Chapter 404 Take Her Home


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 question, she was puzzled. What was it that she liked?

Before she could ask, Jonathan had grabbed her wrist. Shocked and helpless, Rose felt her wrist being pulled forward and her hand pressed against his chest.

Through the thin layer of the shirt, the sensation underneath made Rose's mind go blank. She retracted her hand as if she had been scalded. Jonathan didn't stop her this time. Instead, he looked at her with a smile. "You..." She would have slapped him if it were in the past, but she wasn't repulsed by the man in front of her now.

Rose figured that Jonathan must have needed money so desperately that he considered her a cash cow. That might explain why he tried every means to seduce her.

"Forget it!" Rose didn't want to get involved with him any further.

She turned around to continue asking for directions, but no one was around even after she turned several corners. The private rooms in the bar were designed like a maze.

Jonathan followed her. He leaned slightly over and whispered in Rose's ear, "You still haven't given me your answer. Do you like it?"

Rose kept walking, but she couldn't hide her accelerating heartbeat and flushed face.

The man was like a persistent plaster who stuck to her. Since Rose couldn't shake him off, she had to confront him, "How much?" Jonathan frowned.
