Chapter 206 Shattered Trust
Jonathan hung up the phone.
Immediately, a message came through: “If you don’t answer, I will come to the Reed Group first thing in the morning”
Seeing this message. Jonathan had no choice but to return the call
“What’s going on? The company
“You were supposed to explain it to me, and now you won’t even pick up the phone? What does that mean? The woman’s voice was sharp and accusatory, laced with hysteria.
Jonathan, do you really want me and our son to live without any legitimacy? He’s going to kindergarten next year; where’s his household registration going to be?”
The angry tone and the harsh words made Jonathan’s headache even worse.
He took a deep breath and said. “There’s trouble at the company now. Let’s talk about it in a few days.”
“A few days! By then you and some other woman will probably be married! Jonathan, have you forgotten your promise to
me
She didn’t let up.
Jonathan had been exhausted for the past few days and couldn’t take her incessant nagging anymore. His temper finally snapped.
“Do you really believe in a man’s promises? Rebecca, stop being so naive. You know exactly how the child was born. I’m telling you right now, I will not marry you!”
Jonathan Reed!”
Her angry scream pierced the phone line,
Jonathan was so annoyed that he almost ended the call immediately.
But before he could. Rebecca’s last words reached his ears, “So this is your real face, huh? Just wait!”
Jonathan hung up without a second thought, not saying another word to her.
Unlike Ethan, Jonathan had always put business before women. To him, women were just distractions for fun.
If they didn’t obey, there was no point in having them around.
Thinking of the trouble the Reed Group was in, Jonathan’s frustration grew.
“Stella Dawson!.
The words were like poison in his mouth.
Stella slept soundly until 10 pm, her hunger finally waking her.
The wine had worn off, and she felt parched. She groggily opened her eyes.
The room was empty, so she slowly sat up and got out of bed.
As she took a few steps, she heard Abraham’s low voice from the balcony.

Finished
Stella had always known the dangers that surrounded the Dawson family. And with Abraham being the heir to the Luke family, his bloodline only made things more complicated.
Before she could think any further, the glass door slid open and Abraham stepped inside. His gaze softened as it met hers in the dim light.
In that brief moment, the danger in his eyes vanished, replaced by a warmth meant only for her.
It was a quick transformation from cold to tender, and even his demeanor seemed to soften as he reached out to gently touch her flushed check.
“Are you awake?” he asked, his tone much softer than before.
Her forehead was no longer hot.
Stella still felt a little disoriented. Without thinking, she clung to his slender waist.
“Abraham
“Hmm?”
“I’m thirsty and hungry, Stella muttered.
She had felt miserable after drinking and hadn’t eaten since the afternoon.
Abraham smiled softly and rubbed her hair. “Come on, let’s eat.”
“I want the steamed meat here, the fried pork, and the steamed duck,” she asked.
Abraham chuckled. “Alright.”
Good, she can sleep through the night and still remember what she wanted to eat.
He turned on the lights and found a thick coat for her.
Stella zipped it up obediently as he said, “It’s going to snow tomorrow.”
“Really? That makes me so happy!” she exclaimed.
Snow? I love it.
Abraham pulled on his long black coat, and the combination of his warmth and the dark, cool aura made him even more striking.
Stella stared at him, mesmerized.
Abraham turned to meet her admiring gaze, “What are you staring at?”
He spoke, and Stella immediately snapped out of it, shaking her head. “Nothing, nothing.”
But then..
“What’s wrong with your lips?”
Noticing a wound on his lip. Stella reached out to touch it.
Abraham grabbed her delicate wrist. “Don’t touch.
Stella raised an eyebrow. “It’s rare for someone to hurt you in this place. Do you have a wife?”
