Chapter 21
“What should we do. Jonny? Do we continue waiting here or should we find a hotel to rest?”
Jonathan thought for a moment, then told the others to go rest while he himself decided to wait a little longer.
Just as his friends were getting into the car, Jonathan saw a familiar figure in the distance.
He kept swallowing saliva, his heart started pounding, getting closer and closer.
Several people got out of the car again and stared at the approaching figure with Jonathan.
“Jonathan, what are you doing here?” Marissa’s tone was cold as she looked at the people in front of her.
Marissa had just finished her morning run when she saw a car parked in front of her house from a distance.
The person at the front seemed to be Jonathan.
After seeing clearly, she had a cold face.
Marissa pushed Jonathan aside and opened the door to the villa, walking inside.
When he wanted to close the door, Jonathan found his foot stuck in it.
He stiffened his neck and almost begged, “Mari, what happened before
was my fault. Please listen to me explain…”
“I did approach you with a purpose at first. However, over the two years we were together. I truly fell in love with you.”
Marissa worked with both hands and feet, with no warmth in her eyes.
The past is already gone, you don’t need to come and explain in person.
Jonathan pushed her hand away and barged in.
Sweat beaded on his forehead as he spoke urgently, “I didn’t just come here to apologize to you. I also want to… win you back.”
“Mari, I really fell in love with you, but I was too afraid to admit it before.
“In the past half month, I missed you like crazy, and numbed myself with alcohol every day. Do you know, Mari, I never intended to release those videos. Can you forgive me?”
Marissa chuckled and had a look of realization on her face, “Jonathan, do you think I would believe whatever you say just like that?”
“You deeply stabbed me in the heart, Uncle Chet.”

“Why do you think I have to forgive you just because you suddenly come over and say sorry?”
Jonathan shook his head, his voice becoming somewhat choked “Mari, I was speaking from the heart.”
up,
“I know I was a jerk; I did something wrong. Please give me another chance, I really love you!”
I do to
Marissa closed her eyes, tilted her head back, and tears streamed down her face.
Yes. Jonathan deceived her and he acquiesced when she was being bullied by Christina.
But why did he appear to save her in the moment of danger.
Marissa was very conflicted, when in fact Christina had already sent her the surveillance footage from the day of the banquet last night.
But she was not willing to easily forgive Jonathan, who knows if he will deceive her again in the future.
Jonathan suddenly hugged Marissa. In that moment of holding her, he felt his heart finally whole.
He buried his head in her neck and cried softly, “Mari, how can you forgive me?”
Outside the gate. Jonathan’s friends looked sad. The two of them used to be in love, but things had escalated to this point and it didn’t end well.
While Jonathan was hugging Marissa, Chet drove to the entrance of the villa area.
He looked puzzled when he saw so many people standing outside the
door.
Chet got out of the car with breakfast in hand, only to see Jonathan hugging Marissa.
“Jonathan, let her go!”
Chunter 21
Chet glared at Jonathan and threw down his breakfast, ready to punch
him.
There were many people outside the gate, and they were stopped.
Jonathan took Marissa’s hand and walked up to Chet.
“You are Mari’s Uncle Chet, so I will also call you Uncle Chet.”
“Uncle Chet, what happened before was my fault. Please don’t be angry.”
Chet frowned and looked at the two people holding hands. “Mari, was he your ex–boyfriend?”
Marissa shook her hand, but Jonathan gripped it even tighter.
Jonathan asked his friends to let Chet go, with a sincere attitude.
“I loved your niece very much. I would do anything just to be with her.”
Chet punched Jonathan in the face, finally letting go of Marissa’s hand.
Jonathan was punched by Chet repeatedly, he didn’t dodge and let Chet vent his anger.
Marissa still couldn’t bear it and grabbed Chet.
“Jonathan, you don’t know yet, but Mari and I are getting married
soon.”
With that, Chet took out an invitation from his pocket and threw it in Jonathan’s face.
