Chapter 615 The Blackwood Family
“Extremely important?” Josephine deshelled another boiled egg and placed it on Jonathan’s plate. However, there were residual eggshells on it this time.
“Don’t you still have a lot to do? In that case, hurry up and eat. No matter how busy you are, you can’t neglect your health.” “Josephine…”
Staring at the egg with shells still hanging from it, Jonathan was filled with dismay.
Ever since we knew each other, Josephine has always behaved in an aloof manner. Never once was she ever this attentive. Just look at that eggshell the size of a fingernail. Can she not be any more vengeful?
Sitting opposite him with her hands cupping her chin, Josephine looked exceptionally gentle when rays of the morning sun bathed her face. “What’s wrong? Do you not like the egg I peeled for you?”
“How is that possible?” Jonathan replied without hesitation before stuffing the egg into his mouth. Following a loud crunch, the egg, together with its shell, was chewed into pieces by Jonathan before being swallowed.
“Even if you fed me poison, I’ll willingly eat it.” Josephine nodded with a slight grin. “I’m glad you know what’s good for you. Anyway, I’m going to take a nap. You… just remember to be careful.”
Just as she spoke, Josephine turned around and left. However, she didn’t get far before she turned back around again. “Jonathan!”
“Yes?” Jonathan turned his attention to her upon hearing her call his name. He was greeted by the sight of Josephine gently stroking her still-flat stomach. “No matter what you do, remember that your child and I are waiting for you.”
A lump emerged in Jonathan’s throat despite the extraordinarily casual comment. Three years. That was the amount of time he spent in the army so that he could enjoy a peaceful breakfast with his family and live a stable life with Josephine.
When Jonathan left Asura’s Office and returned to Jadeborough, he had the intention of slowing down Asura’s Office’s expansion.
Obviously, he considered using the opportunity to retire and spend the rest of his days with Josephine.
Unfortunately, the situation in Chanaea had changed so rapidly that he was unable to disentangle himself from it.
Given that he had established Asura’s Office, the other factions were definitely not going to allow him to disband the organization, let alone leave.
Consequently, Jonathan let out a deep sigh as he watched Josephine’s leaving silhouette.
In order to achieve a sustainable sense of stability, I’ll have to resolve the problem posed by Karl and the respectable families as soon as possible. As for Yaleview…
Jonathan strode out of the house.
Even though Edenic Heights was placed under restrictions, he was still within the confines of his house.
As a result, it was advisable for him, in his capacity as Asura, to stay outside the compound.
Upon leaving the yard, he saw Harry waiting for him outside.
“Mr. Goldstein, Lauryn has been assigned to No. 129 Villa for security check.”
“Security check?”
Jonathan was slightly stunned.
“There’s no need for that. She’s a Grandmaster. If she had wanted to cause trouble, none of you could have stood in her way. If that isn’t her intention, a security check would be redundant. Therefore, just bring her here.”
“Yes, Mr. Goldstein!”
No sooner had Harry acknowledged the instructions than a soldier beside him contacted No. 129 Villa to let Lauryn pass.
As Jonathan and Harry walked down the hill and passed by No. 2 Villa, they saw Donald sitting on the outdoor swing and kicking his legs in the air.
“Donald? What are you doing here?” Jonathan asked curiously.
Ever since Jason was injured, Donald had taken over Edenic Heights’ medical team. The mountain resort was filled with injured soldiers, including some in critical condition that couldn’t be moved. Based on Donald’s character, he would never leave these men unattended.
“Nothing much, just waiting for Jason.”
