"Jenny, you are still very young. You can meet someone better in the future. Do you know that?" Jonathan said, stroking Jenny's beautifully flowing hair. Her hair was slightly wet from the rain that soaked the city.
Jenny kept her arms around Jonathan and said, "But they're not you. I only want you..."
"Jenny, sit down on the sofa. I will call Anya and tell her you are here. I won't tell your grandfather for a while, don't worry."
Jonathan took his cell phone and was ready to call Anya. But nervously, Jenny grabbed his hand and held him back. "Uncle, you can't tell auntie. If she found out, Uncle Aiden would know too. They must be looking for me right now. If uncle finds out that I'm here, what should I do if he wants to send me to Grandpa's house?"
"But you can't stay here either," Jonathan looked embarrassed.
"I can sleep on the couch. I just want to spend the new year with you," Jenny returned to Indonesia for Jonathan's sake. She just wants to spend the new year with the man she loves.
She had just met Jonathan. She didn't want Aiden to pick her up and separate them again.
Hearing a voice from the front door, Sherry, who was cleaning the kitchen came over. She saw Jenny holding Jonathan's hand and swaying it fondly.
Jenny noticed that someone else was in the room. When she saw her, Jenny immediately recognized who the woman in front of her was. It was Sherry Yang, a host who used to appear on television. Previously, Sherry had been invited to lead the annual Atmajaya Group's event.
But how could she be with Jonathan, a single man, in the middle of the night like this?
Jenny frowned. Her eyes looked at Sherry with a cold gaze. "Uncle, who is she and why is she in your house?"
"Sherry, come here and introduce yourself. This is Jenny," Jonathan saw Sherry standing in front of the kitchen door awkwardly.
Sherry stepped forward and said, "Hello, Jenny. I'm Sherry Yang. Nice to meet you."
Jenny tried to smile, but her lips were stiff, not moving at all. She gripped Jonathan's hand tightly, not wanting to let go. "Sherry, I have to speak to Uncle Jonathan. If you're busy, you can go."
"Jenny, she's the woman I'm dating. Tonight, I asked her to celebrate the new year with me," Jonathan said calmly.
After saying that, the man pulled his hand from Jenny's grip and walked over to Sherry's side, putting his arm around her shoulder.
Jenny felt the emptiness in her hands, but it was nothing compared to the emptiness that had seeped into her heart. Her eyes were full of wounds. "Uncle, are you kidding me? You're dating her?"
"Sherry is mature and understanding. I think we're going well," Jonathan tilted his head and leaned closer to Sherry. "Don't you think so?"
Jenny stood rooted to her spot. Her hand clutched her chest which was aching from an invisible wound. She looked at Sherry from head to toe with eyes filled with hatred. "Uncle, what do I lack from her?"
Jonathan smiled. "Jenny, in my eyes, you are my niece. Meanwhile, Sherry is a woman. Do you understand? I will call Anya and ask her to pick you up. If you don't obey, I'll call your grandfather."
"Jonathan!" Jenny shouterbangrily. "Don't call my grandfather. If he finds out I went back secretly, he'll send me abroad and won't let me come back again."
Jonathan's hand stroked Sherry's shoulder, making the woman stare at him subconsciously.
"Your grandfather was strict for your own good. You are still young. There is nothing wrong if you learn more in other countries. You can also see the vastness of the world," Jonathan's voice still sounded calm, not that much different from before.
Jenny was very disappointed. Was Jonathan really not surprised to see her? Was he really that unhappy?
Didn't he miss her?
Jenny came all the way to surprise Jonathan, but instead the man gave her a surprise.
Jonathan already has a girlfriend.
"You all said it was the best for me. But don't you guys care about what I want? Jonathan, I hate you. I shouldn't have come back here," Jenny's eyes were fixed on the man, as if to poke a hole in his face. "I never knew you have such a preference,"
In the face of Jenny's cynicism, Jonathan could only take a deep breath. "Jenny, your job now is just to study hard and finish your studies."
The man then reached out his hand to stroke Jenny's head.
But Jenny stepped back to avoid him. "It's none of your business. My family is taking the best care of me, I don't need another nanny. Once you've made up your mind, I can only wish you happiness."
After saying that, Jenny turned and left. Jonathan immediately held her hand. "It's this late, where do you want to go?"
Jenny turned and looked at Jonathan coldly. "It seems you have forgotten who I am. Do I need to remind you? I am Jenny, the daughter of the Atmajaya Family. I am much more valuable than you can imagine. Do you think I can't go anywhere I want?"
"Jenny, don't be like that. If you don't want to be picked up, can I take you?" Jonathan knew that Jenny was just mad right now. So far, the girl has never boasted of her status as a member of the Atmajaya Family. She was always humble and kept her low profile.
"Don't you hear what I said? I said I hate you and don't want to see you again!" Jenny pushed Jonathan's body.
The man wanted to hold her, but Jenny lifted her knee and kicked him right in his crotch. Jonathan then crouched down in pain.
His other hand was still holding Jenny and wouldn't let go, no matter how much pain he felt. "Jenny, it's late. It's not safe out there. Wait for your uncle to pick you up."
"Just take care of yourself!" Jenny withdrew her hand and left Jonathan's house without hesitation.
Jonathan wanted to chase after her, but the pain prevented him from walking. He could only stare at the figure as she was stubbornly leaving under the pouring rain and the puddles of water.
"Jenny!" Rudi rolled down his car window and greeted Jenny with a smile.
After dealing with Jessica, Rudi bought a new house, right next to Jonathan.
"Why do I have to see you everywhere I go…" Jenny was in such a bad mood that everything that came out of her mouth sounded very spicy.
"Today is New Year's Eve. Did you see Jonathan?" Rudi asked.
Jenny stood where she was and looked back to see that Jonathan was still standing in front of the door looking at her.
When she looked back, her eyes were cold. "Where do you live? I want to go to your house."
"Are you sure?" asked Rudi. Even though he didn't know what had happened, he knew that Jenny was angry.
Jenny was too lazy to explain. She opened the car's door and got inside.
"I live behind Jonathan's house. No one accompanied me to celebrate the new year together. But I think I've got a partner now." Rudi got into the car with a smile and closed the door. Then he helped Jenny to put the suitcase into the trunk.
Before leaving, he honked at Jonathan and after that, they went together.
Jenny sat in the car in silence. She couldn't even look at Jonathan anymore.
She had come all the way from abroad because she missed the man she loved so much.
But it turned out that Jonathan had another woman.
The man she loved only thought of her as a kid.
The man she loved didn't even think of her as a woman.
Jenny felt so ridiculous.
