Chapter 44
“Then do you think she’ll be willing to stay with me?” Jonathan asked. Carlos was a little surprised. “Does Mr. Youngblood want Ms. Leighton to stay with you?” After all, he thought the game was supposed to end once. Jonathan told Rosalie his real identity.
“Or could it possibly be that Mr. Youngblood had developed some feelings toward Ms. Leighton?” wondered Carlos.
With that thought in mind, Carlos‘ eyes widened gradually. “Mr. Youngblood, you…” Carlos opened his mouth to say something, yet he was stuck in the middle of his sentence.
“What do you want to say? Just spit it out!” Jonathan ordered.
“Mr. Youngblood, are you in love with Ms. Leighton?” said Carlos as he thought, “That’s why Mr. Youngblood has been so keen on this game. That’s why he did so many things for Ms. Leighton secretly. It explains why he still wanted Ms. Leighton’s company after the game ends.”
Meanwhile, Jonathan’s expression gradually froze.
“Fall in love? How is that possible? How would I fall in love with a woman? Isn’t Father a good enough example? Never fall in love with anyone. That way, I won’t have my pride trampled over,” thought Jonathan.
At most, Jonathan would admit he liked Rosalie’s company. Her warmth and breath made him feel at ease and relaxed.
“Don’t say that again,” Jonathan said coldly.
Stunned, Carlos quickly answered, “Okay.”
Under the mesmerizing lights, Alan looked at Jonathan, who was sitting on the sofa lazily with curiosity. After all, Jonathan had never liked attending those sorts of gatherings in their circle. Yet, he made an exception that day.
“Why did you come?” Alan asked as he leaned over.
Alan and Jonathan were playmates in their childhood. They were also classmates in junior and senior high school. Thus, he naturally knew that his good friend had always preferred being quiet to bustling gatherings. “I just did. Do I need any special reasons? Didn’t you guys often call me here?” Jonathan replied.
Even after hearing that, Alan still felt something was off.
At that moment, a woman in gorgeous makeup and bright clothes walked forward and hit on Jonathan.
Alan thought his friend would definitely refuse, but Jonathan actually let that woman sit next to him.
Alan’s eyes almost popped out. “Isn’t Jonathan not interested in women? Why did he let a woman get close to him today? He’s changed?” Alan thought.
At the same time, Alan stepped back sensibly and walked to the side. He then looked at the man playing with a silver bracelet on the couch and said, “Do you think Jonathan actually developed feelings?“–
The man raised his eyes slightly and glanced at Alan. “You can ask him yourself.”
Alan rubbed his nose without a word as he didn’t dare to ask.
“By the way, aren’t you worried that people would make fun of you for bringing that silver bracelet everywhere, seeing you’re a man?” said Alan while he reached out to take the silver bracelet in the man’s hand.
The man, Calvin Gunner, moved his wrist and avoided Alan’s hand. His eyes darkened as he said, “Don’t touch it.”
Alan looked at the man in front of him. If one were to describe Jonathan as cold with a hint of laziness, then Calvin would be cold and indifferent. With tan skin, a straight nose, and long lashes covering his eyes, Calvin gave off a vague distant aura. It felt as though nothing could get to him. However, unlike Jonathan, who had only one fiancée, Melanie, in his life, Calvin had changed his girlfriend many times. Yet, none of them seemed to ever really occupy his heart.
Sometimes Alan and their friends would bet whether Calvin’s new
girlfriend could end Calvin’s single life, but they always lost those bets.
Calvin was the kind who seemed like a gentleman, but in reality, he was cold–hearted.
“Yes, yes. I know. This bracelet can’t be touched.” Alan was not surprised. After all, everyone who had been with Calvin for a long time knew that Calvin treasured that silver bracelet and never allowed others to touch it.
At that moment, a figure came over. Alan looked and saw that it was Calvin’s latest girlfriend, Rainie Zimmerman, who was also a new star in the entertainment industry. She had been popular recently and had a lot

of good resources.
Of course, it was all because of Calvin.
As a big shot in the entertainment industry, Calvin had the largest entertainment company in the country. Thus, it was a piece of cake for him to make someone a star.
Calvin spoiled every one of his girlfriends. However, he was also ruthless when he was done with them.
“Calvin, sorry I’m late,” Rainie said softly. At the same time, a complicated look flashed over her face when she caught a glimpse of the bracelet in Calvin’s hand.
Undeniably, Calvin spoiled Rainie very much now. Even if she wanted jewelry costing millions of dollars, he would say, “Just buy it if you like it.” Still, that silver bracelet was taboo.
Calvin didn’t even allow Rainie to touch it.
One time, Rainie was determined to touch it. Seeing that, Calvin stared at her coldly and said, “Believe it or not, you will not have your hands anymore if you dare to touch it.”
At that moment, Calvin’s eyes were full of ruthlessness.
Rainie was so scared that she didn’t dare to touch the bracelet.
Although Calvin still spoiled Rainie as usual afterward, she knew very well that she could never compare to that bracelet.
What exactly did that silver bracelet represent? It was also small, like the size of a child’s wrist.
“It’s okay,” Calvin replied indifferently and put away the bracelet.
After Rainie sat down, she was stunned to see Jonathan not far away. “That’s… Jonathan Youngblood. Mr. Youngblood, right?” She had only seen Jonathan once from a distance before, so she was not sure.
Especially at that moment when Rainie saw Jonathan being intimate with a woman. “Don’t they all say Mr. Youngblood is cold to women?” she thought.
“Yes, it’s Jonathan.” Alan smiled and said to Calvin, “Let’s make a bet on whether Jonathan will leave with that woman later. How’s that?”
“No need,” Calvin replied.
“Why?”
Calvin didn’t say anything but looked in Jonathan’s direction.

With that, Alan turned his head again and found that Jonathan had already pulled away from the woman. The woman seemed to try to get closer again, but Jonathan seemed to say something, and the woman didn’t dare to approach him anymore.
Then, Alan saw Jonathan leave.
Outside the club, Carlos watched Jonathan walk out and immediately greeted him respectfully, “Mr. Youngblood.”
“Let’s go.” Jonathan got in the car.
“Am I trying to prove something by coming here today? Yet, the final result proved I’m not okay with any woman approaching me,” thought Jonathan.
When Jonathan recalled how he hugged the woman who hit on him
earlier and smelled her perfume, all he could think of was the smell of soap on another woman.
