The Legendary Man novel Chapter 127

Chapter 127 Trust

“Jonathan, be serious!” Josephine couldn’t resist giving him the side-eye.

“Look, I knew you wouldn’t believe me!” Jonathan chuckled at the sight of Josephine’s furrowed brows. “I told you before, right? Three years ago, Zachary and I went on a conquest. That was when I met Thierry. Back then, he was just an ordinary soldier. Later, I suggested to Zachary that he was capable of taking charge of the Divine Dragon Guards, and Zachary took in my suggestion. Thus, he owed me a favor.”

What Jonathan said was true, to some extent.

When he first got to know Thierry, the latter was indeed an ordinary soldier. However, it wasn’t he who made that suggestion; it was Zachary who suggested for Thierry to lead the Divine Dragon Guards.

Jonathan was the one who established Four Asura Guards, so without his approval, Thierry wouldn’t get to lead the Divine Dragon Guards.

“Really?” Josephine cast him a doubtful look.

If Thierry Cloutier owed Jonathan a favor, why would he get down on his knees before Jonathan?

“Why would I lie to you?” Jonathan chuckled and ran a finger over Josephine’s nose affectionately. “Darling, it’ll be midnight when we get home. Why don’t we stay out for tonight?”

“Where should we go, then?” Josephine’s brow furrowed as she gave him a surveying look.

“The hotel, of course!” Jonathan cleared his throat in embarrassment. “It’ll be late when we get back home. Everyone else must be asleep. What if we wake them up? We can get a room at the hotel and share the same bed.”

“Are you sure you don’t want to disturb them?” Josephine rolled her eyes in exasperation.

It was clear what Jonathan had in mind.

“Of course,” Jonathan answered. “If you don’t trust me, we can have separate blankets. How does that sound?”

“It’s a bad idea!” Josephine retorted, glowering at him. “Let’s head back home. I need to head to Graham Group tomorrow to take over the ecological park development project!”

“Aren’t you going to give it a second thought?” Jonathan urged, refusing to give up that easily.

“Nope!” Josephine answered.

She shut her eyes, not wanting to spare Jonathan a second look.

An hour later, the car rolled to a stop before No. 1 Villa.

In the dark, Josephine shut the door to her room with a huge bang and even locked the door without hesitation.

Hearing the click of the lock, Jonathan couldn’t help but let out a helpless sigh.

Why does she insist on locking the door when she’s asleep? Doesn’t she trust me?

The night went by in the blink of an eye.

When Jonathan woke up in the morning, Josephine was nowhere to be seen.

He saw Emmeline sitting on the couch in the living room, engrossed in a drama playing on the TV. As usual, Margaret’s arms were akimbo as she ordered Connor around. It looked as though Connor was a help instead of her husband!

“You’re so stupid. Don’t you know how to mop the floor? Look at you, old fool! Your existence only serves to waste food. What a useless idiot!”

It was early in the morning, but Margaret was already running on sheer anger. She pointed at Connor and was reprimanding him harshly, but the latter merely bowed without saying a word.

As for Emmeline, it seemed that she was oblivious to her father’s plight.

She lowered her head and scrolled her phone casually, occasionally taking a few glances at the TV. Obviously, she was used to her parents’ frequent fighting.
