Jonathan's tone was laced with sarcasm. Rose felt his anger and helplessness, but she was unsure how to comfort him. She reached out and grasped his hand, the warmth in her palms seemingly injecting comfort into his cold heart. Jonathan turned to look at Rose, almost instinctively gripping her hand tighter. He silently recited the oath he had long made. As for the past...
He withdrew his gaze. The warmth of Rose's palm eased the bitterness in his voice when he spoke of the past.
"After Ezra injured himself with a blade, I found that the blade came from a helper in the Finch Manor. When I interrogated him, he clammed up. I'm still suspecting Lizzie..."
Lizzie... Rose was reminded of the seemingly gentle and kind woman.
"Is she the woman Mr. Finch fell in love with when Nancy had Ezra?"
When Jonathan spoke of the past, Rose noticed he would try to avoid addressing Cyrus. She knew the enmity between them and avoided referring to Cyrus by his name.
To her surprise, Jonathan answered, "No."
If it wasn't Lizzie, who was it?
Just as Rose was puzzled, Jonathan continued, "The woman is long gone. Grandma drove her away with a sum of money, and she vanished in Regalia. But even so, there will always be a second woman when Cyrus no longer loves her. "Cyrus was never a faithful man and Lizzie..." Jonathan sneered. "She was once my tutor. She was a university student, and Grandma thought she was gentle and sensible.
"To her, Lizzie knew her place and excelled in her studies, so she was allowed to continue teaching me.
"But we didn't know that soon after she entered the Finch Manor, her thoughts were on Cyrus.
"She hid it well until she managed to hook up with Cyrus. Everyone else was unaware of their relationship. Later..."
Jonathan refused to recall the sordid details between the couple, but Rose understood that Lizzie eventually became Cyrus' second wife. The couple lived harmoniously and lovingly as the world saw them.
Looking at Jonathan, Rose realized that she had thought losing Celeste and not receiving Jamie's love was tragic enough, but Jonathan seemed to have gone through a lot more than she did.
