They'd been apart so long that they probably had a lot to say to each other. It didn't matter if they were going to exchange loving words or yell at each other; they probably would like some privacy when it all went down. Besides, Scarlett seemed like a stubborn woman, so they weren't worried that Jonathan would coerce Scarlett to go with him against her will. If she really didn't want to, Jonathan wouldn't be able to make her move an inch."Thank you so much," Jonathan said gratefully."What's your name? Also, could you please leave us your number so we can contact you in the future in case anything happens to Scarlett?" Rowan asked."My name is Jonathan Leonard and my number is …""Don't tell me you're Jonathan Leonard, the president of Leonard Corporations!" Rowan exclaimed in disbelief. He could tell that Jonathan was no ordinary man, but he hadn't expected him to be the president of Leonard Corporations. If he was the president of Leonard Corporations … then wouldn't that make

"Whatever, I don't want to argue with you anymore. Regardless, you have to compensate me for the past month that I've spent looking for you," Jonathan said shamelessly."What do you want as compensation?" Scarlett asked cautiously as she took a few steps back and wrapped her arms around her body. She had a feeling that she knew what he wanted.Scarlett looked like a cornered animal, which prompted Jonathan to say in exasperation, "What are you doing? Relax. I won't do anything to you until you accept me. Are you really that scared of me?"Hearing that made her feel much calmer, so she said, "You have to stay true to your world, alright? You can't force me to do—"Right as she let down her defenses, that bastard immediately pinned her to the wall and forcefully kissed her.Scarlett tried to break free from his grip, but he was much too strong, and she couldn't even find an opportunity to fight back. He'd missed her so much, and he kissed her like a man dying from thirst, as if she

But Jonathan didn't think it worked that way. In his mind, Lucas was his woman's son, so he thought Lucas should use whatever Jonathan had as well."Alright, alright, go play then. Didn't you say you liked coming to the amusement park? Next time, we'll bring your mommy here too. The three of us can play together as a family." Jonathan took Lucas' hands and headed toward the amusement park.There were many parents with their kids in the amusement park. Various couples were there as well, all of them looking happy and fulfilled. Jonathan suddenly realized how much familial affection could be found in amusement parks, of all places. Perhaps his plan to purchase a whole amusement park hadn't been as far-fetched as he'd initially thought.Lucas, on the other hand, thought that Jonathan's idea had been nothing but a spur-of-the moment thought and that he would give it up soon enough. Little did he know Jonathan planned on taking action as soon as he had the time to. Despite the crowd, the ap

Scarlett looked at the man who'd emerged from the fitting room, a surge of unfamiliarity filling her. In the past, her recollections of Jonathan had always been of him in a suit, as opposed to the casual outfit he was now dressed in. Scarlett couldn't seem to wrap her head around this new version of him. Still, not even that could stop her from staring at his handsome profile as she contemplated the way those clothes made him look like he was still in his early 20s."Wow, you look so handsome, Uncle Jonathan!" Lucas surveyed Jonathan's outfit, his eyes lighting up with excitement. He didn't know Jonathan could ever look like this—perhaps it was all thanks to his skincare routine, or perhaps the clothes he had on simply complimented his looks perfectly. Regardless, at that moment, Jonathan didn't look like the president of a large company. Quite the contrary, he looked like a dazzling star on stage, basking in the attention of the adoring crowd."What do you think, Scar?" Jonathan could

"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
