I Am Unstoppable novel

Chapter 24 Chef Of The Day

Polly smiled slightly and said, “There is a reason as to why I’m telling you this. It is to remind you not to

look down on the Strikezone Martial Arts. You won’t be able to win them with just your strength. Randy

invited a lot of witnesses for the final match that is happening in three days. All those witnesses are

reputable masters in the martial arts world. You can talk it out with him before the match. The results of

the match will not matter. In the future, you will never accept any challenges from Strikezone Martial

Arts anymore, and they can’t take revenge on you as well.”

Jonathan’s eyes brightened. Randy is a disciple of Strikezone Martial Arts. With that title around his

neck, he would need to maintain that reputation. If that is the case, it seems possible to do that.

“Why?” Jonathan looked at Polly and continued to ask, “Why are you helping me?”

Polly chuckled lightly and replied, “I am a businesswoman. Isn’t it normal for people who do business to

be extremely sociable and look for better opportunities?”

Jonathan was a little skeptical. “Then wouldn’t it be a high-cost business for you? As soon as I defeat

Randy, the disciples of Strikezone Martial Arts would start holding a grudge. Everyone would hate me.

If they see you getting along with me, wouldn’t they hate you as well?”

Polly replied solemnly, “There’s no specific reason, actually. Money is not that important to me.

However, you are very interesting, and I’ve taken a special interest. It’s just that simple.”

Jonathan raised his cup and exclaimed, “Cheers, then!”

After they were done drinking the wine, Jonathan bid Polly farewell and left. Before he left, though,

Jonathan did something that made Polly speechless. He said, “Since you’re the one who asked me out

to drink, you’re footing the bill!”

Polly laughed bitterly at that.

On the other hand, Jonathan took a taxi home after leaving the bar.

The next morning, he realized that it was rather inconvenient for him without a car. He was so used to

having one. Now that it was gone, he felt a little empty.

However, Jonathan was not that shameless to go to Rose Couture in order to get the car. As long as

the final match was not over yet, he would never step foot into Rose Couture.

Without hesitation, Jonathan went to a second-hand shop and used eighty thousand to buy a

seemingly new AMC Gremlin. Even though the AMC Gremlin was not comparable to a BMW, Jonathan

still felt better driving his own car.

At noon, Jonathan called Jennifer on the phone. His relationship with Jennifer right now was a little

ambiguous. Nonetheless, it was also the best part in a relationship.

After she picked up the call, Jonathan told her about the car he had bought. He also told her where that

sum of money came from. Jonathan then stated, “Jen, why don’t I pick you up from work tonight? I’ll

buy some groceries first. We can cook together when we get back home.”

Upon hearing that, Jennifer’s face flushed as she felt her heart beat faster. The whole situation made it

seem like they were already married. Nevertheless, Jennifer didn’t dislike it at all. With a shy voice, she

replied, “Up to you.”

In Jonathan’s eyes, that was an agreement.

When Jonathan noticed Jennifer’s current attitude toward him, he felt more relaxed and delighted. He

knew that they had just made a significant improvement in their relationship.

At five-thirty in the evening, Jonathan drove up to the front of Rose Couture punctually.

He did not enter the company and chose to wait in the car.

As for Jennifer, she actually drove to work that morning. However, when Jonathan said he was fetching

her from work, Jennifer was more than willing not to drive her car. I’m doing this so he doesn’t feel

embarrassed!

When Jennifer was getting into the car, Jessica and Yasmin walked out of the company. The two of

them managed to see her going into the vehicle.

Jessica furrowed her eyebrows and said, “Hey. Look at that car over there. Why does the driver look so

much like Jonathan?”

On the other hand, Yasmin did not seem to be too bothered by the scene. She replied, “So what if it

really is Jonathan? They knew each other beforehand anyways.”

Jessica looked over and said, “Jonathan is so damn broke. Where would he get the money to buy a

car? There must be something fishy going on.”

Yasmin rolled her eyes and responded, “Jessy, let’s stop suspecting Jonathan. I gave him a hundred

thousand before, remember? Plus, that AMC Gremlin is second-hand, can’t you tell? What makes you

think that he does not have the money for it?”

Jessica heard those words and calmed down a little. However, she still felt a little uneasy and

uncomfortable. As for why she was feeling that way, Jessica could not tell either.

Meanwhile, Jonathan and Jennifer had driven back to Baykeep. Right after that, the two of them carried

the groceries up the stairs.

When they got into the house, Jonathan told Jennifer to stay on the couch. He turned on the television

and air conditioner before preparing her a cup of tea.

“What are you doing?” Jennifer thought that the situation was strange. Jonathan replied to her, “Jen,

you’ve worked hard today. I will prepare your dinner tonight. All you need to do is wait and enjoy it

later.”

With that said, Jonathan picked up the groceries and headed into the kitchen.

Jennifer was a little worried and asked, “Do you know how to cook? Don’t burn down the house.”

Jonathan laughed in response. “Don’t look down on me. I’m a perfect family man who cooks and fights

as well! Plus, I know how to ride a motorcycle, drive a Ferrari, and control a fighter jet.”

Jennifer then said, “Okay, okay. You don’t have to brag anymore. I’m looking forward to the meal!” She

felt that Jonathan was really over bragging.

In reality, she did not know that every single word Jonathan said was true.

Jonathan chuckled heartily and went into the kitchen.

Jennifer spent around thirty minutes in the living room. She kept hearing noises from the kitchen and

couldn’t help but peek from time to time.

When she arrived in the kitchen, she saw Jonathan in a rather feminine apron as he cut the vegetables

seriously.

She did not know why but as she took in the scene, Jennifer felt her eyes burn with tears.

Just then, Jonathan turned back to look at her. Upon seeing her tears, Jonathan was at a loss.

He said, “Hey, Jennifer. Why are you crying? Did I do something wrong? Don’t be angry at me.”

Jennifer did not verbally respond as she took a few steps forward before falling into Jonathan’s

embrace.

The man stiffened before he came back to his senses. He held Jennifer’s waist as he hugged her back.

As he felt her soft skin against his, Jonathan could feel his heart beat faster.

This feeling is absolutely marvelous!

On the other hand, Jennifer thought that an evening like this really gave her the warm feeling of a

family. She could not remember when was the last time she felt this way.

When she got married on impulse, it was as if she had stepped into hell.

Until now, Jennifer had been living alone in this city. She worked hard and did not depend on anyone.

Jennifer held onto her dignity stubbornly.

At first, she had a bad fall out with her parents. However, it was indeed a wrong decision on Jennifer’s

part. Therefore, she felt too embarrassed to face her parents.

After a long while, Jennifer returned to her senses. Her eyes were red, and she turned around to hide

them from Jonathan.

“Jennifer, why don’t you set up the table for me? We will start dinner soon,” said Jonathan.

He thought that Jennifer was touched by his actions and felt really happy.

This meal was extremely pleasant. Jonathan’s culinary skills were indeed good. Jennifer was delighted

at that and kept complimenting him.

Jonathan then exclaimed, “Jen, if you like my cooking, I’m more than happy to cook for you every

single day!”

“In your dreams!” exclaimed Jennifer as she glared at Jonathan with flushed cheeks. He was just

saying it for the sake of saying it. He knew that things should not be rushed too. Hence, he laughed it

off and did not say anything more.

After their dinner, Jonathan wanted to help her clean the dishes, but Jennifer did not allow that.

She is such a considerate girl.

Jonathan could not help the sigh that he let out inwardly.

After everything was done, he stayed at Jennifer’s place and hung around. Jennifer also sat down

when she was done with the dishes.

The atmosphere was warm and jolly as the both of them started chatting with each other.

Jonathan could feel Jennifer accepting him slowly. This is a great start.

Nonetheless, he understood that he should not be too impatient and rush into things. He then told

Jennifer it was time for him to leave.

Jennifer did not ask him to stay. Instead, she got onto her feet and sent him off.

The next day was a bright and sunny day.

Jonathan received a call from Cyclops first thing in the day. The latter said with a grim voice over the

phone, “Ten in the morning. Randy will be waiting for you at Jade Fencing Club.”

Jonathan replied lazily, “Okay. I understand. You are dismissed now.” He hung up the phone after that.

Cyclops was furious over that. However, he was helpless in that situation.
