Chapter 48
Chapter 48 I Will Realize Your Dreams
Hearing that, Jonathan rubbed his nose. Jennifer was right. Though she was divorced and had a daughter, she was still a
gorgeous woman who was more than worthy of being with an insignificant security guard like him. Sadly, Jonathan was an
insensitive person who never thought of such problems, let alone experienced the feeling of inferiority. Even if he were in the
presence of a royal princess, he would not be impressed, nor would he think he was not worthy of her.
Even if the woman was just a waitress, he did not have any concerns as long as he found her attractive.
Basically, he was a carefree person.
He was well aware of his feelings for Jennifer. He liked her, but he liked her body more. Hence, he was unsure if he would be
tired of her once he acquired her body. One thing he was sure of was that he did not want to get married, start a family, and be
completely restrained by it. If he did that, he would not be able to go to bars and flirt with other girls.
Nonetheless, Jennifer was not aware of his messy thoughts. She continued explaining, “I’m more than aware that it’s an unwise
move to be with you. A woman like me should be looking for a mature, middle-aged man. He should have a successful career
and possibly be a divorcee who can handle children. On top of that, he’ll love me like a seventeen-year-old princess. My mom
has been introducing many men to me, and many company directors fell in love with me at first sight. They kept pursuing me, but
I still think something is lacking in terms of feelings. They’re all selfish and realistic people. When I told my mom that I didn’t have
feelings for them, she scolded me for not learning from my mistakes. She said my feelings were never right, leaving me no room
to retort her.”
As Jonathan listened to her quietly, he could sense the struggle in Jennifer’s heart. It was as if she did not want to make do, nor
did she want to give in.
She still had hope in life, and she did not want to compromise so easily. That was why she was telling him all that in the
detention room, that she was willing to risk everything and follow him to the ends of the earth. She was a righteous woman who
believed in romance.
After a few seconds of silence, Jennifer continued, “To me, though you’re just a security guard, we can still be together on equal
footing. I just want to take the gamble again, no matter how terrible the ending could be. I told myself that if I lost this round, I’d
resign to my fate. Hence, even if you’re locked up, or if you need to risk everything and flee to another country, I’m willing to go
with you. But now, I’m starting to realize I’m too naïve. When I see you with Ms. Smith, Ms. McDaniels, and the other beautiful
women, you act so naturally. That was when I knew you weren’t just some security guard. You’re a big shot, which explains why
you don’t feel inferior in their presence. As for me... I’m just a divorcee—a second-hand good that has nothing. I’ve got nothing
to be proud of except for that slight beauty of mine. Besides, you’re still so young. I’m totally not worthy of being with you.”
Jonathan was dumbfounded. After a few seconds, he finally came back to his senses. He finally realized why Jennifer was
neglecting him—she believed she did not deserve him.
This silly woman is willing to go to the ends of the earth with me. And now that I’ve regained my freedom, she thinks she doesn’t
deserve me. What a foolish woman.
“Jennifer...” He wanted to console her, but he did not know what to say.
“Jonathan, haven’t you always wanted my body? Well, I shall satisfy you today.” Jennifer’s eyes reddened, and tears started
streaming down her cheeks. “But after tonight, we’ll never see each other again. I’ll do what my mom wants—find a reliable man
and get married.”
With that, she started kissing him, guiding his hands to caress her breasts.
Jonathan, on the other hand, was stunned, and he kept thinking about Jennifer’s words that told him they were never going to
see each other again.
At that thought, he felt as though he had lost something. A feeling of bitterness and despair crept into his heart.
At that moment, he suddenly pushed Jennifer away and leaped off the bed.
Jennifer was dumbfounded.
Meanwhile, Jonathan took a deep breath and looked at her. There were no traces of desire in his gaze. Instead, it was replaced
with sincerity and genuineness.
“Jennifer, listen to me. You’re more than worthy of deserving me. Moreover, I don’t care if you’re a divorcee or if you have a
daughter. I don’t care about all these worldly things.” He caught his breath before adding, “I’m just not ready to start a family
since I’ve been too used to fooling around. Hence, I can’t go against my conscience and promise you a perfect future. After all, if
I can’t keep my words, I’ll be no different from Wesley.”
He paused for a while and continued, “But I think you have a huge problem, that is you place your future and your happiness on
a man. You don’t have to do that. You, too, can have your own business and live independently without any restraints. You’re a
romantic woman, and that’s how you should act.”
Hearing that, Jennifer fell into deep thought. However, she quickly laughed at herself and said, “My own business? That’s easier
said than done.”
Suddenly, Jonathan grinned and responded, “Jen, I can help you with that. Why don’t we work together to start a bar? You can
be the boss while I will be the security guard.”
Jennifer was moved by the suggestion, but she quickly said, “I don’t have that much capital.”
Jonathan explained, “I don’t either. But we can bring in more partners. I’ll get Ms. McDaniels, Yasmin, Jessica, and Amber to
come over tomorrow and ask them to each chip in some money. With Amber’s relationship, Ms. McDaniels’s connections, and
our capability, we’ll definitely gain unlimited profit.”
Jennifer was instantly filled with enthusiasm after hearing what Jonathan had said. If she could actually be an owner of a
business and had an income every day, she could definitely live independently and no longer live in such a helpless state.
However, she still had her doubts. “But we have nothing. Are you sure that’s okay?”
Jonathan assured, “You’re thinking too much, Jennifer. They, too, need money. I’m just bringing them in to have them invest in
our business. Once we earn from it, we’ll give them some dividends. Thus, they’re not losing anything. All we have to do is
contribute physically. Don’t you agree?”
After thinking about it, Jennifer agreed with his words. At that moment, all her sadness had been replaced with an excitement to
start a business.
Suddenly, she realized she only had her underwear on, revealing too much of her body. At that realization, she blushed, and she
quickly pulled the blanket over herself, saying angrily, “Don’t look.”
Seeing Jennifer had returned to her original self, Jonathan let out a sigh of relief. The truth was, he was not at all interested in
starting a business or earning money. After all, he had the ability to give out any amount of money. Even so, the most important
thing was finding a way to make Jennifer happy at that moment.
No matter what, he could not bear to let Jennifer end up with a big-bellied director. The thought of her being pinned under
another man gave him the urge to kill someone.
Therefore, Jonathan truly wanted to help Jennifer build a business she could call her own. Only then would she give up on the
idea of accepting any kind of relationship without the element of love. He, too, could be more at ease. After all, he had already
seen her naked.
However, the way Jennifer looked shy under the blankets made him want to tease her. He uttered, “Jen, I’m the one who helped
you to get changed. There’s no use covering yourself up now.”
Hearing that, Jennifer let out an ear-piercing scream. She finally had the time to think about that matter. Though she was utterly
humiliated, she could not bring herself to make any complaints. She only said, “You should get out.”
Jonathan chuckled. “Jen, you can’t blame me for this. You were the one who fell asleep in the bathroom. I was just worried you’d
fall sick by staying under the shower. I did it for your own good.”
Right then, Jennifer crawled out from the blankets and asked him curiously, “How did you know I fell asleep in the bathroom?”
Jonathan answered, “How would I know? All I knew was that you had been in there for too long. I could hear your shower in my
room. Ah. Jen, I hear the sound of your shower every day. The thought of seeing how you look while showering is the greatest
pleasure of my life.”
“Get lost!” Jennifer raged, unable to hold her anger in.
Jonathan loved teasing her, and he could imagine what she looked like at that moment despite the darkness. Nevertheless, there
was a limit to making jokes. Thus, he chuckled and left Jennifer’s room.
He slept exceptionally well for the rest of the night.
The next morning, he woke up unusually early. When he was washing up, he bumped into Jennifer, who blushed at the sight of
him. He snickered and asked, “Did you sleep well last night?”
Jennifer blushed even more and rolled her eyes at him. She then dashed into the bathroom and shut the door.
As soon as they were done washing up, Jonathan drove the car to send Jennifer to work.
She did not show any resistance that day. In fact, she was relatively gentle. Moreover, she was in a good mood and had a great
complexion with a tinge of red on her cheeks. It was a rare sight. She looked just like a seventeen-year-old girl.
As soon as the car was on the road, Jonathan said, “I’ll contact everyone in a while to gather for lunch. Then, we’ll decide on
things.”
Jennifer nodded, feeling quite excited.
He then chuckled and uttered, “Why don’t I buy you a Ferrari once we start making money? You’ll always be a princess to me,
and princesses should drive a Ferrari.”
Jennifer could not help but blush, and her eyes glimmered with delight. Despite how much Jonathan actually meant his words,
they made her feel blissful.
After dropping Jennifer off at work, Jonathan did not enter the building. Instead, he went to a five-star hotel.
The name of the hotel was Pearl Hotel.
He reserved a private room and gave Polly a call. “Ms. McDaniels, lunch is on me today. Come to Pearl Hotel. I’ve reserved a
private room. Food will be served at twelve o’clock.”
Polly was amused by that. “Why would a cheapskate like you treat me to a meal out of nowhere? And it’s at such a formal
location.”
Jonathan grinned. “You’ll find out once you’re here.”
“You’re not going to make me pay for the food, are you?”
Caught off guard, Jonathan responded, “D*mn. Do I look like that kind of person?”
“You do!” Polly grinned. After ending the call, Jonathan called Amber.
