Chapter 14 Falling Down
Chapter 14 Falling Down
Jonathan came out of the study and walked straight to the living room. When he was about to enter in,
he suddenly stopped.
In the living room, a figure stood against the light. He could see her profile.
She stooped slightly, and the white gauze dress was exposed to the light. The exquisite curve of her
body could be vaguely seen.
Angelia's gloved hands were touching the cage cup in front of her eyes, unable to let go.
Her cheeks were flushed and her eyes were also slightly glowing. All of her energy was dedicated to
the cup.
Jonathan was the first time to see the side of her.
He stopped and stared at the person standing at the intersection of light and shadow.
“Do you like this?” He burst into conversation.
Angelia was scared and turned her head like a frightened rabbit.
She got back in restraint as soon as she saw Jonathan.
“Mr. Miller...”
Angelia moved her eyes in panic, but she didn't dare to look at Jonathan.
Just now, she was still abandoning herself in appreciating the cage cup and was as happy as a fish in
water. But when he walked in, the delighted look on her face as if had been broken in an instant. The Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
atmosphere of the whole room condensed in an instant.
Jonathan frowned. He suddenly became more upset.
He raised his feet and walked in. The closer he got, the more nervous Angelia felt.
“Are you afraid of me?”
Angelia shook her head.
Jonathan's eyes narrowed slightly, and came directly to her. They were so close that he could feel
Angelia's lashes shaking because of tension.
He held up Angelia's face with his hands.
“Do you like antiques?”
Angelia's eyes followed his hands.
‘Will such a small interest be deprived?’
She closed her eyes and her fingers tightened her skirt.
“I want to be an antiques restorer... “
‘After hearing my words…What will he do?’
Taunt? Or stop me?
Angelia tightened her body and waited for his order.
Jonathan calmed down. After a while, he took his hand back.
“OK.”
He snorted, but he didn't say anything more. He just turned around and left.
Angelia waited for a while. When saw him leave, she had a long sigh of relief.
She thought he would not allow her to touch these priceless antiques. After all, if they were damaged,
the price would be greatly reduced. But Jonathan didn’t seem to express this meaning…
Although Angelia looked at the cage cup in her hand, her mind had flown to Jonathan's face.
‘Does he permit me to touch these things?’
Angelia thought about it. She finally left the living room. Just after she came out, the carved decoration
on the stair handrail attracted her eyes instantly.
The wooden stairs spiraled up. The railings of them were made of ebony wood. Every other section,
there were patterns of ancient animal heads carved, which seemed to be playing, serious, ancient and
mysterious.
There were more than a dozen of such animal heads, and they extended to the upwards.
Angelia remembered that she had heard of the ancient and mysterious carving technology.
She raised her foot and went up, observing one by one. She went upstairs, totally immersing in her
own world.
“Claudia!”
Angelia heard the cry, but she didn't respond at once. After a while, she finally remembered that she
had become Claudia, so she quickly turned back.
“What… Ah!”
She suddenly missed her footing.
Before she could see who was calling her, she tilts back!
She had been close to the second floor unconsciously when she was appreciating the carving. And she
directly fell down from the height of two meters!
Under the stairs, Jonathan's pupil shrank. She rushed to her quickly!
