His And Her Marriage (Lucian and Roxanne) novel Chapter 1995

CHAPTER 1995 THE PURPLE WISH BOTTLE

The moon was exceptionally stunning on that very night.

“Jonathan, tell me the truth. Did you swap your soul with someone else or what?”

With her hand in his, Madilyn could almost feel the warmth from his palm along with an electric current that seeped all the way to her heart, creating ripples within.

I can't believe he used such an extraordinary way to confess his love! But on second thought, I was the one who trusted him too much. I should've realized something was amiss when I noticed that the soil at the slope was recently loosened. Or else, he wouldn't have been able to dig through it so effortlessly.

“Nope. I'm still me. It's just that the way I'm expressing myself is different now. Plus, I wasn't lying to you about the bottles. I didn't bury them hours ago. I dug them up a few days ago before I returned to work.”

He recalled how everything played out. One day, he suddenly thought of the wish bottles they buried years ago, so he went to Elmling Park alone to dig them up. He had forgotten all about his past self's expectations of the future.

After a long break, Jonathan realized he didn't like how empty and pointless his life was, so in order to find out what he truly wanted, he opened his wish bottle.

He unfolded the paper to reveal the wishes he wrote in the past: I hope to achieve a successful career with Lucian in the future and marry the woman I love!

Jonathan was in a daze after reading his past wishes. I didn't expect what I wished for back then to be so simple. Turns out I've lost my way after all these years of enduring the stress from my family and career. Slowly, I've gotten tired of everything which ultimately leads to depression. Now, after coming face to face with my past self, I finally see the light.

Upon having an epiphany, he vowed to himself that he would acknowledge his feelings and no longer be afraid. As such, he came up with the idea to confess his love in such a manner.

“Jonathan, I'm so glad to see how much you've changed!” Madilyn leaned over to nestle her head on his shoulder.

There they sat, chatting casually while enjoying the night breeze.

“Elektra is getting out of jail soon. Maybe her wish bottle would give her some inspiration on how to lead her life in the future,” Jonathan mumbled.

How many of us could still stay true to ourselves?

“I hope so. But who does the purple one belongs to?” Madilyn asked curiously.

“You are not going to believe this. I have no idea who it belongs to, either. I only remember that Lucian was the one who brought it over and that the bottle belonged to a woman.”

Jonathan would never have told Madilyn the truth in the past, but it didn't really matter anymore. After all, Roxanne and Lucian were already having their fourth child.

However, Madilyn's reaction was stronger than expected. She snapped, “So this bottle might have belonged to another woman whom Lucian was dating in the past? I must tell Roxanne about this!”

Deep down, she was afraid that Elektra's incident would happen all over again.

Feeling troubled, Jonathan frowned. Does that make me a leaker? But Madilyn is my girlfriend. I'll have to listen to her. Come to think of it, I'm also curious about who the purple bottle belonged to. Why did that person ask Lucian to deliver the bottle instead of showing up themself?

“Okay. You can tell her. I would like to know who it belonged to, too!” Jonathan decided to betray Lucian there and then.
