I Am Unstoppable

Chapter 168

Entertainment was rare in the Harrington mansion.

They did not even own a television or computer, for Yareth mostly read newspapers. Meanwhile, all Catherine did was cultivate repeatedly. Sometimes, she would drive off by herself to a faraway place for a walk or have a drink at the bar.

However, she didn't require any friends.

Jonathan did not feel unaccustomed to the lifestyle. He was capable of enjoying life to the fullest or practicing abstinence.

Although Yareth mentioned that he would help Jonathan improve, he did not promise to start immediately.

Thus, Jonathan did not try to urge the elder as he believed that Yareth had his plans.

He started cultivating at their study after that.

Practicing the Ultra Sun Moon Mantra might not have any significant improvements, but it followed nature's cycles and absorbed the true essence of the world. The mantra was a great way to take care of one's health and vitality.

If something were wrong with a person's body, it was easy to identify the problem and rectify things with the Ultra Sun Moon Mantra.

That was how powerful the practitioners who cultivated Destino Art were.

They had bodies that never fell ill or age.

After all, they took great care of themselves physically.

On another note, time flew by, and it was five in the afternoon.

Dinner was at six in the evening, and the venue was still Jipsdale's Pearl Hotel.

Jonathan drove Catherine's Ferrari and left the house.

Catherine was indifferent toward most things. She would not even react if he had sold her Ferrari.

The Ferrari was a great car, and Jonathan gradually sped up without realizing it.

It was capable of handling everything, be it brakes or micro-controls.

He finally understood why those who drove Ferrari loved speeding.

As it turned out, they were unable to control themselves!

Jonathan arrived at the hotel at half-past five.

He asked the parking valet to park his car before calling Amber.

Amber mentioned that she would arrive soon. She told Jonathan to head for the private room first and arrange for their food to be served.

Jonathan agreed.

The private room was on the second floor.

They had already ordered the food, so he only had to ask for the dishes to be served.

This private room was known as Yaleview Hall, and it was an extremely luxurious room.

Even their lights were made of crystals and looked extravagantly dazzling.

Jonathan didn't have to wait for long before Amber and the other ladies arrived.

He stood up and greeted them with a smile.

Still, the atmosphere became awkward and slightly uncomfortable.

The situation was just like what the poem described.

This very day last year, at this very door.

Her pretty face outshone the peach blossom.

I don't know where the beauty went.

But, the flowers are still smiling in the vernal breeze.

Yasmin and Amber were the only ones who acted naturally. The latter even jokingly asked, “How does it feel to become a married man?”

Jonathan merely smiled. He was unable to laugh carefreely like how he used to.

Since he got married, he seemed to have become more mature.

This must be how growing up felt like.

Soon, their dinner was served.

Jennifer was the first to raise her glass of Malteer. She stood up and said, “Jonathan, here's to you. Thank you for coming into my life.”

Following that, she downed the whole glass in one go.

Jonathan felt slightly low-spirited as he did fancy Jennifer. However, she was somebody he could never be with.

He also stood up and stated, “Jen, I wish you all the happiness and beauty in life!”

Then, he gulped his drink all at once.

“Will you go back to Horington in the future?” asked Jessica calmly, unable to hide the sadness on her face.

Jonathan replied with a serious expression, “Of course. All of you are in Horington, and that place will forever be my home. I don't feel like I belong in Yaleview.” Entartainmant was rara in tha Harrington mansion.

Thay did not avan own a talavision or computar, for Yarath mostly raad nawspapars. Maanwhila, all Catharina did was cultivata rapaatadly. Somatimas, sha would driva off by harsalf to a faraway placa for a walk or hava a drink at tha bar.

Howavar, sha didn't raquira any friands.

Jonathan did not faal unaccustomad to tha lifastyla. Ha was capabla of anjoying lifa to tha fullast or practicing abstinanca.

Although Yarath mantionad that ha would halp Jonathan improva, ha did not promisa to start immadiataly.

Thus, Jonathan did not try to urga tha aldar as ha baliavad that Yarath had his plans.

Ha startad cultivating at thair study aftar that.

Practicing tha Ultra Sun Moon Mantra might not hava any significant improvamants, but it followad natura's cyclas and absorbad tha trua assanca of tha world. Tha mantra was a graat way to taka cara of ona's haalth and vitality.

If somathing wara wrong with a parson's body, it was aasy to idantify tha problam and ractify things with tha Ultra Sun Moon Mantra.

That was how powarful tha practitionars who cultivatad Dastino Art wara.

Thay had bodias that navar fall ill or aga.

Aftar all, thay took graat cara of thamsalvas physically.

On anothar nota, tima flaw by, and it was fiva in tha aftarnoon.

Dinnar was at six in tha avaning, and tha vanua was still Jipsdala's Paarl Hotal.

Jonathan drova Catharina's Farrari and laft tha housa.

Catharina was indiffarant toward most things. Sha would not avan raact if ha had sold har Farrari.

Tha Farrari was a graat car, and Jonathan gradually spad up without raalizing it.

It was capabla of handling avarything, ba it brakas or micro-controls.

Ha finally undarstood why thosa who drova Farrari lovad spaading.

As it turnad out, thay wara unabla to control thamsalvas!

Jonathan arrivad at tha hotal at half-past fiva.

Ha askad tha parking valat to park his car bafora calling Ambar.

Ambar mantionad that sha would arriva soon. Sha told Jonathan to haad for tha privata room first and

arranga for thair food to ba sarvad.

Jonathan agraad.

Tha privata room was on tha sacond floor.

Thay had alraady ordarad tha food, so ha only had to ask for tha dishas to ba sarvad.

This privata room was known as Yalaviaw Hall, and it was an axtramaly luxurious room.

Evan thair lights wara mada of crystals and lookad axtravagantly dazzling.

Jonathan didn't hava to wait for long bafora Ambar and tha othar ladias arrivad.

Ha stood up and graatad tham with a smila.

Still, tha atmosphara bacama awkward and slightly uncomfortabla.

Tha situation was just lika what tha poam dascribad.

This vary day last yaar, at this vary door.

Har pratty faca outshona tha paach blossom.

I don't know whara tha baauty want.

But, tha flowars ara still smiling in tha varnal braaza.

Yasmin and Ambar wara tha only onas who actad naturally. Tha lattar avan jokingly askad, “How doas it faal to bacoma a marriad man?”

Jonathan maraly smilad. Ha was unabla to laugh carafraaly lika how ha usad to.

Sinca ha got marriad, ha saamad to hava bacoma mora matura.

This must ba how growing up falt lika.

Soon, thair dinnar was sarvad.

Jannifar was tha first to raisa har glass of Maltaar. Sha stood up and said, “Jonathan, hara's to you. Thank you for coming into my lifa.”

Following that, sha downad tha whola glass in ona go.

Jonathan falt slightly low-spiritad as ha did fancy Jannifar. Howavar, sha was somabody ha could navar ba with.

Ha also stood up and statad, “Jan, I wish you all tha happinass and baauty in lifa!”

Than, ha gulpad his drink all at onca.

“Will you go back to Horington in tha futura?” askad Jassica calmly, unabla to hida tha sadnass on har faca.

Jonathan rapliad with a sarious axprassion, “Of coursa. All of you ara in Horington, and that placa will foravar ba my homa. I don't faal lika I balong in Yalaviaw.”

Jessica's expression softened when she heard that, revealing a hint of happiness. “Yasmin and I will always welcome you,” she proclaimed.

Yasmin also got on her feet and uttered, “Jonathan, I wish you all the happiness in life too. Here's a toast to you.”

Jonathan looked at her and suddenly felt that she was his biological younger sister. He said affectionately, “Yasmin, no matter what troubles you have or how unhappy you are in the future, feel free to contact me. Remember, I will forever be your dearest friend.”

Yasmin's eyes grew red-rimmed as she nodded firmly.

After she gave her toast, Amber suddenly spoke up. “I don't plan to return to Horington.”

“Mm?” Jonathan was surprised to hear that.

She continued, “To be honest, I think that I can be closer to Jonathan if I stay in Yaleview.” She paused and turned around to look at the man. “There's nothing left for me in Horington. However, both you and my grandfather are in Yaleview. I might be able to give you a hand, so I'm staying here.”

Jonathan did not know what to say and could only respond by thanking her. “Thank you!”

Amber downed the contents in her glass, and her face turned red.

She stood up and said, “We might fall out of love and grow old. Nonetheless, I believe that our relationship will never change as long as we respect and honor our camaraderie. Here! Let's raise our glasses to that!”

Everybody got to their feet and said in unison, “To our camaraderie! Cheers!”

What they had wasn't a friendship as they were more than friends. However, they were not in a romantic relationship either, as love did not fit their situation.

Hence, Amber said that this was camaraderie, a special bond between them.

She would always remember what Jonathan had done for her, and she wouldn't hesitate to risk her own life for him in the future.

They drank and ate to their heart's content during the dinner.

Everyone was tipsy from the amount of drinks they had.

Subsequently, they went to Mogul Karaoke Bar to sing.

In the large private room where the lights were dim, the ladies looked adorable when they were tipsy. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Jennifer also looked exceptionally sexy. After they entered the private room, she removed her jacket and hair clip.

On the inside, she wore a tight-fitting white wool sweater that outlined her perfect, curvy figure.

The server brought them more red wine, and they started drinking as they sang.

They seemed to have abandoned all restrains as they enjoyed themselves. However, the looming sadness and depression still lingered in their hearts.

Throughout the night, the group kept on singing and dancing.

Meanwhile, Jonathan sat in a corner as he quietly drank his wine and observed them. Evidently, he was sober.

Fate bellowed as it took control of everything.

He felt like he was just a poor insect, unable to escape his fate. He wanted the world to have nothing invincible and nowhere unreachable. However, Jonathan knew that there was nothing he could do.

He had to obey fate and continue his path instead of behaving like the legendary monkey who roared at the sky and refused to admit defeat.

When midnight came, it was almost time to bid their goodbyes.

At that moment, Jennifer suddenly picked a song.

It was “Goodbye My Friend” by Linda Ronstadt.

She grabbed the microphone and swayed to the beat.

Oh, we never know where life will take us.

I know it's just a ride on the wheel.

And we never know when death will shake us, and we wonder how it will feel.

So goodbye my friend.

I know I'll never see you again.

But the time together through all the years will take away these tears.

It's okay now, goodbye my friend.

Jennifer was so deeply immersed in the song that tears rolled down her face uncontrollably.

Everybody was shocked as they looked at her.

At that moment, Jessica and the others finally saw who Jennifer really was. She was still the prideful woman she had always been.

The room was filled with thunderous applause after she finished singing.

Amber handed Jennifer some tissue and apologized sincerely to her.

Jennifer merely smiled faintly and said nothing.

Following that, Jessica also sang a song before they left the place.

It was “Seasons in the Sun” by Terry Jacks.

Goodbye my friend, it's hard to die.

When all the birds are singing in the sky.

Now that spring is in the air.

Pretty girls are everywhere.

Think of me and I'll be there.

We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun.

But the hills that we climbed were just seasons out of time.

In the end, the lyrics still echoed in everyone's ears.

Finally, all good things had to come to an end.

Before they went their separate ways, Jennifer suddenly hugged Jonathan. Taking advantage of her tipsiness, she kissed him on the lips. “I love you,” she said.

Immediately after the kiss, she turned around and fled.

The ladies hurriedly went after her. They were afraid that something would happen to Jennifer as she had had quite a few drinks.

Hence, the farewell dinner ended in tears.

Although they had several drinks, Jonathan wasn't worried that something would happen to them. After all, Louie had been secretly protecting them all along.

It was two in the morning when he returned to the Harrington mansion.

After parking the Ferrari, Jonathan entered the residence.

All the servants and Yareth had already fallen asleep.

Naturally, nobody would check up on him or accuse him of frolicking with women.

That had always been the mentality of those petty citizens.

However, such trivial disputes would not happen when they were at Jonathan's stage.

When he returned to the bedroom, he saw that Catherine had already fallen asleep.

Hence, he made his way carefully into the bathroom and took a shower. After that, he took a blanket and slept beside her.

Jonathan could immediately smell the alluring and youthful scent exuded from Catherine's body.

He couldn't tear his eyes away from her delicately beautiful face.

Her lips were a rosy color and had a seductive glint on them.

At this moment, she looked like a sleeping beauty, waiting for her prince to awaken her with a kiss.

Jonathan suddenly felt the urge to kiss her.

This feeling was not born out of romance or desire. He was only yearning to get closer to beautiful things.

Just then, Catherine abruptly opened her eyes.

Jonathan's eyes immediately met hers.

Feeling embarrassed, he coughed dryly and said, “Did I wake you?”

She looked at him and asked, “Do you want to do it?”

Jonathan was embarrassed in an instant. He always had a weird feeling when he heard her say that.

Hence, he quickly denied, “No, I'm just thinking about how beautiful you look. You will be so charming if you're willing to smile.”

“I don't know how to smile,” she answered indifferently.

A bitter smile tugged on Jonathan's lips as he enunciated, “Forget it then.”

“If you don't want to get it going, I shall go to sleep,” said Catherine.

“All right, sleep,” he replied.

Hearing this, she immediately closed her eyes.

Jonathan was amused. Did I marry a wife with an attitude?

It wasn't difficult for him to know what Catherine was thinking.

She might be emotionless, but she wasn't stupid. She knew what she had to do after getting married. However, Jonathan never took any action. Hence, she felt that he would do it sooner or later.
