Chapter 463 I Can’t Bear To Leave Her 

Florence’s expression shifted. “Jonathan must be around.” She observed, eyeing them. James, noticing Angela’s cold reception, composed himself. “I’ve come to talk,” he said. 

Angela, firm, turned to Florence. “Since you’re not here for me and doubted me, wait downstairs. You might see Jonathan tomorrow.” 

Florence hesitated, displeased. Angela insisted she leave. “Miss Shelton, I need to talk to him. Can you step outside?” 

Florence, feeling slighted, sat down defiantly. Angela suggested, “If you prefer, stay. Mr. Kins, shall we move?” 

James, surprised by Angela’s bluntness, stayed quiet, not wanting to escalate. He hadn’t expected Angela to be so abrupt with Florence. 

Unaware of Angela’s growing annoyance at his silence, James watched as she left the room, followed by Oliver and the bodyguard. Once they were gone, Oliver discreetly informed Jonathan. 

After Angela’s departure, James turned to Florence with a polite tone. “Miss Shelton, I must excuse myself. I have urgent matters to attend to.” Although he hadn’t invited her, Florence saw his presence as a gesture of goodwill and seized the opportunity to engage with him. 

He had hoped to discuss Florence’s interaction with Fanny after speaking with Angela, but Florence’s disapproving glare shut down any further conversation. 

James was puzzled by Florence’s reaction, and his initial inquiries faded away instantly. Meanwhile, Spencer informed Jonathan that Florence had gone upstairs, causing him frustration. Despite this, Jonathan remained calm, trusting Angela to handle the situation. 

Even though he felt tempted to intervene, the presence of Angela and her associates reassured him. Seeing Jonathan’s composed demeanor, Spencer handed him a stack of documents, urging him to begin his tasks. 

Jonathan leaned forward, concern etched on his features. “Any luck finding a suitable candidate?” he asked, suggesting they appoint a deputy to ease his workload. Spencer shook his head, expressing their ongoing struggle to find the right fit despite numerous interviews. 

Though they preferred internal promotions, the lack of suitable candidates required external recruitment. “Got it,” Jonathan acknowledged. 

Noticing Jonathan’s distant expression, Spencer probed, “Are you really planning to leave?” Given the swift developments in Northland, Jonathan’s presence could expedite progress.

Jonathan nodded slightly, “Yes” 

Is it because of your health?” Spencer asked, recalling Angela’s recent medical tests in Northland, Despite her brief absence, Jonathan’s health remained a concern, especially after Spencer noticed scars on his body. 

While Yarrison had mentioned Jonathan’s illness before. Spencer hadn’t paid much attention, assuming Angela’s treatment had resolved the issue. However, he was surprised by Jonathan’s deteriorating appearance and signs of self–harm after only a brief separation from Angela. Jonathan’s unexpected behavior unsettled Spencer, despite their busy schedules. 

If he had been away from Angela longer, his condition might have worsened. Jonathan was momentarily stunned before grasping Spencer’s meaning. 

After a brief pause, he admitted, “Partly due to my illness, but mostly because I can’t bear to be apart from her.” Despite the low risk of falling ill now, he dreaded Angela’s distress upon learning his condition might resurface if they separated.
