Love Her to No End

Chapter 31 A Small World

There was a restroom in the private room, so when Michaela made an excuse to leave the place, Jonathan immediately realized what she was trying to do. However, he did not call her out on the lie.

Nevertheless, just as he reached the corner of the stairs, he heard Zack’s harsh words. When those words made his girl fume to the point her eyes turned red, his expression darkened.

How dare he say that no one will like my girl? He’s bloody gutsy!

A second ago, when Zack heard the familiar voice, he thought he was dreaming. However, the moment he saw the figure that abruptly appeared in front of him, he went pale instantly.

The rules in the Xander family were strict, but he was not one to lord over others.

Nevertheless, the soft and sweet look Michaela usually had was twisted into a ferocious look. It made him wonder how harsh Michaela would usually be to Lucille. No wonder Lucille would feel so scared to the point she tried to end her life.

There was a kind of person in the world who would fantasize about himself being the white knight once he encounter a scene that triggered his chauvinistic instinct. What that person never realized was that they were not living in a fairytale.

When he saw his uncle ambling down the stairs, Zack held his breath as fear gripped him. It was only when Jonathan stood in front of him did he stammer out, “Uncle Jonathan!”

“I’m old, and my ears aren’t working as well now. Would you like to repeat what you just said to me?”

Jonathan spoke in a clear voice, and the dark eyes on his face looked gloomy but calm.

However, Zack could sense an icy wave of hostility rushing toward him. His legs weakened, and he stuttered, “U-Uncle Jonathan…”

When Lucille saw Zack’s fearful demeanor, she quietly commented in her mind about how cowardly Zack was. Nevertheless, she soon calmed herself down and said to Jonathan, “Mr. Jonathan, don’t blame Zack for this. I was the one who did the wrong thing, and it’s normal that Michaela is upset with me. Moreover, she’s only ignoring me now. It’s fine even if she hits or curses at me because I deserve it. Zack’s just trying to defend me. He doesn’t mean to do anything else.”
