Honey, You're a Billionaire by Chandler Solar

Chapter 549 Will Not Leave

The office was deserted, and Harriette couldn't help but feel a pang of disappointment. Just as she was about to leave, her gaze landed on an invitation lying on the desk. The words "Lerain Group" were embossed in gold, standing out boldly on the card.

It was the invitation to that night's banquet.

"With this invitation in hand, I'd be able to attend the event..." she thought.

Harriette hesitated for a moment before finally picking up the invitation.

After being dragged out of Jonathan's ward by Emily that morning, Rose returned to the room only to find that Jonathan was no longer there.

If Leonard hadn't arrived in time to inform her that Jonathan had woken up and left to handle some matters, she might have fainted from the shock.

"I can take you to him if you want to see him, Mrs. Finch," Leonard offered. Without any outsiders present, his use of "Mrs. Finch" came naturally. Rose would have rejected the title in the past, but now she accepted it without hesitation.

Thanking Leonard, she followed him out of the hospital. As Leonard drove, he spoke of Jonathan, recounting how he had risen to become the head of the Finch family, his words filled with admiration and respect. Rose listened intently, learning about the sides of Jonathan she had never known.

"Mrs. Finch, Mr. Finch treats you differently. No. What I mean is that in your presence, he becomes someone different-someone real, with warmth and vulnerability," he said.

Leonard's voice echoed in the car, and as Rose thought of Jonathan, a soft smile played on her lips.

Leonard noticed the smile through the rearview mirror, and a glimmer of joy lit up his eyes. Rose's expression spoke volumes. It was evident that she held deep feelings for Jonathan.

As they drew nearer to their destination, he found the courage to speak, though his voice was barely above a whisper.

"Mrs. Finch, you're more important to him than his own life. He can't lose you, so please... don't leave him."

Rose didn't reply immediately, and Leonard assumed she hadn't heard him.

When the car came to a halt, he swiftly got out to open the door for her. As she passed him, she finally spoke, her voice quiet yet firm.

"I know. I won't."
