Built His Empire Then Watched It Burn When He Cheated novel Chapter 675

Anneliese closed the fridge and walked back out. "Let's just order takeout."

She was about to look for her phone when the doorbell rang.

Jessica hugged the pillow tighter without thinking. She saw Anneliese already walking to the door to open it, so she raised her voice.

"Who is it?"

Her voice sounded a little tight.

She had always been afraid the Johnson family would find her. She had been very careful about making friends. Other than Anneliese, she never brought anyone home.

Because of that, there were usually no visitors here. Aside from Anneliese, only Zane had come by a few times before.

Anneliese paused with her hand on the doorknob and turned to look at Jessica.

Once she understood where the tension came from, she frowned slightly.

There was no video doorbell at home, so they couldn't see who was outside.

Can it be that scumbag Zane, who had disappeared for days, is back now?

Anneliese was about to look through the peephole when Jessica relaxed again. She waved her hand like she didn't care.

"Just open it. It doesn't matter."

Even if it really was Zane, everything was already settled. Nothing could change anymore.

Anneliese checked Jessica's expression and saw that she looked fine. She didn't say anything else and opened the door.

A man stood outside in a dark gray suit. His posture was straight, and even the narrow, dim hallway couldn't hide his calm, confident presence.

It wasn't Zane. It was Jonathan.

Anneliese was surprised. "Why are you here?"

Jonathan lifted his arms a little. Only then did Anneliese see that he was holding takeout bags in both hands. The smell of food drifted toward her as he moved.

"Feeding a runaway wild cat," the man said. His voice was low, and he raised his brows slightly.

"Ah, you really came at the perfect time."

Anneliese reacted right away. She took the bag from his right hand and hooked her arm around his. She dragged him inside.

Jonathan must have guessed that Jessica didn't have much food at home, so he came over at just the right time with food.

Anneliese felt touched. She stood on her toes and kissed his lips.

She turned her head and realized Jessica was still sitting on the couch watching them. Meatloaf had been excited when he saw Jonathan and had wagged his tail as he was about to come over. When he saw Anneliese hugging Jonathan and kissing him, Meatloaf looked like he couldn't stand watching. He turned around and lay back down by the couch.

Anneliese held back the heat creeping up her ears and lifted her chin toward Jessica.
