The man realized he had said the wrong thing and immediately stopped talking. Looking at Yara, he noticed her staring grimly outside the cafe. She seemed oblivious to his presence, which relieved him.Others around caught on after his reminder. They immediately recognized that the woman in black was indeed the mysterious woman from the Young family everyone had been curious about recently."What exactly is her connection to the Young family?""She's here to meet a friend, and Mr. Miles had to check on her. Even Mr. Gabriel was on guard outside.""Mr. Gabriel looks more like a bodyguard to her. Her status must be significant."The staff member of the film crew was extremely curious about Rose's identity. Yara felt particularly bitter inside."What's so significant about her? She's just Mr. Young Senior's adopted granddaughter from Aquastead. They don't even share any blood relation. She hasn't contributed anything to the Young family. She simply used some tricks to deceive Mr. You
Gabriel said, "Rose, then I'm going to head off first."Gabriel bid farewell to Rose. He finally stepped out of the room just as Yvonne's patience was wearing thin. With a bang, the door shut, and Gabriel stood outside the door once again feeling the hostility from Rose's friend.Yvonne couldn't contain herself any longer. She turned back swiftly after shutting the door, asking, "Cousin? How come he is your cousin?"Rose was already seated at the dining table, where Gabriel had thoughtfully laid out all her favorite dishes. Despite her recent lack of appetite, perhaps it was seeing Yvonne that suddenly stirred her hunger.Rose took a sip of some mushroom soup. Then, she looked at Yvonne in confusion. "If not cousin, then what's his relationship with me?"Her innocent gaze made it seem as if she genuinely didn't understand Yvonne's implications. Yvonne's lips twitched slightly, but Rose had already started introducing this "cousin". "He's Gabriel Yones, the only son of the Young
Rose didn't refuse Gabriel's offer. She felt that Gabriel tagging along might have been at Miles's behest. So, Rose went along with it and got into Gabriel's car. In the car, Rose and Yvonne chatted unabashedly about the male models at the bar. They discussed their abs and chests, leaving Gabriel shaking his head in disbelief multiple times.As they approached the bar's entrance, Gabriel tried to stop them again. "Rose, how about we choose another place?"This bar was notorious for its handsome staff and rumored special performances. Gabriel had frequented Regalia's bars for over a decade. Hence, he knew all too well what went on in these places.Rose… didn't belong here. Gabriel wished he could drag Rose away, but he had no grounds to do so. Rose looked at the bar in front of her. She recalled the first time she met Jonathan in Aquastead. She seemed eager to prove something, which was why she was eager to come when Yvonne suggested going to the bar.At this moment, she felt ev
Leonard stood prepared. He had anticipated Jonathan's imminent wrath.Despite the bar's freezing air conditioning, he still felt clammy with sweat. After a moment of silence, Jonathan finally spoke."Prepare a mask for me. Everyone else, wear masks too!"His cold command cut through the air like a poisoned blade. His gaze remained fixed on a specific booth.Leonard was speechless. He didn't immediately grasp the purpose of the masks. On the other hand, Finley understood. Jonathan was jealous.As for what he intended to do, Finley had a vague idea. A flicker of surprise crossed his eyes. Then, he urged a bewildered Leanord. He said, "Masks! What are you waiting for? Go and get it."Leonard snapped out of his daze. He had to get the masks as soon as possible. There was no time to delay.…Inside the lively bar, Rose was surrounded by various young men. Perhaps it was because she had a few drinks, she couldn't see a single face clearly. However, in her mind, Jonathan's face kept
For some reason, Rose's heart palpitated the closer she got. The gaze from behind the mask initially held a smile, but an overwhelming sense of oppression suddenly surged within her. Rose had barely even reached the man when her body froze. She forgot to turn around."It's you!" Rose blurted out. Was he the source of the sense of oppression? But why?Noticing the confusion in Rose's eyes, Jonathan's face behind the mask froze, but it soon resumed to normal. So she had just recognized his "new identity".They shared a bed and did everything a couple should. He missed her dearly day and night, and he would pause just at the mention of her name. However, she still couldn't recognize him even after touching his body!Filled with jealousy, he obviously forgot that before coming out, he had sprayed an unfamiliar cologne on purpose. He had hidden his identity as well."You haven't answered me. Do you like it?" Jonathan's deep voice was faint amidst the music.Although Rose heard his q
None of them wanted Rose to be exposed to the spotlight.With a shared glance, they instantly reached a mutual agreement, though they had been in conflict just moments before. Jonathan held onto Rose, while Miles shielded her from the paparazzi's view. They worked together as they moved to the side of the road.After helping Rose into the car, Miles' face turned grim. The car was the Finches'!Once the car door closed, Miles rolled down the window. This usual cold and aloof face now bore a triumphant smile. He ignored the gloomy look in Miles' eyes and sincerely thanked him, "Thank you. I'll take good care of Rose."A thought came to his mind when the window was half-closed. He looked at Yvonne, whom Leonard was holding onto. "Oh, by the way, that's Rosie's friend. She cares a lot about her. If you're free, could you perhaps keep an eye on her? We'll both feel at ease knowing she's in safe hands."Jonathan gave Miles a grateful look and closed the window. The car then sped
Ezra lounged lazily on the couch, engrossed in his game. He glanced at Yosef and immediately understood his intentions."So what? We all arrived before him, but did any of us actually get to see Grandma?" Ezra looked up and grinned at Yosef, who was caught off guard by his response.Yosef was momentarily speechless. What did Ezra mean by that?"Ez…" Yosef wanted to speak, but Ezra didn't give him the chance."Jonathan… is that how you're supposed to address him?" Ezra directed his gaze at Jack. Although Jonathan was the second in their generation by age, he had to be treated with the utmost respect as the ruler of the Finches. According to the rules in their family, Jack was supposed to address Jonathan as "Mr. Finch".Jack's face flashed pale. "Ezra, you…"Wasn't Ezra supposed to be at odds with Jonathan? Why the sudden behavior change?Not only were Yosef and Jack shocked, but even Jonathan looked at Ezra in confusion. He wondered what Ezra was up to.Yet, after silencing t
Rose's heart skipped a beat. Seeing that she was about to be caught red-handed, she didn't have time to take in the room's layout. She hurried back along the original path in a panic and hid in the walk-in closet.The door opened and then closed. Rose held her breath, but the footsteps were getting closer.Jonathan returned to the room immediately. Not seeing Rose on the bed brought a sudden wave of disappointment. Had she left? But her unique scent was still in the air. Jonathan felt a sense of loss as his eyes caught sight of the mask on the floor. As he picked it up, memories of last night flashed in his mind, particularly the embarrassed look on her face when her hand touched his chest.There was a sudden bang. Jonathan looked in the direction of the sound and confirmed it came from the closet. A heavy gasp came after the noise.Rose… Jonathan was certain she was inside. Was she hiding from him? A doting smile spread across his face as he walked toward the closet.Each ste
