Chapter 419 Together Forever
Florence threw a tantrum in the private room, berating everyone, including the restaurant manager.
Despite their apologies, her anger was not easily quelled. She demanded to know when they had slipped up, causing Angela and Jonathan to become suspicious. However, both her subordinates and the manager were clueless..
The first to dissociate themselves, one subordinate said, “Miss, I haven’t spoken to anyone else about this.”
“Miss Shelton, I didn’t dare tell anyone either,” stammered the manager, sweating profusely. He had hoped to curry favor with Florence but ended up botching it, leaving him extremely anxious.
“Useless!” Florence stormed out without getting the answers she wanted.
Christopher, who had left earlier, was already feeling unwell.
He wasn’t allowed in the same car as Jonathan and Angela and was instead in the following vehicle, flanked by bodyguards.
“Stop the car!” Christopher’s face was flushed, and his discomfort intensified, confirming his suspicion that he had been drugged- undoubtedly Florence’s doing.
“What’s wrong, Mr. Sanders? What do you need?” asked a bodyguard, maintaining a professional demeanor.
Embarrassed and feeling worse, Christopher struggled to say, “I think I’ve been drugged. Please, tell Jonathan!”
The bodyguard, after assessing his condition, quickly relayed the

to the car ahead.
Jonathan, informed of Christopher’s state, instructed, “Take him back, let him clean up, and send him back to Riverdon before tonight.”
After arranging Christopher’s departure, Jonathan’s expression darkened, and he pulled Angela closer.
Angela asked, “What’s wrong with him?”
Jonathan glanced at her, feeling unexpectedly jealous, and asked, despite knowing better, “Do you care about him?”
He doesn’t like his wife paying too much attention to another man.
Angela immediately shook her head. She had no fondness for Christopher, so how could she be concerned for him?
Seeing the cold darkness in Jonathan’s eyes, she quickly clarified, “I was just curious about what Florence was up to.”
“She wants to separate us,” he responded definitively, then sarcastically added. “But she won’t succeed.”
Angela, reassured by his firm answer, gazed at him in a daze.
Noticing her daydreaming, he felt a surge of insecurity and tightened his embrace. “Don’t tell me you don’t think the same, Angela?”
Angela immediately denied it.
To her, Jonathan was a beacon of light, having saved her in her darkest imes and ending her loneliness. How could she ever think of leaving him?
She might have once considered stepping aside once Jonathan found someone more suitable.

But now her desires became greedy; she wanted to stay with Jonathan forever.
Her decisive shaking of the head significantly eased Jonathan’s worries.
“We won’t be separated,” Jonathan stated with conviction, his gaze serious as he intently watched Angela, gauging her reaction.
Despite his reluctance to admit it, he felt incredibly anxious.
Fortunately, Angela quickly nodded in agreement, responding with equal certainty, “Yes, we won’t be separated.”
She might have realized it later, but she understood that Jonathan’s behavior indicated a need for reassurance.
She wasn’t much of a talker, yet she knew precisely what to say at that moment. Her resolute response undoubtedly provided Jonathan with the assurance he needed.
“Let me hold you,” Jonathan said in a husky voice, pulling her into a tight embrace, even gently inhaling the scent of her neck.
Her reaction soothed him, making him even less inclined to let go.
For Angela, Jonathan was a beacon of light; he held the same way about her. Confined to a wheelchair when they met and suffering from ailments no doctor could cure, it was Angela who healed both his body and heart.
Angela was to Jonathan what the warm sun is to the earth. Unwilling to let her go, he couldn’t bear the thought of her leaving. She was his antidote; he couldn’t live without her.
He was aware his illness wasn’t entirely cured; he seemed healthier because Angela was by his side. But without her, he knew he couldn’t control his emotions or actions.

The car was silent, smoothly cruising along. Yet, Angela’s heartbeat sounded thunderously loud to her, and the close contact allowed her to feel Jonathan’s heartbeats too.
Thump, thump, thump-
Each beat seemed to strike directly at her heart, igniting a warmth in her chest. She hugged Jonathan back, mimicking the way he held her.
While harmony filled the front car, Christopher in the rear was far from comfortable.
“Stop the car! I need to get out!” he bellowed, his face flushed with discomfort. Although he was short of breath, he still spoke imperiously to the bodyguards.
One bodyguard, unfazed and professional, replied, “Mr. Sanders, please wait. We’re taking you straight home.”
The details of packing and returning to Riverdon were left unsaid, and the other bodyguards remained silent.
Although they were all hired by Jonathan to protect Angela, there was a hierarchy among them. The one driving Jonathan and Angela was among the most capable, while the one dealing with Christopher, adept at handling miscellaneous tasks, was in charge of such affairs.
Knowing Jonathan and Angela’s personalities well, he had a clear plan for handling the situation.
After learning Christopher was to be sent back to Riverdon, he quickly arranged everything. The plan was to take Christopher home to let him handle his personal issues while they packed his luggage, ensuring he would be on a flight by evening.
