Chapter 95 Yasir Sullivan
After leaving Mainstay Bar, a tipsy Yvonne walked while holding onto Jonathan’s arm, pressing her
chest against his arm.
She even whispered into his ear and said, “Hey, let’s find a good hotel. I’ll pay for it. I want to have a
good time with another man tonight.”
Jonathan could hear her resentment against her husband in her voice. She had too much to drink
tonight and must have come to find someone out of impulse. She might regret it after she wakes up.
Jonathan liked picking girls up from the bar, but he only chose girls who just wanted to have a good
time and could happily say goodbye after waking up. He would never go to a hotel with someone like
Yvonne, not even during his heydays.
It was even less likely now since he was not as carefree.
As such, he took Yvonne to a nearby hotel and left after settling her down.
He had no desire to find out what became of her. It had nothing to do with him.
After settling her down, he walked out of the hotel.
The road was wide, and the lights were bright.
Occasionally, a car sped by and created a breeze which made him feel slightly cold.
He was not afraid of the cold, but he shuddered involuntarily. It brought a bitter smile to his face.
When did I become so indecisive and hesitant?
Overwhelmed with a sense of self-hatred, Jonathan could not bring himself to feel happy. It was true
that he did not wish to marry Jennifer. However, now that he had left her, he was still unhappy.
He was feeling utterly conflicted. Jonathan felt that his feelings were becoming that of a protagonist in a
third-rate romance .
He suddenly thought of Polly at that moment.
As he had never been too shy with Polly, he immediately gave the latter a call.
The call got through quickly. Jonathan asked with a laugh, “Polly, are you asleep?”
Polly replied coldly, “What would I be doing at this hour other than sleeping?”
“I hope I’m not disturbing you,” he said pretentiously.
“You are.”
Jonathan laughed awkwardly. “I have no place to stay tonight. Can you take me in?”
Polly chuckled. “Weren’t you living with Jennifer? Did you get kicked out because you misbehaved
while you were drunk?”
He laughed it off and said, “I’ll tell you when we meet.”
Polly knew Jonathan well and decided not to say more. Instead, she said, “All right, come over then.”
Jonathan was familiar with where she lived. It was a place that had a sea view.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtUpon receiving the invitation, he quickly drove to Polly’s house.
The latter came out to receive him the moment his car arrived at the seaside mansion. She looked
stylish in a black trench coat and sunglasses.
Upon seeing her, Jonathan felt a sense of familiarity and was at peace. The relationship between the
two was becoming closer unknowingly.
When Jonathan was alone today, he felt helpless and lost.
However, he no longer felt that way now.
“Hehe!” Jonathan waved at her as he giggled.
Polly smiled back and said, “Let’s head in.” With that, she turned around and led the way.
Polly’s magnificent seaside mansion was inspired by traditional architecture and was designed to blend
in with its natural surroundings.
One could see the sea and the beach from the second floor. At night, one could hear the sound of sea
waves.
There were luxurious crystal lamps in the living room which almost blinded Jonathan.
He plunged into the plush couch, stretched out his arms comfortably, and announced, “Polly, your
couch is really comfortable. I’ll sleep here tonight.”
Polly chuckled. “You really treat yourself at home!” Upon returning home, she removed her coat,
revealing the purple pajamas she had underneath. She left him and went to the bar to retrieve a bottle
of red wine.
Jonathan saw her back and found it alluring.
Soon after, Polly walked over with two glasses of wine and offered one to Jonathan. She sat down on
the couch on his left, crossed her legs, and said, “All right, tell me what happened.”
Jonathan took a sip of the red wine, savored it, and declared, “It’s a 1998 Chivas from a winery in
Ferropene.”
“I’ll go sleep if you don’t plan to tell me,” Polly said impatiently. Jonathan did not dare to play tricks
anymore and quickly put up both hands to surrender. He gave a slight chuckle. “Jennifer suddenly
asked if I had thought things through today. I said previously that I was not ready for marriage. She is
not forcing me to get married, but she just wants a clear answer from me.”
“That’s not unreasonable!” Polly replied.
“Indeed. However, putting aside the fact that I’m the Chosen One and that there are many uncertainties
ahead of me, I still don’t want to get married. Just the thought of watching over my wife and children my
whole life makes me shudder.”
“So you rejected Jennifer?” asked Polly.
Jonathan nodded.
“If that’s the case, your problem has been solved. Why are you in your current state then? Is it because
you still like her?” Polly ventured a guess.
Jonathan laughed bitterly. “That’s right.” After a pause, he added, “Whatever decision I make doesn’t
feel right. You know, as martial artists, we focus on serenity and being at peace. However, I don’t know
how to be at peace now. I came here today not to ask how to deal with my problem with Jennifer. I just
want to find out how I can be serene and happy again.”
Polly took a sip of wine and became deep in thought. “I’m not too happy either.”
Jonathan was taken aback. “Huh?”
“Everything that I do has always gone well. However, I’ve always felt that something was amiss.
Rather, I should say I’m lacking some form of challenge. As such, I’m not happy. I feel like my life is a
puddle of still water. It’s also why I can’t reach the Nascent Soul. I’ll also like to find out how I can be
happy.” After a pause, she added, “Jonathan, you aren’t happy because you don’t know what you truly
want. As such, you’ve also not reached the Nascent Soul. We’re in the same situation.”
Jonathan fell into a deep thought.
Polly also remained silent.
After a long time, she said, “Nascent Soul is not easy to break through. It is a mortal’s gateway to
immortality.To achieve immortality, one has to endure countless sufferings to truly understand the way
of life and the meaning of life. Perhaps it’s a good thing that you’re experiencing hardship now. The
moment you sort things out in your mind might be the moment of your breakthrough to Nascent Soul.
”
Jonathan’s heart skipped a beat and felt what Polly said was logical. He then thought about what Mabel
said about Destino Art.
It always felt as though he had figured something out but he was not clear what it was.
Polly stood up, downed the wine in her glass, and said, “There’s a guest room upstairs. You can stay
here if you don’t feel like returning anytime soon. I’ll go sleep now.”
With that, she went upstairs.
Jonathan sat cross-legged on the couch. He still could not figure out his Destino Art. What is my
greatest desire? Wealth? No. Beautiful women? No. Freedom? No.
He breathed out audibly and gave up as he could not figure things out.
In the end, Jonathan decided not to think about anything and fell asleep on the couch.
However, he did not know the kind of impact that he had caused Jennifer the moment he walked out of
the door.
Her heart was torn into pieces, and she was filled with pain.
She did not want to cry like a little girl. As such, when tears filled her eyes, she lifted her head to
prevent her tears from falling.
She did not want to seem weak.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEven if no one could see her, she did not want to cry.
The more significant reason was that her feelings for Jonathan were dead.
As such, Jennifer woke up early the next day, put on her exercise clothes, and went jogging. After
running, she returned home to shower. She then drove to a high-end café for breakfast, visited a
bookstore, went shopping, and bought some makeup.
At noon, she bought many things for Winnie and then drove home.
Jennifer decided not to think about Jonathan anymore. She was going to live her life to the fullest on
her own. Although it was not easy, she would work toward this goal.
She was not going to give up on herself.
At night, Jennifer dressed up beautifully and elegantly. She reported to work at the horror-themed bar
as usual and performed her duties as general manager.
Jonathan was relieved after hearing from some other people that Jennifer seemed normal.
At the end of October, it truly felt like autumn as everyone in the streets of Jipsdale was wearing coats.
In the Young residence, Leonardo, dressed in white, still looked cold and beautiful.
It had been three months since Jonathan defeated him. During this time, Leonardo did not try to
provoke Jonathan. It was not because he was afraid of Jonathan.
The main reason was that Leonardo did not have any news of Bianca.
He had been feeling depressed ever since he could not find her. Nothing interested him. Hence,
causing trouble for Jonathan was the least of his priorities.
In fact, he also did not have much oversight of the Young family’s business and left it to its own
devices.
It was eight in the evening in the attic where Bianca used to live.
There was a warm and gentle light. Leonardo sat on Bianca’s bed and held the comb she used in his
hand.
He closed his eyes and breathed in the smell of the room. The room still had lingering traces of her
fragrance.
He took it all in, and his face looked intoxicated.
It was only during this time that he felt that life was bearable.
However, Wallace’s voice rang out from outside the attic at that very moment.
“Young Master!”
Anger instantly flashed in Leonardo’s eyes as he was interrupted. However, he quickly suppressed his
anger because Wallace watched him grow up.
He took a deep breath, put down the comb, and responded, “Mr. Moralez, what’s wrong?”
Wallace replied respectfully, “Young Master, we have just received news that Master Sullivan has
arrived in Jipsdale. He is now staying at Jipsdale Hotel.”
“What?” Leonardo was shocked. “Why did Master Sullivan suddenly come?” Leonardo quickly walked
out of the attic and came face-to-face with Wallace.
