Honey, You're a Billionaire by Chandler Solar

Chapter 574 Aiming for Her

Indeed, the drawing was remarkable.

The sketch captured Rose's eyes and brows so vividly that they appeared almost lifelike. However, Jonathan couldn't help but wonder if it was appropriate for Ezra to sketch another man's woman like this openly.

Despite the subtle edge in Jonathan's comment, Ezra remained unfazed. The soft, rhythmic scratch of the pencil against paper filled the room as he continued to sketch, completely engrossed in his work. Jonathan narrowed his eyes. He had always known about Ezra's love for drawing, a talent inherited from their mother. Ezra had a natural affinity for colors and lines, and as a child, he would often sit beside Nancy, sketching while she painted. Those moments stirred complex emotions in Jonathan. He loved the peacefulness of the scene but resented that he wasn't the one sharing that connection with their mother.

After her death, Ezra had put down his pencil, seemingly for good-or so Jonathan had thought. To see him drawing again was a pleasant surprise.

The room was cloaked in tranquil silence, punctuated only by the rhythmic, soothing sound of the pencil dancing across the paper.

Jonathan settled onto the couch. As Rose's likeness took shape on the page, Ezra's hand finally came to a rest, and Jonathan broke the comfortable silence.

"Do you want to see her?"

Ezra's hand froze as he put away his sketch. For the first time in a while, a ripple of emotion swept through his eyes.

Despite his self-imposed isolation, he was acutely aware of the events happening in the outside world. Rose had found her biological father, taken the helm of Young Group, and transformed into someone far different from the Rose he had known. He wondered whether she had time to see him now or if she even wanted to. A sense of unease crept into his heart. Just then, Jonathan's voice sounded again.

"Cyrus is looking for you. He probably wants you to attend Lizzie's birthday banquet. Rose will be there."

Ezra's gaze shifted to Jonathan. Since his last episode, he had been under Jonathan's "protection", kept at a distance from the Finch family.

Jonathan clearly didn't want him to get too involved with them, so he couldn't understand why the man had invited him to the birthday banquet.

Ezra's questioning gaze remained locked on Jonathan for a moment before he turned away, dismissing his doubts.

"I'll be there," he said simply. With that, he resumed putting away his sketch.

Ezra's frame had visibly thinned, a detail Jonathan noted with a furrowed brow. It was impossible not to understand the implications behind Ezra's simple words.
