The Invisible Wife Turned Savage novel Chapter 211

Chapter 211 A Different Kind of Care

Jonathan carefully rinsed the fork with steaming hot water before placing it gently on Estella’s plate. The simple gesture was so thoughtful that it made her heart flutter quietly.

As she watched him, Estella’s mind wandered back to the day they first met. From that moment on, Jonathan had always treated her with unwavering respect and kindness, never once making her feel anything less than valued.

She recalled a saying she once heard: when being with someone feels effortless and natural, it’s because that person possesses a deep emotional intelligence, someone who meets you exactly where you are, without judgment or pressure.

And then she realized something else—Jonathan had never once looked at her with those crude, lustful eyes that so many others had. Not even a single time.

How could any other man possibly compare to him?

Jonathan’s refined manners and genuine grace seemed to be ingrained in his very being, as if they were part of his DNA.

Halfway through their dinner, Jonathan reached into his pocket and pulled out a photograph for her. It was a signed autograph from Eileen, her idol.

Estella’s face lit up with genuine excitement and gratitude. “Thank you for helping me chase after my dream,” she said softly, her voice filled with emotion.

Jonathan smiled faintly, then handed over a second gift.

Curious, Estella unwrapped it to find a delicate music box. Sitting atop it was a charming little figurine of Michael, the hero from “Treasure Hunt,” a story she had once confessed to loving deeply. She hadn’t expected him to remember such a small detail.

Yet Jonathan always remembered the tiniest things that mattered to her.

With a warm smile, he said, “I hope this music box will be a companion for you, something that encourages you as you pursue your dreams and become the person you want to be.”

Estella looked at him, a flicker of surprise in her eyes.

“Don’t you like it?” Jonathan asked gently.

Shaking her head, Estella’s voice trembled slightly with sincerity. “You know, because of my appearance, I’ve had many people chasing after me. But I understand the truth—they only want my body. Even when they say they want to marry me, it’s just to keep me as a beautiful decoration. They never care about what I think, don’t support my dreams, and don’t listen to what I say… Only you truly care about what I like. Only you want me to follow my dreams.”

Jonathan chuckled softly before responding, “Estella, I admire how fiercely you chase your dreams. I want you to keep growing and to always find happiness in what you do.”

She sighed, a mixture of envy and admiration swirling in her chest. “I don’t know if I should be jealous or just wish I had what you have. Your family must be incredible—loving and respectful.”

That, she thought, must be the reason Jonathan had become such a gentleman: elegant, respectful, and someone who nurtured the hopes of others.

Jonathan’s voice softened with warmth. “My family is good to me, yes. But when I first told them I wanted to be a lawyer, they weren’t entirely supportive. Still, they chose to stand by me. Over the years, while I chased my dream, they were quietly there behind me.”

He looked at her with earnest eyes. “From my career and my work, I’ve found so much fulfillment and joy. I want you to experience that too.”

Unexpectedly, tears welled up in Estella’s eyes. She whispered, “Thank you.”

Jonathan never boxed her in because she was a woman. He never dictated what she should or shouldn’t do. Instead, he encouraged her to pursue her dreams and her career with passion.

He truly was unlike anyone she had ever known.

Later, they walked home side by side, their footsteps echoing softly on the quiet streets.

Jonathan asked, “Tomorrow, I’m planning to visit my new apartment to pick up some things. Would you like to come with me?”

“Of course!” Estella replied eagerly, without hesitation.

The following day, they arrived at Jonathan’s freshly purchased apartment. Estella’s eyes sparkled as she bought a collection of adorable plush toys, carefully arranging them on the sofa.

After stepping back, she asked, “Do you think it’s too childish?”

Jonathan emerged from the kitchen carrying a plate of fruit, glanced at the toys, and smiled warmly. “Not at all. They’re really cute.”

Estella felt a rush of happiness. No matter what she did, Jonathan always seemed to affirm her choices.

As she nibbled on the fruit, her gaze fell on a swimming pass lying on the table. Curious, she asked, “What’s this?”

Jonathan explained, “It’s from the property management. The complex has a heated swimming pool.”

Her eyes lit up with excitement. “Why don’t we go together?”

Since she’d started having midnight snacks with Jonathan, she’d noticed a few extra pounds creeping on. Now seemed like the perfect time to burn some calories.

A smile spread across Jonathan’s face as he nodded in agreement. The promise of shared moments and quiet support filled the room with warmth.
