Chapter: 691

Bethany couldn't shake the feeling that Jonathan was the one who loved more in their relationship.

Jonathan's attempts to make his parents accept her seemed futile. If he, with all his power and influence, couldn't change the dynamics, what hope did she have as an ordinary person?

When Bethany walked back to the ward and pushed open the door, she found Jonathan standing by the window.

He stood tall, exuding a quiet strength. His presence was still as commanding as ever.

Hearing the door, he turned slightly, surprise flickering across his face.

Jonathan's once sharp features had softened, giving him a youthful, almost vulnerable Look.

"You're back."

“Why did you leave the bed without permission? Dr. Shaw told you to stay put until tomorrow." Bethany's voice trembled with worry.

Jonathan's disregard for the doctor's orders scared her.

"It's okay." Jonathan did not want to lie in the bed anymore; he felt uncomfortable.

Bethany rushed over, her eyes filled with concern. "Please, go back to bed."

"Hold on!" Jonathan looked at her with a playful smile. "Give me your hand."

Though unsure of his intent, Bethany extended her hand.

He took her wrist, lifted his shirt, and pressed her palm against his firm abs.

“If I don't get up and move, they'll all disappear."

Bethany was at a loss for words.

"You love touching here when we're intimate, so I have to keep them."

After a moment, Bethany blushed and glared at him. “Let go of me! I don't like touching!"

“You kept touching them last night!"

“That's because I was on top of you. I needed something to hold on to!" she blurted out without thinking, missing the implication.

When she realized it, it was too late. Jonathan had already pinned her against the wall, trapping her.

"You..."

"Bethany, I want it again"

Of course, he didn't even need to say it. She could clearly feel his erection against her belly.
