Chapter 787 - Splitting (1/2)
”Isn't Raka a good guy? But he doesn't like Jenny. I'm not bad either, but I don't love her. There are lots of nice guys out there, but you're the only guy who really loves her. The man who can give her happiness is the man who truly loves her. Everything else is not a problem.”
After saying that, Rudi patted Jonathan on the shoulder. ”It's late already. Let's go home.”
”Where's Jenny?” Jonathan didn't dare to face Jenny again.
”Aiden picked her up. He found out about Jenny's feelings for you. If the Atmajaya Family opposed it, something would definitely happen in the near future,” said Rudi.
What Jonathan didn't expect was that he never saw her again after Jenny confessed her feelings for him.
If Jenny didn't call him first, Jonathan wouldn't call her either.
But the man still remembered that night well.
The night when Jenny confessed her love.
The night when Jenny tried to kiss her on the lips.
The night he held her soft cheek... He remembered everything well.
Her smile kept appearing in his mind. She was like an innocent child, free of any burden...
This week, Jenny was forced to return to the Atmajaya Family's main house and was forbidden to go out.
Bima confiscated her cell phone and forbade her to use it. Every day, she played chess with Bima or painted with Maria.
Aiden left her work to someone else so Jenny didn't have to come to the office.
One week was not a short time for Jenny. It feels so long…
Sunday has arrived. Apart from Nico who was busy filming, all members of the Atmajaya family gathered to have lunch together.
Before lunch, Jenny accompanies Bima to play chess, hoping to please him.
”Grandpa, what's wrong with Jonathan Srijaya? Why doesn't Grandpa like him?” Jenny had been holding this question for a week. When she found out that Aiden and Ivan were coming today, she thought that one of them would help her talk to Bima.
”He's an illegitimate child,” said Bima as he moved his chess pieces.
”What's wrong with an illegitimate child? Aunt Raisa is from the Mahendra Family, but the Mahendra Family has never questioned Uncle Ivan's identity. Why don't you want to acknowledge Jonathan when you actually really like him?” Jenny asked.
”Why do you even compare your uncle with Jonathan?” Bima said angrily.
”What is the difference? You're too picky, grandpa. You're okay with uncle Ivan being an illegitimate child just because he's your son. But if someone else were to share the same identity, you suddenly can't accept it,” Jenny retorted angrily.
”Darn you. After enduring for so many days, you're still defending him,” Bima laughed. ”I don't have a bad feeling about him though.”
”Then why can't you accept him? Jonathan took over the Srijaya Group on his own terms. In just a short time, he was able to raise his company to this point. I'm not bad either. I am patient and understanding. And most importantly, I feel comfortable with him. I love him,” Jenny said everything she wanted to say.
”Do you like him?” Bima put down his pawn and said happily, ”Checkmate! You lose.”
”Who said I lost? I can still move!” Jenny advanced her horse pawn.
Bima looked at her with a smile. ”You're free to make a move on me. Look again. I told you it's a checkmate!”
”Grandpa! You cheated! You deliberately invited me to talk so I wouldn't focus. It doesn't count!” Jenny rearranged her pieces in annoyance. ”Let's play one more time.”
