Joanthan's eyes turned icy."How did she get here?"Apart from Rose, only Zac knew he was here. Zac hesitated, his confidence waning in the face of Jonathan's hidden anger."She had been looking for you, so I brought her here. After all, we're still friends."Jonathan furrowed his brows.Zac's heart skipped a beat as he continued, "I was originally coming up with her, but I received a phone call at the last minute, so I let her come up first. Is everything okay?"He glanced at the room and felt a sense of familiarity. Suddenly, he caught something, and his pupils widened."Last night … Who was it? Were you set up by someone? Which woman?"His gaze took on an accusatory tone as he continued, "Behaving recklessly like this after being drugged, how will you face your little beauty?"Jonathan knew he had misunderstood. He didn't want to explain, but his reproachful gaze seemed to genuinely favor Rose. His chilliness eased slightly."It's her."With that, he left the room. As he
Initially, he felt a bit displeased, but soon his lips curved into an indulgent smile. She must have been exhausted last night.Maybe she was catching up on sleep just now, heard her phone ringing, and casually hung up without checking who was calling. She probably continued to sleep.A satisfying image flashed in his mind, his handsome face lit up with contentment. Glancing at the time, he decided to wait until she was awake to bring her some lunch. On their way, he was in a good mood.On the other hand, Anastasia felt something was amiss. She noticed how concerned he was about that woman. She knew that things wouldn't be easy if he cared so much.She didn't persist and had Zac drop her off at Aquatead Hotel. Jonathan received an unexpected call from the company. He had been spending most of his time at Celeste Jewels and rarely visited Finch Building.Some documents had been delivered by Finley for his signature at Century Tower downstairs. Since he was in a good mood today, h
Before he could finish his words, Jonathan gave him a cold look."We can talk about it tomorrow."He swiftly walked away. There could be nothing more important than delivering lunch to Rose,"But …"It would be too late to wait until tomorrow. Finley watched his joyful figure disappear and was left puzzled.He remembered that just last night, Jonathan was downcast and seemed heartbroken. He was in no mood for company.How was it possible that he had transformed so completely overnight? What had happened last night?He thought Rose was not that important to Jonathan. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been released from the pain after falling out of love. As for the message he had just received …He contemplated it for a moment and decided to push it aside. At the same time, when Rose finished her work, it was 11:15 am. It was the perfect time for lunch.She quickly freshened up and picked up her bag before heading to the meeting room to meet Miles. Miles was driving, and the two of t
"What do you mean she was at the company in the morning and should no longer be there?" Jonathan asked.Wasn't Rose supposed to be sleeping in the morning?Finely was taken aback by his low growl and responded resentfully, "I told you when you left that there was something important, but you said we could discuss it tomorrow."Even over the phone, he could sense a chilling atmosphere."Speak!" Jonathan coldly demanded."Mr. Young has been waiting for Ms. Shaffer in the guest area of Celeste Jewels all morning. It seems like they're going out together at this time …"They were supposed to be enjoying a meal together. He didn't dare to finish his sentence. There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line.Finley almost thought the call had been disconnected when a voice finally came through, "Immediately find out where they are. Additionally, from now on, address as 'Mrs. Finch.'"With that, Jonathan hung up the phone. Finley was left bewildered, wondering why he would
"Thank you, Mr. Young …"Rose's heart rate slowed as she quickly expressed her gratitude. Miles's smile was gentle."I've been calling you Rose, and you're still calling me Mr. Young. Isn't that a bit too formal?"Rose hesitated. If not Mr. Young, what should she call him? It wasn't polite for her to call him by his name."How about you call me Miles?"A hint of indulgence appeared in Miles's eyes."Alright, Miles."This title felt neither too formal nor too distant. Not far away, Jonathan had entered the amusement park as well. Watching the two of them chatting and laughing, his gaze was filled with murderous intent.Mr. Finch, who had once been ruthless when reorganizing the various branches of the Finches, found himself powerless when facing Rose.By his side, Finley didn't dare to breathe, fearing that he might unwittingly incur his wrath.At 5:00 pm, as he watched Rose and Miles leave the amusement park and get into the same car, he couldn't contain himself any longer. H
Miles found it weird that Jonathan had been observing from the side without approaching. However, he found it somewhat interesting. He led Rose into the museum.Jonathan got out of the car and followed in hasty steps. He was about to enter when the ticket inspector stopped him."I'm sorry, Sir. You can't enter without a ticket. Please make your way and let others enter first."The ticket inspector was a young man. He had a standardized and friendly smile on his face. However, the glance at Jonathan gave away the thoughts in his heart.He was so handsome and dressed decently, yet he was a man who wanted to mix up the tickets. With him guarding the entrance, no one could enter without a ticket.Jonathan retreated to the side with a darkened face. No one had ever left him aside in this way. At the side, Finley couldn't help but give a thumbs up for the ticket inspector.The expression that was inadvertently leaked was captured by Jonathan. He immediately gave him a cold glance."Wh
Rose and Miles turned back at the same time. Upon seeing the person behind them, their expressions changed. The person who came was Anastasia.Miles frowned deeply as if he didn't want to be disturbed by her at this time. Meanwhile, it was rare for Anastasia to see Miles with any woman, and this woman … Her eyes wandered on Rose's face.When Rose saw her, her whole body froze. Even though she was wearing sunglasses, she could recognize her at a glance—she was her star escort husband's new investor.She didn't expect to see her at this place. Where was her star escort husband? Did he come as well?Almost subconsciously, she glanced around and breathed a sigh of relief when she didn't see her star escort husband's figure.The next moment, she realized that she was a little afraid of facing the two of them standing together again. Especially after last night, she felt a little stuffy.Miles noticed that her face was a little pale. He asked with concern, "Rose, are you okay?"Accord
Miles's face could not be darker. Jonathan, who was not far away, also heard this.He strode up to Miles and said, "It's impossible for Rose to like you."Miles cast a glance at him. A moment ago, he was worried that Anastasia would say something she shouldn't say in front of Rose and cause a misunderstanding.However, at this moment, he hoped that she would expose his good impression of Rose."Do you think she will like you?"He smiled nonchalantly."Of course. She and I …"Jonathan almost revealed the fact that he and Rose were married, but he soon stopped. The divorce agreement was still in his hands, and Rose had a very bad impression of "Mr. Finch".He couldn't let Miles know that Rose didn't know his identity. Otherwise, he would choose to expose it. He suddenly felt a headache.Meanwhile, in the washroom, Anastasia looked at Rose in a trance through the huge mirror in front of her. Rose raised her eyes and met her gaze in the mirror.At that moment, both of them were s
