Jonathan’s voice was cold as he finished the order. Just then, Mabel stepped out of the kitchen. “Mr. Fullbuster, the food’s been warm for a while. Is Mrs. Fullbuster still
not up p>
Jonathan glanced at the tightly closed bedroom door, and the sternness on his handsome face softened. “She’s awake. Go ahead and set the table p>
“Alright. Mrs. Fullbuster must be starving. I’ll hurry,” Mabel replied, bustling back into the kitchen.
Hearing this, Zion suddenly understood why Jonathan had skipped work today. He chuckled to himself. “Mr. Fullbuster, those personal items I got for you came in handy, huh? Mrs. Fullbuster’s inexperienced, and you really went all out p>
It was nearly noon, and she still hadn’t gotten up. Anyone could guess that Jonathan had been intense the night before.
Zion felt giddy, like a kid in a candy store. Gossiping about Jonathan’s private life was rare— missing this moment could mean never getting another chance.
A brief silence followed on the line, then Jonathan’s low, icy voice came through.
“Mrs. Fullbuster’s inexperienced? How would you know that p>
Zion, caught up in his excitement, didn’t notice the warning in the tone.
He laughed again. “Oh, the day Mrs. Fullbuster got divorced, I happened to overhear her and Ms. Sweeting arguing with Melody. That’s when I realized she and her ex never did anything. Mr. Fullbuster, I honestly think Zacharias is blind or has weird tastes—always chasing someone else instead of what’s right in front of him p>
Halfway through, Zion felt a chill run through him. Something is wrong.
By the time he realized he’d probably crossed a line, Jonathan’s frosty voice was already in his ear. “With a mind that filthy, you’re in charge of the Cirelia Project p>
The Cirelia Project was AeroAir’s charity initiative to build roads and schools in remote, neglected villages. By the time Zion finished, he’d probably be living like a
caveman.
“No! Please, Mr. Fullbuster. I-” Zion said, but Jonathan had already hung up.

Zion wanted to smack himself. He couldn’t keep his mouth shut, and he shouldn’t have brought up the ex while the boss was clearly in a good mood. Gossiping about Jonathan’s private life was a mistake.
Meanwhile, Anneliese shuffled out of the bedroom. She opened the door just in time to hear Jonathan remark that she was inexperienced.
Anneliese nearly tripped and almost hit her head on the door. She wanted to retreat but didn’t know who Jonathan had been speaking to or how much worse the conversation might have been. Bracing herself, she stepped out.
On the couch, Jonathan hung up the phone and turned toward her, sensing her presence. Mortified and flustered, Anneliese locked eyes with him.
The midday sun poured through the large windows, making his white shirt look spotless. His black dress pants were perfectly pressed, highlighting his long legs. He looked calm, collected, and entirely in control-restrained and dignified.
All Anneliese could see were memories of last night. He pinning her down, pulling her onto his lap, coaxing and teasing her in every way, completely unrestrained. She didn’t touch her face, but she could feel it burning red. Her expression was anything but
natural.
Jonathan, however, appeared completely unfazed, calm, and composed as if last night had never happened.
Anneliese felt frustrated and disconnected. She just stood there, watching him walk closer.
He reached out and touched her forehead. “Why’s your face so red? Are you running a fever p>
Anneliese shook her head, but caught the teasing glint in Jonathan’s deep, narrow eyes. He wasn’t concerned about her being sick-he was clearly teasing her for blushing so easily.
She had no way to hide it. Her fair, sensitive skin made even the slightest embarrassment noticeable-a trait she had had since childhood.
She glared at him. “It’s your fault! Who were you on the phone with, talking nonsense like
that p>
She felt genuinely upset. Discussing such private matters about their marriage with someone else made her feel disrespected and uncomfortable. She paused, wondering if she was misunderstanding.

From what she knew, Jonathan wasn’t the type to cross the line or act tactlessly.
