Chapter 170 – Jonathan’s Past Regret
******Although Jonathan had no idea about Glenn’s background... where he came from, who his parents were, or whether he even had any, one truth had always remained unshakable: he had liked the boy from the start.No… in fact, liked was too small a word. As he often told anyone who would listen, he had long regarded Glenn as the son he never had.But it hadn’t started out that way.Jonathan could still remember the first time he had seen the scrawny, wide-eyed, homeless, and pitiful boy all those years ago.He hadn’t brought Glenn to his home back then because he admired him or felt some instant connection. No.He had only taken Glenn in out of nothing but pure pity… pity for the barefoot child with nothing to his name: no food, no home, no family to shield him from the cruelty of the world, and nothing.Yet, as the days turned into weeks and the weeks into months, something had shifted within him.The boy who had come into his house, looking lifeless, hollow, and with nothing
Chapter 171 – Jonathan’s Past Regret II
******The memory of the day Glenn introduced Selene still sat heavy in Jonathan’s chest like a stone to this day. He could never forget how he had forced a smile while his heart was completely broken, Selene’s ring catching the light as if mocking him.That night, after they had gone, he had sat alone in the dark with a glass of whiskey in his hand, completely overcome by the sense that he had lost something precious and something irreplaceable.Call him selfish… call him petty, but Jonathan hadn’t given up.He had tried to stop the marriage. He had asked Glenn over and over again, whether he was rushing things, whether he had thought things through, and if Selene was truly the one he wanted to spend the rest of his life with.But Glenn, hopelessly in love and as sincere as ever, had only answered with that calm, sincere, and gentle smile of his... the very one that made people trust him, even when they had no reason to.And so, the wedding had taken place, and after that… just
Chapter 172 – Shedding All Pretense
******“Nonsense!” The word shot out of Lorraine’s throat, sounding venomous enough to make even the walls flinch. Her entire face contorted, trembling with barely restrained outrage. “Are you insane, Jonathan? How dare you suggest my daughter marry this… this filthy ex-convict! Are you out of your mind?!”She looked like she was about to explode.And witnessing this, this, Jonathan froze, gaping in a stupor.He couldn’t react for a second, but then his mouth opened, closed, then opened again... yet no sound came.But before he could even completely process what had just happened, Sophia also shot to her feet, her expression a perfect mirror of her mother’s fury. Her eyes blazed, and her cheeks flushed with indignant rage.“What is wrong with you, Father?!” she also snapped, her voice so sharp that it nearly cut the air like a knife. “Do you hate me that much? Do you despise your own daughter so much… that you would even suggest I marry someone like him?!”She jabbed a finger a
Chapter 173 – Glenn’s Disbelief
******At this moment, still seated on the chair opposite Jonathan, Glenn found himself staring in silent disbelief and a daze, an emotion so foreign to him that it almost felt absurd.He had faced serial killers, terrifying mercenaries, traitors, and even lunatics who had completely lost their sanity, but nothing... absolutely nothing had prepared him for the spectacle of the two women before him.Lorraine and Sophia had finally abandoned every shred of pretense they had previously had on, tearing away the delicate masks of composure they had once worn, and what emerged from them now was nothing short of an unmasked hatred, heavy loathing, and seething revulsion.Earlier, when he arrived, Glenn had sensed the great change in the duo and had realized they were no longer the ones he knew. But since they had only been very petty and showing their hostility openly, he had assumed they were merely irritated because of his identity as an ex-convict… maybe even humiliated by whatever im
Chapter 174 – Jonathan’s Disappointment
******Although Glenn detested their vicious words, he wasn’t the type to waste his breath arguing and defending himself to people whose insults meant nothing. Arguments were for those who cared, and to be frank... he didn’t.So, he just sat there, calm and steady, completely ignoring them.If anyone were to walk into the room right now, they would never have guessed he was the one being torn apart by words.This continued for what felt like an eternity, until finally, Glenn slowly, calmly, and unhurriedly turned his gaze in Jonathan’s direction.At this moment, the man’s face was a sight to behold.His jaw had dropped so low that it looked ready to hit the floor, and his eyes had become so wide that they seemed to take in the whole scene.His face was heavily written with shock, disbelief, and speechlessness as he continued gawking at the women in a daze.He appeared as though he was watching the scene of fish flying in the sky, birds swimming in the ocean, and men strolling
Chapter 175 – Jonathan’s Final Verdict
******Hearing Glenn and seeing him like this, Jonathan instantly faltered, heavy embarrassment slowly creeping over his face. “Little Glenn, please don’t be…”“It’s okay,” Glenn said again softly, a gentle smile appearing on his lips. Yet somehow, the calm in his voice felt louder than any shout or fury, and for this reason, the room froze with silence, everyone watching him.“Actually,” Glenn continued, his voice still smooth and calm, “I understand Lorraine and Sophia.”That instantly drew a round of startled stares, everyone looking at him in surprise. Even the two women blinked, clearly not expecting Glenn to say something like that.Glenn, however, only smiled, remaining mild, patient, and maddeningly composed.“To be honest,” he said casually, “I’m not interested in any relationship or marriage right now.”As soon as everyone heard him, their mouth dropped open in surprise, a look of disbelief appearing on their faces.Both Lorraine and
Chapter 176 – Glenn’s Helplessness
******It wasn’t only Lorraine and Sophia who were shocked to the core at this moment, appearing frozen like statues; the smugness that had practically dripped off them earlier vanished completely, leaving their faces slack, and their mouths open. Even Glenn himself, the master of calm detachment, found his brow inching upward in genuine surprise right now.Like Loraine and Sophia, he also stared at Jonathan in a daze, the man’s words echoing in his mind.‘Stay close together with each other for the next two weeks… and live here?’Recalling it, Glenn couldn’t help but wonder if he had misheard; after all, it sounded ridiculous.He blinked slowly, trying to make sense of them, then finally… recalling the finality that had been in Jonathan’s tone when he spoke, the kind that left no room for argument… like a parent declaring bedtime while the child was busy playing a video game, insisting tomorrow was Sunday and there was no school, he didn’t know whether to laugh or cryFinally,
Chapter 177 – Glenn’s Helplessness II
******If it were another person in Jonathan’s place, Glenn would have bluntly rejected his offer like he had always done to anyone who had ever offered him what he didn’t want, and told them exactly how narcissistic they were for imagining he would ever want their daughter. He would have told them he already had a woman, and that would have been the end of the story.But Jonathan was different.He wasn’t just another person; Jonathan had always been a father figure to Glenn.Although the man wasn’t his father and they shared no blood relation whatsoever, their bond had long gone beyond family, and if it were even possible, Glenn would have long since taken the man’s surname.It was because of that respect and because of the history between them that Glenn had held back his bluntness and lied, not wanting to break the man’s heart.But as it is now, his attempt was useless.No, in fact, it had backfired, because he knew that even if he were to tell Jonathan the truth now… that h
Chapter 178 – Jonathan’s Concern
******Yes, Jonathan wanted Glenn in the family and wanted to officially make him his son. But it wasn’t just about that. Jonathan had watched his daughter grow up surrounded by wealthy young masters with big names… but none of them had ever fooled him.He was a man himself. So he perfectly knew how men looked at women they valued… and how they looked at trophies.And every so-called suitor, his wife, and daughter had ever bragged about? He had seen right through them all. None of them really loved Sophia in a way she deserved. They didn’t love her mind or her heart.No.The only thing they all loved, wanted, and were obsessed with was her beauty, which was so blinding that it erased everything else.Jonathan had lived long enough to know where that road led.And then there was Glenn.Jonathan had known Glenn for years and knew his silence meant more than most people’s promises. He had seen how Glenn protected Sophia and cared for her when growing up.Even now… Jonathan’s ins
Chapter 179
******Not long ago, it was Lorraine, Sophia, and Glenn who had been dumbstruck, staring in a daze. But now, the roles were reversed.The stunned expressions of Sophia, Glenn, and Jonathan filled the room as they stared at Lorraine, who stood there with a mischievous, almost playful smirk dancing across her lips.Their jaws were slack, their eyes wide, and for a long moment, none of them could quite process what they had just heard.Although they had all suspected that Lorraine was planning something when they had heard the type of questions she had posed to Jonathan. But none of them… not a single one could have predicted this outcome.Lorraine, who had been nothing short of hostile, vicious, and venomous in her words and actions toward Glenn, now seemed to have done an about-face.If anything, she should have been the most vehement in rejecting Jonathan’s idea… after all, she had shown far more spite than Sophia had done. And yet here she was, smiling at her husband with the k
