All She Needs Chapter 310 Are You Feeling Guilty?
Scarlett paled as Celeste's footsteps drew closer. If Celeste entered, she would walk in on Scarlett and Jonathan, who were both naked in bed. Scarlett's heart pounded hard. She didn't want to hurt a nice young lady like Celeste, who was deeply in love with Jonathan. She wouldn't want Celeste to be heartbroken over Jonathan's infidelity.The events of last night introduced a new thrill to her, but she regretted it immensely and wished that she could turn back time and undo everything from yesterday. The only thing she could do was to put a stop to this wicked affair to avoid hurting the innocent.Her eyes darted left and right in search of a good place to hide. Before she could do so, Jonathan saw through her and pinned her underneath him with an amused smile. "This is no big deal. Are you feeling guilty? It's okay. If I don't give a damn, you shouldn't either."Feeling ashamed and humiliated, she attempted to push him off her. Unlike him, she wasn't shameless enough to keep her calm w
All She Needs Chapter 311 Into His Lap
"Johnny, I'm yours. Sooner or later, no matter how unwilling you are to see it, I will be yours. You can't run away from that. And I don't want to wait any longer!" Celeste's voice trembled, hoarse from nervousness. With no regard left for anything else—not her reputation as a lady, nor her family's prestige—she unbuttoned her shirt in front of him with the sole hope that Jonathan would love her properly once.But instead of what she had hoped, Jonathan stopped her, displeasure framing his features. He didn't know how to tell her this, but he was apathetic toward her, regardless of what she did. While her tender, fair skin was on par with Scarlett's, it did nothing to stir his desire. It was simply the inexplicable nature of feelings—they could never be fabricated. Pretending to like someone he didn't truly like would only make matters worse for the both of them.Initially, Jonathan had thought that whoever he married didn't matter, for it was a ritual he had to undergo sooner or later
All She Needs Chapter 312 Another Fight
Celeste didn't expect Jonathan to continue being so unconcerned even when she'd put herself out there for him. Was it not enough for her to be proactive and show him whatever goodwill she could muster? She was a lady, for goodness sake. She'd grown up with self-respect and self-love at the core of her upbringing. Not once had she stooped to the level of seducing a man so shamelessly just for them to notice her.But she was desperate now. Celeste was afraid that if she continued to be passive, she would lose Jonathan. The idea of losing him scared her more than she cared to admit, especially when it loomed in front of her now, too tangible to be a mere shadow of her fears. So, she did what she could. She knew she couldn't lose him, and she refused to.Of course, she wasn't a woman devoid of pride. Jonathan's repeated rejection of her advances unearthed humiliation so deep within her that she wished there was a hole she could crawl into, never to be seen again.It was probably her first
All She Needs Chapter 313 Do You Know What Responsibility Means, Scarlett?
Just like that, Jonathan stood beside her, his arms wrapped around his chest as he watched Scarlett's mechanical actions coldly. He had no idea what she was playing at, what he had done to wrong her now. Hadn't he prevented Celeste from discovering Scarlett's presence earlier? Was that not enough for her? Instead of thanking him, all she did was give him the cold shoulder, and for no apparent reason too. Jonathan didn't know when she had become so sensitive. What could he have possibly done to ignite her anger to this degree?His initial decision to not speak was soon overridden as Scarlett showed no signs of ending her shower. At last, Jonathan started, "How long are you planning to be in the shower for? Haven't you had enough? And do you think my shampoo is free for you to use so much of it?"Without even turning her head, Scarlett replied hotly, "I'll buy a new one to replace it if I finish it! Happy now?"At that moment, she really hated the person she was yesterday. How could she
All She Needs Chapter 314 What Kind of Monster Are You?
She was the one who was forced to sleep with him, not the other way around. Moreover, after the amount of alcohol she had consumed the night before, her consciousness had long been addled. He had no right to claim that she had taken advantage of him when she was clearly inebriated. With their unclear relationship, for him to make her take responsibility for what was evidently a two-player game was an intentional dig at her pride. It gave her enough reason to shout at Jonathan's smug smile. "Shut your fucking mouth and quit talking nonsense! What does that have to do with me?"Her anger, a stark contrast to her lifelessness, lifted his mood. Still smiling serenely, he began, "Oh, yeah? Do you know how hard I worked in bed yesterday? I've never treated another woman the same way."Scarlett's heart pounded against her ribcage, completely at a loss as to how she ought to respond. She knew she had no right to argue with Jonathan like she did before anymore—not after everything she'd done la
All She Needs Chapter 315 Seven Thousand Dollars
Jonathan glared as Scarlett shouted at him. He knew they had no time to lose, and he couldn't afford to stand there arguing with her while Ms. Zimmer's condition deteriorated by the second.Instead of explaining it to her any further, Jonathan opened the doors and windows to allow for better ventilation before slowly lowering Ms. Zimmer down onto the ground and administered basic life support. Then, he told Scarlett, "Quick, call the ambulance. What are you still standing there for?"All of this was said without sparing her a single glance in the process. Jonathan simply couldn't fathom how she could have so little common sense. It was fortunate that he'd trained in the army before and could recognize the early signs of a heart attack. He knew enough not to move Ms. Zimmer radically in her state for fear of causing even more damage. Scarlett's claim of him being heartless rendered him completely speechless. If she had been the one handling this situation, Ms. Zimmer would've very well
All She Needs Chapter 316 Good Girl
Scarlett believed that a single ounce of kindness should be repaid with floods of gratitude. She couldn't stand watching Ms. Zimmer, who'd taken care of her so painstakingly, lying in a hospital bed with no one willing to take care of her medical bills. She had been the woman's benefactor once, and she couldn't allow herself to become a bystander in this situation.After contemplating the matter briefly, she agreed. "Fine. What do you want? I'll do it only if it's within my capabilities."It didn't take much for her to see that Jonathan wanted her body in exchange for the money. Even if she refused him this time, there would always be the next. Instead of sacrificing her body for nothing, Scarlett would rather do it for a good cause.Besides, it didn't seem like she stood a chance of winning against him anyway.Jonathan glanced at her satisfactorily, his smile condescending. He pinched her tender cheek before teasing, "Good girl. You should've agreed this quickly the last time too. Act
All She Needs Chapter 317 Like a Child
He followed behind Scarlett disgruntledly, though the latter seemed oblivious to his foul mood. She carried nothing, having delegated it all to Jonathan, who was beginning to suspect this woman was sent here to be the death of him.As Scarlett prepared to begin another round, Jonathan finally had enough. He planted his heels on the ground and intervened. "It's just the three of us eating. What's the point of you getting so many things? That's more than enough. Let's just go home."Instead of complying, Scarlett did not even bother to spare him a glance. She continued tossing a few potatoes into his basket, her reply earnest. "That simply couldn't do! I promised to make you a good, fulfilling meal earlier, and a few measly dishes wouldn't cut it. I've always repaid kindness by spades and, similarly, enmity, so please be rest assured. You will not be disappointed by this meal."Her words rendered him speechless. Was she trying to stab him with her words?Jonathan had to applaud her for h

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
