“She was never some fake heiress of the White Family. She’s an illegitimate child. Her birth mother wanted her to live a rich girl’s life, so she secretly swapped the babies. Now her mother has landed in jail, and there’s no way she’ll ever get out.

“Selina told me more than once that you admired her and wanted to set her up with Jonathan. That can’t be true, right? I really don’t think your taste is that bad.

“If it wasn’t about taste, then I honestly don’t understand why you would set your own son up for misery. Do you not love him? Mrs. Fullbuster, can you give me an answer?”

Anneliese had no idea what exactly in those words had triggered Elizabeth.

A cold flash of anger appeared on Elizabeth’s face, and the next thing she did was fling her coffee right at Anneliese.

“Ah!”

It happened so fast that Anneliese only had time to squeeze her eyes shut and turn her head

away.

But the expected humiliation of being drenched in coffee never came.

Instead, she landed in a familiar embrace, catching the cool, deep cologne she always associated with him–though now tinged with coffee.

Anneliese opened her eyes in shock and looked up to see Jonathan, holding her tight, shielding her from the spray. His hair and one side of his face were dripping with coffee, and his shoulder was soaked.

“Jonathan, what are you… Here, let me help.”

Elizabeth obviously hadn’t expected Jonathan to show up, especially at a moment like this. She was stunned for a second, but she quickly stood up, grabbed a napkin, and rushed over to help wipe the coffee from his hair and cheek.

But she never got the chance. Jonathan stood up with Anneliese still in his arms, stepping to the side to put distance between himself and Elizabeth.

His eyes were cold and expressionless as he looked at her.

“Mom, is this how you welcome my wife?”

Elizabeth looked caught off guard for a moment, but she quickly regained her withdrew her hand and sat down on the couch with a cold expression.

composure. She

“Jonathan, is that how you talk to your mother? Did you even hear what she just said?”

Anneliese shifted in Jonathan’s arms, and he immediately lowered his gaze to her.

“Are you hurt?”

His voice was gentle and low, completely different from how he sounded with Elizabeth.

Elizabeth’s face grew even darker as she glanced at the public display of affection between the two of them.

Anneliese hadn’t expected him to be so attentive.

She replied softly, “I just need my bag. I have wipes in there.”

Her bag was sitting on the couch nearby.

Hearing that, he finally loosened his hold around her waist. She leaned over to grab her bag, pulling out some wipes to clean his hair, his cheek, and the coffee on his neck.

Jonathan cooperated completely, even bending down slightly to make it easier for her to clean.

Anneliese was thorough, but the coffee had already soaked through his shirt and couldn’t be cleaned off completely.

She took off his tie, unbuttoned his collar, and tried to tidy him up a bit, but Jonathan caught her hand and said, “That’s enough, I’m fine.”

Anneliese nodded without a word, though her eyes were filled with concern.

Jonathan’s tense expression softened a little, and he held Anneliese’s hand as he looked at Elizabeth again.

“I heard what she said. Which part was unreasonable? What could possibly have made you so upset?”
