I Am Unstoppable Chapter 90

Chapter 90 Nascent Soul Expert
The horror-themed bar was currently under renovation and construction.
Jonathan was willing to decorate the bar and open it as quickly as possible at any cost. Many of the materials were environmental-friendly and formaldehyde-free.
At the same time, Jennifer had her hands full. Sometimes, she had to travel between places, but it was inconvenient because she didn’t have a car. She would take Jonathan’s AMC Gremlin most of the time, but Jonathan needed it too. Thus, they believed it was time to buy a car.
Jennifer was, of course, embarrassed to suggest it because she hadn’t invested much.
On the other hand, Jonathan had already made up his mind, saying that the car would be used as an asset for the bar. He held a meeting with Jessica and Yasmin, and the two of them had no objections.
Initially, Jessica wanted to suggest there were extra cars in her company. But after giving it some thought, she felt it was better to follow Jonathan’s decision.
As for Polly, her agreement was a given.
Between her and Jonathan, there was no need to be formal.
“Okay, Jen, it’s a deal. You should get a car,” said Jonathan.
Jennifer asked, “Which car do you suggest, and what’s the appropriate pricing?”
Jonathan replied, “We need a good car to match our bar’s image. Probably around one million.”
Jennifer was taken aback. “But the bar has just began operation. There are many aspects where money is needed. Isn’t it a waste to buy a car that is worth one million?”
Jonathan smiled. “It’s not a waste. Sacrifices must be made so that our ambitious dream may come true.”
Jennifer didn’t say much since Jonathan had insisted. She asked again, “Which brand do you recommend?”
Jonathan advised, “You decide. Just don’t buy a Mercedes-Benz.”
Confused, Jennifer asked, “Why not?”
Jonathan rubbed his nose and muttered, “Because it’s used as a taxi in Beshya, Granatano.”
His words made Jennifer speechless.
On the same day, Jennifer bought an Audi A8 for about nine hundred and fifty thousand. The car’s paint job was exquisite, making it look desirable. Jennifer asked Jonathan to take the Audi A8, and she would take the AMC Gremlin.
Jonathan refused. “Jen, you are the boss of the bar. So, you have to drive a good car. I’ll stick to my AMC Gremlin. It’s decided.”
Jennifer couldn’t convince Jonathan, so she obliged.
Judging from the current situation, they should also move to a better home.
However, Jonathan didn’t want to move. Jennifer often suggested renting a better place, but Jonathan wasn’t very enthusiastic about it. He preferred to stay where they were.
Finally, Jennifer smiled and asked, “Jon, you don’t want to be separated from me, is that right? We can rent a house and live together.”
That was true. However, he was too embarrassed to admit it because that was tantamount to cohabitation. He was worried that Jennifer would disagree.
Now that Jennifer had taken the initiative to say so, Jonathan was more than pleased.
“Really?” Jonathan blurted.
Jennifer’s face was as red as a tomato. She said, “Of course, we should rent a bigger house. We will have our respective rooms, so don’t get any funny ideas.”
Jonathan burst into laughter. “Of course, I know that. Well, I’ll start looking for a house.”
Jennifer was all smiles.
Although she thought herself pretty bold to say so, Jennifer was serious about her relationship with Jonathan.
She didn’t give a damn about what other people think. The most important thing was that she was living the life she wanted.
Then, Jonathan went house-hunting in his AMC Gremlin.
He worried that he would not be able to peek at Jennifer in the shower in the future. Now that Jennifer had offered to live together, Jonathan decided to find a house directly and install a secret pinhole camera in the bathroom.
That way, he could continue to be a Peeping Tom! How wonderful!
It was already the middle of July.
Horington was a coastal city. High temperatures were the norm.
Even in winter, it could be as warm as spring.
It was three in the afternoon. Jonathan had gone looking for houses under the scorching sun. Although he had turned on the air conditioner in the car, the heat was unbearable.
He wandered along the streets like a headless chicken before deciding to give Polly a call.
Polly said, “Didn’t I tell you that I have a house for Jennifer?” There was a pause. “Wait, are you planning to move in with her?”
Jonathan smiled and clarified, “We will stay in separate rooms, Polly. Don’t overthink.”
Polly taunted, “I didn’t say anything. I think you are the one who’s overthinking.”
Jonathan laughed. “Well, where is it? I would like to have a look now.”
Polly responded, “I’m busy at the moment. I’ll get Donovan to go with you.”
Jonathan agreed.
Half an hour later, Jonathan met up with Donovan.
Donovan took Jonathan to the unit, which was located on the twelfth floor of a residential building in the city center.
It was equipped with three bedrooms, a dining hall, and a living hall.
The interior design was magnificent. They could move in immediately.
Jonathan was very satisfied, but he found it rather odd. So, he asked, “It’s such a fine unit, but why didn’t Polly move it after it’s been renovated?”
Donovan explained, “Indeed, Ms. McDaniels had lived here at one point, but she moved out because of the noise.”
Jonathan couldn’t believe his luck. “That’s nice. I’ve struck a bargain!”
Donovan smiled.
After that, Donovan handed the key to Jonathan. Jonathan took the key and bade farewell to Donovan.
However, Jonathan didn’t call Jennifer on the spot to tell her the good news.
He needed to install the pinhole camera.
Jonathan racked his mind. He did not know where he could get one. Getting one connected to a computer would be unwise.
If Jennifer discovered the secret when she entered his room to clean, he would be left with eggs on his face.
Jonathan would easily settle this issue if he was abroad.
Jonathan was at a loss, but he didn’t want to give up either because peeking at Jennifer in the shower was his source of happiness in Horington.
Luckily for him, it was not urgent. In the meantime, Jonathan would stay mom about it, since it was normal to spend several days looking for a suitable house.
In a blink of an eye, it was already five in the afternoon. Jonathan was searching for a place to have his dinner when Amber called him.
“Jonathan, would you like to have dinner with us tonight?”
Jonathan laughed. “Haha. I was just thinking about dinner when you called!”
Amber proceeded to taunt him, “Shut up. I’m not the one treating you. My friend is.”
Jonathan was stunned. He asked curiously, “Why does your friend want to invite me to dinner? We don’t know each other.”
Amber went on, “No one knows everybody from the minute they’re born, all right? We make friends along the way!”
Jonathan asked, “Is it a man or a woman?”
Amber teased, “What will you do if it’s a man?”
Jonathan rebutted, “Why would I be interested in a man inviting me to dinner? I’m not gay. I won’t go.”
Amber gritted her teeth. “You’re unbelievable.”
Jonathan snickered. “Is it a woman?”
Amber confirmed, “That’s right.” She paused and went on, “A gorgeous woman, in fact, but you don’t stand a chance. Just take good care of Jennifer.”
Jonathan cackled. He changed his mind. “A gorgeous woman, you say? I’ll be there.”
He was somewhat curious about the woman’s intentions, but he supposed he could give it a go. He would like to see how she looked like. It should be worth his time.
After that, Jonathan set an appointment with Amber.
Just as Jonathan was getting ready to go, Jennifer called, “Jonathan, I bought some food. Are you coming back for dinner?”
Startled, Jonathan asked, “Aren’t you busy today?”
Jennifer answered, “I’ve been so busy lately that I haven’t been able to enjoy a meal with you at home. I’ve set aside work today just to spend time with you. Can you come back soon?”
Jonathan was a skirt-chaser. He was eager to meet the beautiful woman Amber had just mentioned. So, he quickly came up with a lie. “Jen, I would love to, but Amber has something to discuss with me tonight. I’m afraid I can’t make it.” Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
Jennifer was dumbfounded to hear that, but she didn’t think much about it. She understood that Jonathan and Amber often had things to discuss. Jennifer reminded him, “Well, take care. Don’t stay out too late.”
Jonathan said, “Sure.” After a pause, he feigned regret. “It’s such a pity, Jen. I can’t believe I have to miss out on your cooking.”
Jennifer, smitten by his language, blushed unknowingly. “If you want to try my food, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.”
Jonathan could feel Jennifer’s shyness even through the phone.
At six in the evening, Jonathan drove to Coffee Wing, where they had arranged to meet.
The restaurant offered a variety of local and foreign cuisines. It was basically a fusion restaurant.
Guided by a waiter, Jonathan entered the elegant private room Amber had booked for them.
As soon as he stepped in, he saw Amber and her friend.
She was Mabel Sandler, the chief of the sixth division at the Department of National Security.
Mabel was dressed in a black dress that left her delicate collarbone exposed. She was tall and had a pretty face.
She looked to be twenty-four, but she was actually twenty-eight.
She was a graceful woman. She stood there, not saying a word, but it was clear that her dignified aura demanded respect.
Even Jonathan was a little unnerved.
He was no stranger to lust. In fact, he could be quite perverted, but he didn’t dare to pull any moves on Mabel.
This kind of situation was quite rare.
Polly had an imposing aura too, but Jonathan still dared to flirt with her.
However, he did not dare to think about Mabel in that way.
Jonathan realized that Mabel’s cultivation level was very high. In fact, it was even higher than his and Polly’s.
He could not tell the exact level, but it didn’t matter. At this moment, Jonathan was sure that Mabel had to be a Nascent Soul expert, which meant she had reached the Immortal Level.
“Hello, Mr. Lawson.” Mabel approached Jonathan. Smiling, she extended a hand. “Nice to meet you.”
