The Legendary Man Chapter 227

Unexpected Call

It was so surprising to see her mother’s sudden change of attitude toward Jonathan that Josephine was rendered speechless. What’s going on? It’s as if I’m an outsider and Jonathan is her son!

“Is the taste to your liking, Jonathan?” Margaret asked earnestly, looking as if her whole world was hinged on his answer.

Josephine was even more confused. She scanned Margaret and Jonathan’s faces, wondering if they were hiding something from her.

“Not bad,” Jonathan commented after eating a spoonful of the soup. He pushed the bowl in Josephine’s direction, smiling. “Want a bite?”

“Nope!” She humphed and turned so that her back was facing Jonathan.

“What’s wrong? Are you mad at me?” Jonathan chuckled. He snaked his arms around her from behind. She was startled the moment she was being pulled into the unexpected embrace. “Jonathan! W-What’re you doing? Let go… There’re others around…”

“So what if they are?” Jonathan’s smile grew wider. Instead of letting go, he pressed closer. “There’s nothing illegal about hugging my own wife.”

“You…” Josephine pouted in exasperation.

“Oh… I think I still have something cooking on the stove. Let me go check on that….” Margaret said, deliberately finding an excuse to leave the couple alone. With that, she hurried out of the room.

Connor and Emmeline exchanged a knowing look. They, too, quickly excused themselves.

Within seconds, there were only Jonathan and Josephine left in the living room.
