Chapter 24 A Distinguished Guest

As the Xander family’s youngest son, Jonathan was exceptional in every aspect ever since he was young. Given that he was born when his father was old, he was naturally the apple of his father’s eye.

In reality, there was a big gap in Jonathan’s age with that of his eldest brother, the second eldest brother, and cousin, Quentin.

Due to the fact that Jonathan’s mother, Mavis, liked daughters, she got pregnant with Jonathan when she was forty-seven and was determined to give birth to him.

Unfortunately, she was disappointed that he turned out to be a boy instead of a girl. Because of that, she was exasperated over the matter for a long time.

When Jonathan was born, the Xander family’s eldest son, Zachary, already had a son of his own who was four years old, Jeffrey. Therefore, no one had expected Jeffrey to end up having an uncle that was younger than him.

 

In fact, Jeffrey had gotten a lot of grief for not greeting Jonathan appropriately. In the end, he had no choice but to accept Jonathan’s seniority just to save himself from more beatings.

As for the Xander family, they were well respected in the community due to the fact that Nick was a famous entrepreneur, and more importantly, a well-known philanthropist. On top of that, he was a staunch supporter of Adrian’s charity foundation.

 

That was how the relationship between both families began to develop.

In the present day, both families still maintained close ties even though Adrian had passed away, to the extent Michaela’s marriage was arranged by Nick himself.

Back then, Hannah objected to it but didn’t expect Jacob to accept the proposal.

Jacob had assumed that by ingratiating himself with the Xander family through a marriage alliance, his status would be elevated accordingly. However, from how things turned out, Zack was just a jerk compared to Jonathan.

Even though Hannah had no idea what Jonathan’s visit was for, she quickly led Michaela out of the car and approached him. “Mr. Xander?”
