Chapter 136
Ken nodded silently when he saw how Jonathan could not wait to face so many questions from so many people.
Although Jonathan lends 100 million to their families and helps them get through the crisis, Ken will not be willing to hand Tara over to him if she is a rich, ignorant, and arrogant child.
After all, this was related to her daughter's happiness for the rest of her life. However, he could not immediately return the money to Jonathan, so he felt conflicted. What if Jonathan really is a stupid, incompetent rich kid?
Luckily, Jonathan's performance so far has been satisfactory. He was a very rich kid, yet he could still be so humble and self-effacing when he answered questions from so many people.
It proves that Jonathan has good character, so Ken is relieved.
Meanwhile, Jonathan was tired.
He's exhausted!
If he knew this was going to happen, he would not come at all.
People who have never been asked questions by aunts will never know how great this is. Jonathan felt that even fighting with Zachary was not too exhausting.
Everyone questioned him simultaneously so Jonathan could feel his brain buzzing.
The most important thing was that some of them even looked down on him, which made him feel helpless.
He wanted to tell them that he was the richest man in the world.
However, no one would believe it if he said that.
Finally, she managed to answer the questions from the people in the living room, but then, four to five middle-aged women walked out of the kitchen and asked everyone to get ready to eat. After they did that, they started bombarding Jonathan with questions again.
Jonathan felt very uncomfortable during the meal as everyone took good care of this new son-in-law of the Smith family.
They would propose a toast to him and would bring him food.
On one hand, Tara was a little dazed when she saw Jonathan smiling even though he was surrounded and attacked by his family.
How great would it be if this was real?
He wishes this was real and Jonathan is his girlfriend.
If that was the case, then she would be the happiest woman in the world.
They finally finished eating.
Since Jonathan's physical condition has improved, he doesn't feel drunk even though he drinks a lot of alcohol.
On the other hand, more than half of the people grilling Jonathan fainted.
Jonathan wanted to leave in the afternoon, but because he drank alcohol, the Smiths insisted that he stay.
That can't be avoided. So, Jonathan can only pretend to be drunk until Tara finally takes him to her room for a nap.
On the other hand, he was also afraid that these people would start bombarding him again in the afternoon. If that happens, he'll go crazy.
At night, Jonathan is awakened by Tara who tells him that it is time for dinner.
Jonathan notices that besides him and Tara, there is no one else in the house.
“We'll have dinner at the hotel tonight. They're gone and it's just the two of us at home now,” Tara said.
“Then we have to go.” Jonathan was about to walk out the door when he said that.
"Jonathan," call Tara suddenly.
"Huh?" Jonathan looked at her.
"Thank you for today." whispered Tara.
“I know you're comforting me. A rich kid like you might not be used to the people around you and ask you, right? Also, they greatly underestimated you, but you endured all of that because of me . I really appreciate that!”
“Um... Actually it's nothing, Tara. We are friends and we have to help each other.”
Tara hugged Jonathan from behind. As he was 172cm tall, he leaned his head on Jonathan's shoulder and sobbed as he said, “Jonathan, why are you so nice to me? What am I supposed to do? I like you very much now.”
Jonathan felt a little fickle as he felt Tara's tenderness on him.
"T-Tara, please don't do this," Jonathan said quickly. He was worried that he would not be able to control himself.
Back then, Amelia kept him hot and distracted after he teased her, and only the incidents around Aunt Sally stopped him. Now, Tara did it again?
I'm not a monk, okay?
'Why do you all like to play with fire?'
“Jonathan, can you let me hug you? Don't say anything, let me hug you quietly. ”
After hearing what Tara said, Jonathan did not feel hot and disturbed anymore. She said nothing and only silently felt the warmth of Tara's body in her body.
About ten minutes later, Tara releases Jonathan and removes the tear streaks on his face.
“Thank you, Jonathan. Lefs go. My family will be anxious if we're late.”
After Tara said that, she walked forward while Jonathan smiled bitterly and followed her.
After they disembark, Jonathan escorts himself and Tara to the hotel. It is the only five-star hotel in Goat City.
The people who could eat there were famous and prominent people in Goat City. This place represents the best service in Goat City.
The two of them walked into the private room Ken had booked. It was a very large room, and not crowded even when there were three fully filled tables in the room.
Everyone was already there as they waited for Jonathan and Tara.
"Tara, why so long? Everyone is waiting for you two,” said Aunt Tara, Mary.
Although Jonathan's performance was good, his family background was not good enough, so many of them looked down on him.
Therefore, it was only natural that they would complain about the two being late.
In addition, Ken's help to his relatives may be diminished in the future with this son-in-law.
This is the biggest reason why they don't like Jonathan.
He is handsome and he studied at a prestigious university. If Ken gets a son-in-law who is still alive, then their profits will be greatly reduced.
“I'm sorry, Aunt Maria. There was a traffic jam so that's why we're a little late.”
“Sit down now, I will ask the waiters to bring us our food,” Laura said.
Jonathan and Tara quickly sat next to each other.
Shortly after, the waiters began to bring food.
No one is proposing a toast to Jonathan anymore. Perhaps his alcohol tolerance in the afternoon had frightened everyone.
Still, everyone had fun at dinner.
In the middle of dinner, Ken stood with his wine glass and said, "This toast is for you, Jonathan."
Jonathan also quickly stood up with his glass. He said, “You're too polite, Mr. Smith. This toast is for you.”
“Jonathan, sit back and wait for me to finish. I think everyone knows that I've been cheated. The reason why I was able to return so soon was thanks to Jonathan. If Jonathan hadn't loaned me 100 million dollars, I don't think I'd ever be able to go back in my life. So, I have to toast to you, Jonathan. You saved my whole family. Thank you!"
