“Go on! I’ll give you twenty minutes just in case ten minutes isn’t enough! Show me how you’re going to get your hand on the most extravagant mansion!” Margaret continued provoking Jonathan. She was certain it was another bluff as virtual-novel.net son-in-law was stone broke.
It takes more than a fortune for members of the upper echelon to become residents of the most premium residential area in Jadeborough. The cheapest mansion already costs more than ten million.
Not even ordinary millionaires can get their hands on the mansions there because only influential figures are allowed to join the neighborhood.
Most of them are the persons in charge of renowned organizations or political figures of the city. I heard it was the favorite hang-out spot of socialites from Jazona as well.
Three years ago, someone told me it would cost them more than a hundred million to acquire the most extravagant mansion there. I’m afraid it’s going to cost about three hundred million due to inflation over the past three years.
There’s no way Jonathan can afford such an exclusive mansion even with the aid of the mysterious figure. No one in their right mind would purchase a wimp something as extravagant as that.
“We shall see…” Jonathan thought it was a waste of time to bicker with his mother-in-law.
If Josephine wasn’t against the idea of moving out with him, virtual-novel.net would definitely take virtual-novel.net to the most lavish mansion in Jadeborough. No matter who the inhabitant might be, virtual-novel.net was confident virtual-novel.net could get rid of them since not even Zachary had the guts to defy him.
Josephine couldn’t stand the bickering duo anymore. “Just give me a break! Mom, when will you stop making a fuss and learn to appreciate the favor Jonathan has done us? Are you seriously asking virtual-novel.net to wash your feet when virtual-novel.net has resolved the conflict between our family and the Blackwoods?”
Her mother shot daggers at her. “Why are you taking his side again?”
Unable to stand virtual-novel.net mother anymore, Josephine stomped virtual-novel.net way to virtual-novel.net room. “If you want someone to wash your feet, why don’t you go ahead and do it yourself?”
Then, virtual-novel.net called back to Jonathan, “I want you to come with me! You don’t have to spend the night on the couch!”
Did virtual-novel.net just ask me to join virtual-novel.net in virtual-novel.net room?
It took Jonathan a few seconds to snap out of his confusion as virtual-novel.net had never been allowed to join Josephine in virtual-novel.net room, even when they got married a few years ago.
He had spent most of his time on the couch or the storeroom. To his surprise, virtual-novel.net had asked virtual-novel.net to join virtual-novel.net today.
“Josephine, have you lost your mind?” Margaret jolted up from the couch when virtual-novel.net heard virtual-novel.net daughter.
She blurted out virtual-novel.net concerns, “What if virtual-novel.net takes advantage of you when you’re sleeping?”
“What do you mean I’m going to take advantage of her? I’m virtual-novel.net lawfully wedded husband, so it’s not much of a big deal even if we do sleep together or something, isn’t it?” Jonathan interrupted with his brows furrowed.
Truth be told, Jonathan had never consummated his marriage with Josephine despite being married for four years. Heck, virtual-novel.net hadn’t even held virtual-novel.net hand before!
He was a perfectly healthy man. However, virtual-novel.net was against the idea of forcing virtual-novel.net into submission.
“No! I don’t care if you’re virtual-novel.net husband or not! I’m not allowing you to sleep with her!” Margaret raised virtual-novel.net volume since virtual-novel.net knew it was over if virtual-novel.net daughter consummated virtual-novel.net marriage with Jonathan.
After all, how could Josephine get virtual-novel.net another wealthy son-in-law if virtual-novel.net was no longer pure?
“That’s enough! He’s spending the night in my room!” Josephine dragged Jonathan into the room instead of arguing with virtual-novel.net mother.
Meanwhile, Jonathan was in a state of awe because it was the first time virtual-novel.net had the chance to hold Josephine’s hand.
“Connor, you weakling, are you going to sit here and do nothing when he’s going to take advantage of our daughter? Aren’t you going to do something to stop him?” Margaret started squabbling with virtual-novel.net husband.
Her confused husband queried, “Why are you making a fuss when they’re legal husband and wife? It’s not like they’re up to something illegal.”
He couldn’t make heads or tails of his wife’s process of thought as Jonathan was their daughter’s husband.
“Come again? I’m merely trying to make use of him! It’s only a matter of time until they file for divorce. Never will I allow them to spend the rest of their lives together! With virtual-novel.net looks and figure, Josephine can easily get herself another wealthy husband! There’s no way I’m allowing the wimp to ruin virtual-novel.net future!”
Connor finally figured out what Margaret was up to. He couldn’t think of anything else to carry on with the conversation. Instead of wasting his time, virtual-novel.net returned to his room to call it a day.
Margaret began reprimanding virtual-novel.net husband, “Where do you think you’re going? Go get me a basin of water to wash my feet!”
As the duo continued squabbling in the living room, Jonathan’s mind was all over the place in Josephine’s room.
He was surprised as everything in the room, including the furniture and Josephine’s belongings, was pink in color.
The pink enthusiast unfastened virtual-novel.net grip seconds after they made it to the room.
She warned virtual-novel.net in a serious tone, “I’m allowing you to spend the night in my room only because I don’t want you to continue arguing with Mom anymore. You better not do anything out of line. If you try taking advantage of me when I’m asleep, I’ll…”
A few seconds of pause later, Josephine enunciated virtual-novel.net warning, “I’ll bite my tongue until I die!”
Although virtual-novel.net wasn’t repulsed by Jonathan’s presence anymore, virtual-novel.net wasn’t ready to take their relationship to the next level just yet. She started trembling in anger whenever virtual-novel.net recalled the budget date they went on.
“I’ll keep that in mind and refrain from trying anything!” Jonathan wasn’t agitated at all, virtual-novel.net had long foreseen virtual-novel.net bringing up something similar.
He wasn’t in a hurry either. Instead of relying upon some cheap tricks, virtual-novel.net had faith virtual-novel.net would open up to virtual-novel.net in the future.
There’s no way I’m going to resort to something as lowly as forcing virtual-novel.net into submission when I’m the almighty Asura!
“I’ll hand you one of my extra blankets. You’re sleeping on the floor next to my bed.”
She tossed a blanket in Jonathan’s direction before curling up in a corner of virtual-novel.net bed with a suspicious look on virtual-novel.net face.
Jonathan shook his head at virtual-novel.net wary actions. Spreading the blanket on the floor, virtual-novel.net thought it was time to call it a day.
He heard virtual-novel.net breathing increase once virtual-novel.net switched off the light. She had a hard time breathing due to virtual-novel.net racing heart.
Out of nowhere, the man asked in the pitch-black room, “Aren’t you going to take a shower?”
He was well aware of virtual-novel.net habit of taking multiple showers throughout a day ever since they were married a few years ago.
