Chapter 559 Intolerable

Elijah's words of approval carried none of the warmth one might expect. His face remained stony and devoid of joy.

As he patted Jonathan's arm, he added, "Then I'll be waiting for the grand wedding you're going to prepare!"

Even with their official registration, it all depended on Rose's satisfaction. If Jonathan couldn't provide her with lifelong happiness, Elijah would never consider their marriage valid. With that, he turned and walked away.

Jonathan remained rooted to the spot until Leonard approached, curiosity evident on his face. "Mr. Finch, what did Mr. Xanth say to you just now?"

He had observed the exchange from a distance. While Elijah had been smiling, there was an icy aura about him. It was colder than anything Leonard had ever seen from Jonathan. Jonathan glanced at him, his expression unreadable. "Do you really want to know?"

Leonard nodded eagerly, waiting to hear the details. However, instead of satisfying his curiosity, Jonathan said, "Then go ask him yourself!", before walking away.

Leonard was left standing there, frozen in place from his curiosity.

"Ask him myself? That was the legendary Elijah of Lerain Group! How would I ever get the chance to ask him anything? I'd only been lucky enough to see him today thanks to Mr. Finch-or rather, thanks to Mrs. Finch!" he thought. "Aren't you coming?" Jonathan called out from ahead, pulling Leonard out of his thoughts. The latter quickly caught up.

Finley had been waiting in the car for a while. When Jonathan got in, he asked, "Where to, Mr. Finch?"

"Home," Jonathan replied, the meaning clear to Finley.

"Got it, Mr. Finch," Finley said with a knowing smile.

The "home" referred to the new residence Jonathan and Rose would soon share. Although Rose wasn't with Jonathan now, Finley was certain it wouldn't be long before they returned together.

after their car pulled away, Jonathan's phone rang. The caller ID read "Grandma". Jonathan's brow furrowed, and he waited until just before the call was
