The Ex-Wife's Secret (Jonathan and Teresa) novel Chapter 708

“A friendly relationship?” Katrina immediately turned to Irene, her eyes flashing with suspicion. “Didn’t you say Jonathan was equally fond of Yalena?”

Irene turned to Jonathan with an ingratiating smile and said, “Jonathan, Eason and Katrina have always held you in such high regard, and Yalena adores you. She’s such a wonderful girl, isn’t she?”

Jonathan’s brow furrowed as he stated deliberately, “This engagement won’t work.”

The Kelly family froze in stunned silence.

Irene quickly stepped in to ease tensions, “Yalena said she doesn’t mind your past marriage. Everyone has a history, right?” Shel then turned to the Eason and asked, “Don’t you agree?”

Eason pursed his lips and said, “Mr. Lynn, I trust your integrity. If you worry our family judges your past, don’t. Katrina and I believe that as long as you and Yalena care for each other, nothing else matters.”

Jonathan raised an eyebrow with resignation. “Mr. Kelly, I’m sorry, but I cannot accept this engagement. Ms. Kelly is just a friend, no romance. Besides, I already have a three–year–old son.”

“No, that’s not it,” Irene hastily explained, her voice strained with panic. “I had no idea about any of this. I didn’t even know I had a grandson. If…”

The Kellys, clearly out of patience, cut Irene off mid–sentence.

“Let’s call off this engagement. Since Mr. Lynn already has a child and doesn’t care for Yalena, we won’t let our daughter marry into a family where she’d be miserable,” Katrina added.

“But my subordinate called to confirm Teresa’s flight to Londinov took off on schedule. She didn’t change her ticket or ask for a refund. I was sure she’d already left with Mike.
