Chapter: 809

Jonathan playfully nibbled her ear, teasing her further. “Remember, you're not allowed to think about having that kind of contact with anyone but me!"

Bethany recoiled in shock, exclaiming, “Jonathan, you've really been overdoing it with these ‘forbidden' things lately."

Everything seemed to be off-limits.

He had started imposing rules on her left and right.

He had never been this controlling before.

“It's all because you're making too many men take an interest in you."

She fired back, “I didn't"

Jonathan raised his eyebrows and questioned, "Then what about Jayson?"

Bethany fell silent for a moment.

“And Ryan? What about him?"

She remained quiet.

“Speaking of him, I still need to settle some scores."

Merely crushing Ensson Corporation wasn't enough.

Bethany looked at Jonathan but didn't speak up for Ryan or show any intention of doing so.

Getting punished for wrongdoing seemed only natural. After all, Ryan had put Nola in danger. As Nola's father, how could Jonathan just let it slide?

"So, have you decided when you're going back to pick up the kids?"

Bethany had no sympathy for Ryan, but Jayson... She felt uncertain.

She had yet to break the news to Jayson about taking the children away. She just didn't know how to bring it up.

It felt too harsh.

“How about next week?" Jonathan pressed, leaving no room for Bethany to reconsider. The sooner, the better-he was eager to see the children.

How could any father stand the thought of his children being raised by a rival in love?

"Your body..."

"I'm fine, really." " The urgency was clear. He needed to take the children back soon.

Sensing his firm resolve, Bethany sighed in resignation. “Then why even ask me? You've already had Brody book the flight, haven't you?"
