Honey, You're a Billionaire by Chandler Solar

Chapter 409 Slipping Away "It's all my fault. If I hadn't taken you to the bar last night, the bad guy wouldn't have taken you away..." Yvonne cried in remorse.

At the Young Estate, a hint of guilt surfaced in Miles' heart as he sat on the couch and watched Yvonne bawl. It even seemed that Yvonne wished she could bear all the pain for Rose. Gabriel sat beside him and glanced at him, looking a little diffident. He was the one who said Rose was taken away by a bad guy after Miles attached the bad guy label to Jonathan. "Rosie, where are you? Say something..." Yvonne's heart was in knots.

Yvonne hadn't stopped speaking in an anxious voice since the call was connected. Rose finally grabbed the chance to speak.

"I'm fine-" "Rosie, it's all my fault..." Rose immediately comforted her. "I'm fine. Yvonne, you... calm down. Just calm down..." Yvonne was taken aback. "You're fine? Is that true? Did the bad guy go easy on you?" She was still worried that Rose had said that to appease her concerns.

Rose eyed the "bad guy", who was in a deep sleep. "He... isn't really a bad guy..." Her response stunned Yvonne. Rose whispered in a lowered voice, "Are you at the Young Estate? Stay there. I'll be back soon." With that, Rose quickly hung up.

As Yvonne stared at her phone, Rose's words echoed in her mind. She looked suspiciously at the two men present.

"Rosie toldthat the man isn't a bad guy..." But the two of them had clearly said that a bad guy had taken Rose away! Miles averted his gaze and masked his guilt by picking up the cup of coffee from the table. He took a sip and asked, "What else did she say?" Recalling Rose's words, Yvonne looked at them with innocent eyes and told the truth without holding back. "She also said to wait for her and that she'd be back soon." In other words, was Rose coming back now? Miles breathed a sigh of relief. The Finches had kept Jonathan occupied last night. He should have returned to his place by this time, and Rose should be back as well.

Rose stared at the ceiling. In the few minutes after hanging up the phone, she had tried countless times to slip out of Jonathan's arms, but there seemed to be a string connecting their bodies. Jonathan would hug her tighter with every subtle movement. She was sweating profusely after several attempts. All of a sudden, she noticed the pillow beside her...

Ten minutes later, Rose successfully replaced herself with the pillow. She stood by the bed and watched Jonathan hug the pillow, even nuzzling it.

She felt a pang of guilt at the thought of his reaction once he woke up. But guilt aside, she had to leave. Yvonne was still at the Young Estate.

"Ha ha ha. Sweet dreams." Rose laughed dryly and offered her most sincere blessings to the sleeping man.

She cautiously moved and tried not to make any noise that might wake him. Even after leaving the villa, she continued to tiptoe and frequently glanced back.

Ezra had specially followed Jonathan over. He waited for a long tin the car before seeing a sneaky figure. The scene made him smile.

He thought he would have to wait much longer for Rose, but to his surprise, it only took two hours. Watching her cautiously look back, her careful demeanor indicated she was sneaking away! Ezra raised an eyebrow. He grabbed a mask and a baseball cap and walked straight toward Rose after getting out of the car.

Rose repeatedly looked back to make sure Jonathan was asleep and Finley wasn't staying on guard. She finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She had walked a fair distance, so she no longer needed to be cautious. She laughed in triumph, withdrew her gaze, and planned to grab a cab back to the Young Estate.

But as soon as she turned around, she saw someone standing in front of her. Rose stopped abruptly in panic, but it was too late. She noticed the person too late, and inertia made her bump into him.

"Ow..." Rose's nose stung with pain. Her nose now took another hit from having had a nosebleed in the morning. She quickly checked if it was bleeding again.

Luckily... It was just pain with no blood. But the person she bumped into...

"Hi, what a coincidence!" Before Rose could scold the man for not watching where he was going, he spoke.

His voice was clean and pleasant. She could sense his good intentions just from his voice, and was that a "what a coincidence" she heard? Did they know each other? Rose looked up and examined the person in front of her. Baseball cap, mask, trendy clothes. There seemed to be such a person in her memory but...

Rose's gaze fell on his face. Ezra pulled down his mask as if reading her thoughts, revealing his stunningly handsface.

"You... you... you... You're Ezra Turner!" Rose recognized him as Ezra Turner, the most handsface in the entertainment industry.

"What a coincidence, do you live here too?" Rose pointed behind her.

It was a high-end neighborhood according to her observations. As a top star in the entertainment industry, Ezra had the financial capability to live here. Was Jonathan neighbors with Ezra? Ezra looked around. Living here didn't seem too bad either. He could buy a place and move in. He soon withdrew his thoughts.

He stared at Rose and pretended to casually ask, "Do you... also live here?" "No, no, no. How could I live here? Just a... friend lives here." Rose hurriedly waved her hand.

"Friend? What kind of a friend?" Ezra's eyes were hard to read.

Rose pictured Jonathan in her mind and seriously pondered over the question, but she couldn't categorize him even after a while. Luckily, Ezra didn't press for an answer. "Are you leaving? I'll give you a ride," Ezra offered. He pointed to a car parked not far away and added before Rose could respond, "It's hard to grab a cab around here."

It was indeed hard to grab a cab around here, so Rose didn't reject the om kind offer. The fact that Ezra was driving in person took Rose aback. Surprisingly, they had a lot to talk about on the way. Rose got out of the car at the gate of the Young Estate. Before she left, they exchanged numbers.

Ezra watched Rose walk away until she was out of sight. He felt a bit dazed staring at the number he had just received. Setting aside Jonathan, he found he liked Rose!

Jonathan slept until noon. Before opening his eyes, he instinctively reached for the "person" in Giamms. He opened his eyes when sensing something was off and saw a pillow in his embrace. His face darkened instantly. "Rose!" He didn't need to think to know it was her doing. She had sneaked away while he was asleep and used the pillow as a stand-in! Just as he was feeling irritated, Leonard called, clearly catching him in a bad mood.

"What is it? Speak!" His tone was unfriendly.

Finley's body shivered. A chill ran through him, but he had to muster the courage. "Mr. Finch, the sponsorship for Regalia House..." X
