He Wants Her Heart
After the crowd dispersed, he saw Rose's profile. He originally wanted to look for her at noon. Unexpectedly, she came over. She was wearing a lavender dress, her hair was shawl-length.
Right now, she folded her arms in front of her chest, as if she had won a fight as she looked at Nixon disdainfully. Then, she suddenly turned around.
The smile on Jonathan's face froze slightly. He turned his back almost subconsciously.
After making sure that Rose didn't see him, he ordered Finley, "Have someone ask Rose to come up."
With that, he turned around and got on the elevator. Nixon was about to explode with anger. Upon seeing that Rose was about to leave, he chased after him unwillingly.
*Rose, you
As he was about to call her, someone walked up to Rose and said, "Ms. Shaffer, Mr. Finch asked you. to come up."
Nixon recognized him as a well-respected executive of Finch Group. Did he come to pick up Rose in person? He glanced at Rose, not daring to make a fuss.
It was the second time Rose came to Finch Group. She was brought to the reception room with the screen again.
Unlike last time, she felt a strong sense of oppression when she entered the reception room, she felt peaceful this time. She couldn't help but wonder if the person behind the screen was Mr. Finch.
"Mr. Finch?" she called out as if to confirm.
Behind the screen, Jonathan narrowed his eyes.
"Are you looking for me for something?"
He lowered his voice, trying to cease the coldness so that Rose didn't reject it. As soon as he spoke, Rose was certain that he was Mr. Finch.
With that indifference and condescension, his image appeared vividly before her eyes even through the screen. Rose got straight to the point.
"Last time at Young Estate, you promised to help me investigate the matter. Has there been any progress?"
"Yes."
"Really?"
Rose stood up abruptly and strode into the screen. She was so excited that when she came back to her senses, she was stunned for a moment when she saw the back of his head. She felt that he turned around on purpose as if hiding from her.

"Cough..."
Jonathan coughed lightly as if to hide something.
Then, he said, "You don't have to be excited. In the car accident that year, the driver who caused the accident was sentenced to ten years. He was released half a year ago. I've let my people investigate the whereabouts of that person."
Rose's head was buzzing. She couldn't help but replay his words in her mind-that person was released half a year ago.
Back then, Jamie and Louie told her that it was raining heavily on the day of the car accident. The collision between the two cars was just an accident.
She didn't even think about the other party in the car accident after that, even though he might have the answer she wanted.
"How long will it take to find it?"
Her voice trembled slightly. She suddenly felt cold. Even with his back to her, Jonathan felt something strange about her.
"You go back first. I'll contact you if there's more news."
Jonathan wanted to comfort her, but he found that it was inconvenient for him to do so with the identity of Mr. Finch. The only way was to let her leave. He could comfort her with the identity of her husband. However, Rose misunderstood. She remembered their conversation at Young Estate that day.
She stared at the back of his head and asked subconsciously, "What do you want?"
He wouldn't help her for no reason. If he regarded her as Harriette's stand-in, his aim must be her. Her eyes trembled as she clenched her fists.
After a long silence, she said, "If you want me
"Rosel" Jonathan interrupted her.
He knew what she wanted to say. He did want her, but not in the way she thought.
"What I want is not you."
What he wanted was her heart. However, he couldn't make it clear. Rose was stunned for a moment, then she breathed a sigh of relief. Then what do you want me to do?"
She always felt that since it was an exchange, she would always feel uneasy if he didn't make it clear what was going to be exchanged.
Only by knowing what he wanted could she be sure that he would investigate it for her.
Understanding her thoughts, Jonathan fell silent for a moment before he said, "I request that when I want to see you, I can see you immediately."
Rose was stunned for a moment. This was what he wanted? She stared at the back of his head. Soon, she figured out what he wanted.
He regarded her as Harriette's stand-in. Perhaps he wanted to see her as a comfort wh he missed Harriette.
He had said that what he wanted was not her. Hence, he simply sought comfort due to his longing for Harriette. She was glad that he didn't have any undue thoughts about her. "Okay. I'll wait for your call at any time."
She breathed out. After leaving the reception room, her wariness toward Mr. Finch dissipated instantly. However, what he said about her mother's car accident lingered in her mind. As soon as she left, Jonathan couldn't stay still anymore. He immediately went to Aquastead Hotel as he had something to give to Rose.
Meanwhile, Anastasia, who originally stayed at Young Estate, deliberately waited in the Aquastead Hotel for several days. She wanted to greet Jonathan who returned to the hotel. However, he was in a hurry. After going upstairs, he quickly turned back and got into the car without stopping at all. That car was not a luxury car belonging to the Finches.
She was certain that he was going to see Rose. Although she was unhappy, she took out her phone and wanted to make an appointment with Rose. However, Rose didn't answer the call. She cursed in a low voice as she had no choice but to follow Jonathan in her car. On the way back to the company, Rose kept thinking about the car accident.
Even when she was sitting in the office, she was still distracted, not even noticing the missed calls on her phone.

Outside the office, as Sherlyn was about to enter the office, she saw Jonathan walking toward her.
He had a tall figure and a handsome appearance. Sherlyn had secretly admired this couple for a long
time.
When she saw him going to the office to see Rose, she immediately took a step back and let him go first. Jonathan then pushed open the door.
Aft entering, he grabbed Rose's wrist before she could react.
"I'll take you somewhere?"
In high spirits, his handsome face seemed to be born with a bright smile. Rose had no resistance at
all.
It wasn't until they got downstairs and got into the car that she asker Where are we going?"
"You'll know later," Jonathan said mysteriously as he helped her to fasten her seat belt.
As his tall body approached, Rose felt suffocated. His face was leaning against her chest. Locking at his side face from her angle, her heartbeat instantly accelerated.
It was pounding so much that it was about to jump out. That was terrible! She held her breath and tried to calm her heartbeat.
However, the harder she tried, the faster her heart beat. Her face even turned red. Jonathan watched with a smile on his face.
He deliberately slowed down. Then, he suddenly approached her and whispered in her ear.
