The smile on Jonathan's face visibly stiffened. As they descended the stairs, they ran into Miles leaning against the wall, seemingly waiting. With just a look into his eyes, Jonathan realized Miles had known that both of them were on the rooftop and had not interrupted them. "Miles, I'm going to the Finch Manor with him."

When Rose informed Miles about where they would be heading, Jonathan had expected Miles to object. However, Miles handed Rose a woman's coat instead. "It's chilly at night. Wear this."

"Thanks, Miles."

Even after they got into the car, Jonathan kept replaying the scene in his mind. He had a vague feeling that something had changed between Rose and Miles.

He remembered that Miles had always harbored romantic feelings for Rose, but the look in Miles' eyes seemed genuinely like the love of an older brother instead.

Cyrus' birthday was ongoing at the Finch Manor, but this day held no particular significance for Eleanor. The annual birthday banquet was just an opportunity for the Finches to interact with other prominent families in Regalia.

The old Eleanor had no interest in these social events and refused to attend the art exhibition. She was supposed to go to bed early, but Jonathan hurrying Ezra to the hospital couldn't escape her notice.

She was informed by a phone call and summoned back to the Finch Manor. Both the art exhibition and birthday banquet were abruptly ended due to the sudden incident.

At this moment, the Finch Manor seemed to have fallen into deep sleep. The entire scene was eerily quiet and serene. Each family member was in their own room, but none of them could sleep except for Eleanor. They listened attentively for any sounds outside as if not wanting to miss out on any incident that could take place. Finally, the sound of a car engine startled them and woke the entire family. "He's here!"

Bella ran eagerly to the window to draw the drapes. From her angle, she could see Jonathan's car parked outside the manor.

There was a flash of excitement in her eyes. "He's here! Jonathan's back!"

Sitting on the couch, Yosef put out his cigarette. He was expecting a good show since Jonathan was here but...
