Cold Husband Burning Regret: The Divorce He Couldn't Handle novel Chapter 705

Jonathan caught her just in time, following her gaze. After looking at Charlotte, who had already looked away, he understood Genevieve's reaction. There was no pity in his eyes. Although he helped her up with a gentle surface demeanor, he said in a voice only she could hear, cold as ice, "Now you know fear?"

Genevieve's hand trembled uncontrollably. She didn't dare answer.

Ilse was the first to notice something was wrong. She hurried over to help Genevieve, but just as Genevieve leaned towards her mother, Jonathan reached out, put his arm around her shoulders, and pulled her against him.

To outsiders, it just looked like the couple was deeply affectionate.

"Mother-in-law, since Genevieve is now engaged to me, I am her rightful fiancé. It's only proper that I take care of her when she's unwell." Jonathan's face held a smile, but his eyes seemed poisoned, seething with malice.

Others were too far away, not facing him, so they couldn't see it. But Ilse was closest. She saw Jonathan's malice immediately.

Only then did she realize Jonathan wasn't letting go of that woman's death. He was doing it on purpose.

Deliberately getting back at her daughter!

Before she could speak, Jensen walked over and pulled her aside, saying, "It's the children's happy day. Why are you fussing?"

"But——"

"Jonathan, Genevieve hasn't fully recovered yet. Although the engagement banquet isn't as complicated as a wedding, I'll still have to ask you to take extra care of her." Jensen barely left Ilse an opportunity to speak before instructing Jonathan.

Jonathan smiled and nodded. "Don't worry, Father-in-law. I will take good care of Genevieve."

Ilse stood there stunned, a terrible, inexplicable feeling of dread creeping over her.
