Chapter 335 Jordan’s Domincering Love
Milly was at a loss for words.
She believed that Xavier could win an award, but when it came to Jonathan winning an Aureate Film Award, she didn’t quite believe it. “You think your acting can win an Aurcate Film Award?”
Jonathan felt guilty under her intense gaze. Holding his folding stool, he stepped back and muttered softly, “It doesn’t matter if I win or not, but I can’t lose my spirit!”
Milly was speechless once again.
She knew it. She just couldn’t trust this guy.
She ignored Jonathan and explained to Jordan, “Jordan, the debut film I’m starring in will be released in a few days. There will be a lot of publicity then. Having my 18th birthday celebration at that time is not appropriate. If people find out about my identity, all the efforts I’ve made so far will be in vain.”
Jordan lightly tapped the sofa’s armrest with his fingers, a sharp look of contemplation flashing in his eyes. “But you only have one coming–of–age ceremony in your life. I don’t want you to look back with regret, especially regrets related to the Burnetts.”
Perhaps fearing that Milly might overthink, Jordan, who usually didn’t like to explain much, added a few more words, “Milly, I had considered your coming–of–age ceremony before. It’s just that when you first came to the Burnetts, you were unfamiliar with everything, and I was worried you might feel awkward, so I planned to delay it a bit. So, don’t overthink it. The reason we decided to hold your coming–of–age ceremony now isn’t because we saw Stephanie and then thought of it. We’ve been planning this for a while. She just happened to do it first.”
Finally, he added, “You are the only one, and you will always be the only one.”
Jordan’s personality had always been calm and reserved. He would never say a fourth sentence at work or in life if he could explain it in three.
This time, the fact that he could explain so much in one go showed that he truly cared about Milly’s feelings, afraid she might overthink things.
Milly’s heart warmed. If it weren’t for the presence. of others, she would have eagerly hugged Jordan’s arm affectionately and coquettishly. “Thank you, Jordan. I understand everything, but let’s not be too flashy. How about we quietly celebrate my coming–of–age ceremony with our family without making a big fuss?”
Jordan frowned slightly. He was not fond of this low–key arrangement where they had to hide things, especially for his younger sister.
However, hearing Milly refer to them as a family made him inexplicably happy. At least now, Milly wholeheartedly considered herself a part of the Burnetts …
Milly could tell that Jordan was starting to relent. Unable to resist, she continued to be affectionate, “Come on, Jordan. You wouldn’t want me to work so hard without any reward, right?
“Jordan…”
Jordan was already afraid of making Milly feel wronged, so he decided to go all out and make a big deal.

upset her or even jeopardise her beloved career, then no matter how good the intention, it would not be worth making.
Moreover, now that Milly was affectionately leaning on him, any lingering anger would dissipate completely, even if there had been any.
Jordan looked at her indulgently and said, “Alright, we’ll postpone the coming–of–age ceremony as you wish. But you have to accept the gift for your coming–of–age.”
Seeing Jordan finally relenting, Milly couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief and quickly nodded. “Okay.”
It’s a gift!
No one can resist the temptation of receiving gifts!
Jordan raised his hand, and Ivan astutely handed him a document. Jordan then promptly passed the document to her.
Milly looked puzzled as she took the thick stack of documents, blinking in confusion. “I thought you said you were giving me a gift? What is this?”
Jordan smiled and teased, “That’s your gift. Take a look and see if you like it.”
Milly frowned. Was this the gift? Could it be shares? She remembered that Jordan had already secured plenty of shares from their grandfather for her, enough to ensure her financial security for
the rest of her life. If this was more shares, she wondered if it meant she would end up as the chairperson!
Just the thought of herself sitting at the head of the table with a group of balding old men reading reports to her …
Oh, that scene sounded more eerie the more she thought about it.
Terrified by the image, she quickly shoved the documents back. “Jordan, I don’t want it!”
Jordan paused, taken aback. “You’re saying no without even looking at it?”
Milly smirked knowingly. “I don’t even need to look to guess. It’s probably shares or something like that. That’s how they always do it in TV dramas.”
After saying this, with a look that seemed to have everything figured out, Milly added, “Jordan, why don’t you buy me a handbag instead? Anything is better than these things. Giving me shares is like giving me a bomb, not a gift! You know I love acting, not managing a company like some boring housewife!” This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
The more she talked, the more disdainful and aggrieved she felt.
Unable to contain himself, Jordan burst into laughter. He pushed the documents towards her again and indulgently said, “I know you don’t like being tied down in the company. I won’t force you to accept something you don’t like. Go ahead, open it and see what it is.”
Milly blinked. “It’s really not shares?”
Jordan nodded. “No, it’s not.”
Huft! Milly breathed a sigh of relief.

If it was not shares, anything else would be fine. She would even accept a voluntary organ donation certificate!
However, the next second, as she read the contents and saw clearly, she widened her eyes in shock. After a few seconds of silence, she finally found her voice again. “A private island purchase contract?”
Jordan explained, “This island was purchased for you some time ago. It took a while to finalise due to the international property rights involved. But now, all negotiations are complete, and the lawyers have finalised the documents. This transaction is officially successful and can now be presented to you as a gift.”
Milly’s eyes widened in disbelief, her mouth hanging open in astonishment. She forgot to breathe for a moment. “This … Jordan, isn’t this too valuable?”
Jordan saw her pale face and felt a pang of sympathy. He gently ruffled her hair and reassured her calmly, as usual, “It’s not too valuable. Nothing is more valuable than you. Besides, the island isn’t large, only 700,000 square meters and the price is relatively low because it’s undeveloped. But it’s in a great location, perfect for vacations or as a small trading post. You can develop it however you like. You’re the sole owner of this island, and no one can interfere.”
Not too valuable…
It is not large…
Only 700,000 square metres …
It’s in a great location…
The combination of these words suggests that they can be understood, yet they also seem incomprehensible.
