Jonathan’s expression remained unchanged as I continued to bite him. After a long pause, I slowly
released my grip.
He glanced at the clear bite marks on his band, wiped them with a tissue, and then looked at me with a calm expression. “Are you satisfied now?”
I spat and stood up to rinse my mouth.
As I turned, I saw Jonathan standing silently at the bathroom door, watching me without saying a word.
After a moment, he said, “Since you’re being difficult, you should stay here and calm down for a while.”
“Who are you to lock me up?” I snapped, feeling displeased. “What about Alicia?”
Jonathan frowned. “What does she have to do with this?”
I scoffed. “She’ll probably be over to visit Grandpa frequently. Aren’t you worried the two of us will cross paths and cause you more trouble?”
“You do realize you’re causing me trouble, right?”
Jonathan chuckled, staring at me intently.
After a pause, he said, “I’ve told you countless times, Alicia is like a sister to me. Why do you always target her?”
I almost laughed at his words. “Target her? You always choose her without hesitation, letting everyone see me as a joke. They all think I’ll be the one tossed aside sooner or later. And yet, you say I’m targeting
her?”
“There’s no need to listen to what others say,” Jonathan interrupted. “You’re too easily influenced by outside opinions and can’t see your own heart.”
“Who’s the one who can’t see their heart clearly?” I snapped, grabbing Jonathan’s shirt collar. “If you and Alicia are in love, then just be together already and divorce me! I don’t want to be caught in between you two! Why does your so–called great love have to make someone else the stepping stone?”
“Enough!” Jonathan shouted angrily as he yanked my hand away.
“I’ll say this one last time,” he growled, “I only see her as my sister. Elise, stop making a scene!”
I shot back, “Sister? The kind of sister you can abandon your wife for at a life–and–death moment?”
My words immediately doused his anger.
His expression darkened, filled with conflicting emotions. It seemed like he wanted to say something, but
in the end, he stayed silent.
He softened and said, “That was my fault. Elise, I thought you didn’t need me to explain.”
I scoffed. “Actually, I don’t need your explanations. What I need now is a divorce.”
Chapter 31
Jonathan paused, and the atmosphere grew tense again.
It felt like we had returned to where we started.
Jonathan tightened his grip on my hand, interlocking his fingers with mine. “There’s no room for negotiation on this.”
I ignored him.
After a long pause, I said coldly, “You’re right. I do hate her. I am targeting her. If you force me to stay here, I will find a way to get to her.”
“You won’t have the chance.” Jonathan replied firmly. “I’ll do my best to keep the two of you from meeting.
I smirked. “Is that so? Well, I’ll just create the opportunity. As long as Alicia keeps coming here, I’ll make sure to make her life difficult.”
“Then stay in this room,” Jonathan said, standing up. “I’ll be here every night. You won’t need to go out.”
“You’re locking me up?”
My face turned pale as I looked at him in disbelief.
“You’d rather imprison me than let me cause trouble for Alicia?”
