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. "Wwifey...."
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 tRose 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 | just called you, and you didn't respond..." Jonathan expressed his dissatisfaction in a somewhat playful
manner.
Rose quickly cup with a reason, asking, "Did you call for me? | didn't hear
you. Maybe | was too focused on my thoughts just now."
"What are you thinking about?" Jonathan asked inquisitively.
Rose had no retort. She was thinking about how to escape from his clutches!
But how could she tell the truth?
Earlier, she glared at him with an intimidating look, and he pretended to be annoyed, saying he would punish
her. The method of punishment was something quite adult in nature, and once started, it becquite
irresistible.

She learned her lesson since then!
She couldn't give him any excuse to "punish" her, so she had to behave herself.
"I was thinking of cooking something at noon and making something you love." This was considered being nice,
right?
During this time, when no one else was around, the two of them lived a simple life as a couple. Jonathan handled
all the cooking for the two of them, and his culinary skills improved rapidly.
Today, she decided to cook as a way to show her appreciation for him.
He was definitely looking forward to it!
But...
"You're being so good. Then.... | think | should give my wifey a nice reward," Jonathan whispered, his breath
reaching the back of Rose's ear.
With its strong sense of allure, it immediately made Rose freeze in place. Haha... This reward... She felt like this
reward might not be very decent. "Actually... Um..."
She meant to say that it was all right for her not to receive any reward. Before she could finish speaking, her
body lifted off the ground. In a moment of panic, she let out a surprised cry and quickly wrapped her arms
around Jonathan's neck.
This course of "initiative" was what gave Jonathan the slightest bit of satisfaction.
Jonathan smiled, and Rose looked at his face. It was exactly her type, but having her favorite type several times
a day was a bit much to handle!
"Dad and Clover are coming today." Rose's eyes sparkled with anticipation.
They were almost here, and Jonathan always had to consider the impact of even the smallest things, right?
Her smile seemed to beca bit forced soon after.
How could she forget that Jonathan stopped caring about those things a long tago?
Every tthey came, Jonathan would keep them waiting...
Rose's face turned bright red at the mere thought of the awkwardness she felt every tshe went downstairs
with Jonathan to face Elijah and Clover.
Yet the brilliant blush on her face captivated Jonathan, leaving him lost in thought. The desire in his eyes could
no longer be concealed. Soon, the room was filled with the warmth of intimate whispers.
Downstairs, Elijah and Clover had gone through several rounds of tea together. Clover couldn't hold back any
longer and glanced at Finley, who was standing nearby with an awkward expression, feeling really annoyed.
"Mr. Finch shouldn't be living here!" Clover, with nowhere else to vent his frustration, directed his discontent
toward Finley.
How long had they all been waiting?
Every tthey came, they ended up waiting.
Could Jonathan really not hold back a little?
Finley was being intensely stared at by two pairs of eyes, and he was feeling quite troubled inside.
Jonathan wasn't like this before. Who would have expected that in front of Rose, he would behave so
indiscreetly?
But...
"Mr. and Mrs. Finch are legally married, so it's only natural for them to be affectionate with each other..."
Before the words could leave his lips, the two looks he received were so sharp like knives that Finley swallowed
nervously and dared not continue.
He deliberately made his breathing very quiet, trying to minimize his presence so
he wouldn't beca target for others to vent their anger.
Finally, after quite stime, Jonathan cdownstairs, but Rose was nowhere to be seen.
Clover looked at him, noticing that
his face was glowing with
embarrassment. His expression beceven more displeased. "Aren't you supposed to be the dignified
Jonathan Finch? Isat your goal to just sit around doing nothing all day, stuck here like this..."
"Clover..."
Jonathan suddenly called out, causing Clover to nearly bite his tongue mid- sentence.
He looked at Jonathan with a face full of shock and fear. He... what did he call
him?
Clover? Why would he call his nin that tone?
Clover wanted to spit out his disgust.
But before he could take any action, he saw that the shameless Jonathan was
already greeting Elijah with the utmost respect, even bowing deeply.
His attitude was extremely humble.
He then said, "Please wait a moment. I'm going to make dinner."
He turned and headed toward the kitchen.
Clover couldn't help but exclaim, "Dinner? He knows it's dinner time? It's so late.
Has Rose even had lunch yet?"
Clearly, she hadn't!
Jonathan kept on bothering Rose... How annoying!
From start to finish of the commotion, Elijah didn't say anything.

Rose was woken up by the tempting aroma of food. She felt hungry.
Her stomach let out a rumbling noise as she hurried downstairs in her pajamas.
When she reached the living room, she saw Clover and Elijah.
They met each other's gaze.
Rose was startled. How could she have forgotten that they cevery day?
She remembered that they were supposed to cover, but what did Jonathan
say during their intimate moments?

This location of this place was a secret.
Whenever they chere, they had to be careful to avoid being noticed by
others.
Later, she felt so exhausted that, although she only intended to rest her eyes for a
moment, she unexpectedly fell asleep. Meanwhile, outside, the sky was beginning to darken...
"Ah, Dad, Clover..." Rose felt extremely awkward.
