Love Her to No End

Chapter 51

Chapter 51 Honest Man

When they turned to the origin of the voice, they saw Louise approaching them.

She probably just returned after her bath in the hot spring. Her hair was wet, and she was only wearing a laced dress on top of her sexy bikini. That combination of clothing was really inviting people’s imagination to run wild.

She had an extremely attractive figure, and she knew how to put on the right clothes to display her beauty. When looking at her, it felt as though she was simultaneously showing off her perfect, sexy figure without losing her modesty.

Her craftiness was evident.

Seeing that she had just come from the resting area, it would appear she was waiting for Jonathan.

As a woman herself, of course, Michaela could see the affection in Louise’s eyes.

Just as she was going to find an excuse to leave, Louise approached her instead of Jonathan and stood in front of her. “You’re Old Mr. Simmons’ granddaughter, Ms. Lingard, right? There are quite a lot of mosquitoes during the night here, so I specially prepared a bottle of mosquito repellent for you. It’s quite useful. I wanted to deliver it to your room, but I didn’t know which room it was, so I decided to wait here after taking a bath in the hot spring. Don’t worry, it’s brand new. I haven’t even opened it yet!”

Even though it was the first time they met, Louise was acting like she was familiar with Michaela.

There was a bright smile plastered on Louise’s face while she spoke, as though she wanted to come off as gentle and generous. If Michaela wasn’t experienced enough to know Louise clearly had an ulterior motive, she would have been moved by that benevolent offer. In actuality, it only made her suspect Louise’s intentions. Sure, it’s natural that she’s calling me Ms. Lingard since we’re not familiar with each

other. However, it’s definitely suspicious that she intentionally brought up my granddad. Is she reminding me that, if Adrian wasn’t my granddad, I wouldn’t have the chance to stand next to Jonathan? Or is she reminding me to know my place and don’t get in her way? Which is it?

It not only made her dislike Louise, but it also made her stop thinking that she was an excellent woman and that she was a good fit with Jonathan.

Staring at the mosquito repellent in Louise’s hand, Michaela stepped backward and rejected without hesitation, “I won’t take it if you need it too. Besides, I’m allergic to that kind of stuff. I’m afraid I have to reject your offer, Ms. Johnson.” Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

Louise was taken aback slightly, as though she didn’t expect Michaela to reject her generosity. She quickly returned to her senses and smiled. “It’s all right. I apologize for being presumptuous, Ms. Lingard.”

Michaela smiled as well. I don’t understand why people love to put on an act. First, it was Lucille, and now it was Louise. I’m so disappointed that even someone from a prominent family acts like this too. If she likes him, then she should just say it out loud.

Louise was going to use Michaela to show Jonathan how nice she was. Her plan backfired because Michaela had the stubbornness young people possessed.

Even though Louise’s plan had failed, she didn’t show her displeasure on her face. Instead, she smiled at Jonathan and invited in a tender tone, “There’s a campfire party during the night, Jonathan. Do you want to join me?”

That was probably her ultimate goal.

Michaela smiled and turned to the two men. “I’ll head back to my room now, Vincent, Mr. Jonathan. You guys have fun talking!”

Then, without waiting for their responses, she strolled toward her room.

Since she didn’t have a keycard, when she passed by the customer service counter, she politely asked, “Can you help me unlock the door to room 1314? Thanks! “

1314? Isn’t that Jonathan’s suite? They’re staying in the same room? He usually treats women pretty coldly, so why is he allowing someone like her to get so close to his life? Also, that coat on her shoulders. That’s Jonathan’s right? I also saw him treating her very differently when they were having a meal. He not only put food on her plate, but he also ladled a bowl of soup for her. The wildest part was he did all that with a gentle look. I know he can be pretty sweet and tender, but when he was doing something out of hospitality, there should be an obvious cold, distant look in his eyes. There must be something different about her. Otherwise, he wouldn’t act so humbly to please a woman. It was then Louise realized something. As jealousy filled her heart, shock flashed across her eyes.

Seeing Michaela was about to disappear from his sight, Vincent finally realized what was going on. “Er… I’m pretty tired after running around the entire afternoon too. You guys have fun talking to each other!”

The moment he finished, he gave Jonathan a profound look before zooming away.

It wasn’t until it was only the two of them left that Louise looked at Jonathan somewhat shyly. “Since it’s still early, how about I treat you to a cup of coffee, Mr. Xander? If you don’t mind.”

“I still have something I need to do. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be taking my leave now, Ms. Johnson.” He still sounded gentle, but the coldness in his voice was impossible to ignore.

C

She thought he agreed to her invitation when he didn’t say no earlier. Unbeknownst to her, he just didn’t want to make her look bad. The truth was not what she thought it would be.

Louise was stunned. Right as Jonathan curved his lips upward and was about to leave, she asked, “Is it because of her?”

He abruptly paused and turned to look at her with a cold, sharp look, unlike the elegant one he had before. His voice sounded pretty sterilized, too. “Do I need to report my personal matter to you, Ms. Johnson?”

She subconsciously retorted, “That’s not what I meant, Mr. Xander—”

However, she was cut off by his deep voice as he stared at her with a threatening look. “Regardless of what you mean, Ms. Johnson, I bear no affection toward you. I suggest you stop being presumptuous and play tricks in front of me, Ms. Johnson.”

“I…” With her schemes exposed, she clutched her hands tightly and anxiously.

Before she could explain herself, he spoke up again with an even deeper voice. “Also, if anything that happened today leaks out, I’ll make sure the entire Johnson family will pay the price. You should know I’m capable of that, so don’t challenge my bottom line again, okay?”

His glare was so cold that it sent a chill down her spine. When he finished, he turned around without delay and left.

So that Michaela is his bottom line? Louise snorted coldly. I don’t doubt that he was serious when he said he’ll take down the Johnson family if I push him further because he definitely can. However, seeing as he’s willing to threaten me like that, it’s pretty obvious he loves Michaela a lot.

Everybody knew Jonathan was a prideful man, so it was natural she knew too.

Back then, after Jonathan achieved that legendary feat overseas, he became a hero many people admired and respected. It was then she started wanting her parents to match up with him when she

returned to visit them.

She never expressed her desire for him, because she was a prideful woman.

It was her assumption that, when she became powerful and excellent enough to stand next to Jonathan’s side, he would come to her.

Unfortunately, reality had proven her wrong.

When she saw how nicely Jonathan treated Michaela, she had to admit she was jealous, and that it threw her off her game.

It was why she discarded her prideful facade to seize her opportunity. Sadly, it failed, and she made herself look like a clown to Jonathan.

He liked Michaela so much that he didn’t care he was worsening the relationship between his family and the Johnson family.

At that previous moment, the impression of a gentle, elegant Jonathan in her mind vanished and was replaced by a terrible and vicious demon. Logically, there shouldn’t have been any reasons left for her to like him after seeing him like that.
