Milly was about to rush after Xavier to clarify things, but Xavier seemed uninterested in talking to her and headed upstairs instead.
The situation was getting weirder and weirder.
Did the plot of the novel change? Or did my being trapped in the book cause a butterfly effect?
Ugh!
Frustrated. Milly pulled her hair as she collapsed onto the sofa. If she had known she would end up trapped in the book, she wished she had just read and memorised the entire novel instead, so she wouldn’t have to guess what was going on now.
Just then, a ghostly cry echoed from the doorway.
“Jordan, you have to believe me! I swear on my honour that I have no ulterior motives towards Milly! I’m not some beast!
“And besides, we’re related by blood! Even if I were a beast, I wouldn’t dare lay a hand on my own sister! You know how those public accounts are like; they’re drawn to news like flies to dung, afraid they’d lose out on the juicy gossip. I’ve already let Clark handle it. Trust me, by tomorrow morning, the trending topic will be gone!
“Jordan, please! I’ve been kneeling for a whole day! Just believe me and unfreeze my card. Please, Jordan have mercy on me!”
Jonathan kept pleading.
Milly turned around and saw Jordan approaching her with an icy aura surrounding him, his brows furrowed deeply.
He walked quickly into the living room, followed by Jonathan, who was limping and looked like he was about to collapse.
What’s going on?
Jonathan’s eyes snapped towards Milly sitting on the couch, and suddenly, he felt his waist and legs no longer ache. He slid over to her side and began wiping away tears.
“Sob… Milly, believe me! I would never dare touch you! My heart is pure and true, loyal and unwavering! It’s like the purest heart of a newborn baby!”
Milly was perplexed.
These words carry a positive meaning, but why do they feel strange?
And it sounds like a weird time to say them.
“Jonathan, what’s wrong? Slow down,” she uttered.
Jonathan sniffled and pitifully wiped his tears. “Sob… Jordan froze my card and made me kneel for a whole day! My knees are still sore now… I might be crippled, Milly! Sob!”

He wasn’t that upset earlier, but hearing Milly consoling him, his emotions erupted, making him a sobbing
mess.
Hearing his deafening sobs, Milly didn’t think it was an act. Her expression changed instantly. “Crippled? Let’s go to the hospital right away!”
Jonathan hesitated for a moment before trying to lift his pant leg to show her his bruised knees. But he only got halfway before hearing a sound. “Ahem!”
The man standing nearby narrowed his eyes menacingly, his gaze like ice.
Jonathan froze immediately.
“Haha… Milly, although I’m crippled, my spirit isn’t… um, I mean, it seems my legs are fine… I’ll just apply some hydrogen peroxide later.
Ugh, Jordan really favours sisters over brothers!
“The new cake shop downstairs has just opened, and I saw many girls waiting in line. I thought you might like it too. Want to try some?”
And this was no ordinary cake. Jordan had gone out of his way to buy it, and the affection behind it surpassed the value of the cake itself!
Seeing her happy eyes as she hesitated to open the cake box, Jordan couldn’t help but smile. He playfully ruffled her hair and said, “Eat it while it’s fresh! If you like it, I’ll bring you some back from work every day.”
Milly nodded with a smile. “Okay”
“Oh?” Jordan chuckled coldly at his boasts, mercilessly poking at his sensitive spot. “How are you planning to pay for them?”
Jonathan froze for a second.
