Initially, he felt a bit displeased, but soon his lips curved into an indulgent smile. She must have been exhausted last night.Maybe she was catching up on sleep just now, heard her phone ringing, and casually hung up without checking who was calling. She probably continued to sleep.A satisfying image flashed in his mind, his handsome face lit up with contentment. Glancing at the time, he decided to wait until she was awake to bring her some lunch. On their way, he was in a good mood.On the other hand, Anastasia felt something was amiss. She noticed how concerned he was about that woman. She knew that things wouldn't be easy if he cared so much.She didn't persist and had Zac drop her off at Aquatead Hotel. Jonathan received an unexpected call from the company. He had been spending most of his time at Celeste Jewels and rarely visited Finch Building.Some documents had been delivered by Finley for his signature at Century Tower downstairs. Since he was in a good mood today, h
Before he could finish his words, Jonathan gave him a cold look."We can talk about it tomorrow."He swiftly walked away. There could be nothing more important than delivering lunch to Rose,"But …"It would be too late to wait until tomorrow. Finley watched his joyful figure disappear and was left puzzled.He remembered that just last night, Jonathan was downcast and seemed heartbroken. He was in no mood for company.How was it possible that he had transformed so completely overnight? What had happened last night?He thought Rose was not that important to Jonathan. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been released from the pain after falling out of love. As for the message he had just received …He contemplated it for a moment and decided to push it aside. At the same time, when Rose finished her work, it was 11:15 am. It was the perfect time for lunch.She quickly freshened up and picked up her bag before heading to the meeting room to meet Miles. Miles was driving, and the two of t
"What do you mean she was at the company in the morning and should no longer be there?" Jonathan asked.Wasn't Rose supposed to be sleeping in the morning?Finely was taken aback by his low growl and responded resentfully, "I told you when you left that there was something important, but you said we could discuss it tomorrow."Even over the phone, he could sense a chilling atmosphere."Speak!" Jonathan coldly demanded."Mr. Young has been waiting for Ms. Shaffer in the guest area of Celeste Jewels all morning. It seems like they're going out together at this time …"They were supposed to be enjoying a meal together. He didn't dare to finish his sentence. There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line.Finley almost thought the call had been disconnected when a voice finally came through, "Immediately find out where they are. Additionally, from now on, address as 'Mrs. Finch.'"With that, Jonathan hung up the phone. Finley was left bewildered, wondering why he would
"Thank you, Mr. Young …"Rose's heart rate slowed as she quickly expressed her gratitude. Miles's smile was gentle."I've been calling you Rose, and you're still calling me Mr. Young. Isn't that a bit too formal?"Rose hesitated. If not Mr. Young, what should she call him? It wasn't polite for her to call him by his name."How about you call me Miles?"A hint of indulgence appeared in Miles's eyes."Alright, Miles."This title felt neither too formal nor too distant. Not far away, Jonathan had entered the amusement park as well. Watching the two of them chatting and laughing, his gaze was filled with murderous intent.Mr. Finch, who had once been ruthless when reorganizing the various branches of the Finches, found himself powerless when facing Rose.By his side, Finley didn't dare to breathe, fearing that he might unwittingly incur his wrath.At 5:00 pm, as he watched Rose and Miles leave the amusement park and get into the same car, he couldn't contain himself any longer. H
Miles found it weird that Jonathan had been observing from the side without approaching. However, he found it somewhat interesting. He led Rose into the museum.Jonathan got out of the car and followed in hasty steps. He was about to enter when the ticket inspector stopped him."I'm sorry, Sir. You can't enter without a ticket. Please make your way and let others enter first."The ticket inspector was a young man. He had a standardized and friendly smile on his face. However, the glance at Jonathan gave away the thoughts in his heart.He was so handsome and dressed decently, yet he was a man who wanted to mix up the tickets. With him guarding the entrance, no one could enter without a ticket.Jonathan retreated to the side with a darkened face. No one had ever left him aside in this way. At the side, Finley couldn't help but give a thumbs up for the ticket inspector.The expression that was inadvertently leaked was captured by Jonathan. He immediately gave him a cold glance."Wh
Rose and Miles turned back at the same time. Upon seeing the person behind them, their expressions changed. The person who came was Anastasia.Miles frowned deeply as if he didn't want to be disturbed by her at this time. Meanwhile, it was rare for Anastasia to see Miles with any woman, and this woman … Her eyes wandered on Rose's face.When Rose saw her, her whole body froze. Even though she was wearing sunglasses, she could recognize her at a glance—she was her star escort husband's new investor.She didn't expect to see her at this place. Where was her star escort husband? Did he come as well?Almost subconsciously, she glanced around and breathed a sigh of relief when she didn't see her star escort husband's figure.The next moment, she realized that she was a little afraid of facing the two of them standing together again. Especially after last night, she felt a little stuffy.Miles noticed that her face was a little pale. He asked with concern, "Rose, are you okay?"Accord
Miles's face could not be darker. Jonathan, who was not far away, also heard this.He strode up to Miles and said, "It's impossible for Rose to like you."Miles cast a glance at him. A moment ago, he was worried that Anastasia would say something she shouldn't say in front of Rose and cause a misunderstanding.However, at this moment, he hoped that she would expose his good impression of Rose."Do you think she will like you?"He smiled nonchalantly."Of course. She and I …"Jonathan almost revealed the fact that he and Rose were married, but he soon stopped. The divorce agreement was still in his hands, and Rose had a very bad impression of "Mr. Finch".He couldn't let Miles know that Rose didn't know his identity. Otherwise, he would choose to expose it. He suddenly felt a headache.Meanwhile, in the washroom, Anastasia looked at Rose in a trance through the huge mirror in front of her. Rose raised her eyes and met her gaze in the mirror.At that moment, both of them were s
The three people pulled Rose together at the same time. Rose felt that Maya and Kelly were indeed pestering. At the antique exhibition, she didn't want to get into a fight and affect the atmosphere.As she was about to push the three of them away and ask the museum security guards to subdue them, Maya suddenly stumbled on her foot."Ah …" she cried out in pain and failed to stabilize her body.As she fell, she tried to make a final struggle to stabilize her body. Hence, she let go of her hand on Rose's clothes, but it was obvious that she became even more unstable as she lost her fulcrum.She could only grab the hair of someone next to her."Ah …" Kelly's hair was grabbed, and her scalp hurt.She also couldn't bear the weight of one person. The moment Maya fell to the ground, Kelly also landed heavily."Ah … It hurts …"She held her lower abdomen with her hand. Soon, a pool of blood flowed out from under her body, staining her white skirt red.For a moment, Maya also panicked.
As expected, Rose slowly began to reveal her thoughts and plans. "After this design won an award, Jonathan purchased the design draft, which means that these couple rings are unique and not available as any other product on the market."But now, she wanted to start mass-producing these couple rings.She wanted to turn this ring into a product known by everyone, so wherever Jonathan might be, if he happened to see it, he would know she was thinking of him. However…"Red diamonds are rare and extremely valuable…" Rose trailed off.Olivia frowned, realizing that even if this ring went into mass production, not many people would be able to afford it.But Rose made up her mind that no matter how great the cost was, nothing was more important than having Jonathan return. Besides, the one thing she currently wasn't lacking would probably be money and resources."Young Group still has some red diamonds in their inventory. The Xanth family has several mines in Frenchaa. The red diamonds w
Natalie also noticed Ava standing up.The two of them paused for a moment, and with a brief exchange of glances, they understood what the other was about to do.The mental process Natalie went through just now was interesting. She was trembling with fear.She never expected that all the praise Rose just gave in the office was actually about Olivia. Additionally, Rose considered Olivia as her sister!Ah! She was thinking about making a good impression on Rose, trying to win her over and outshine Olivia. But now, how could she compare? She couldn't compare! She just couldn't compare with that.She could no longer view Olivia as a rival, as Olivia simply wasn't worthy of that status. What she needed to focus on now was changing Olivia's negative impression of her. So, she was going to apologize!Natalie and Ava went to Olivia's office.Olivia didn't pay much attention to their arrival and acted as usual. It wasn't until she noticed they weren't discussing work after coming in tha
Natalie had just delivered the coffee. Did Rose not drink it?"Is Ms. Lenner in the office? I have a document that needs her signature. Where did she go?" Rose asked."I saw her heading toward the pantry just now, and she was holding two cups in her hands. How strange…"Natalie was jolted awake after hearing that voice.Olivia went to the pantry, and Rose had also gone into the pantry.Natalie felt a strange sensation in her heart. Almost as if guided by an unseen force, she walked toward the pantry.Inside the pantry, Olivia squeezed a glass of juice for Rose.Yesterday, she received a call from Miles. During the call, Miles instructed her to take good care of Rose after she joined the design department. He emphasized that she should not be overworked, showing great concern for Rose's well-being.When she connected this with how she accidentally saw Rose feeling nauseous yesterday, Olivia began to suspect something.Olivia gazed at the freshly squeezed orange juice in her han
Rose's compliment caught everyone present off guard once again. Did Rose acknowledge Olivia?This… Why was it different from what they expected?"Ms. Shaffer, Ms. Lenner's capabilities as a manager are well recognized by everyone. But now that you're here, the director position is obviously yours. Don't…"Rose glanced at the person who started speaking and recognized who it was.From the moment she walked in, she could sense this person's resentment toward Olivia. There was dissatisfaction that Olivia, who had only recently joined the department, was appointed as the design director for Young's House of Jewels.Rose's eyes seemed to have the ability to see through a person's thoughts or feelings.She interrupted the person, smiling softly, and said, "Being a design director is hard work. I'll leave the responsibility and the burden to Ms. Lenner. I won't take on the role."What she meant was that she didn't come here to experience hardship and toil.Indeed, even if some of her
Olivia was not embarrassed when she was caught. In fact, she seemed relieved. "Ms. Shaffer, I haven't done well enough. Now that you're here, I'd like to request a job change. If I could become your assistant and you give me the opportunity to learn, that would be even better."Her decision wasn't influenced by the mockery she overheard earlier in the lounge.Upon hearing that Rose was coming to Young's House of Jewels, she had already made up her mind.She learned that Rose was once the champion of a national jewelry design competition. Her designs were highly praised within the industry. Rose had already become her idol.The position of design director was perfect for Rose.She willingly decided to be Rose's secretary.When Olivia made the request, she was extremely nervous, fearing that Rose might reject her."I disagree," Rose said clearly.It was as Olivia expected. There was clearly a hint of disappointment in Olivia's eyes as if her high hopes had ended in disappointment
Rose nodded. "Okay.""Don't overwork yourself," Clover said."Okay."Miles chimed in, "Whatever happens, always be honest with us.""Okay."Miles and Clover gave their advice one after another, and Rose agreed to everything. She understood that their advice came from a place of care for her."Miles, Clover, don't worry. I'll be fine," Rose said with a gentle smile on her face.Her smile left the two of them momentarily dazed.Ever since Jonathan went missing, even when Rose managed to smile, it was with a sense of sadness that tugged at their hearts. But at this moment, it seemed like she had returned to her former self—Lively, playful, pure, and warm.She even said she would be just fine!At that moment, Mile and Clover finally felt a bit of relief from the worries they had been carrying for some time.They continued their search for Jonathan every day without fail, but each time returned with no news. They weren't sure if Jonathan would ever come back.If Jonathan didn'
Kelly's laugh was particularly eerie.Even Anastasia couldn't help but frown as she felt a chill run down her spine.Kelly's laughter echoed through the empty room, and after some amount of time, Kelly murmured a name."Rose! My name is Rose! Yes, I'm Rose!"I am the true heir of the Young family. I am the daughter of Elijah from Lerain Group. I have a caring brother and a loving husband. I am also pregnant..."Kelly touched her belly and said, "I'm pregnant, and I'm really happy. Haha! I'm Rose! I'm Rose. Do you want to congratulate me?"Kelly looked at Anastasia. Her expression looked very eerily strange.Anastasia stared at Kelly for a while. Had Kelly gone insane? Was it genuine insanity, or was she just pretending to be insane?She was considering herself as Rose?But how could someone like Kelly be capable enough to consider herself Rose?"You're not Rose!" Anastasia said slowly.Even if Kelly truly had lost her mind, Anastasia wouldn't let her hide in the perfect worl
"Something major happened in recent days," Anastasia said.Anastasia's tone made Kelly instinctively feel that the so-called big news she was talking about was definitely not something she wanted to hear.Kelly's eyes showed a hint of fear—she wanted to avoid learning about this so-called big news.Unfortunately, she was at another's mercy, like a fish on the chopping block.Anastasia aimed to torment her not just physically but also mentally, making her feel like living was worse than dying."No—"As soon as Kelly began to speak, Anastasia interrupted her potential refusal by saying, "Rose is pregnant."Kelly's expression clearly showed she was taken aback for a moment.She didn't want to listen, but each word in that sentence pierced her eardrums like needles. It seeped into her skin like poison and echoed persistently in her mind.Rose was pregnant. She was pregnant with Jonathan's child!In her mind, these words played out a scene like grass in spring, sprouting and growi
"He'll come back!" Rose spoke with determination.Sometimes no news was the best news—Jonathan might have encountered some unavoidable situation.As long as his body hadn't been found, he was still alive.She knew that they would continue searching, and all she could do was take care of the baby in her womb and wait for him to return.Jonathan would come back!Ezra was moved once again by her determination. "Yes, he will come back. He definitely will."…At that moment, in a hospital, the person lying in the bed was in a coma, but they moved their fingers slightly.But it was only for a moment, and it was as if nothing had happened.…In a nondescript mountain area in Regalia, a car made its way up and finally stopped outside an unremarkable house.Anastasia got out of the car and walked straight to the door.It seemed that someone was expecting her arrival. The door was opened from the inside, and she was respectfully invited in.The door closed as if nothing had ever hap
