Chapter 117 Let’s Meet Tonight
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 them went to a restaurant.
As it was still early for lunch, the place wasn’t too crowded. They didn’t choose a private room and instead found a corner seat, ordered their meals, and chatted.
Suddenly, a figure caught Rose’s attention.
“What’s going on?”
Miles followed her line of sight and turned to look, but he didn’t see anything unusual.
“Nothing… it’s just that I thought I saw someone know, but I must have been mistaken,” Rose replied, retracting her gaze.
However, that figure kept hovering in her mind. The person was wearing a black cap, a black mask, and a black leather jacket. He appeared to blend into the darkness completely. His figure felt similar to hers.
Then, she had a sudden realization, That person looked like the driver who had come to pick her up from the celebration dinner of the Nation Jewelry Design Award.
They didn’t exactly know each other, but it was still strange to see him here. She shook her head to clear her thoughts. Just a while later, the man walked over and took a seat behind
Miles.

He sat facing away from them, seemingly removing his mask. Rose took another curious glance but then turned her attention back to her conversation with Miles.
They conversed about the antique exhibition at the museum in the evening. Ezra had no intention of eavesdropping, but he had just encountered Rose as soon as he settled down in Aquastead,
It was truly fate. She was not even with Jonathan and instead, she was going to the museum It was truly fate. She was not even exhibition with Miles. He raised an intrigued eyebrow.
The last time he took Rose for a shopping trip, he unintentionally provoked Jonathan, who shamelessly used his authority to have him forcibly sent back to Regalia by the Azure Clan of the Finches.
Did Jonathan care that much about her? As a younger brother, he had to understand the woman his brother was interested in.
Therefore, he had come to Aquastead secretly, with no one aware of his presence. If he hadn’t come, he wouldn’t have known that Rose had such a close relationship with Miles.
He casually ordered some food. After finishing the meal, he left the restaurant ahead of them, Once outside the restaurant, he made a call to a local Aquastead brand that was seeking his endorsement.
“I’d like a ticket for tonight’s antique exhibition at Aqaustead Museum. If you have one we can finalize the endorsement contract tomorrow.”
The brand was a major enterprise in Aquastead. Obtaining tickets for the antique exhibition was not a difficult task.
Conveniently, the chairman of the company had procured two tickets for his daughter, which he had yet to give out.
He readily agreed, “Very well, Mr. Turner. Where are you right now? I’ll have the ticket sent to you immediately.”
Ezra then provided an address. Half an hour later, the ticket was in his possession.
Glancing back at the two people who were dining and conversing with smiles in the restaurant, he raised an eyebrow and smiled.
“Rose, let’s meet tonight!”
Inside the restaurant, for some reason, Rose had a fleeting sensation of an eerie presence passing through her body. It was as if someone was watching her.
Almost instinctively, she scanned her surroundings but found nothing out of the ordinary. However, when her gaze settled on the booth behind Miles, she couldn’t help but furrow her
brow.

When did the person with the black cap leave? Meanwhile, in Zenwood Gardens, Jonathan was fixated on the empty room. He had searched the entire house, but there was no sign of
Rose.
Her belongings were already packed, suggesting she was planning to move out. After a moment of disappointment, he reminded himself that these items were probably packed before last night.
He had resolved after last night that he would not let Rose leave him under any
circumstances.
Furrowing his brows, he called Finley and asked, “Ask someone working at Celeste Jewels if Rose is still in the company.”
If she was at the company, he could still deliver her lunch to her.
After giving Finley some time to inquire, he was surprised when he promptly replied, “Ms. Shaffer was at the company in the morning, but she should no longer be there.”
At lunchtime, she must have gone out for a meal with Miles.
