Honey, You're a Billionaire by Chandler Solar

Chapter 539 His Wife

Although Elijah's tone sounded light-hearted, it was filled with guilt and remorse.

Rose naturally noticed that and comforted him. "Perhaps one day, you'll find her!"

Her words caught him off guard. When he looked at her eyes, he was in a trance. "You're right. Perhaps I'll find her one day!"

But would there be such a day? Elijah took a deep breath.

"Miss, it's easy to get lost while searching for your friend on a mountain with so many branching paths. What if you encounter another man like that guy? It's dangerous out here. "If you trust me, why don't I keep you company during your search?"

Elijah dismissed his thoughts. For some reason, he didn't want to separate from this girl.

"Will that take up much of your time?" Rose naturally trusted him. The more she looked at him, the more she found him amicable.

He laughed. "Of course not. I'm free the whole day. Plus, I came here to find my wife. During her time in Regalia, we met here once. It'd be great if I could see her again."

His gaze was undeniably affectionate when he mentioned his wife. Rose's eyes once again caught him in a daze, but soon enough, he returned to normal.

The pair headed down the path, not going further up but backtracking instead. They planned to try their luck by taking a different branching path.

During their trek, the two chatted happily. When he mentioned his last name, Rose instantly thought of Clover but didn't overthink it.

Elijah told her about the stories of his wife, and through his words, she could imagine his wife was a stunning lady.

After trying a couple of different branching paths, they found no sign of Harriette. However, she noticed there were people at every branching path who made her feel uneasy. But when they saw her with Elijah, they seemed surprised. "The person we knocked out earlier might not have been here by chance." Elijah suddenly pivoted the topic away from his wife.
