Built His Empire Then Watched It Burn When He Cheated novel Chapter 680

"It understood me!"

Jonathan looked at the dog. Meatloaf saw the mistress was on its side, flicked its head proudly, then retreated.

Jonathan wiped Anneliese's face with a tissue, then checked his watch.

"It's been nearly forty minutes. Jessica must be asleep. If you go up, you might wake her. Should I bring you over in the morning?"

Anneliese remembered how drowsy Jessica looked, yawning as she lay down. She is likely asleep.

She hesitated, then took out her phone. "I'll message her to see if she's asleep."

What if Jessica is still waiting for me?

She unlocked her phone and saw Jessica had sent a WhatsApp message half an hour ago.

'I know your man distracted you. I'm going to sleep, don't text.'

Anneliese looked amused and exasperated. Jonathan glanced at her. "What's wrong?"

She handed him the phone, squinting. "Are you deliberately staying in the car to flirt with me?"

He shook his head. "I just fell asleep by accident. How was I supposed to know you'd see my car downstairs?"

I can't admit it was on purpose. If she blames and avoids me, it's a disaster.

Seeing his sincerity, Anneliese remembered how hard it was to get his attention through the car window. With half-lidded eyes, he looked almost comical.

If Jonathan could act, he'd be a movie star.

She shook off her thoughts and patted his face.

"Let's go home."

Jonathan smiled, opened the car door, and stepped out. Finally, I can take my wife home. Jessica is thoughtful—a good girl. Zane will regret it.

…

By the time the car entered The Banyans, Anneliese was slumped in the back seat, already asleep.

Jonathan drove slowly. The forty-minute trip stretched to an hour and a half.

When the car stopped, Margot waited in the courtyard with a cashmere blanket. She had been notified.

Woof! I just licked my mistress once, and now the master wants to trap me in the car. How cruel.

Bang! Bang! Bang!
