Chapter 23: Duty-bound

Faced with Jonathan's question, the waiter was stunned, hesitating for a while unsure of how to respond. He had worked in this place for several years, and this was the first time he had encountered such a peculiar question. Ella couldn't hold back and snorted with laughter, her shoulders shaking continuously, slapping her thigh. Henry also laughed, but his eyes were full of disdain. Isabella touched her fair forehead, it seemed that her junior brother didn't quite understand these things… "Jonathan, this wine isn't expired, and for this kind of Lafite red wine, the older it is, the better it tastes." "Really? I've never heard of that before," Jonathan said. "Are you from a village? The older the red wine, the better it tastes, isn't that common knowledge? Don't you know that?" Ella asked. Jonathan looked surprised, “How did you know I'm from a village? Did my senior sister tell you?" Ella widened her eyes, “You really are from a village? Oh my, I can't, I'm laughing so much, you're a real country bumpkin." Henry said, "You came to Skyward State to connect with Isabella, didn't you? And it seems like you haven't found a job yet. How about this, you can work as a security guard for my company. Considering Isabella, I'll give you six thousand a month." Jonathan sneered, "Do I need your help? I make millions in a day. Six thousand a month? Who are you trying to demean?" "Keep boasting, making millions a day," Ella scoffed. "If you don't believe me, then forget it, my abilities are beyond the comprehension of a stupid woman like you." Seeing Jonathan boast, Henry felt even more contemptuous in his heart. He had been overthinking, to actually consider this fellow as a rival. This kind of person is not worthy to be his enemy, and not even worthy to appear before him. Henry guessed that he could easily get rid of this guy just by giving him some money. He should deal with this quickly to prevent him from interfering with his pursuit of Isabella. After finishing the meal, Isabella declined Henry's offer to take her home and took a taxi to a villa area. This is where Isabella lived, and Ella, as her best friend, also lived with her. Looking at the three-story villa in front of him, Jonathan smacked his lips. His senior sister was also a little rich woman, able to afford a villa. But this villa was much worse than the one Mr. Ford had given him. Jonathan didn't know that the villas in Silver Snow Mountain were only sold to big shots in Skyward State. Even if they had money, they couldn't buy them. Naturally, they were much better than the villas here. "Isabella, why did you bring him here? Do you want him to live with us?" Ella glanced at Jonathan, who was looking around, and asked Isabella. Perhaps because Jonathan had repeatedly offended her, she didn't like this guy, even to the point of disgust! If it wasn't for her best friend, she wouldn't want to spend a minute with this guy. "If he really is my junior brother, he will indeed live with us in the future," Isabella said. "Ah? Having a man live with us is so inconvenient, what if he's a bad person, what if he takes advantage of me?" Ella grabbed Isabella's arm, looking pitiful. Isabella helplessly said, "I believe he's not that kind of person, don't worry, I'm here. If he dares to make a move on you, I'll contact the master and have him expelled from the sect." "Well...alright then," Ella could only agree upon hearing this. "Senior sister, what are you two talking about?" At this moment, Jonathan asked curiously. "I won't tell you!" Ella glared at Jonathan and walked straight into the villa. "This woman, she really needs to be disciplined," Jonathan said viciously. After entering the villa, Isabella sat on the living room sofa and said to Jonathan, "Take off your pants." What! Jonathan thought he had misheard, “Senior sister, can you speak louder, I didn't hear you." Isabella calmly looked at Jonathan, “I asked you to take off your pants." "Isabella, what are you trying to do!" Ella looked at her best friend incredulously. Was this still her good sister, asking a man to take off his pants in front of them! She knew her best friend had always been chaste, she didn't even have a close male friend. If it wasn't for her deliberate matchmaking, even Henry wouldn't be able to get this close. "Do we have to be this direct..." Jonathan was stunned. Did the senior sister... feel thirsty and wanted him to serve her? But looking at her fairy-like appearance, it seemed not bad to be her man. While Jonathan was daydreaming, Isabella's heart was not calm either. She clenched her jade hand tightly, and her palm was sweaty. Her master had told her that she had a junior brother, and one day he would come to find her. But she couldn't contact her master now, and the only way to confirm Jonathan's identity was this method. The master once said that the junior brother has a dark red diamond-shaped birthmark on the inside of his thigh. The master had sent her a picture of the birthmark. If Jonathan's birthmark matches the picture, he is her junior brother. "Senior sister, if you want, the junior brother can totally dedicate himself, but the precondition is can you let this woman go?" Jonathan looked like he was ready to make a heroic sacrifice. "We can't cheapen other women." With one sentence, he almost killed Ella with anger. She glared at Jonathan, “You damn turtle, do you think I like watching you? I like guys with abs. With your bamboo pole-like body, I'm afraid I'll get an eye disease from looking at you!" "Stop! Both of you stop arguing," Isabella felt a headache and said to Jonathan, "If you feel shy, just go to the bathroom with me." Huh? Senior sister likes to play this kind of trick? Although Jonathan thought about getting married in the future, being forced to do so now, he always felt something was strange... "Alright then, since senior sister wants it, the junior brother is duty-bound!" After saying that, he followed Isabella to the bathroom. When they arrived at the bathroom door, before they could enter, Jonathan couldn't help but say, "Senior sister, aren't you going to drive the woman in the living room away? What if she eavesdrops?" Isabella's face turned slightly red, “Nonsense, hurry up and go in!" "Senior sister, I... I'm still a virgin, don't be in such a hurry. Be gentle, I..." Before Jonathan could finish speaking, Isabella pushed him in, “I told you to go in and take off your trousers, and come out in shorts!" Jonathan in the bathroom looked disappointed. What the hell, it turns out she wanted him to take off his trousers. He was ready to dedicate himself... Not much later, Jonathan came out of the bathroom, “Senior sister, is this okay?" When Jonathan came out, Ella said she wouldn't look, but she inadvertently glanced at him and couldn't take her eyes off him. Who would have thought, this bastard actually has abs... "Alright, alright, hurry up and go put your trousers back on!" Isabella's face turned faintly red. Although the time was short, she clearly saw a dark red diamond-shaped birthmark on the inside of Jonathan's thigh. She was certain, this was her junior brother! When Jonathan came out of the bathroom for the second time, he found that Isabella and Ella were sitting on the sofa, looking at him with scrutinizing eyes. If there was one more person, it would be like a three-court trial. "Senior sister, I..." "Don't ask anything yet, I'll ask you," Isabella paused, then said, "When did you come to Skyward State?" "Uh... I just arrived recently..." Before Jonathan could finish speaking, Ella said, "Just arrived? Who would believe that, you even found a real copy of the Yellow Court Classic a few days ago." "Damn! This girl really holds a grudge!" Jonathan cursed in his heart and said, "I was just hanging out with friends." At this moment, Isabella said, "You don't have a place to stay yet, right? Stay here for now. Also, did you sell that Yellow Court Classic book yesterday? Let me hold onto the money for you, so you don't spend it recklessly. I'll give it back to you once you've settled down here." With just one sentence, Jonathan was left dumbfounded. Oh no! The little treasure chest is not safe!
