After dinner, Angela returned to her room quickly. She was unable to sit still as she listened to the sound of water in the bathroom.
Today, Jonathan skipped his usual study session and headed straight to the bathroom for a
shower.
He was back, so were they going to sleep together?
Angela lay under the blanket and wrapped herself tightly. She even used her body to press down on the corners and edges to prevent herself from sleeping improperly. She didn’t want to end up in his arms and get too handsy with him.
Wrapping herself so securely should limit her restless movements, right?
After a while, the sound of water stopped, and Jonathan came out in a bathrobe. He casually dried his hair while looking at Angela, who had wrapped herself into a cocoon, with a momentary pause.
“What are you doing?” he asked.
Angela narrowed her eyes. “This way, I won’t disturb your sleep.”
He pursed his lips and continued drying his hair. “Go to sleep early. Tomorrow is Christopher’s engagement banquet, and as my wife, you need to attend with me.”
“Okay.” Angela blinked as she sensed an underlying meaning in his words. “Aren’t you going to sleep early?”
Jonathan said in a low voice, “I’m going to the study.”
Is he going to the study to work for another night?
Did he really not take her advice to heart?
Angela lifted her gaze and quickly scrutinized him before lecturing sternly. “You haven’t rested properly for two or three days. You can’t work anymore, Jonathan. Let’s go to sleep.”
Then, she silently shifted to the other side of the bed while pointing to the vast space in front. “This is your spot.”
After a moment, she grabbed a cartoon plush toy from the bedside table and placed it in the middle. “This is the boundary line. I will not cross it to avoid affecting you.”

Jonathan stared at the boundary in the middle with faint eyes and then lay down expressionlessly.
Upon seeing him actually lay down, Angela was a bit stunned.
She also felt somewhat gratified that he finally listened.

Angela lay back down in satisfaction and tried to sleep. However, after turning off the lights, her auditory senses became more sensitive.
Although there was a boundary line between them, in reality, the two were very close. With her eyes closed, she could even hear the man’s subtle breathing.
It was faint, but to her, it sounded particularly loud, knocking at her ears one after another
Furthermore, the man carried a fresh and invigorating scent after his shower.
It was very pleasant.
“Can’t sleep?” Jonathan suddenly asked. “I’ll… go to the study then.”
Is he going to the study again?
Is it really because of her?
A strong sense of guilt rose in Angela’s heart. She hurriedly said, “No. No. It’s just… tomorrow, when we go together, will our grandparents announce the news of our marriage?”
And what about Cassandra?
By doing this, was she breaking up Cassandra and Jonathan?
“Do you know why I’ve been so busy lately?”
“Why?” Angela turned her head and asked out of curiosity.
Isn’t it because of work?
In the darkness, Jonathan pressed his lips and spoke slowly, and his voice was faint. “In their eyes, I am a dying man, yet I have no wife and no heir.”
Angela instantly understood. So, those people think that Jonathan is about to die and are trying to force him to abdicate?
Those people are really wicked!

“Jonathan, I understand. Let’s do as our grandparents say and announce the news of our marriage. It will let those people know that you are already married and might cause fewer troubles for you.” Angela said earnestly with a look of indignation.
This way, Jonathan could focus on treatment and recovery.
As long as she could help Jonathan, she was willing to do anything.
Moreover, according to the agreement, this was also her duty–to play the role of Jonathan’s
wife.
Jonathan’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he spoke warmly. “I’ll rely on you for this year then.”
“It’s only fair. We are allies, and you have helped me so much. Just tell me what you need me to do.” Angela promised while patting her chest.
She was very dedicated to keeping her promises.
This time, she quickly drifted off to sleep.
Listening to Angela’s steady breathing, Jonathan turned slightly, and his eyes darkened a few shades as he whispered, “Fool, don’t easily believe a man’s words.”
Then, he reached out, pulled her into his arms, and breathed in the fragrance of the young girl before closing his eyes again.
The next morning, when Angela woke up, Jonathan was already awake.
She was preparing to leave after washing up when there was a knock on the door.
May brought in three or four people who were carrying two sets of clothes.
Angela looked at them with a sense of familiarity. It seemed like they were a renowned international styling team.
To secure the services of this team, one needed not only money and power but also luck, as they spent most of their time in seclusion and were not easily swayed by new clients.
Angela blinked; this was the power of a capitalist.
The individuals in the room were crafting a unique style tailored specifically for her.
As Angela descended the stairs, Jonathan was in the living room listening to Simon report something.

In his line of sight, she wore a snow–white feather dress with an off–the–shoulder design, revealing a small heart–shaped pink diamond on her delicate collarbone.
Her face resembled that of a porcelain doll, and the feather dress she wore did not seem extravagant but rather gentle and playful like a little angel newly arrived on earth.
The expression in Jonathan’s eyes deepened, and he tightened his thin lips subconsciously.
Simon glanced at his boss‘ reaction, then at Angela. He finally understood why his boss was becoming more absent–minded.
Hmm… It all made sense.
As Angela approached Jonathan, he had already concealed all emotions and returned to his usual self.
“Jonathan, I’m ready.”
“Okay.” Jonathan’s gaze fell on Simon’s face, and Simon nodded before leaving silently.
Once they were in the car, Angela’s feather dress took up almost half of the back seat.
She felt a bit embarrassed and said, “Jonathan, you don’t have to make such a big deal out of it. This outfit must be expensive, and so is that styling team.”
Jonathan replied, “You are now young madam of the Lawson Family.”
Angela blushed. “Hehe… True. I can’t embarrass you.”
“I mean.” Jonathan furrowed his brows slightly, and his faint eyes looked at her. “You deserve
it.”
Angela’s mind didn’t catch up for a moment.
Was Jonathan saying she deserved the clothes or… the status?
There was silence in the carriage for a while, and soon, they arrived at Laurel Hotel.
The two entered the venue through the VIP channel, and the ceremony had not yet begun.
However, the venue was crowded with guests, with all the prominent figures from Riverdon
in attendance.

Fanny was at the entrance, wearing a floor–length silver fishtail gown and standing next to Christopher, who was in a suit and leather shoes, smiling gracefully and greeting guests warmly.
On the other side, the Kins Family sat neatly and harmoniously in the VIP room.
Angela only glanced at them before looking away.
Then, she surveyed the scene.
The Sanders Family had booked an entire top floor, and the venue was decorated to the highest standards.
Even the flowers were flown in from overseas.
This was definitely making a statement for the year.
“Look over there.”
Suddenly, Jonathan’s voice sounded beside her.
