Leaving The Country After Divorce

CHAPTER 2019 DO NOT NEED YOUR APPROVAL

Neither Norton nor Mildred had realized there was someone other than the driver in the car, but as soon as Jonathan appeared, they began looking him up and down.

Sharp-eyed as always, Norton immediately noticed that Jonathan was dressed head to toe in low-key luxury items.

Even the latter's watch was a Patek Philippe that boasted an eye-watering price tag.

More importantly, Norton could tell that the young man carried himself with the utmost class and elegance.

Jonathan glanced at the couple before walking up to Madilyn and gently pulling her into an embrace, his gaze soft and loving.

For some reason, Madilyn's frustration instantly melted away when she felt the man's tender touch and stared into his eyes.

Mildred, on the other hand, remained skeptical as she turned to her husband. “Norton, I don't think we know this young man, do we?”

Norton nodded. Deep down, however, he was somewhat uncomfortable to see his daughter behaving so intimately with another man. “Are you from Horington?”

Jonathan couldn't help but chuckle to himself. Ah... Norton sure is one sly, old fox. I can't believe he figured that out so quickly.

“Yes. I'm indeed from Horington. I'm also Madilyn's boyfriend. I heard her father summoned her home for a blind date, so I tagged along to see if the guy's any better than me.”

Even though Jonathan's voice was steady and calm, Norton and Mildred knew he was sending them a warning shot.

“Listen here, mister. I don't care if you really are Madilyn's boyfriend or not. She has come home today to discuss family matters with us. Don't you think it's rude of you to show up uninvited?” Mildred snapped.

Norton too, had narrowed his eyes in fury.

This is the Sheffield residence, for goodness' sake! No matter how powerful this young man from Horington is, he has no right to disrespect me in my territory!

“Family matters? Rude?” Madilyn scoffed. “Have you made a mistake, Mildred Hinton? I've never regarded you as family. Besides, you guys were the ones who dragged my mother from Horington to Xandenia. Not only is that rude, but it's also a crime!”
