Chapter 415 Step Up


The voice was loud enough for many to hear, echoing the unspoken thoughts of those in attendance. All eyes once again turned to the handsome man on stage.

Those familiar with his identity broke out in cold sweat, for they recognized him as Jonathan. To disrespect him so openly could only incur the wrath of this revered figure.

However, Jonathan showed no signs of anger. His world seemed to revolve solely around the woman beside him as he gazed at her tenderly.

"I am the most important person in her life," he declared before adding with equal certainty, "and she is the most important person in mine."

Rose felt her heart flutter under Jonathan's passionate gaze, her face flushing with heat and embarrassment. Almost instinctively, she averted her eyes, her bashfulness evident to the onlookers.

When Miles confessed, "She is the most important person in my life", her reaction was different. The contrast made it apparent, even without words, that Jonathan was the one who truly held a special place in her heart. As for Miles, he kept a smile on his face and maintained his gentle gaze, but a hint of something else seemed to flicker in his eyes.

Amidst the crowd's buzz, a voice cried, "Wait, isn't she Mr. Young Senior's adopted granddaughter?"

"Yes, I remember now! She's from Aquastead. I saw her in the news at Mr. Young Senior's funeral!" another exclaimed.

As people recalled Rose's conspicuous attendance at Oliver's funeral, it became apparent that her background might be more intricate and mysterious than initially assumed.

Soft murmurs rippled through the crowd, starting as hushed whispers and gradually growing louder as more people began to recognize Rose. The atmosphere shifted as understanding dawned upon the onlookers.

"No wonder he mentioned she was Miles' sister. Turns out, it's true, but something is striking about this man's presence. I wonder which unassuming, talented young figure he might be..." someone commented.

Speculation filled the air below the stage. Seemingly oblivious to the chatter, Jonathan focused solely on Rose as if she were the only one in his sight.

His unveiled affection made Rose's heart race. Unaccustomed to such tension, she subtly shot Jonathan several warning glances, urging him not to overdo it.
