Revenge Of The Jilted Bride

Jilted Bride 199

Chapter 199

Kenneth frowned, feeling a bit guilty after Ophelia yelled at hit like that. He asked, "Why did you cback?

Don't you realize it's dangerous here? He had the confidence that he wouldn't get hurt. Kenneth asked, "Don't

trust me?" He pinched Ophelia's chin. The harshness he had shown towards Jonathan a moment ago vanished

instantly. His voice was noticeably less severe than before, Suddenly, a nerve in his forehead twitched wildly like

a snapped thread. He hugged Ophelia in front of hirm tightly. squeezed his eyes shut, and then reopened them.

Ophelia was wrapped in his arms. She asked, "What's wrong?" She thought, 'Did | yell at him too loudly?"

Jonathan walked to the top of the second-floor stairs and glanced down. With just a glimpse, his chest felt heavy,

like a big stone was weighing it down.

He thought. What's Kenneth pretending for? Is he hurt? Acting as if he needs someone to take care of him for

sbig mjury. How disgusting!" "Let's go home." Kenneth murmured softly into Ophelia's ear, his voice gentle.

"Okay. Ophelia replied. When she slipped out of his arms, her small hand was instantly gripped tightly by

Kenneth as if he was afraid she might run off. They boarded the helicopter, waiting at the entrance, together.

The thunderous sound of helicopter blades roared overhead. Jonathan sat in the half-collapsed study, surrounded

by a desolate, gloomy atmosphere. The sound of the helicopter gradually faded away.

The sun slowly rose as Phoebe carried a tray upstairs. She glanced at the spot Ophelia had blown up, a fleeting

hatred flashing in her eyes.

She said, "Jonathan, have something to eat. She carefully walked over and placed the tray on the man's desk.

Whether on purpose or not, her pale arm was exposed, showing marks from needle pricks..

Jonathan lifted his eyes, his icy blue gaze as cold and unyielding as ancient ice. He asked, "Do you know what

happens to those who betray the Davidson family?"

Hearing Jonathan's words, Phoebe fell to her knees with a thud, her face still pale and her body weak and

drained.

She said. "Jonathan, | didn't. | swear | didn't reveal this place's location. | can swear it! | can even prove my

innocence with my life.

Jonathan, | know my life belongs to the Davidson family. | will only work for the Davidson family. You have to

believe me. She thought, As long as Jonathan calms down, I could save my life. Kenneth understands Jonathan's

temperament perfectly. He released the back, counting on Jonathan to personally handle the situation

else, Phoebe looked up. She said, "Jonathan, | know you like Ophelia. | can help you." When Ophelia was

mentioned, Jonathan's expression softened slightly. He glanced sideways at Phoebe on the ground.

He asked, "Are you trying to useto get to Kenneth?" His voice was cold and slightly mocking. He continued,

"Do you think you're worthy of making a deal with me?"

Phoebe quickly gave up on her little schemes. She said, "No, Jonathan, | sincerely want to help you. If Emma

liked someone, she'd definitely be happy for you. Jonathan, just givestime; | will help you."

Jonathan's eyes flickered slightly. Just then, a black cat appeared out of nowhere, jumping onto the table.

Jonathan picked it up and lightly said. "One month," Phoebe said, "One month? Jonathan, can you givea little

more time? Three months, no, no, two months at the most, is that okay?"

Jonathan said nothing and continued stroking the cat's sleek black fur.

The helicopter quickly landed at a military base in Waston

Seeing Ophelia and Kenneth unscathed, Victor stood in the command room and breathed a sigh of relief. He

thought, It's good that everything is fine. Kenneth didn't even bother to say goodbye. He rushed Ophelia into the

car and headed straight for their private airport. Two hours later, the plane landed in Dellanex. Kenneth safely

dropped Ophelia off at Rosewood Manor and took the opportunity to change his clothes.

He told Ophelia. Don't wander around these days. Have Ray and his team follow you wherever you go. I'm going

on at business trip for a few days. Wait for my return."

Tor how long Ophelia said. She wondered, 'Is this sudden business trip related to the Davidson family?"

Kenneth lowered his head, his fingers gently tracing Ophelia's cheek. His gaze greedily scanned every inch of her

skin. before finally resting on her innocent doe-like eyes. He replied. Milagia, for about half a month. Be good and

wait for me." Ophelia thought. That's such a long time! She nodded and asked "Why are you in such a hurry?

Aren't you going to rest a

bit first?"

Kenneth said, "With you here, it's impossible to rest. He pushed Ophelia against the wardrobe and gave her a

passionate kiss. He dominantly stole her breath away.

It wasn't until Ophelia placed her hands on his shoulders and pushed forward that Kenneth let her go. "Is our

relationship just mutual use?" he asked, his voice hinting at danger.

Ophelia barely caught her breath before Kenneth gave her earlobe a firm pinch. It didn't hurt; it was just ticklish.

She looked puzzled, thinking. What does he mean by mutual use? Meeting Kenneth's gaze, she suddenly

realized. She thought, Jonathan, that despicable guy, recorded everything" She blinked and playfully pinched

Kenneth's earlobe. She said. It is a stalling tactic. Don't believe it."

Kenneth said, "Little one, we'll settle this when | get back. Then, he held Ophelia by the nape again and kissed

her forehead. His gaze was tender,

Ophelia went down the stairs, watching Kenneth until he got into the car.

The yard's roses were budding, and the grass was sprouting on the lawnt: it was a lively spring scene.

Ophelia returned to her room and looked at the empty bed. The tiredness from the plane was completely gone

now. She went to the study and called Chine.

While waiting, she casually flipped through the on the table: The Old Dellanes. The call went unanswered,

she thought Chloe might be busy
