The slight coldness on her finger distracted her from the distress. June looked down and got surprised. It was dazzling and heavy.

"Jon... Honey, what is this?" June raised her hand in disbelief. Her ordinary slender fingers looked fair and charming with the dazzling diamond ring.

"Wedding ring. I'm wearing one as well. Wear it for the banquet, so others would not get our relationship wrong." After he slipped the ring on her finger, Jonus covered his nose to block himself from the smell of her cheap perfume.

Embarrassed, June felt like crying. She was eaten up by regrets. Why did she put on the perfume? Her nose was getting itchy.

June found that Jonus was more allergic than her. He sneezed, his handsome face turning grim.

June was frightened. She cowered far away from him, motionless. She clutched at her perfumed wrists, trying to lessen the smell.

She had never imagined that she would be so embarrassed that she wished to disappear into thin air. This was the most humiliating moment in her life. Jonas felt upset, but he did not castigate her. He rolled down the car window and put on his sunglasses. Breathing the fresh air, he ignored his young wife.

Trembling with fear along the way, June didn't even dare to breathe. She decided that she would never put on any perfume from now on.

Around one hour later, they arrived, and Jonas was finally able to breathe properly. He took off his sunglasses and pushed the door down. He went to June's side and opened the door for her.

June looked up at him. The grim look on his face was gone. He extended his hand, and June gave him her hand timidly. He grabbed it and said, "I'll take you to wash your hands."

June was taken aback, and she blushed. She didn't dare to resist, and she followed him meekly.

Jonas was obviously familiar with everything here, and he brought June straight into the bathroom. June had thought of washing her hands by herself, but she was awed by his grim face, allowing him to wash her wrist. After her wrists were cleaned, she pointed to her ears and her collarbone, saying, "They are perfumed too."

He had to put her long hair behind her neck, and then wet his fingers with water, wiping the spots gently with a tissue.

June stood there like a log, unable to move at all. However, she took the opportunity to examine Jonas closely. His eyes were beautiful, and there were fine wrinkles, which did not affect his temperament at all, but added charm to his mature face.

Jonas was busy washing away the scent of the perfume for her, and he accidentally looked into her bright eyes. He froze and took a step back. He handed the tissue to her, "Wipe it for yourself."

June was caught, and she blushed. She quickly lowered her head and rubbed herself carelessly, the fair skin around her collarbone turning red.

Jonas frowned.

"Darling, how do you know the way to the bathroom? Where are we? Have you been here before?" After June finished, she asked him curiously.

"This is the Brid's. It's my niece's birthday." Jonas said indifferently.

"Your home? How shall I greet your family?" June's eyes widened in panic. She did not expect Jonas would take her to his niece's birthday party. She was embarrassed, for she came without any gifts.

"I'll give you hints when you should greet. If others greet you, you answer." Jonas smiled at her frightened face.

This was the first time June had seen Jonas's real smile. Previously, his smiles had been mockery, sarcasm and ridicule.

June didn't know how others would greet her until she saw a girl her age running over after they went out of the bathroom. The girl called Jonus Uncle, and pointed at her uncertainly. "Uncle, is this my aunt? She's so young. She can't be younger than me, can she?"

Dumbstruck, June involuntarily hid behind Jonas. Goodness. Jonas's niece was so old, and she called her Aunt. She could not accept it.

Jonas gently reached out and pulled her out, introducing. "This is my niece, Christine. She is the birthday girl."

Christine looked narrowly at June with bright eyes, and she pouted unhappily, "Uncle, you promised me that you wouldn't get married so early. Why do you suddenly bring an aunt back?"

June was shocked. Why did Christine say this? Jonas was quite old. If he didn't get married, did she want him to die alone?

Jonas said indifferently, "I didn't want to get married before. After I met her, I wanted to get married right away."

June felt delighted without reason. She looked at Jonus smilingly. This man was quite protective of her. Christine pursed her lips and turned to leave. She did not seem to like June.

June looked at Jonas uneasily, whispering, "Why doesn't your niece want you to get married so early?"

"Because she wants me to marry one of her best friends." Jonas explained to her casually.

Dumbfounded, June watched Christine walking away. "How old is your niece?"

"Twenty-two years old." Jonas replied.

"She's a year older than me. What's the age difference between you and your elder brother?" June got curious today, and she was eager to know more about Jonas. "More than twenty years. My parents had me in their forties." Jonas said indifferently.

"Where are they?" June was shocked.

"They passed away, and left my elder brother and me behind." Jonas's eyes darkened in sorrow.

"Sorry, I... I didn't mean to bring this

up." June explained nervously. "It's fine. You should know about that." As Jonas spoke, he held her hand. and walked out. A short time

afterwards, they went up to a middle-aged man, who was Jonas's elder brother, Justin. He looked old in late forties. When he saw Jonas, he smiled and walked over. "Jonas, is this your wife? She's beautiful."

June greeted politely, "Hello, Justin."

"Great. I'm relieved that Jonas is married, and would not feel guilty when I see my parents in heaven.", Justin looked at June, getting satisfied. He had been worried about his brother's marriage, and he finally had peace of mind now that his brother had a career and a wife.

"Jonas, is this your wife? She looks so young." A shrewd female voice suddenly came from outside the living room. June turned around and saw a woman in a red dress walking over Radiant and charming, the woman was not old. She looked narrowly at June with hostility in her eyes.

Jonas pulled June back, and he blocked her with his tall figure. He said indifferently, "Hello, Sister-in-law."
