Chapter 145

Mabel nodded and explained, “Obviously, it's straightforward. Old Mr. Harrington has determined whoyou are. He is the head of the Harrington family, and he considers issues from his family's perspective.You are the Chosen One. If you don't marry Ms. Catherine, you will most likely become the enemy ofthe Harrington family when you join Divine Realm.”

Jonathan replied, “Do you think that a marriage certificate can solve everything? Ms. Catherine and Iare destined to be in conflict anyway.”

“You have to understand that Old Mr. Harrington suggested this condition based on your character. Heknows that if you become a member of the Harrington family, you will definitely be responsible forCatherine. That's why he set this condition. If it wasn't for you, Old Mr. Harrington wouldn't have beenso desperate to marry Ms. Catherine to you. You must know that she is twenty years old and is knownas the prettiest girl in Yaleview. Many young men born into affluent families want to marry her but can'tdo so. You are getting a bargain.” She drove the car forward smoothly and steadily.

Jonathan touched his nose and replied, “If it were just my own problem, I wouldn't need to think moreabout it. No matter how beautiful Catherine is, it has nothing to do with me. I really don't want to getmarried. However, right now, if there's no other way, I guess I'll have to say yes.”

Mabel smiled and agreed, “That's right.”

There was a bitter look on Jonathan's face.

At first, Polly wanted Jonathan to marry Amber, but he was not willing. That was because he didn'twant to hurt Amber. He knew his own personality. Besides, that was his own problem at the time.

However, the situation was getting worse at the moment. If he didn't solve this matter himself, it wouldharm Amber and the others. Jonathan couldn't accept that to happen.

“Since you've agreed, let's go back now,” Mabel blurted.

Shocked, he immediately refused, “No, I still have to meet Jennifer and the others.”

She smiled faintly. “I didn't expect you to be so infatuated. Then, I'll take you to Old Mr. Johnson'shouse.”

“Okay, but let's go and buy some gifts first.”

Mabel replied, “It's okay. Old Mr. Johnson likes wine. I have some wine in the back of my car. You canjust take it out and give it to him.”

Jonathan nodded. “That's great.”

Neither of them had breakfast yet. After entering the downtown, they went to a restaurant to fill theirstomachs.

It was a nice and warm day. The sun was shining brightly in the cloudless sky.

Yaleview rarely had such beautiful weather.

After breakfast, Jonathan and Mabel made their way to Arthur's house.

However, she just dropped him off in front of Arthur's house when they reached there. When she

stopped the car, she said, “Okay, you can go in yourself. I have become your housekeeper for the pasttwo days.”

Jonathan could not help but feel down as he asked, “You're not going in?”

“Why should I go in?”

He glanced at her before letting out a chuckle all of a sudden. “I feel like you're very afraid of visitingOld Mr. Johnson.”

Mabel blushed and scolded, “Get lost.”

Jonathan burst into laughter when he saw her getting shy. With that, he opened the door and got out ofthe car.

“The wine is in the boot,” Mabel reminded.

After picking up the wine, he went to her and said, “I can't stay here forever. I'll call you when I'm done.Can you pick me up?”

“Do you think I'm really your housekeeper and chauffeur? Go back by yourself. Here's the key.” Shehanded a string of keys to him.

He cackled with laughter as he took it gleefully.

Then, Mabel turned the steering and left.

Meanwhile, Jonathan strode toward Arthur's Vipod Residence.

As he walked through a small alley, it reminded Jonathan of Yaleview's historical architecture. Soon, heentered Vipod Residence.

The surroundings looked serene as the sun shone on the greenery in the yard.

Nobody stopped Jonathan when he stepped foot in the place. However, he felt that he was in a placewith tight security as if he would be given a drubbing if he did something wrong.

The security level here was over-the-top, and it was invisible so as not to disturb the daily lives of thecommanders.

The reason why he could enter was that he had been considered safe by those hidden expert fighters.

As soon as Jonathan set foot in the residence, he saw Amber, Yasmin, and Jessica playing poker.

Meanwhile, Arthur was reading the newspaper with his glasses.

The moment Jonathan came in, Amber and the others spotted him. Amber was in a good mood andgreeted with a smile, “Hello, busy bee. You're here finally. Jessica is almost suffering from lovesicknessfor missing you too much.”

Jessica blushed and denied, “Amber, obviously you are the one who is thinking about him.”

Hearing this, Yannis smiled helplessly, and Jennifer seemed to be uneasy.

Winnie, who was sitting beside Jennifer quietly, rushed over in a flash and greeted Jonathan happilywhen she saw him.

Jonathan hugged the girl and smiled at Amber and the others. He joked, “The one who wins must treatus to a meal.”

As he said that, he went to Arthur with the wine while having Winnie in his arms. “Old Mr. Johnson, Ihear that you like wine. I picked up a few bottles from Mabel.”

Arthur put the newspaper aside. When he saw the Malteer in Jonathan's hand, his eyes lit up. Arthurlaughed and praised, “Wow, this is a great wine. Thank you, Jonathan.”

The two guards behind Arthur immediately took the wine.

Arthur told Jonathan to have a seat beside him.

Nodding, Jonathan sat down.

Arthur suggested, “Are you okay with staying here for lunch today?”

Jonathan agreed, “Okay, Old Mr. Johnson.”

After that, both of them continued to be engaged in a conversation. Jonathan answered every questionArthur asked with respect.

He finally understood why Mabel did not like to visit this place. Talking to Arthur was nerve-racking

because Arthur's aura was too strong and domineering.

After chatting for a while, Arthur suggested, “Let's have a walk in the courtyard.”

Jonathan understood that Arthur had something to ask, so he gave him a nod without further ado andgot up. “Sure, Old Mr. Johnson.”

With that, Jonathan put Winnie down and let her go to Jennifer.

The girl was very obedient. She ran to Jennifer after saying goodbye to Jonathan and Arthur.

Before long, Arthur brought Jonathan out of Vipod Residence with two guards treading on Arthur andJonathan's heels.

Vipod Residence was like a maze; the courtyards were well-connected with numerous alleys.

Jonathan was following closely behind Arthur.

As the former strolled forward, he asked, “Jonathan, how are you doing?”

It was a question for which there was no specified answer, but Jonathan knew what Arthur meant. Hetook a deep breath and revealed, “We've figured out a solution for what's going on right now, and we'reworking on it. Although it's difficult, I'll try my best to get it done.”

Arthur smiled and stopped asking. Although he didn't talk much, he always had a clear idea about whatwas going on.

After a pause, he suddenly changed the topic and asked, “Jonathan, what do you think of Amber?”

Jonathan was startled, his heart pounding quickly. What? Is he going to betroth Amber to me? Am Ireally that good?

As a nimble-witted person, he quickly responded, “Amber is my best friend.”

“You're brilliant.” Arthur smiled.

Jonathan scratched his head, feeling embarrassed.

Arthur assured, “Don't worry. My granddaughter can take care of herself. I'll let Amber decide. I won'tinterfere.”

Jonathan heaved a sigh of relief.

Half an hour later, Arthur said he wanted to walk around alone and let Jonathan accompany the ladies.It was like a load off his shoulders, but Jonathan's face remained calm, and he informed, “Then I'll goback first, Old Mr. Johnson.”

Arthur waved his hand.

Jonathan soon returned to Vipod Residence, and the poker game was still ongoing.

When he came to them, Jonathan pondered before declaring seriously, “I have something to tell all ofyou.”

Hearing his voice, Amber and the others were stunned. They immediately stopped the game and hadtheir eyes on Jonathan.

He took a deep breath and continued, “Jen, please come in with me. I have something to tell you first.”

Jennifer trembled slightly and responded, “Okay.” With that, she stood up.

Soon, both of them entered the house. He closed the door after the two went to one of the bedrooms.

Jennifer guessed something terrible was about to happen. She had no idea what Jonathan was goingto tell her.

He took her hand to the table and sat down.

“You may say now.” Jennifer was whey-faced.

Jonathan took another deep breath and said, “Jen, I don't want to make any excuses for myself. I alsofeel like I'm an asshole no matter what reasons I give.”

Sensing that her guess was correct, she asked, “What do you want to say?”

Jonathan explained, “Old Mr. Harrington's advice enlightened me today. We are indeed not from thesame world. You will never understand when I tell you I'm at the cultivation level of Nascent Soul. Also,when I mention the Chosen One, you will never understand what it means. If I am with you, it will onlyhurt you. In my life, there will be the Great Tribulation in the future. I am the Chosen One in thisdisaster, so there will be much trouble around me. Right now, I can't even protect you. If I insist on

being with you, I'll only make you unhappy in the future. Maybe I sound like I'm trying to makeexcuses-”

“I believe in you,” Jennifer interrupted suddenly. She was actually touched by Jonathan's sincerity fromhis stammering incoherence. She paused and continued, “But I'm not afraid, and I won't regret mychoice.”

Jennifer was always so courageous and determined when it came to relationships.

Jonathan was at a loss for words.

She went on, “I'll go back to Horington with Winnie and wait for you to sort out your troubles here. I'll bewaiting for you, and I won't disturb you. Just remember that I'm there waiting for you when you're tired.It won't affect you in such a way, right?”

He was deeply touched by her words.
