Honey, You're a Billionaire? novel Chapter 559

Elijah's words of approval carried none of the warmth one might expect. His face remained stony and devoid of joy.

As he patted Jonathan's arm, he added, "Then I'll be waiting for the grand wedding you're going to prepare!"

Even with their official registration, it all depended on Rose's satisfaction. If Jonathan couldn't provide her with lifelong happiness, Elijah would never consider their marriage valid.

With that, he turned and walked away.

Jonathan remained rooted to the spot until Leonard approached, curiosity evident on his face. "Mr. Finch, what did Mr. Xanth say to you just now?"

He had observed the exchange from a distance. While Elijah had been smiling, there was an icy aura about him. It was colder than anything Leonard had ever seen from Jonathan.

Jonathan glanced at him, his expression unreadable. "Do you really want to know?"

Leonard nodded eagerly, waiting to hear the details. However, instead of satisfying his curiosity, Jonathan said, "Then go ask him yourself!", before walking away.

Leonard was left standing there, frozen in place from his curiosity.

"Ask him myself? That was the legendary Elijah of Lerain Group! How would I ever get the chance to ask him anything? I'd only been lucky enough to see him today thanks to Mr. Finch—or rather, thanks to Mrs. Finch!" he thought.

"Aren't you coming?" Jonathan called out from ahead, pulling Leonard out of his thoughts. The latter quickly caught up.

Finley had been waiting in the car for a while. When Jonathan got in, he asked, "Where to, Mr. Finch?"

"Home," Jonathan replied, the meaning clear to Finley.

"Got it, Mr. Finch," Finley said with a knowing smile.

The "home" referred to the new residence Jonathan and Rose would soon share. Although Rose wasn't with Jonathan now, Finley was certain it wouldn't be long before they returned together.

Shortly after their car pulled away, Jonathan's phone rang. The caller ID read "Grandma". Jonathan's brow furrowed, and he waited until just before the call was about to end before picking it up.

"Jonathan! What took you so long to answer? Where are you? I can't seem to find Elijah, nor can I see Clover or Rose. Where are you? Hurry up and take me to meet Elijah!" Eleanor's voice rang out impatiently.

She had been at the banquet, seeking an opportunity to meet Elijah. Mindful of her image, she hadn't been too forward, hoping Rose would notice and introduce them instead.

Unfortunately, Rose had been surrounded by socialites and noblewomen the entire evening. After all, as the star of that night's banquet, she was highly sought after.

Unwilling to lower herself to initiate contact with Rose, Eleanor found herself unable to get close, and as the crowd grew, she struggled to catch even a glimpse of Rose.

She wasn't worried though. With Jonathan around, she knew there would still be an opportunity to meet Elijah.

Even if Elijah had already left, Jonathan could simply ask Rose to mention her to him. After all, Elijah had just reunited with his long-lost daughter. Surely, he would make time for them.

Confident in her plan, Eleanor was caught off guard by Jonathan's indifferent response over the phone. "They've left."

Confused, she asked, "What do you mean they've left?"

"Everyone's gone home," Jonathan replied flatly.

"Elijah and Clover have both left? Even Rose is gone?" Now comprehending the situation, Eleanor remained unfazed. Even when Jonathan mentioned his own departure, she chose to ignore it.
