Jonathan's voice clearly expressed dissatisfaction.

Rose felt a bit uneasy. She focused on keeping her composure, appearing as though she hadn't heard anything.

Nearby, Jonathan, sitting on the couch, furrowed his brows.

Something felt off, very off.

He had been watching Rose for a long time, and usually, she should have felt his

gaze by now and looked back at him. Then there would be a moment of eye

contact, which would set the stage for him to make his next move.

But...

Was she not aware of being watched?

Jonathan tried winking and making himself noticeable, but she still didn't respond.

Something felt off, really off!

So, he had no choice but to try a different approach. "Wifey...."

He called out to Rose, but she still didn't respond.

Jonathan furrowed his brow even more. Was it because he wasn't loud enough?

"Wifey..." he called out again.

There was still no response. Was his charm not strong enough?

"Wifey..." he called out again.

Every time Rose heard him call out "wifey," she felt her heart clench a bit. She knew that whenever he used that term, it usually meant trouble. But if she continued to pretend not to hear him, it would seem way too obvious.

Rose wanted to run away. So, she did.

She carefully managed her gaze to avoid looking at Jonathan while heading toward the door.

Just as she reached the doorway, she was startled by the man who suddenly appeared behind her.

"Wifey, where are you going?" Jonathan asked, even though he already knew the answer. He wrapped his arms around Rose's waist from behind, stopping her in her tracks.

Rose, trying to calm herself, replied, "No, I'm not going anywhere."

"But I just called you, and you didn't respond..." Jonathan expressed his dissatisfaction in a somewhat playful manner.

Rose quickly came up with a reason, asking, "Did you call for me? I didn't hear

you. Maybe I was too focused on my thoughts just now."
