---- Chapter 102 Jonathan furrowed his brows and said nothing. Amoment later, Alicia's voice came again. "I know this isn't a good time, but I don't want to be the reason you and Elise keep fighting, Jon. "T already feel bad enough when I'm with Mr. Ford Senior. I don't know what I did wrong, but if it helps you two get back on good terms, I'll suck it up and say sorry to her." Alicia rambled for ages, then mentioned Edward again.

That was when Jonathan finally let go of me and got up to open the door. Her eyes lit up the moment she saw him. "You're finally willing to see me, Jon. I thought you were mad at me." She sounded like she was hurt, but his tone was nonchalant. "What do you want?" Alicia looked stunned, like she was thrown off by how distant Jonathan sounded. She pursed her lips and lowered her head. "I already told you. I came to apologize to Elise.

Are you sick of me too, Jon?" He didn't respond to her question but turned to me. "She ---- wants to say sorry to you." Iclosed my eyes because I didn't even want to look at either of them. "Then what? Am I expected to just take her apology and move on?" Alicia clenched her fists. "I'm only saying this because I can't stand watching you and Jon fight anymore, Elise. I did nothing wrong. I just don't want him caught in the middle." I didn't respond and turned my back on her without a word.

"Is that so? Why apologize if you don't even think you were wrong? I'm not accepting some half-baked apology like that." She balled her fists in frustration , looking at Jonathan helplessly. "I'm sorry. I just wanted you two to stop fighting. I didn't expect her to react like that." Jonathan pinched the bridge of his nose, his voice cold and raspy. "You don't need to say sorry to her.

Just go home." Alicia asked, "Are you kicking me out, Jon?" Jonathan replied, 'Why don't you stay at the Zimmer residence for now? Grandpa is doing fine now, and it's pretty inconvenient for you to be here." ---- Alicia's eyes turned red as she sobbed. "What's the hassle? Am I getting in your way? If I'm being a nuisance, you can tell me straight. Don't use Mr. Ford Senior as an excuse." She choked through her tears, "All I ever wanted was to be here for Mr. Ford Senior, Jon.

I truly thought of you as my own brother. He always told us to care for each other like siblings. I honestly don't know why Elise keeps picking on me." Jonathan's face darkened. After a while, he gently murmured, "Elise isn't doing well right now, so I've got to be there for her during this time." What he really meant was that he didn't have time to deal with Alicia. Unexpectedly, Alicia wiped her tears and added, "It's fine. I don't need you to look after me. I can take care of myself.

I just want to stay close to Mr. Ford Senior. Please don't send me away." The room went dead silent. Jonathan didn't say a word. After what felt like forever, he finally responded in his usual calm demeanor, "I never asked you to leave." Alicia went from sobbing to grinning in a heartbeat. "Do ---- you really mean it? Thank you, Jon. I'll take good care of Mr. Ford Senior." Isnickered. The door shut with a click, and footsteps drew near until they stopped at my back. The air felt heavy.

Just as Jonathan was about to pull me into his arms, I suddenly interrupted, "I've seen enough of you two being all lovey-dovey. Can you just leave me alone for a bit?"
