Chapter 435
Marina had chosen to sat beside Jonathan when she first arrived. She feared Jonathan might think she was a frivolous woman and quickly reached out, pulling on Jonathan’s sleeve in anxious explanation.
Jonathan, those pictures were taken under duress, I’m truly not a shallow woman, Marina said, looking hopefully at Jonathan, seeking comfort.
To her surprise, Jonathan glanced at her icily, pulled his sleeve from her grasp, and sternly said. “Ms. Henderson, we have no connection, you don’t need to explain to me.”
Upon hearing Jonathan’s rejection, Marina was not ready to give up. She shifted her chair closer, sounding somewhat desperate. Jonathan, how can we have no connection! I like you so much, and Lcame back from abroad for you. You can’t treat me like this.”
As she moved closer, a strong perfume wafted into Jonathan’s nostrils. He inhaled deeply while leaning back against Reina and took a deep breath. Suddenly, a fresh scent overpowered the overwhelming perfume smell.
However, his actions startled Reina, who was watching nearby. “What are you doing?”
With Jonathan burying his head in Reina’s neck, his warm breath tickling her, Reina couldn’t help but squirm and push Jonathan’s chest
Jonathan caught Reina’s restless hand and whispered in her ear in this position, “Don’t move, you’re my girlfriend now,”
“This is only temporary. We agreed, during this time, you can’t take advantage of me.” Reina said, looking displeased, her face puffy with anger.
Upon hearing this, Jonathan deeply inhaled Reina’s scent again, mischievously curling his lips, playfully poking her chubby cheeks with his index finger.
“Is this called taking advantage? You’re too pesty.” He said, before lifting Reina and placing her on his seat before she could react.
“What are you doing? I don’t want to sit here, the perfume is 100 strong” Reina cried out, immediately standing up as her backside rouched the chair, pulling on Jonathan. Jonathan sat steadily, unfazed.
“Now someone is eyeing your boyfriend. As a girlfriend, you should show some reaction” Jonathan hinted, quirking his eyebrows significantly. “Let’s see how you perform, my girlfriend.”
Reina could almost scratch this man’s face into pieces at this moment. She couldn’t fathom why this guy had taken a liking to her, Jonathan appeared serious on the surface but turned out to be quite annoying
That night, she had punched Jonathan and then fled, thinking they wouldn’t cross paths again. Yet the moment she arrived home, she saw a car parked in front of her house, Jonathan not only snubbornly followed her home but also caused chaos in her house
Reina had lived with her father; he used to be a policeman in his youth but got injured on a mission, leaving him with a disability, and retired early. While Jonathan kept visiting her house regularly, he inevitably crossed paths with her father.
Her father, a man of integrity, had always emphasized the importance of maintaining principles in relationships. Jonathan’s behavior led to days of scrutiny from her father.
With no alternative, she had made a pact with Jonathan: they would become a couple first adhering to propriety throughout. After a certain time, if Reina found she didn’t love Jonathan, he would let her go. And now, it was the third day of their relationship.
Though annoyed, Reina, fearing Jonathan might bring trouble, reluctantly took a seat. Marina was fuming as she watched the interaction between the two, her face twisted in anger. She glared fiercely at Reina, almost pushing her away directly.
Reina didn’t bother with her, engrossed in her own meal. From the moment she saw Marina at the police station, she hadn’t liked her, finding her arrogant and foolish, always stirring up trouble. Reina thought to herself that it was no wonder Jonathan didn’t like her with a personality like that. Reina focused on her food while Jonathan occasionally engaged in small talk. To others, they appeared like a loving couple
Completely being ignored, Marina’s eyes and heart were filled with resentment. She scrutinized Reina up and down with her eyes, secretly forming a plan. She thought to herself. If someone dares to snatch the man I have my eyes on, then they should be prepared for my retaliation
Today, Reina was wearing a white gauze dress. When this type of dress gets wet, it not only becomes transparent but also clings tightly to the body. Marina wanted to pour some wine on Reina so she couldn’t have fun with Jonathan.
With this in mind, Marina held a wine glass with red wine. Pretending to take a sip, the next moment her hand moved towards Reina. With a smug amile on her face, she seemed to have succeeded
However, things didn’t go as planned for her. Being a police officer, Reina was naturally alert. As the wine glass tilted towards her, she coldly curved her lips and then pretended to move, accidentally brushing against Marina’s wrist. The wine glass, originally tilting towards Reina, immediately shifted direction and spilled onto Marina’s body.
“Ah!” With Marina’s sharp scream, her clothes in the abdomen area were already soaked with red wine. Due to her tight–fitting dress, the red wine

dripped down her legs onto the floor. As the fabric of her dress wasn’t of high quality, it revealed the color of her underwear when wet. She looked disheveled and entharrarı.
People around, drawn by the commotion, looked over, with a few of them having seen Marina’s photos before and now starting to comment on her figure. Marina’s eyes were now red, and the raised her hand as if to sap Reina.
“You despicable woman, this was intentional Marina spoke with intense hatred, making it clear that she exerted force as she attempted to strike Reina. Reina narrowed her eyes slightly and didn’t flinch, just as she was about to retaliate, someone was already a step ahead
Jonathan shielded Reina behind him, gripped Marina’s wrist tightly, and forcefully pushed her away. “Daring to strike my woman, do you want to die?” Wish Jonathan’s actions, Marina clumsily fell to the ground.
She struggled to get up, looking aggrieved, and shouted. “This woman poured red wine on me for no reason, why can’t I hit her?”
Jonathan let out a cold inor, showing disdain. “Do you think no one sees through your intentions Let me tell you, this is your fault. And even if she was at fault, as long as I’m here, you won’t be able to harm her.”
Upon hearing this, Marina froze, tears welling up in her eyes, Joining her in a kind of daze was Reina, who was being protected by Jonathan. She stared somewhat blankly at the man in front of her. This was the first time someone had stood up for her without questioning right or wrong.
Since she was eight years old when her father had an accident and her mother left, she hadn’t experienced being protected by anyone. Perhaps having developed an independent personality from a young age, more often than not, she was the one protecting others. Facing Jonathan’s protection at this moment, she was deeply moved
