You Can't Hurt Her
You Can't Hurt Her
Anastasia chased after Jonathan all obsessed. The manager had heard rumors from Regalia's friends that she was attracted to him.
In this situation, the manager didn't dare to move forward. He even turned around quietly for fear of being
seen.
When he turned around again, they were gone. He breathed a sigh of relief and hoped Rose already left the hotel. Otherwise, it would be over if he got involved in trouble.
Thinking of this possibility, he couldn't help but shudder. He clasped his hands and muttered something. Suddenly, the elevator opened.
When he saw Rose, he felt he would be doomed. For a moment, he planned to lure her away. But when she glanced over coldly, he couldn't even move.
"Where's Jonathan?" she asked as she passed him.
He was stunned for a moment. He should answer he knew nothing, but he subconsciously pointed in a direction. That was where they went just now.
"Thanks."
She strode toward the direction he pointed. Not long after, she saw Jonathan. The garden hall was an open space. She could see what was going on inside through its hollow-carved windows.
In the garden hall, he looked indifferent and exuded a chilliness, as if he wanted to stay away from the person he met.
He didn't say a word or pay attention to the people present. The reason why he came here today was just to deal with his father.
Anastasia looked at his indifference and felt an inexplicable jealousy. She had seen his enthusiasm in front of Rose. His indifference at this time was what he looked like most of the time.
For a moment, she didn't know whether that was the real him. Only the real him would appear in front of Rose.
But she was very sure of one thing. He would only be special to Rose. That was the most painful fact!
She glanced at him and then at the other person present. In an instant, she waved away the trace of jealousy and tried to break the weird atmosphere with a smile.
"Jon, it's rare for Madam Lizzie to come to Aquastead. Let's have tea. I'll arrange dinner later. Let's Welcome Madam Lizzie."
As she spoke, she reached for his arm. But he avoided her. She stiffened slightly, but it was only for a moment. She acted as if nothing had happened.
Then, she walked to the woman sitting on the chair, saying coquettishly, "Madam Lizzie, don't blame him. He's always like this."
The woman named Madam Lizzie had an elegant smile. She was in her 40's, but was well-maintained and looked like she was in her 30's. She looked at him kindly.
You Can't Hurt Her
"How could I blame him? Mr. Jonathan, I know you don't want to see me. But after all, I'm your elder. The Finches asked me to come here." Elder? He finally showed something other than indifference, but it was sarcasm. He found a random chair and sat down without any respect.
"I know what he asked you to do. Go back and tell him. I'm the one in charge of the Finches now, not him. If he has any thoughts, put them away!"
The person he was talking about was his father. And the Lizzie Quinn in front of him was his father's wife. His tone was unkind, but she didn't seem to care. She continued to smile. "You misunderstood your father. He's satisfied with Rose Shaffer. When he knew that you were preparing for the wedding, he asked me to come over and meet Ms. Shaffer ...' "No need!"
Before she could finish speaking, he interrupted her.
His eyes were sharp and he unabashedly warned, "None of you can hurt Rose!"
He became gloomy, and she hurriedly comforted him.
"You misunderstood. How would we hurt her? But as your elders, we should be involved in your marriage. The Finches are a big family. We can't neglect her. Besides, if we don't come forward, what if she misunderstands that you don't care enough about her? She has to enter the Finches grandly. Then, no one will talk nonsense when she is in Regalia. That's what Mrs. Finch Senior means."
He reduced his resistance when he heard it was Mrs. Finch Senior's idea. His marriage to Rose had always been between them. Even if the Finches disagreed, they couldn't stop him.
But he never thought that even with him protecting her, he might not be able to respond to her if she cared about the Finches' attitude and the opinions around her.
His expression darkened slightly, and he said nothing. He softened his attitude a lot.
When Lizzie saw that, she immediately said, "I know you don't believe me. I'm just here to convey the message. You still have the final say on your wedding. You can organize it, and everything will be according to your wishes. Mrs. Finch Senior will send people to participate in the preparations, but..."
She paused, then met his gaze.
"About meeting Ms. Shaffer ..."
"You don't have to see her!" he refused.
As if she had expected his answer, she sighed sadly.
"It doesn't matter if you don't let me see her. We haven't had a meal for a long time. Let's eat!"
This time, she didn't ask for his opinion. He wasn't in the mood to have dinner with her. But thinking of something, he didn't refuse.
Outside the hall, Rose looked at the people inside. They seemed to be talking about something important, but she couldn't hear it. She could only see that he was unhappy.
You Can't Hurt Her
Suddenly, she saw him receive a phone call. Anastasia and another woman came out of the hall. She felt anxious as if she was afraid of being caught peeking. She almost instinctively hid in the restroom. "Madam Lizzie, Jon is good. Don't blame him."
Anastasia's voice mentioned Jonathan affectionately.
She frowned. The voice seemed to come from the restroom. In anxiety, she entered the toilet and heard the sound of high heels entering the restroom.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
"Of course, I won't blame him. It's just that he caused such a big fuss this time. What if the Finches insist on dealing with this matter? He has never been interested in women. Why has he become like this since he got to Aquastead?"
