When Family Became a Place I Couldn’t Return To novel Chapter 394

Nelly’s eyes sparkled, and she pressed her lips together, fighting a smile.

Tina and Sheila spun around, only to see a tall man striding toward them, the light behind him casting his figure in silhouette. Jonah’s sharp features looked like they’d been carved by an artist, and there wasn’t a wrinkle on his perfectly tailored black suit. He had this aura about him, something regal that made people instinctively step back and take notice.

Even though the bodyguards had no idea who he was, they bowed their heads and moved out of the way without thinking.

“You…” Tina recognized him right away, her voice rising into a shriek. “You’re the one sneaking around with Nelly!”

Sheila shot her a warning cough, trying to keep Tina from saying something she’d regret.

That finally clicked for Tina. She remembered he was part of the Watson family, and though she swallowed nervously, she tried to act tough. “Who are you? Don’t you know Nelly’s married? She hasn’t even divorced yet, and you two are just…” She hesitated for a second, then declared, “This is wrong. It’s an affair!”

“An affair?” Jonah repeated, his smile cold and mocking. He kept walking, and nobody tried to stop him. Even Tina and Sheila found themselves backing up. Jonah obviously wasn’t interested in talking to them. He went straight to Nelly.

Nelly looked up at him, her smile gentle. “How long have you been here?”

“Long enough,” Jonah answered, his deep eyes warm and steady. “You really have gotten better at keeping your cool.”

“I guess I have.” Nelly took it as a compliment, and honestly, she did feel pretty calm.

“It’s late,” Jonah said. “Let me take you home.”

“Okay.”
