing up for her?

“Thank you, Quincy.” Angela quickly approached and thanked him sweetly.

Quincy snorted coldly, ignoring her as if she were invisible, and went to the kitchen to help serve the food.

The improvement in their relationship was a positive sign.

Angela hurriedly rushed to assist and brought out the homemade double–layered milk pudding she had saved for the family.

With determination, she persisted in sticking close to Quincy and said, “Quincy, try the milk pudding I made later.”

Quincy gave her a cold glance, ignored her, and walked away..

Angela touched her nose and made a mental note to bring her sister–in–law back after the exam!

Early the following morning, she prepared the medicinal meal and went to the Lawson Family. Upon arrival, Sebastian escorted her inside but asked her to wait in the guest room.

“Alright.” Angela agreed. She had already noticed that there were visitors in the house before entering.

Next to the shoe cabinet by the entrance, there were two additional pairs of shoes.

She didn’t know who they belonged to. Could they be Jonathan’s business acquaintances?

Sebastian returned to Jonathan’s study and knocked on the door.

“Come in.” An elderly voice came from inside the room.

In addition to Jonathan, there was another elderly man with white hair sitting in the room. He was dressed in a dark gray suit and wore a ruby ring on his left thumb. Despite his age, he appeared lively, with deep laugh lines at the corners of his eyes.

“Master Jonathan, Miss Kins is here and waiting in the guest room.” Sebastian’s demeanor was even more respectful than usual.
