Honey, You're a Billionaire by Chandler Solar

Chapter 482 Their Relationship "Rest assured, Ms. Shaffer. I'll ask someone to handle that now." Lizzie enthusiastically took the lead without waiting for Jonathan's approval.

Looking at the smiling Lizzie, Rose hadn't forgotten her first tat Finch Manor. That night, the former knelt before Jonathan and attempted to put him in a moral dilemma.

Since she wanted to help, Rose naturally thanked her with a smile. "Thank you, Mrs. Finch." After all, they had no reason to target or harm Dawn. As such, she wasn't worried about it. Lizzie soon asked Cyrus' driver to pick up Dawn.

The group went from the healthcare building to the main building. Jonathan kept Rose tightly by his side. The entire time, he was tense and solemn as though in high alert mode. He was nervous because Rose was unaware of Eleanor's invitation. Not only did she request Jonathan to bring Rose, but she had also invited Yara and Anastasia. He saw through what Eleanor was trying to do. His uneasiness prompted him to call out to Rose. "Rose..." She turned toward him curiously. What did he want to tell her? "The family banquet tonight..." Jonathan furrowed his brows. He wanted to say the dinner was a trap. However, the intelligent Rose had long realized it. She glanced at Yara and Anastasia before revealing a playful smile. "Are they here to compete to be your wife?" Upon hearing that, Jonathan halted his steps and darkened his expression.

Sensing his displeasure, she feigned pettiness. "One's an international actress, while the other's the Young family heiress. Both are compatible with the Finch family and your identity." Jonathan's expression grew darker. She continued pondering who Eleanor would prefer. "Ms. Maize has a great image in the media, while the Young family is the second most influential in Regalia, just after the Finches. They- || She was just analyzing the situation when she felt her wrist being seized by a large palm. Before she could react, she felt a force pulling her. Instinctively gasping in shock, Jonathan kissed her lips before she could make a sound.

The soft sensation rendered Rose's mind blank. Returning to her senses, she looked around in a panic and only realized Jonathan had pulled her behind a tall floral wall, which shielded the two completely.

She was secretly relieved and subsequently heard his deep, seductive voice. "Don't worry. They won't see us." Jonathan sounded breathy when he spoke. It had been ages since he last kissed her. The way their lips touched prompted him to lose his rationality.

Rose tilted her head up slightly. Without any care, he lowered his body but was stopped by her this time. Amid the panic, she grabbed his chin. Then, she dropped her volfor fear of attracting others' attention, her tone stern. "Have you gone insane, Jonathan?" Had he? How could he not when he heard how she matchmaked him with other women? Displeased, Jonathan stared at Rose and said, "You seem to have forgotten our relationship!" She was stunned briefly.

"I'm your legal husband, wifey. How could you say those to me?" Amid her daze, he grabbed her hand, which was pinching his chin, and caressed it gently.

Rose was distracted by the terms "husband" and "wifey" and didn't notice his movements. Although she constantly reminded herself to cut ties with him, the two were a legal couple at the of the day. She felt regretful about it, but how could she not? They both knew how and why they got married in the first place.

Rose cleared her throat, intending to make things clear once and for all. But before she could say anything Jonathan suddenly embraced her Her face had no choice but to press against his chest as she listened to his heartbeat.

Then, he spoke. "You're the only one I'll ever love, Rose. You're my only wife! Nobody can stop me, not even you!" His unwavering confession shuddered her heart, intensifying her guilt.

"Rose, I did something that angered Grandma. As punishment, she orderedto bring you to this banquet tonight..." His voice rang above her head.

Rose was shocked by that revelation. She wanted to look up at him but was resisted by his chin resting on her head. It felt like he had sealed her within his embrace, preventing her from breaking free.

sw He continued, "She knows I care about you. That's why she's using you to punish me. But how could I let you face her? "I did the one thing I could and offered her an exchange to ease her anger, but who would've thought fate brought you into that accident right outside..." Was it fate though? She happened to be at Ebott Road and crashed into Anastasia's car right outside Finch Manor... At that moment, they both suspected something. "Rose, no matter what happens later, just don't consider me," Jonathan stated.

Rose frowned. What could possibly happen? Would she be able to do what he asked? She was unsure.

Meanwhile, the people ahead of them were all immersed in their thoughts. Yara walked with Bella, forming a distance from the rest.

At the healthcare building earlier, the former was extremely dissatisfied. Seeing that it was dark outside, she took the chance to let loose and reveal the frustration on her face. "I don't understand you. Rose wanted to leave. Why did you have to convince her to stay? Didn't you see how much Jonathan cares about her?"

Yara had planned to use tonight's opportunity to spend twith him and make a good impression. Yet, Bella, who was supposed to be on her side, did her a "favor"! She couldn't comprehend Bella's thoughts. Of course, Bella wouldn't disclose her reason either. While Yara complained, Bella stayed silent and ignored her, only looking at the ground as though contemplating something.

Yara desperately wanted to lash out. Just as she wished to see Jonathan and Rose, she turned around only to see them gone. Where were they? Halting her steps, she asked, "Where's... Mr. Jonathan and Ms. Shaffer?" How did they disappear? When the rest heard Yara's words, they stopped and looked behind themselves simultaneously. Jonathan and Rose were gone!

Sof them began to get suspicious. Since Jonathan had m previously prevented Rose from attending the trap", it wouldn't be a shock if he ignored Eleanor's orders and escaped with Rose. X
