---- Chapter 160 As Tara hugged Jonah, she felt safe. He silently pulled her into his embrace and said, "It's cold out here. Let's get into the car." Suddenly, the courage Tara had a moment earlier was gone in an instant. Her ears started to turn red as he escorted her to the passenger seat. She felt too embarrassed to look at him. After Jonah got in the driver's seat, he pulled her into his embrace and held her slender hands. Tt felt warm in the car, and there was love in the air.

She didn't know what to say at all. He kissed her on the cheek and gulped before saying , " Since it's a special day today, I want to spend it with you." She answered with a gentle hum, feeling nervous and shy. Then, he said with a smile, "Is there something you would like to tell me?" "J... I'll go out with you," she said, too embarrassed to look him in the eyes. Right after she said that, she could hear him chuckling softly. His voice sounded more alluring while they were in the car.

Suddenly ,, her vision was blocked as Jonah kissed her on ---- the lips. As his slender fingers gently caressed her ears and neck, his tongue went past her lips. She moaned gently, and her body went soft when their tongues met. The kissing noises lasted for a long while in the car, and when Jonah finally let her go, she leaned against him shyly. It seemed as if he found her adorable as he suddenly chuckled and hugged her tighter.

Tara didn't want their relationship to be known to the public , so Jonah went along with her wishes . He would announce it to the world when she felt like it. During the first month of their relationship , Tara moved into a huge house that Jonah had bought for her. The apartment she lived in previously was old, and the road outside would flood all the time. So, he couldn't stop worrying about her when she lived there. Jonah didn't move in with her.

Even though they kissed a lot and did it passionately, he never did any other intimate things with her. She could see him frowning sometimes, trying to hold back his urges. Then, he comforted her in his attractive voice, "We can only get more intimate after we get married. I need to be responsible for you." She looked at him with a touched gaze and hugged him tightly. Jonah chuckled and said, "If you do that, I'm going to lose control." ---- Despite hearing that, Tara still wouldn't let him go.

So, he kissed her forehead and said softly, "I want to swallow you whole so badly." She embarrassedly hit his arm and leaned against his chest. Her breath was as rapid as his heartbeat, and they were incredibly close. After a few days, Jonah brought her back to the Pearson Manor, where his parents lived. There were animals like cows and horses, and they could all wander around the huge field. The cats and dogs that lived there were well- fed as well.

Jonah's parents personally cooked up a feast to welcome Tara, and his grandparents kept looking at her with a loving gaze. Tara was a sensitive person, but she didn't feel any judgmental or arrogant gazes from them. Due to that, she felt relaxed. Meanwhile, Jonah kept calming her down as well, and he helped her grab the food nonstop. Seeing how calm he was, she felt at ease as well. Jonah's parents kept chuckling to themselves , and they didn't dare to look at Jonah and Tara.

They didn't want Tara to feel uneasy. Suddenly, Jonah's grandfather , Richard Pearson, nodded and complimented Jonah. "You did well, Jonah." ---- After that, Jonah and Richard spoke about Pearson Group, which took their attention away from Tara. When they were done with their meal, Jonah was called to the study room by his father, Tony Pearson. Tara was in the living room, and Jonah's grandparents quietly walked away as they didn't want her to feel stressed.

Suddenly, Jonah's mother, Bianca Reid, took out a check and placed it in front of Tara. When Tara saw the amount written on it, she was stunned. Bianca couldn't look away from Tara at all, thinking how gorgeous the latter looked. Then, she said with a smile, " This one-billion -dollar check is for you. Think of it as a welcome gift from us." Hearing that, Tara's eyes widened in shock. "A-A billion dollars... for a welcome gift?" Still smiling, Bianca nodded.

"We hope you and Jonah can continue this relationship forever and get married. He has always been independent since he was young, and he can be really opinionated. So, he might overlook some details when taking care of you. If you feel aggrieved, just let us know. We'll punish him for you. "That way, your relationship will stay intact." ---- Tara hurriedly waved her hands. "Mrs. Pearson , Jonah treats me really well. Also, I can't take this money." Bainca told her the money wasn'ta big deal.

"We just hope you won't give up on him. He's never taken a liking to anyone for as long as we've known him. So, we gave up on him, thinking that he would never be in a relationship. After all, he works all the time. If he isn't at work, then he would be on his way to work." Tara agreed with what Bianca said. However , ever since they started dating, he stopped being such a workaholic. Instead, he spent a lot of time on Tara. "Mrs.

Pearson, I really like him as well, so I can't take this money." "You have to accept our welcome gift. After you two get married, feel free to choose all the places you want to live. We love cats, dogs, and all kinds of animals, but we won't disturb you. If Jonah does something wrong, just let us know," said Bianca. Tara hurriedly said, "It's fine, really. I can stay anywhere. Bianca explained, "It's alright for a guy to go with the flow.

However, as women, we have to stay somewhere we truly like. Of course, we're not forcing you to get married. Instead, we just want you to know that you're like a ---- daughter-in-law to us now, so don't be a stranger. "There aren't any rules here either, so you can relax while dating him." Tara nodded. "Thank you, Mrs. Pearson." Bianca held Tara's hands. The more she looked at Tara, the more she liked her. She thought that Jonah had great taste.

Meanwhile, Jonah was sitting on a couch in the study room upstairs. His legs were crossed, and he looked elegant. Richard asked solemnly, "When are you planning to get married?" Jonah calmly spun the pen in his hand and said, "Don't put too much pressure on her, or you'll scare her. I'll let you know when I'm planning to propose." "Alright. Remember to treat her well, and don't just focus on your work all the time.

No lady will like it when her spouse is always at work and never at home," Richard reminded. "Don't worry. I've already spent a lot of time with her," Jonah answered in his deep voice. Hearing that, Richard finally nodded in satisfaction. " Since you're together now, you have to respect her and ---- not be controlling . Otherwise , your relationship will be affected badly." Jonah nodded. "I know, Dad." Richard wasn't too worried about Jonah. Instead, he just hoped Tara wouldn't dislike how nonchalant Jonah was all the time, and how Jonah was a workaholic.
