All She Needs Chapter 178 Why Do You Even Feel Sorry for Him?
Scarlett burst out laughing upon hearing his words. Eventually, she took a few bags from the poor man. As for Lucas, he shook his head as he walked alongside the two. The way the two of them were interacting now resembled the scenes in his soap operas—not that they could be considered a couple yet. His mother was careful to keep Uncle Jonathan at arm's length. Lucas couldn't quite describe them as friends either. No single male and female would stick together all day, every day, and still remain platonic. At the end of the day, he had no idea how he was supposed to describe them, so he could only try his best to accommodate their decisions at present. To him, Uncle Jonathan was a decent enough person if one overlooked his vanity and overbearing self-righteousness. If Jonathan ended up with his mommy, perhaps everything would work out after all.After buying a bunch of things together, Jonathan finally experienced what it was like to spend a normal day with family. When he was a child,
All She Needs Chapter 179 I Can't Convince You
"Scar! Scar! Lucas!" His shouts yielded no response. Jonathan searched the entire house more than once, but to no avail. Not even the exterior of the house gave him a single clue toward where Scarlett and Lucas could've gone. He was starting to get more and more worried as time passed. His first thought was that Scarlett must have taken Lucas and disappeared again. Not only that, but he thought she would definitely have gone much further this time, and she wasn't coming back to him ever again. A surge of frustration and despair filled his heart. It was a desolate kind of emptiness that seized him, one he'd never felt before in his life.Jonathan squatted on the ground, his mind blank. He didn't know what he was doing. The only constant that remained was that persistent voice in his head."Scar is gone … She left you …"He remained in the same position even as Scarlett rushed home shortly after. The sight that greeted her was that of a man clad in his pajamas on his knees in front of t
All She Needs Chapter 180 I Missed You
Azure Blooms was faced with a shortage of flowers, so a lot of customers weren't able to purchase the flowers they'd come for that day. However, upon entering the store, they were not only greeted by the sight of the graciously beautiful store owner but also by the attractive man who stood by her side. Because of that, a lot of young women flocked to the store that day, lingering around if only to catch a few more glimpses of Jonathan. Much to their chagrin, the man's gaze remained fixed on Scarlett, completely ignoring the other women in the store.Scarlett was amused by the group of besotted girls who'd entered just to get a closer look at Jonathan. She had to admit that Jonathan was rather good-looking, but that didn't justify the idiotic behaviors of the girls, who didn't even bother to buy a flower or two despite crowding the shop with their infatuation.As Scarlett was still contemplating the matter, an unexpected guest arrived at the shop.Monica was still as heavily made-up as
All She Needs Chapter 181 Go Back With Me
"I'm not. We'll pack our things tonight and leave first thing tomorrow," Scarlett decided resolutely."Okay." Jonathan was beyond ecstatic upon hearing Scarlett's reply. He'd never imagined things to have gone so smoothly. He was fully prepared to stay in Crayton for ten days, or perhaps a month, but it seemed that he no longer had to.Contrary to his initial belief, Monica's arrival had indeed done him a great favor.Scarlett decided that she'd close the shop earlier than usual today. She even put up a notice stating that the shop would remain closed indefinitely. She thought it wouldn't be long before she could return to her business here in Crayton. Little did she know that even after time had passed, she would not once find herself coming remotely close to returning to the town.As for Lucas, Scarlett couldn't help but feel guilty for making him move again. She knew that constant changes in his environment would jeopardize his growth above all else, but try as she might, she couldn
All She Needs Chapter 182 I'm Married to Dylan
Jonathan called Cedrick as soon as he arrived at the entrance of the company.Cedrick was elated when he received his cousin's call. After eagerly anticipating his return, his wish had finally come true. He was afraid that if his cousin continued to stay away from the company, he himself wouldn't have been able to hold his own much longer.As such, he rushed downstairs to greet his cousin upon his arrival."Jonathan, you're finally back!" He hugged Jonathan tightly, tears streaming down his face."Quit exaggerating. Did you really miss me that much?" Jonathan was at a loss for words. He hadn't thought that Cedrick would've felt his absence so much. How far did his charm stretch, really?"I—well, a little. Just a little. But I think our company misses you even more." Cedrick sighed."Why? Did something happen?" Jonathan knew before Cedrick elaborated that something bad must have happened during the time he was away."Thank God you returned just in time, Jonathan. Lately, Tristan has bee
All She Needs Chapter 183 Why Is It So Dark in Here?
Jonathan used to think that Tristan was interested in his position as president of Leonard Corporations because he wanted the power and influence it would inevitably bring him. He'd never imagined that the real reason behind all this was Tristan's greed for money. In fact, Tristan was so money-driven that he'd planned on signing a contract that might as well push the company to the brink of bankruptcy, allowing the eventual usurpation by Maine Enterprise, all for a mere 30 million dollars.He briefly questioned Tristan's logic and upbringing—how could he lack even the most fundamental sense of family honor and disgrace?Still, in retrospect, he was thankful that Tristan's foolishness had played a vital role in exposing his intentions before he could follow through with them. Otherwise, the problems that could have risen in the future would undoubtedly have been troublesome to deal with. Not just that, in the heat of his cunning, Tristan might even have been successful in yanking the ru
All She Needs Chapter 184 This Wine Really Is Strong
"Please, have a seat." Like a gentleman, Jonathan arranged the candles and moved the chair slightly for Scarlett to sit. Scarlett couldn't help but marvel at the unpredictability of the man in front of her."Thank you." She sat where he directed her without much protest. She had to admit that the atmosphere was rather romantic, and perhaps Jonathan was a bon vivant after all. The praises she had for him in her mind were plentiful, and so was her surprise."Do you like this?" Jonathan saw right through her surprise as well."Um—it's great. Did you cook all of this yourself?" Scarlett knew that Jonathan's culinary skills were exemplary, but judging from the number of issues he'd had to handle ever since he returned, there was no way he'd be able to find the time to cook and arrange this candlelit dinner."If I say no, will you be disappointed?" Jonathan asked. Given the choice, he would've loved to cook a meal for her himself, but he was a busy man and had his assistant prepare this cand
All She Needs Chapter 185 Their Intimate Entanglement
"I'm not stingy—forget it. Drink up, then." Once again, Jonathan was speechless in the face of this impossible woman. She was already drunk at this point. If not, she wouldn't have had the audacity to call him stingy. This was still the first time any woman had called him that, and truth be told, Jonathan felt rather entertained."That's weird. Why do you have two heads?" Scarlett tilted her head suddenly and looked at him with a strange expression.Jonathan burst out laughing at her adorable appearance. She was so drunk, and yet she had the nerve to claim that she had a high alcohol tolerance."Um—Jonathan, I—my head is spinning like crazy. Don't—stop moving. Why are you moving around so much in front of me?" Scarlett suddenly felt her mind growing hazy as her vision blurred as well."You really can't make things easy for me, do you?" Jonathan shook his head, feeling a migraine surfacing thanks to her current drunken state. He hurried over to support her away from the table."Jonathan

All She Needs Chapter 393 Warmth
Scarlett knew there was no real solution to the problem between her and Jonathan. The both of them were just choosing to ignore what had happened between them.There was nothing left for them to do to fix what had been broken.Until now, she still felt as if she was in a dream. Was she really married to Jonathan? Was she really living with him in such a lavish house? She found it hard to wrap her mind around it because it was all so surreal.The warm water in the tub sloshed gently over her body, and she felt her eyelids droop. These few days have been tough, and she hadn't been able to sleep well. All she wanted to do was fall asleep in this tub. If she were any less rational than she was right now, she probably would've just fallen asleep in the tub.Scarlett changed into a simple set of pajamas after her bath, completely ignoring the sexy lingerie set that Jonathan had picked out for her. She could probably wear that lingerie set if she were alone but she couldn't possibly w
All She Needs Chapter 392 Disbelief
Jonathan's tone was loving and teasing, and she was immediately transported back to the carefree times she had spent with Jonathan at university. Back then, they didn't have much to worry about and could just enjoy dating each other without reality holding them back."Have you had breakfast? I'm making breakfast right now. Do you want some?" Scarlett asked."No, thank you. I don't like eating in the morning. You can go ahead and enjoy your breakfast," Jonathan replied. Jonathan never got into the habit of eating breakfast; after he went overseas, he had less reason to have breakfast. As such, he never ate breakfast anymore. After Scarlett had finished her food, Jonathan drove them to city hall to sign the necessary documents for their marriage.The entire time, Scarlett felt as if she were in a dream. Everything that was happening seemed so surrea. The absurdity of the events and the fact that she had not slept well in two days only made her more dazed. Scarlett hadn't realize
All She Needs Chapter 391 The First Night
Scarlett immediately understood what he was trying to say and bashfully lowered her gaze. Since when had he become so sleazy? Going overseas had done nothing to teach him to be a better man. Scarlett didn't know how to answer him, so she stared silently at the ground. Suddenly, she thought of something and raised her head to say, "Jonathan, I have to tell you something. I can marry you, but you must promise me one thing. We won't have a wedding ceremony."Jonathan was upset by that suggestion, and he huffed, "What? No ceremony? Are you planning on just getting married in secret? Is it that embarrassing to be married to me? Is that why you don't want a ceremony? If you don't want to marry me, just tell me! You don't have to do all this to show how reluctant you are to marry me!" Jonathan had no idea what was going on in her head. What woman would outright refuse to have a wedding ceremony? Any woman would love to have a grand ceremony to celebrate her marriage, but now that Sca
All She Needs Chapter 390 Numb
Just then, Scarlett heard someone call her name from behind her, "Scarlett?"Scarlett turned in confusion and realized that it was the school counselor. She never expected to see him here, and her heart was filled with warmth at the sight of him. She hadn't seen him since graduating, so she didn't think he would still remember her. She hastily wiped the tears from her face before greeting him with a brilliant smile, "Mr. Brown! Why are you here?""I had nothing to do today, so I thought I would drop by to play basketball. How's work? Why aren't you here with Jonathan? I can't believe it's been a year already. Time really flies … I still remember when Jonathan would play basketball, and you would cheer for him from the sidelines. I miss all of you, so come by with Jonathan next time! By the way, don't forget to send me a wedding invitation when both of you get married. After all, I've got my eye on both of you, and I'm sure you will end up together. I remember how nice Jonathan trea
All She Needs Chapter 389 Everything Has Changed
"Hey! What are you doing? Are you going home now?" Scarlett asked."Of course! Where else would I go? Didn't we just break up? Why are you calling me again? Don't tell me that you miss me already!" Teresa's voice which was filled with glee, came from the other end of the receiver. Hearing her voice made Scarlett feel much better than before, but Scarlett was worried that she would no longer be so happy after Scarlett tells her the truth. She didn't want her problems to affect the lives of those around her. Since she made a mistake, she would be the one to bear responsibility, and no one else should have to suffer because of her … especially not her best friend.Scarlett hesitated before asking, " Teresa, do you like your job?""What's not to like? I love it! Being a teacher is my dream! My students are obedient and understanding. My job also gives me a sense of accomplishment! Why are you asking me this now? I've told you before that my dream is to be one of the best teachers in
All She Needs Chapter 388 Lingering Feelings
As she spoke, Scarlett attempted to push Jonathan away, but he was too strong. She couldn't fight back at all. She felt like a fragile child in front of Jonathan, and he could crush her into pieces with just a little force. Jonathan leaned in and whispered coldly, "Do you think I’m still as compliant as before, allowing you to push me away repeatedly? Let me tell you, I’m not the same. How well do you think you know me? Let me make it clear, I will get what I want, including you!" Scarlett sensed the threat in Jonathan's words and looked at this unfamiliar man with some caution. She asked cautiously, "Jonathan, are you threatening me? What exactly do you mean? Why don't you just tell me instead of playing games? My time is not free, so let me go if you won't talk. I still have to work tomorrow." Scarlett was truly exhausted at this moment. Listening to her colleagues discuss Jonathan in the office had already put her on edge. After work, she spent so much time walking aroun
All She Needs Chapter 387 Threats
Jonathan did not take her comments to heart and continued coldly, "You came home quite late, Scarlett. It seems like you've learned to enjoy life more now, huh? Weren't you just a bookworm before? Why are you so late today? You've changed a lot after starting work and made more friends, huh? Tell me, who were you out having dinner with just now? A colleague? Your boss? Or is it your boyfriend? Whoever it is, it seems like he takes good care of you, and since you were having so much fun with him, why bother coming back home in the evening?" Scarlett could hardly believe the cruel words that came from his mouth. When did Jonathan become so heartless? Although he could be a bit carefree before, he would never say such things to her. In Scarlett's eyes, Jonathan had always been gentle and caring, completely different from the person uttering these words now. Scarlett felt infuriated and couldn't help defending herself, "It's not what you think! I was just having a cup of coffee with
All She Needs Chapter 386 It's Been Awhile
The two best friends chatted, and before they knew it, time had passed as they enjoyed their coffee. Soon, night fell, and the sky that was once adorned with the setting sun was now full of twinkling stars. It was beautiful, but it also reminded Scarlett of the day she parted ways with Jonathan. That day was just like today, a beautiful night with bright stars. However, things had changed, and she could never sit here and talk with Jonathan as she did that day. Teressa noticed the shift in mood from across the table. After hesitating, Teresa couldn't help but speak up, "Scarlett, Jonathan ... He's coming back soon." Teresa didn’t know the details of Scarlett and Jonathan’s relationship, but she knew they went on a trip together during their final year while everyone was looking for internships. It was quite sudden since Scarlett barely hung out with Jonathan. Then, there were rumors that they were dating, but Jonathan went abroad to study soon after, and Scarlett never menti
All She Needs Chapter 385 Broken-hearted
Scarlett sighed heavily at these words. “Yeah, there’s no way our small magazine can get an interview with the great Jonathan Leonard. Only those major news outlets have the qualifications for that. It’s his first time returning to the country after going abroad, so this is big news. The media would be busy with this, but it’s certainly not for us to handle.” Just then, the editor-in-chief of the office suddenly appeared. He must have overheard their discussions outside and sternly said, “Am I paying you to gossip around? You’re all good for nothing. You’re all itching to gossip now that I’ve eased up on you?” Once he roared, everyone fell silent. They either looked down at their computers or pretended to be busy with their work. No one responded to him. Who dared to oppose the editor? His words were final. However, Scarlett, who had always disliked this editor, felt grateful to him at this moment. She thanked him silently for saving her from her colleague’s gossiping. This wa
