Chapter 165
Nina was taken aback. She pulled her hand from Alex’s grip and look a few steps back. “I’m sorry.” She was clearly flustered.
Alex didn’t force further and continued, “Nina, from now on, my vote of affection will go to you every day. If you want, you
can choose me anytime”
Upon hearing these words, Nina didn’t resist as she had last time. “Alex, if Jonathan found out you were saying these things to me privately, he wouldn’t let it go. Please don’t do this anymore.”
“Nina, you’re still deceiving yourself. Isn’t it clear who Jonathan likes? If you continue like this, you’ll just end hurt.”
up
“No matter who Jonathan likes, my heart will always choose him” “So, please don’t waste your efforts.” With that, Nina turned and walked away.
Nina couldn’t come to terms with it. She wondered. Had Jonathan really fallen for someone else? Did he even know my feelings for him?
Meanwhile, Preston finally came back. He had just accomplished something significant. As he returned, he saw Jonathan sitting by the campfire.
“Uncle, why aren’t you going back to sleep With no one else around, and knowing the live room was off, Preston casually called Jonathan “Uncle”
Jonathan glanced at the tent across from him and then said. “Go back to sleep. I’ll stay here a little longer

Preston’s expression was firry. “Cynthia doesn’t have romantic feelings for me right now, but she doesn’t dislike me either How many couples in this work! fall mutually in love from the very start? Very few, right?
“So, as I continue to pursue her, there will come a day when she sees my

“That day will never come
Preston was taken aback. “Uncle, what did you say?”
I’m saying you two are never going to be together.”
Preston’s face showed a hint of anger. “Why?”
“Because I won’t allow it.”
“Uncle!” Preston’s face turned red, and his breath quickened. “Give me a reason.”
“The reason is, she’s my
woman!”
jonathan’s voice was calm. He looked up at Preston, his eyes steady and unmoved, as if he were casually commenting on the weather.
But Preston felt as if he’d been struck by lightning. His eyes stared blankly at Jonathan, with a clearly shocked expression on his face. His mouth opened a few times, but no words came ou
After a long silence, Preston finally recovered his composure. “Uncle, do you like Cynthia?”
Jonathan added two more pieces of dry wood to the campfire. The flames leaped high between them, illuminating Jonathan’s unusually serious face. “It’s not like. It’s love.”
Preston’s face turned as white as a sheet. After a moment, something Haven’t you always loved Nina?”
seemed to click in his mind. “And what about Nina?
Everyone in Betrico knows that Nina is the special person in Jonathan’s heart.
“I just care for her, that’s all, and it’s not much different from how I feel about you.”
Preston seemed to finally understand. Indeed, Jonathan liked Nina. At first, it was just others complimenting Nina. But Jonathan never denied it publicly.
And over the years, he hadn’t dated any other women. That’s how the rumors spread and got out of control until they became a widely accepted truth.
In fact, nobody really knew what kind of relationship he had with Nina.
Preston’s heart began to sink. If his rival was someone else, he’d be confident in beating them. But if it was Jonathan…. “What about Cynthia! Does she like you too?”

It was obvious there was some unusual bond between Cynthia and Jonathan. Ever polite to everyone except Jonathan, whom she treated with unexplainable hostility.
But it wasn’t just simple hostility.
Jonathan stated calmly, “We’ve been together for three years.”
It was like a bombshell. It completely shattered any lingering hope Preston had, turning it into dust,

Before Jonathan could speak, Preston had already made a conclusion. “You broke up with Cynthia a long time ago, didn’t you?”
