Broken Engagement His Uncle's Bride (Serena and Trevor) novel Chapter 246

Chapter 246 Dissuasion

Jonah broke down and cried. “But I’ve failed her.”

While Serena spoke, Sebastian carefully moved to the side. Then, in one quick motion, he lunged forward, wrapped an arm a Jonah’s waist, and yanked him away from the edge.

Jonah wasn’t ready. His slippers slipped. He accidentally kicked Sebastian.

A man nodded. “Good job, young man. Go home with your wife.”

“Kid, what were you thinking?”

“Jonah, didn’t you say you were going home to see your mom soon? What would she do if you never showed up?”

“Life’s rough. We get it. But what about everything you worked for? You want to throw it all away?”

The voices kept coming. Jonah stood in the middle, face burning, eyes wide, nodding like he couldn’t believe what he’d done.

He stepped forward and gave Serena and Sebastian a deep bow. “I’m sorry.
