Honey, You're a Billionaire?

Jonathan's voice clearly expressed dissatisfaction.

Rose felt a bit uneasy. She focused on keeping her composure, appearing as though she hadn't heard anything.

Nearby, Jonathan, sitting on the couch, furrowed his brows.

Something felt off, very off.

He had been watching Rose for a long time, and usually, she should have felt his

gaze by now and looked back at him. Then there would be a moment of eye

contact, which would set the stage for him to make his next move.

But...

Was she not aware of being watched?

Jonathan tried winking and making himself noticeable, but she still didn't respond.

Something felt off, really off!noveldrama

So, he had no choice but to try a different approach. "Wifey...."

He called out to Rose, but she still didn't respond.

Jonathan furrowed his brow even more. Was it because he wasn't loud enough?

"Wifey..." he called out again.

There was still no response. Was his charm not strong enough?

"Wifey..." he called out again.

Every time Rose heard him call out "wifey," she felt her heart clench a bit. She knew that whenever he used that term, it usually meant trouble. But if she continued to pretend not to hear him, it would seem way too obvious.

Rose wanted to run away. So, she did.

She carefully managed her gaze to avoid looking at Jonathan while heading toward the door.

Just as she reached the doorway, she was startled by the man who suddenly appeared behind her.

"Wifey, where are you going?" Jonathan asked, even though he already knew the answer. He wrapped his arms around Rose's waist from behind, stopping her in her tracks.

Rose, trying to calm herself, replied, "No, I'm not going anywhere."

"But I just called you, and you didn't respond..." Jonathan expressed his dissatisfaction in a somewhat playful manner.

Rose quickly came up with a reason, asking, "Did you call for me? I didn't hear

you. Maybe I was too focused on my thoughts just now."

"What are you thinking about?" Jonathan asked inquisitively.

Rose had no retort. She was thinking about how to escape from his clutches!

But how could she tell the truth?

Earlier, she glared at him with an intimidating look, and he pretended to be annoyed, saying he would punish her. The method of punishment was something quite adult in nature, and once started, it became quite irresistible.

She learned her lesson since then!

She couldn't give him any excuse to "punish" her, so she had to behave herself.

"I was thinking of cooking something at noon and making something you love." This was considered being nice, right?

During this time, when no one else was around, the two of them lived a simple life as a couple. Jonathan handled all the cooking for the two of them, and his culinary skills improved rapidly.

Today, she decided to cook as a way to show her appreciation for him.

He was definitely looking forward to it!

But...

"You're being so good. Then.... I think I should give my wifey a nice reward," Jonathan whispered, his breath reaching the back of Rose's ear.

With its strong sense of allure, it immediately made Rose freeze in place. Haha... This reward... She felt like this reward might not be very decent. "Actually... Um..."

She meant to say that it was all right for her not to receive any reward. Before she could finish speaking, her body lifted off the ground. In a moment of panic, she let out a surprised cry and quickly wrapped her arms around Jonathan's neck.

This course of "initiative" was what gave Jonathan the slightest bit of satisfaction.

Jonathan smiled, and Rose looked at his face. It was exactly her type, but having her favorite type several times a day was a bit much to handle!

"Dad and Clover are coming today." Rose's eyes sparkled with anticipation.

They were almost here, and Jonathan always had to consider the impact of even the smallest things, right?

Her smile seemed to become a bit forced soon after.

How could she forget that Jonathan stopped caring about those things a long time ago?

Every time they came, Jonathan would keep them waiting...

Rose's face turned bright red at the mere thought of the awkwardness she felt every time she went downstairs with Jonathan to face Elijah and Clover.

Yet the brilliant blush on her face captivated Jonathan, leaving him lost in thought. The desire in his eyes could no longer be concealed. Soon, the room was filled with the warmth of intimate whispers.

Downstairs, Elijah and Clover had gone through several rounds of tea together. Clover couldn't hold back any longer and glanced at Finley, who was standing nearby with an awkward expression, feeling really annoyed.

"Mr. Finch shouldn't be living here!" Clover, with nowhere else to vent his frustration, directed his discontent toward Finley.

How long had they all been waiting?

Every time they came, they ended up waiting.

Could Jonathan really not hold back a little?

Finley was being intensely stared at by two pairs of eyes, and he was feeling quite troubled inside.

Jonathan wasn't like this before. Who would have expected that in front of Rose, he would behave so indiscreetly?

But...

"Mr. and Mrs. Finch are legally married, so it's only natural for them to be affectionate with each other..."

Before the words could leave his lips, the two looks he received were so sharp like knives that Finley swallowed nervously and dared not continue.

He deliberately made his breathing very quiet, trying to minimize his presence so

he wouldn't become a target for others to vent their anger.

Finally, after quite some time, Jonathan came downstairs, but Rose was nowhere to be seen.

Clover looked at him, noticing that

his face was glowing with

embarrassment. His expression became even more displeased. "Aren't you supposed to be the dignified Jonathan Finch? Isat your goal to just sit around doing nothing all day, stuck here like this..."

"Clover..."

Jonathan suddenly called out, causing Clover to nearly bite his tongue mid- sentence.

He looked at Jonathan with a face full of shock and fear. He... what did he call

him?

Clover? Why would he call his name in that tone?

Clover wanted to spit out his disgust.

But before he could take any action, he saw that the shameless Jonathan was

already greeting Elijah with the utmost respect, even bowing deeply.

His attitude was extremely humble.

He then said, "Please wait a moment. I'm going to make dinner."

He turned and headed toward the kitchen.

Clover couldn't help but exclaim, "Dinner? He knows it's dinner time? It's so late.

Has Rose even had lunch yet?"

Clearly, she hadn't!

Jonathan kept on bothering Rose... How annoying!

From start to finish of the commotion, Elijah didn't say anything.

Jonathan took the initiative to cook dinner, and he prepared a variety of dishes He made sure to include something that Rose liked something Clover enjoyed, and a dish that Elijah preferred.

Rose was woken up by the tempting aroma of food. She felt hungry.

Her stomach let out a rumbling noise as she hurried downstairs in her pajamas.

When she reached the living room, she saw Clover and Elijah.

They met each other's gaze.

Rose was startled. How could she have forgotten that they come every day?

She remembered that they were supposed to come over, but what did Jonathan

say during their intimate moments?

"Father-in-law and Clover don't usually arrive that early, and even if they docome, Finley will look after them. Whenever they visit, they only stay for a short while and cant stay too long

This location of this place was a secret.

Whenever they came here, they had to be careful to avoid being noticed by

others.

Later, she felt so exhausted that, although she only intended to rest her eyes for a

moment, she unexpectedly fell asleep. Meanwhile, outside, the sky was beginning to darken...

"Ah, Dad, Clover..." Rose felt extremely awkward.

She quickly ran upstairs to change into a new outfit, wishing she could hide

forever. She even stalled on purpose, but unexpectedly, Clover came up and knocked on the door.

"Come out! It's time to eat!"

Rose could only step out, eat her dinner, and face everything with courage.
