Chapter 483 Someone's Coming


This was something neither Lizzie nor Bella wanted to see. Bella was the first to speak up. "Anna, go and find them."

Anna immediately turned around and retraced her steps. "Mr. Finch? Ms. Shaffer?" she tentatively called out as she searched.

When the sound reached Rose's ears from behind the floral wall, she froze. "Someone's coming!"

At this moment, her body was pressed closely against Jonathan's. She instinctively tried to push him away, but his hand on her back held her tighter. The footsteps grew nearer outside the floral wall. "Jonathan!" Rose's voice carried a trace of urgency.

If anyone from the Finch family saw her so intimately intertwined with Jonathan, she figured that she would face more scrutiny and attacks from Yara, Anastasia, and the rest of the family tonight. The more nervous she got, the tighter Jonathan held her. With a mischievous tone, his voice came from atop her head as he said, "Call me something else."

Rose was at a loss for words before she eventually decided to give in. It was just a change of address, right?

"Jon..." Surely that would suffice.

To her surprise, Jonathan frowned. "That's still formal."

Was that still too formal for him? Rose forced a smile and tried again. "Jo... Jonny?" That wouldn't sound formal, would it?

However, Jonathan visibly stiffened, and he abruptly pulled away from her. Just as Rose thought the nickname "Jonny" finally pleased him to let her go, she met his cold, intense gaze. Only one thought crossed her mind-the nickname hadn't satisfied him at all! What should she call him then?

As Rose pondered, Jonathan leaned in as if to punish her. His handsome face magnified in her vision, and in the next moment, she felt his lips on hers... Her mind went blank.

The sudden pain on her lips snapped her back to reality. When realization struck her, Jonathan had already released her before she could struggle or cry out.
