The Legendary Man Chapter 399
Assassins On The Move
No matter how big of an uproar the news related to him had caused, Jonathan seemed unfazed by it.
When he returned to the hotel, Jonathan casually lit a cigarette and sat by the balcony.
A few moments later, his phone rang right on schedule.
“Hey, Jonathan…”
Josephine’s voice came from the other end of the call. Ever since Jonathan left Jazona, she would call him at eight o’clock punctually every night.
It had been going on for over a month.
This habit of hers had not ceased even when Jonathan was in the army.
“Call me Darling!” Jonathan reminded her.
“Darling…”
One could even hear the helplessness in Josephine’s voice through the phone. After departing from Jazona, Jonathan would always correct her on how to address him whenever she gave him a call.
No matter how many times he had to do it, he never got fed up with it.
“That’s more like it!” Jonathan chuckled. “Darling, how’s everything back at home? Did you miss me?”
“Not at all!” Josephine answered without hesitation.
“Liar!” Jonathan mercilessly exposed her. “Who kept urging me a few days ago to go home and even said she missed me?”
“How would I know? It’s not me anyway.” There was a hint of pretense in Josephine’s tone. “Darling, when exactly will you come home?”
“It’ll take me some time to get things done here!” A cold gleam flashed across Jonathan’s eyes as he casually shook off his cigarette ash.
Unless the matter regarding the Hunters Guild got taken care of, Jonathan would not leave Gronga.
“Okay… I’ll be waiting for you at home.” Josephine didn’t delve into the matter. However, she lapsed into a heavy silence for a moment before adding, “Darling, I got something to tell you.”
“What is it?” Jonathan simply asked.
“You might become a father soon…” Josephine said in the softest voice she could muster. Nevertheless, Jonathan could hear her very distinctly.
Upon hearing those five words, Jonathan leaped to his feet and almost singed his hand with his cigarette. “What did you say? Did I hear wrongly? W-We only did it once, and you got pregnant?”
“Jonathan Goldstein, what do you mean by that? Do you think I’m lying to you?” A trace of anger bubbled up in Josephine’s heart upon listening to her husband’s remarks.
She felt that Jonathan seemed to be doubting her.
“Of course not. Darling, I don’t mean it that way. Listen to me…” When he heard Josephine’s exasperated tone, Jonathan quickly came to his senses and realized he might be in trouble. Hence, he hurriedly explained, “I just thought I’m truly extraordinary, like how did I impregnate you in one try?”
“What do you think?” Jonathan could imagine Josephine rolling her eyes at him at that moment as the woman continued speaking. “Are you doubting me?”
“No, why would I?” Jonathan instantly felt himself dripping layers of cold sweat. No one else in Chanaea except Josephine could frighten him to this extent. “I certainly wouldn’t dare doubt the mighty you! I rather doubt myself instead!”
“You obviously did!” Josephine huffed snappily.
“I swear I didn’t!” Jonathan merely snuffed out his cigarette before changing the topic. “Darling, how did you find out you are pregnant?”
“It’s been a while since I’ve gotten my period. Nonetheless, it’s only a possibility, and I’m uncertain too. I’ll run a check tomorrow!”
“Do you want me to dispatch someone to accompany you when you go for a check-up? How about this? I’ll return tonight and bring you to the hospital for an examination tomorrow?” In his eyes, there was nothing more important than him becoming a father in this world.
“Haha! Why are you so silly? Do I have to go to the hospital to check whether or not I’m pregnant?” Josephine could not help but burst into laughter after listening to what Jonathan said. “Do you know what a pregnancy test kit is?”
“Pregnancy test kit? What on earth is that?” Bewilderment was written all over Jonathan’s face.
Up to today, Josephine was the only woman he had gotten together.
“Silly guy, you just need to know that I don’t have to make a trip to the hospital!” Josephine giggled. “You can set your mind at rest and deal with your matter in Gronga. You don’t have to come back. I’ll do the test myself!”
“Really?” Jonathan was filled with uncertainty.
