Chapter 25 Adorable With A Strong Front

In truth, Jonathan was only older than Michaela by five years. The first time they really met was during one particular summer.

Michaela had brought some food to the business school for Adrian as instructed. Coincidentally, Jonathan was in the latter’s office then.

At that time, a twenty-year-old Jonathan was working on his doctorate, while fifteen-year-old Michaela was in her first year of senior high after skipping a few grades due to her excellent academic performance.

She remembered how Adrian praised Jonathan and even encouraged her to learn from him.

Subsequently, when Michaela had her appendix removed, Jonathan tutored her on the classes she missed due to how important her studies were. Furthermore, he even gave her his notes for the university entrance exam.

 

In a twist of fate, Adrian’s student would turn out to be the uncle of her fiancé.

The year Michaela completed her university entrance exam, she and Zack held a simple ceremony for their engagement. During that time, Jonathan had gone overseas and never kept in touch.

 

During that five years, other than a fleeting meeting during Adrian’s funeral, she only heard about him when someone else brought him up.

The distance between them grew further along with the passage of time.

If she hadn’t run into him at Sommer Gardens the other day, his existence would likely have slipped her mind.

Compared to the charming youth back then, the man in front of her exuded a dignified and masculine aura. Intimidated by his reserved demeanor, Michaela felt the urge to avoid him.

As a result, she kept a wary distance from him as she escorted him out of the mansion.

Sensing her apprehension, Jonathan stopped in his tracks, feeling upset. He turned toward her. “Are you afraid of me?”

Panicking at the candidness of the question, Michaela shook her head in reflex and denied, “No. What’s there to be afraid of? It’s not like you’re some kind of beast, right?”
