Christopher then gently squeezed Fanny’s hand.
Fanny bit her lip, took a deep breath, and glanced at Jonathan. “Jonathan, I am still young and didn’t watch my mouth. I apologize if I said something to upset you.”
“Jonathan?” Jonathan raised an eyebrow and said in a low voice, “It’s too soon to address me as Jonathan now. Wait until you are part of the family. Even your father should address me as Mr. Lawson.”
Upon hearing this, Fanny’s expression turned grim. She trembled and lowered her head. “Yes, Mr. Lawson.”
Angela blinked and thought Jonathan was sometimes harsh.
Jonathan turned to Josh, “Josh, prepare a few rooms for them.”
Josh felt relieved and smiled warmly. “Mr. Sanders, please follow me along with your friends. Take a bath to warm up yourself. If you need anything, let the staff know.” He implied they were not welcome to linger in the lobby and disrupt the peace.
Christopher understood the implication and forced a smile. “Of course.”
After Christopher and the others left, Jonathan loosened his collar and raised his glass to his friends. “Enjoy yourselves,” he said casually.
Once everyone had attended themselves, Angela approached Jonathan and whispered, “Wasn’t it somewhat impolite of you not to show Fanny respect just now? I noticed Christopher’s expression change. He seemed quite embarrassed and probably hates you now.” She feared Fanny might spread this incident to the Sanders Family, tarnishing their reputation. After all, these aristocratic families placed great importance on their reputation.
Jonathan’s face remained expressionless as he scoffed. “So what if I didn’t show her respect? Besides, aren’t you pleased about it?”
She couldn’t help but admire his boldness. Angela’s eyes sparkled in the light as she replied, “I’m delighted!”
Trailing behind, Naomi couldn’t help but glance at the man. Even from a partial view, his noble demeanor was unmistakable.

Chapter 225 Men Grows Tired Easily
Is this Christopher’s brother, Jonathan? I thought rumors said that he was gravely ill and on the brink of death. Isn’t he also disabled and needs to rely on a wheelchair? Naomi thought. However, by observing him just now, he appeared far from death, and there was no wheelchair in sight. He was tall and wore a casual suit, especially his commanding presence earlier, which was authoritative and undeniably handsome!
Naomi thought for a moment and quickly caught up to Fanny. “Was that man just now Jonathan?” she asked casually.
At the mention of Jonathan’s name. Fanny couldn’t help but frown. She felt hatred surge within her. However, Naomi was the daughter of her father’s business associate, and they had recently sealed a significant deal with the Smith Family, who held more influence than the Kins Family.
Naomi had just returned from abroad, so Fanny was told to accompany her. Thus, she said dismissively. Yes, he is Jonathan. Due to his previous illness, he has a hot temper and doesn’t respect anyone” Fanny paused and smiled bitterly. “Just now, he didn’t even show Christopher respect. He possesses a cold demeanor and is hard to interact with.”
Naomi’s eyes gleamed even more at her words. He is a man of challenge. It would be an accomplishment if I took him down.
“So… What is his connection to your troublesome sister?” Naomi pouted, sensing that the relationship between the two was rather peculiar. After all, Jonathan had scolded Fanny and Christopher, clearly helping Angela.
After a brief chat, Fanny finally reacted and glanced at Naomi’s expression.
Among the wealthy young men present, Naomi didn’t inquire about anyone else but showed particular interest in Jonathan. She wondered if Naomi had taken a liking to Jonathan. It made sense, though, given Jonathan’s handsome face. He was indeed attractive.
Fanny sighed. “I’m not afraid of you laughing at me. Previously, Angela had a crush on Christopher and pursued him relentlessly. Fortunately, Old Mr. Sanders recognized the depth of our love and arranged our marriage. This made Angela’angry, leading her to somehow stay by Jonathan’s side.” Then, Fanny paused, intentionally leaving out the fact that they were already married.
Since Naomi had just returned, she probably wasn’t aware of their relationship.
Hearing her words, Naomi narrowed her eyes. I see. Let’s see who has the means then.
Did Jonathan lock the door when I left?
