Deadly Doting Marriage - Chapter 25

Chapter 25

Jonah stared at Kathleen, and he said, “I believe her and know that this was not her fault.”

Waverly was dejected. “Jonah, why haven’t you notice me? I’ve liked you for such a long time, and I’m the daughter of the Lewis family. We…”

Jonah shook his head. “I’m sorry, Waverly. The person I liked is Kathleen, not you!”

Waverly, unwilling to accept the truth, shouted, “Why? Am I not better than this idiot? A fool like her, who’s also a murderer’s daughter, is not worthy of your love! You’re far too outstanding for her!”

Then, there was a hint of determination in Jonah’s eyes. “In love, there’s no such thing as being worthy of someone’s love. The only thing that matters is whether you like each other.”

After that, he looked at Kathleen with eyes full of love. “The person I like is Kathleen, and no one else can change that.”

When Waverly heard that, she almost went crazy from jealousy. Jonah and John were the same! They would definitely regret this one day!

Waverly stomped her feet in anger, and she turned and left them behind.

As soon as Waverly left, Kathleen looked at Jonah and uttered, “I’m not leaving, and I’m not going anywhere. Please, stop following me anymore. Besides, I’ve mentioned before that I’m not interested in getting into a relationship!”

Then, Kathleen also left after saying that.

Watching as she walked further away from him, Jonah’s face was ashen, and he felt extremely brokenhearted…

When Kathleen reached home, Waverly had been waiting for her in the courtyard outside the hall.

She stared fiercely at Kathleen and scoffed, “Are you running away with Jonah to Movania? You’re so shameless. You’re barely nineteen, yet you want to elope with another man…”

Kathleen glared at her, and her eyes flickered with cold lights. “Waverly, you continuously ruined my reputation, and I’ve endured it for so long. If I see you spurt out nonsense again, I won’t mind silencing you forever…”

Standing in the courtyard, the wind blew Kathleen’s long hair, and her obsidian eyes were as sharp as a blade, emitting chilling light.

Waverly was unconsciously frightened by her imposing manner, and she took a step back.

What…what was going on with Kathleen?

The fool never dared to talk to her before, so where did this domineering aura come from?

Seeing the sinister smile on Kathleen’s face and that eerily chilling gaze, Waverly dared not say anything more.

Kathleen was too lazy to care about Waverly, who only bullied the weak. Hence, she walked to her room.

The bright moonlight shone on Lambert’s residential villa at night, and a car drove in from the gate.

Soon, the car stopped at the hall’s entrance, and John got out of the vehicle.

Barkley had long known of his return, but he still quickly greeted John, “Young Master, you’re back?”

“Yes!” John passed his luggage to Barkley and asked, “Did anything happen at home?”

Barkley chuckled. “There’s nothing serious, but Ms. Yates and Ms. Lewis argued, and Ms. Yates scared Ms. Lewis to tears.”

John’s eyes twinkled. Then, he went upstairs and visited Waverly’s room.

The bed was huge, and he saw that the blanket was curled into a ball, but he did not see Waverly.

John approached the bed and instantly lifted the blanket.

“Ahh!” Waverly screamed. Next, she immediately hugged herself and leaned against the bed rest.

John sized her trembling body up and down, and he frowned. “What happened to you?”

Realizing that John was back, she immediately jumped into his embrace. “John, Kathleen was seducing Jonah in school, and she wants to elope with him to Movania. I scolded her about it, and she said she’s going to kill me! John, help me. I’m so scared…”

Waverly wanted to continue by saying that Kathleen’s father was a murderer, so it was expected that his daughter had murderous intent.

John furrowed his brows. Eloped? “Who is she going to elope with?”

Waverly hurriedly answered, “It’s Jonah Smith, the fourth Young Master of the Smiths!”

Jonah was Erwin’s brother. They had the same father but different mothers. Accordingly, Erwin was the third child, whereas Jonah was the fourth.

John looked at Waverly coldly, and he appeared suspicious.

He warned, “Stop talking nonsense!”

“I’m not!” Waverly hastily looked for the video she took and showed it to John. “Look, I’m telling the truth!”

The video clearly showed Kathleen and Jonah’s incident for the past two days.

Jonah confessed his feelings to Kathleen and even gave her chocolates and flowers… Then, he pulled Kathleen’s hand, saying, “Kathleen, leave the Lamberts and follow me. I’ll take you away from here. Let’s go to Movania! I can take care of you.”

The video ended there.

John watched all these, and his expression turned ugly.

Waverly tugged at his shirt. “John!”

“Don’t worry. Just have a good rest here!” John left after saying that.

Looking at his back, Waverly showed a wicked smile!

She had edited the videos earlier and only left the part where Jonah confessed his feelings to Kathleen.

Humph! Kathleen actually dared to threaten her? Obviously, Waverly would not let her go!

Since she annoyed John, she would surely be punished!

After walking out of Waverly’s room, John strode toward Kathleen.

His deep eyes were flickering with rage as if he was a hungry beast.

He pushed open Kathleen’s door and saw her sleeping soundly on her bed.

John felt angrier. Who gave her the guts to be so audacious? Was she actually dating in school?

Hmmph! Eloped? Moreover, she wanted to escape from him? Stop daydreaming!

He raised her to serve him! Kathleen did not have the right to have her freedom!

At the thought of Jonah confessing his feelings to Kathleen and pulling her hand, as well as the image of him saying he wanted to take Kathleen away, John wanted to tear that brat into pieces!

It felt as if he only took care of Kathleen so that Jonah could have her.

No. Kathleen was his, and John would never let that happen…

The moonlight shone on the bed through the window, and John walked toward Kathleen.

Her small face was delicate, and she had porcelain skin. With those thick and long lashes as well as those cherry lips, Kathleen looked incredibly charming under the moonlight.

John’s sight fell on her red lips. Then, recalling how he fed her medicine and water the last time, he felt his blood flowing to the lower part of his body.

She had grew up. She was eighteen now. Wait, her birthday was approaching, and she would be nineteen soon.

John removed the blanket and laid beside Kathleen. Then, he took her into his arms, lowered his head and kissed her soft lips.

He raised this woman, and she should not had drempt of escaping. No one could touch her either!

Kathleen was sleeping soundly when she suddenly felt suffocated, and she opened her eyes.

Realizing that John was kissing her, she pushed him away in a hurry. “Young Master, what are you doing?”

John was caught off guard.

Seeing how there were traces of rejection and disdain in her eyes, John’s expression darkened. “Don’t you know what I’m doing? I heard you’re dating someone in school, and you want to elope with him!”

Kathleen looked at him in shock and immediately explained, “It’s all a lie. Don’t trust Waverly!”

John scoffed, and his gaze was icy cold. “If it’s a lie, how did you know Waverly told me about it?”

He glared at her and pinched her chin as he spoke through gritted teeth, “Tell me, do you want to elope to Movania with him?”
