Chapter 591 Not Ezra But Jonathan

As the newcomer gradually drew closer, everyone caught sight of him.

Upon recognizing him, nearly everyone froze in place. It wasn't until he was right in front of them that they realized they were blocking his way. They quickly stepped back to let him pass. The newcomer was none other than Ezra.

His presence prompted a long, perplexed stare from those gathered. Everyone needed a moment to absorb and confirm that it was indeed Ezra standing before them.

But if Ezra was here, then who was the man in the corner with Rose?

Confusion swept through the room, leaving everyone, especially Lizzie, completely dumbfounded.

The second she saw Ezra, the smug look in her eyes vanished, replaced by a single question that kept echoing in her mind.

"What is Ezra doing here? This is not where he was supposed to be! Shouldn't he have been with Rose? If Ezra stood here now, then who is with Rose?"

Before Lizzie could process it further, Ezra's voice cut through the eerie silence of the greenhouse, his words like a haunting echo in her ears.

"Grandma, I do believe I'll be a good husband someday, but..." Ezra paused, his features etched with a mix of puzzlement and defiance. When he spoke again, his tone was resolute and clear. "What does that have to do with Ms Shaffer's happiness?" His innocent expression made him seem like a child wrongly accused of some misdeed.

Eleanor finally snapped out of her daze and looked at the towering figure before her. It really was Ezra!

"Ezra..." His question echoed in her mind. "What does that have to do with Ms Shaffer's happiness?"

Indeed, with Ezra standing right here, he couldn't possibly be the man with Rose. So, Rose's happiness was entirely unrelated to him. But if not Ezra, then who?

A sense of unease crept over Eleanor for the first time.

"Could the opportunity that's almost within the Finch family's grasp really be slipping away just like that?" she mused.

Eleanor couldn't help but fear what the truth in the corner might reveal. She dreaded that unveiling the mystery would lead to bitter disappointment. Nevertheless, the truth inevitably had to surface.

"Mr. Xanth, Grandma..." Just then, a deep and resonant voice cut through the tense atmosphere, laced with impatience and displeasure.

Eleanor jolted, as did everyone else. All eyes immediately turned to the man in the corner who had spoken. The voice had come from the man shielding Rose.
