Honey, You're a Billionaire? novel Chapter 482

"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 time at 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 volume for 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.
