Chapter 146 Bianca Takes Action
- Although Jonathan was touched, he still adhered to his values and principles.
- He had a sense of clarity to differentiate what was right and what was wrong. He then began to speak. “Jen, I know you've been hurt by your ex-husband, Wesley, before this. I also know you're a proud woman. In my heart, you'll always be a princess. I've been trying to run away from the fact that I'm not the person you thought to be. You say you'll wait for me, but I honestly don't know how much time you'll spend waiting. Probably, you'll end up waiting ten years, or I would perish at the coming of the Great Tribulation. If I make a promise to you, I'm afraid you'll suffer an endless pain throughout your life.”
- Jonathan paused briefly before continuing, “Also, I went to the Harrington residence with Mabel yesterday. To solve this issue at hand, I need the help of the Harrington family. Old Mr. Harrington agreed to help but on one condition. That is for me to marry his granddaughter, Catherine Harrington. I didn't agree to that on the spot, but I plan to accept his offer. Before I agree to it, I would like to say something to you out of respect. Regardless of whether or not I love Catherine, the marriage will be considered official. That means I have to remain loyal to her alone, so you waiting for me would be a fruitless endeavor. Before this, I didn't agree to marry you because I didn't want to be tied down by the chains of marriage, and I didn't want to spend the rest of my life with just one person. But now, it has become a non-negotiable condition. Since I've agreed to that condition, I must then fulfill my role as a man to preserve the sanctity of this marriage.”
