Love Her to No End

Chapter 9

Chapter 9 Utter Shock

As soon as the few of them arrived inside the living room of Sommer Gardens, they saw a disheveled- looking Lucille slumped to the ground. Her clothes were in a mess as she wept with her head kept low.

Right beside her was a man kneeling with his upper body exposed and visible scratch marks all over his broad back.

It was clear that the two had just enjoyed a passionate moment together. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

More importantly, everyone could easily recognize the man as the groom tomorrow—Zack.

Such a sight sent the crowd into utter shock.

“What the hell were the both of you up to?”

The first one to break the silence was Zack’s father, Quentin.

The man’s expression darkened as soon as he had realized what was happening, and his body trembled with rage.

Although Quentin had a reserved personality, he had been very strict toward Zack. Despite that, never had he ever been this overcome by fury.

Despite not being able to see his father’s face, Zack immediately began to shudder as soon he heard the former’s stern voice, and a chill ran down his spine. He was at a loss all of a sudden.

Perhaps due to how appalling the scene was, no one seemed to notice that there were other people in the living room.

Just as Quentin was about to unleash his wrath, the man seated on the couch stood up and walked toward them. “Hello, Quentin and Yvonne.”

“Jonathan? When did you get here?” Yvonne asked in astonishment as embarrassment flashed in her eyes.

The fewer people know about something this humiliating, the better. But of all people, Jonathan had to see this! You’re such a disappointment, Zack!

Yvonne felt her head throbbing from frustration.

Aware of how awkward Yvonne must be feeling, Jonathan turned away from Michaela and glanced at Zack. “At the worst possible time, it seems. But I believe it’s time you taught Zack a lesson,” he remarked in his deep voice.

Quentin’s father, Eric, was the younger brother of Jonathan’s father, Nick, making Quentin and Jonathan cousins. Quentin had lost his parents in a plane crash while sitting for his university entrance exam, so Nick took him in after that, treating Quentin as his own child.

That was why Quentin always held Nick in high esteem. Even Yvonne treated Jonathan’s parents with the utmost respect.

At present, Yvonne’s expression stiffened as she heard Jonathan’s words. “What’s going on, Jonathan?” she asked in puzzlement.

“My dad isn’t well enough to attend Zack’s wedding, so he asked me to come by and see if there’s anything I can help out with. But I heard some unusual noises as soon as I got here and thought the house had been broken into, so I told Walter to use force if he had to. I just never saw this coming…”

The man spoke softly, but he sounded composed and firm.

He also deliberately left out his last few words to avoid humiliating both families further.

On the other hand, Walter’s mouth twitched as he stood next to Jonathan, hearing the latter lie through his teeth.

Are you sure you came over to help, Sir? Didn’t you come over to ruin the wedding?

Broken into, you say?

What kind of thief would make so much noise while breaking into a house? You may have never gotten laid before, but haven’t you at least heard of how it works? What’s a grown man like you acting all innocent for?

Besides, you were the one who came over to enjoy the show after hearing about this, yet here you are playing dumb!

A flurry of thoughts erupted in Walter’s mind, although he could never say them out loud. Still, he had to admit that his boss had a knack for acting. It’s a shame he didn’t choose to become an actor!
