Chapter 328 You Shouldn’t Have Kept It From Me

“I never expected you to secretly set up a place identical to Springgate Estates,” Angela withdrew her gaze and whispered to Jonathan.

Jonathan handed a key to her and said in a low voice, “This is for you. It’s a surprise and a gift.”

Angela didn’t take the key. Instead, she looked at Jonathan. Seeing his serious expression, she responded seriously, “Jonathan, I can’t accept this. It’s not-”

Jonathan looked at her helplessly and interrupted her by saying, “Take it. This is our joint property as husband and wife.”

Angela was about to say something else when her phone suddenly rang.

It was a call from Sophia, which completely caught her off guard.

Jonathan also looked at her phone, signaling her to answer the call.

As soon as the call connected, Sophia’s voice came through. “Miss Angela? I was delayed by something the other day and haven’t been able to contact you. Do you talk

have time to

now?”

Sophia was deeply hurt by Christopher and hadn’t fully recovered emotionally for two days. But thinking of the favor requested by Ava, she contacted Angela.

Angela sat on the couch listening to Sophia’s call while Jonathan poured two glasses of water and placed them on the coffee table.

“I have time now, Miss Martinez. What’s the matter?” Angela glanced at Jonathan and smiled at him.

The matter between Christopher and Sophia caused quite a stir in Riverdon. Although Angela didn’t witness it with her own eyes in Riverdon, just hearing about it from Cassie was enough to make her realize how strange and twisted the situation was.

In the whole ridiculous incident, Sophia was undoubtedly the most injured and innocent

one.

Angela felt a little sympathy for Sophia. Thinking of her was like thinking of her naive self in her past life.

“My friend wants to come to Riverdon to thank you. Can I make an appointment for you to

meet my friend?” Sophia’s voice continued to come through the receiver.

Angela came to her senses and politely declined in a low voice, thereafter informing Sophia that she was not in Riverdon at the moment.

Although Sophia was somewhat regretful at the news, she didn’t ask further.

Feeling low in spirits, she hung up after a few words and decided to reply to Ava’s letter.

After hanging up the phone, Jonathan hugged Angela and asked, “Why do you look so upset?” She replied, “Just thinking about some unpleasant things, but they are all in the past.”

Yes, they are all in the past. Those unpleasant things are all from my past life. Now, I’m living well and also have Jonathan by my side.

Thinking of how Jonathan died at such a young age in her past life, Angela became even

more uneasy.

She gazed at Jonathan. “Jonathan, you haven’t been hurting yourself recently, have you?”

Recalling Jonathan’s serious self–harm issues, she suddenly panicked.

Jonathan looked puzzled as he asked, “Why are you suddenly asking about this?”

As he said this, he subconsciously released his left hand and moved it back a bit.

It was just a subconscious gesture, but Angela caught him in the act.

Angela ignored her racing heart as she reached out to grab Jonathan’s left arm and rolled up his sleeve, causing him to freeze in place.

Jonathan didn’t have time to hide, so he just covered Angela’s eyes with his hand.

“It’s okay. It’s already been bandaged up.”

Angela’s eyes instantly turned red, and there was a sharp pain in her chest that she couldn’t control. In a choked–up voice she herself didn’t even notice, she asked, “When did this happen?”

I’ve been keeping an eye on Jonathan recently, so when did he hurt himself again?

Jonathan hugged her, feeling helpless and at a loss, as he softly comforted her, “It’s okay. It

doesn’t hurt.”

Angela stubbornly inquired, “Jonathan, when did this injury occur?”

Feeling resigned, he finally responded, “It happened last night.”

Last night, Angela repeated silently in her mind.

She hadn’t been in Riverdon last night, and Jonathan had a relapse. How helpless and painful he All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

must have been at that moment…

Now, after all this time had passed today, she hadn’t even noticed Jonathan’s injury. She felt

so careless,

Angela gently moved Jonathan’s hand away from her eyes, determined to examine his injury. She gazed at the blood–stained bandage and asked, “The wound is bleeding. Why haven’t you re– bandaged it?”

Jonathan pursed his lips, choosing not to respond.

Angela understood that he didn’t want her to know, nor did he want her to worry.

“You didn’t want me to know, but you shouldn’t keep things from me,” Angela stated, then inquired, “Is there a first aid kit?”

“Yes, it’s in the same place as in Riverdon,” Jonathan finally replied, though his expression was

uncasy.

Angela retrieved the first aid kit and carefully began to remove his bandage.

“I won’t keep things from you in the future,” Jonathan stated.

This time was different, as he had not had urges for a long time. His urges coincided with Angela leaving, and he was afraid she would misunderstand.

Angela suddenly left him, and he felt the urge while alone at home. This fact alone made. him fear that Angela would blame herself.

“Okay, you’d best remember what you said.” Angela rarely made firm requests, but now she wanted Jonathan to give her double assurance.

Jonathan solemnly provided a positive response, watching Angela as she unwrapped the bandage to treat his wound, feeling a warm sensation in his heart.

In the Collier Residence in Northland…

Before Yaxley returned home, Ava was pleading with her mother, Tyra Moore, to allow her to go to Riverdon.

“Mom, please let me go. I promise nothing will happen this time! I want to personally thank the person who saved me last time, and also, with what happened to Sophia, I can go and accompany her.”

Sitting on the couch with Ava was a well–maintained woman. The woman helplessly held Ava’s hand and sighed. “Ava, let’s discuss this when your brother returns. Your health is not good, and your grandmother is seriously ill. It’s better for you not to leave Northland at this

time.”

Ava reluctantly agreed and asked, “When will my brother come back? He came back for a while at noon and left again, but he hasn’t returned yet.”

She had been pampered and sheltered, relying heavily on her brother, Yaxley.

Originally, Ava had wanted to use the excuse of visiting Yaxley to go to Riverdon, but she didn’t expect her brother to have returned to Northland, just not back home yet.

At noon, it was not easy to get him to come back for a visit, but he didn’t stay long before going to the hospital, and he hasn’t returned since.

Although Ava’s grandmother was in poor health, she was not allowed to visit. One reason was Ava’s poor health, and the other was Jacob’s dislike of her being around her grandmother.

“He’s coming back soon. I told Yaxley to make sure he comes back for dinner,” Tyra said as she glanced at the time.

As soon as she finished speaking, the maid’s announcement came from the door.

“Yaxley is back!” Ava heard the voice and immediately got up from the couch and headed straight to the entrance.

Upon seeing Yaxley, she gave him a big hug. “Yaxley, you’re finally back! Please help met persuade Mom to let me go to Riverdon.”
