Honey, You're a Billionaire? novel Chapter 531

With Miles and Harriette watching from outside, Rose couldn't believe Jonathan's audacity. Her face flushed red, her heart started pounding wildly in her chest, and she momentarily forgot any form of resistance until Jonathan suddenly stopped.

"There. All done," he murmured.

Rose blinked in confusion before realizing he had fastened her seatbelt. An awkward silence descended upon them.

Her mind buzzed, and she didn't dare look at anyone, but she caught Jonathan's teasing smile out of the corner of her eye. It seemed to say, "What were you thinking? I was just fastening your seatbelt!"

Rose's face turned an even deeper shade of red. As the car pulled away, she rolled down the window, letting the breeze cool her heated face.

Outside the Young Estate, Miles frowned slightly. He had long accepted the reality of Jonathan and Rose's relationship and had come to terms with his place in their lives.

However, Harriette had always been fond of Jonathan, a fact he was keenly aware of. Over the years, Harriette had repeatedly declared her intention to marry Jonathan and become his wife.

Even during her absence, Miles had subconsciously regarded Jonathan as hers, rejecting the idea of him having feelings for any other woman.

Now that Harriette had returned, Jonathan was already with Rose. This would undoubtedly be a blow to Harriette.

"Etta..." Miles cautiously began.

However, as soon as he uttered her name, Harriette looked at him. "Miles, Jonathan and Rosie... Last night, when Jonathan mentioned a designer, he meant Rosie, didn't he?"

Miles hesitated, searching Harriette's expression as he tried to gauge her emotions. He noticed the slight frown on her face and assumed she was heartbroken.

Nonetheless, the reality was undeniable—Jonathan and Rose were in love. He knew he had to encourage Harriette to accept it.

"Yes, Etta," Miles began gently. "You've been gone for a long time. It's only natural that Jonathan has found someone he cares for. Rose is a wonderful woman, and they're good for each other..."

His stance was clear, and Harriette understood what was being conveyed. Even though she and Jonathan were once childhood sweethearts, and she had loved him deeply, Miles was now supportive of Rose. He wouldn't simply back Harriette because of her feelings for Jonathan.

Despite a flicker of displeasure stirring within her, she knew better than to let it show. Instead, she needed to demonstrate grace and empathy, and perhaps even offer her blessings.

Summoning a warm smile, Harriette said, "I understand, Miles. The past is in the past. Even though Jonathan once vowed to love only me, I realize that those promises were made in the heat of the moment and don't really count."

Miles was visibly surprised. "You truly believe that?"

"Of course," Harriette replied with a casual smile. "Besides, we're talking about Rosie.

"When I first laid eyes on her, I felt a connection. At first, I thought it was her eyes, but later, I realized it was something more. There's a special bond between us, and I intend to cherish it, Miles."

Her words left Miles both moved and relieved. He reached out to affectionately pat her head. "Etta, you're still as kind and thoughtful as when we were kids."

However, the moment he touched her hair, his hand stiffened. An image of Rose flickered through his mind, prompting him to draw back his hand swiftly.

"Don't worry, Etta," Miles reassured her. "One day, you'll find a man just as exceptional to be your husband."

"An equally exceptional man? Who in all of Regalia could possibly match Jonathan?" Harriette mused.

Looking up at Miles, she playfully clung to his arm, her tone light and teasing. "As long as I can stay by your side, that's enough for me, Miles!"
