Chapter 32 Happy Ever After

By the time they left the restaurant, the rain had ceased. Everything around them felt damp, and the air was cold.

Michaela never spoke after entering the car. It was only when Jonathan’s phone rang did the strange atmosphere in the car disperse.

However, after picking up the call, Jonathan’s expression turned even gloomier.

“Okay, I got it. Don’t let them into the restaurant in the future.”

Jonathan ended the call after giving his instructions. When he looked at Michaela again, he realized that she was still in the same position as earlier—staring out of the window. He did not know what she was thinking about, only that she seemed lost in her thoughts.

 

Zack’s words had been a dagger to her heart, and it was not surprising that Michaela was unhappy about the incident. Even though he had already avenged her, Jonathan felt that it was not good enough.

“What are you thinking about?”

 

Jonathan’s voice was deep and magnetic. When Michaela snapped back to her senses, he was the first thing she registered.

The lights outside of the window were dim, but the concern in Jonathan’s eyes was visible to her.

Michaela’s heart melted, and she flashed Jonathan a small smile. “Thank you for helping me out earlier, Mr. Jonathan.”

The way she tilted her head upward to look at him was like a doe, and it made Jonathan’s heart skip a beat. In the end, he could not help but reach out to caress the top of her head before saying, “I’ve already told you that you’re part of the Xander family, Mich. Of course I have to make sure that you’re fine. You don’t need to be so formal with me.”

Before Michaela could recollect herself from the intimate touch, she heard the same promise coming from him again.

Indeed, it was not the first time Michaela had heard that. The last time they were at Haversville Pavillion, Jonathan had said the same thing to her before. What was different was that, currently, her heart was beating loudly against her ribcage. In fact, a blush was creeping onto her face.

In her panic, Michaela quickly changed the topic and said, “Let me treat you to a meal next time then, Mr. Jonathan.”

She meant it. The way Jonathan had helped her out earlier had made her feel immensely better, so she felt that she should express her thanks to him properly.

Jonathan smiled and returned to his seat. The smile on his face never left even after a long time, and
