Jonathan responded, “Please come in Sebastian entered the room with a tray placing the soup bowl on the table.
Upon seeing the bowl, Jonathan furrowed his brow slightly. Due to his fragile health, they often made various soups for him.
To ease their minds, he would obediently consume it.
This time was no different. Jonathan picked up the porcelain white soup bowl, took a few sips, and then resumed reviewing the documents.
Meanwhile, in the bathroom, Angela was washing nervously. A few days earlier, upon returning from school, she discovered various men’s belongings in her room, all of which belonged to Jonathan.
She was taken aback and hesitated to inquire about it
She feared that questioning would raise suspicions about the discussions she had with Jonathan.
Given their collaboration, she needed to play her role effectively. She had to be his wife during this period. Fortunately, Jonathan worked late into the night and rose early each morning. They had spent several nights together without any encounters.
As she went to bed, Jonathan remained in the study working. When she woke up, Jonathan had already completed his morning routine, including exercise, tea, and reading the financial news.
What is the most frightening thing in this world?
It’s not the lack of money or intelligence. It’s the fear of someone who is a hundred or a thousand times wealthier and smarter than you. They work harder than you, and their success could overshadow yours.
The money he earned was rightfully his,
After a leisurely bath, Angela emerged in loose pajamas as usual and paused upon entering the bedroom.
Angela blinked, realizing this was the first time they were alone in the bedroom.
“Jonathan, aren’t you working today?” Angela inquired as she reached for a hairdryer.
Jonathan, seated on the sofa, gazed up at Angela and softly replied, I’ve been working all this time. Do you think you can have this room all to yourself?”
In recent years, he had been sleep–deprived. When unwell, he couldn’t sleep through the night. He worked to pass the sleepless hours.
Those around him hoped he would rest more and spend less time in the study.
Yet, here with Angela, she actually preferred him to work in the study.
Her intentions were clear. Angela smiled awkwardly, then hurriedly fetched the hairdryer, pretending the noise drowned out any further conversation.

After drying her hair, Angela picked up a book, pulled back the covers, and sat on the bed, engrossed in reading.
Although she appeared focused on the book, only Angela knew how anxious she felt.
Oh, my goodness. Being alone with the influential figure in the bedroom.
As Angela was lost in her thoughts, she struggled to concentrate on the book, just as Jonathan was also preoccupied.
A few minutes later, Jonathan, enduring the sharp pain in his knee, wheeled back to the bedside from the sofa, sweat beading on his forehead.
Moving the wheelchair closer to the bed, he reached out his arm and took the medical book from Angela’s hand, placing it on the bedside table.
“What’s the matter?” Angela exclaimed in surprise.
Jonathan leaned forward slightly, pressing her soft hand against his forehead, and whispered. “Could you check if I’m unwell?”
The warmth of his touch caused Angela’s eyes to flicker, sensing his fever.
Quickly taking his hand and checking his pulse, Angela asked after a few moments, “Jonathan, did you consume something very nourishing?”
She lowered her head and suggested softly, “How about taking a cold shower?”
“Angela, it’s winter. Do you think I’m fit to take a cold shower?” Jonathan said softly, pursing his lips. He then suppressed his anger and continued, “You’re a doctor. Don’t you have any treatment?”
Angela quickly glanced at Jonathan, shaking her head in embarrassment. “Your condition is special. It’s a treatment phase now. If I give you acupuncture, it will be counterproductive.”
Jonathan asked coolly, “So what?”
“How about I go downstairs and cook ginger soup for you? You can drink it after taking a shower. I guarantee you won’t catch a cold.” Angela said confidently.
Jonathan closed his eyes.
He then wheeled himself out of the room quickly and immediately saw Sebastian waiting at the top of the stairs, too scared to come closer.
With a stern face and obvious anger, Jonathan made Sebastian jump in fright and quickly apologize.

“Master Jonathan, it was Bruce’s order. I tried to refuse at the time, but he wouldn’t listen!” Mr. Sebastian quickly shifted the blame. A true friend in need was a friend indeed.
“Very well then. Jonathan took a deep breath.
He then returned to the bedroom, his gaze falling on Angela clutching the blanket, her big eyes filled with
caution.

When Angela heard this, she shook her head quickly and lay down, covering herself tightly with the blanke
Jonathan snorted coldly. She slipped away pretty fast.
He went into the bathroom, and soon, the sound of rushing water could be heard.
