Chapter 948
Axel pocketed his cigarette. He got up in one swift move and scooped up a bowl in his hand.
He took a sip of the soup and smacked his lips together loudly. “Pfft,
it’s too bland.”
Julien glared at him. He was this close to flipping the coffee table.
Winston was such a powerful man. His children were all outstanding in their own ways. But had there
been some genetic mutation with Axel? Why was he the devil incarnate?
Axel yawned and left the study, leaving Jonah and Julien alone in the
room.
The atmosphere quietened down instantly. A slight tension lingered in
the air.
Jonah didn’t lift his head to look at Julien. He paid absolutely no attention to the pretty man who was
with him.
Julien, who was usually a Don Juan, soon became flustered in the
face of such callousness.
He could read many people, but he was unable to tell what Jonah was thinking. Was Jonah playing
hard to get? Or was he no longer
interested in him after that night?
In recent years, Jonah’s eyesight had deteriorated due to over- exerting himself. He would put on

out.
But when he was at home, he wore a pair of silver-framed glasses
whenever he had to review documents or read.

Right then, Jonah was sitting upright. He retrieved his glasses from their case. His long lashes drooped
downward as he put his glasses on slowly.
He had been born with sharp facial features in the first place. This pair of glasses was befitting of his
gentlemanly elegance.
They made him look like a noble man from a wealthy family in the olden days who had just come home
from studying abroad.
Julien’s breath was shallow. His heart was beating fast and hard. He gulped, feeling that his throat had
gone dry.
He couldn’t help but walk toward Jonah.
Jonah was concentrating on his work when he suddenly felt his chair being turned around. His eyes
met Julien’s.
Julien’s hands were pressing on the edge of the table. He bent his tall body down toward Jonah,
closing in on him with his chest.
Jonah turned his handsome face upward. “What are you trying to do, Mr. Lovelace?” he asked while
looking at Julien with a deep gaze.
“Jonah, has anyone ever mentioned to you that the way you look with glasses is so damn
mesmerizing?”
The corner of his eyes became slightly red, and he became brazen. He lifted his left leg, landed his
bent knee on Jonah’s thigh, and gave it a gentle rub.
Jonah’s brows pulled together slightly as he took a deep breath.
As much as he tried to hold himself back, he found his gaze traveling slowly downward. His eyes
became fixed on the sight that was
revealed under Julien’s blue silk shirt.
Julien had a fair chest and an alluring, protruding collarbone that drew him in like a magnet.

That night, when their lips had interlocked, he had ripped Julien’s top to pieces. He had pulled him in
from the waist and kissed his lips. wildly, exploring from his neck to his collarbone…
He had been completely wasted, but he could recall that he had been very captivated by Julien’s
collarbone.
It was because the same spot had been a secret enjoyment that only
he and his lover knew about.
They had done it countless times.
“Why are you ignoring me, Jonah?”
Julien wrapped his arms around Jonah’s neck. The expression on his feminine and pretty face was
coupled with an affectionate look in his

He truly looked more charming and attractive than a woman.
“You wrapped your arms around me and couldn’t stop kissing me when you’d had too much to drink.
Now that you are sober, are you just going to turn your back on me? Are all the men in the Taylor family
so heartless?”
“Get off of me,” Jonah said, enunciating each word firmly through his moist lips.
At this moment, he was feeling restless. The memory of that night made him even more agitated. He
had also lost the patience that he
had for Julien.
Julien was more used to Jonah being warm. When Jonah became so frigid all of a sudden, a bout of
anger rose within him. It made him tighten his arms around Jonah.
“You hypocrite, Jonah. You domineered over me that night. How can
you treat me like this now?”

“I’m going to count to three.”
“One, two, three. And then?” Julien counted for him instead. His eyes turned red from anger.
Jonah took in one deep breath as he closed his eyes. All of a sudden, he gave Julien one hard push.
“Fuck!”
Fortunately, Julien had quick reflexes. He retreated from Jonah in
time, but still ended up losing his balance from the force.
