Honey, You're a Billionaire? novel Chapter 139

Chapter 139 Prey 

At the cemetery, Rose stood in front of the gravestone. It started to drizzle just after dark. Jonathan, who waited outside the cemetery, immediately entered without a care with an umbrella. 

The rain fell on Rose, but before her hair could get wet an umbrella shielded her. Rose turned around and saw Jonathan. Although she was surprised, she didn’t say a word. 

The rain gradually grew heavier, making a pattering sound as it fell on the umbrella. The only sound in the air was the pattering of the rain. 

It wasn’t until late at night when the rain stopped that Rose decided to leave. However, she didn’t return to the city. Instead, she booked two rooms at the nearest hotel. 

Jonathan followed behind her like a lost puppy. But Rose entered the room silently, and without a word, she closed the door. When they parted, Jonathan called Finley. 

“Tell the Azure Clan of the Finches to investigate Celeste Young’s death…” Jonathan almost forgot about 

1. it. 

But Rose’s actions today made him want to help her find out. After instructing Finley, Jonathan didn’t rest; instead, he went out to buy a case of beer. 

Rose had just finished taking a shower when there was a knock on the door. She looked through the peephole and was taken aback. After hesitating for a moment, Rose opened the door. 

Before she could say anything, Jonathan walked in with the case of beer. 

Rose followed closely behind him. Just as she was about to tell him off, Jonathan turned around and handed her an open bottle of beer. 

“Here.” 

Jonathan smiled at Rose sweetly. She took the bottle in a daze. He pulled her down and opened a bottle for himself. Before Rose could drink from the bottle, Jonathan tilted his head back and started drinking. 

Rose laughed. She knew that Jonathan saw that she was upset, so he invited her to drown her sorrows. She appreciated the kind gesture and accepted it. 

“Thank you,” Rose said as she took a sip. 

The smell of alcohol began to fill the air of the room. Both of them remained silent, each sipping their beer. Rose stared at the dark sky outside, while Jonathan’s eyes remained fixated on her. 

“Tomorrow is my mother’s death anniversary,” Rose said suddenly. 

Her cheeks were flushed, and she was already tipsy. Jonathan froze and stiffened. The death anniversary. of Celeste Young… He didn’t know that she could be so sentimental. 

Just as Jonathan was about to comfort her, Rose said softly, “Tomorrow is also my mom’s birthday. “Every year, my mom used to celebrate her birthday with me. But that year, she was out of town. She was rushing to come back, but on the way, her car was totaled by a large truck. Her car fell into a river..” 

Rose tilted her head back and drank. Jonathan saw tears welling up in her eyes. 

She seemed like she didn’t want to let her tears fall, but eventually, they trickled down from the corners of

her eyes to her ears. She blamed herself! 

Jonathan felt a pang of sympathy and moved closer to her. He placed his arm around her shoulders. 

“It was an accident, it’s not your fault.” 

“It wasn’t an accident… Rose suddenly became emotional. “It wasn’t an accident! It wasn’t, it wasn’t an accident…. 

Jonathan held her tightly, gently patting her back to comfort her. Rose finally calmed down. After two days of emotional distress, she finally found peace in Jonathan’s arms. 

The exhaustion began to wash over her. Before falling asleep, she looked at Jonathan. 

“Can you lend me some money again? I will pay you back.” 

Tomorrow was the deadline given by Kelly, and she finally decided to comply. 

However, she had invested part of the five hundred million into Celeste Jewelry, so she didn’t have that amount on hand. Without waiting for Jonathan’s response, Rose fell asleep. 

Jonathan didn’t know how much money she needed or what she needed it for. But he suddenly thought of something, and a strange look appeared in his eyes. This was his chance! 

“You don’t have to pay it back, but…” 

Jonathan stared at Rose like a predator stalking its prey.
