After Rose left, the atmosphere in the backyard became quite eerie. Inside the pavilion, Jonathan had wrapped himself in a bathrobe.

His face was dark as he dried his wet hair, seemingly pretending that Miles wasn't there.

"Long time no see. I never expected that we would meet again in such circumstances."

Miles was the first to break the silence. Both of them were prominent figures in Regalia.

After the incident that happened three years ago, they seemed to have developed an unspoken agreement, deliberately avoiding each other.

Jonathan remained expressionless, offering no response to his reflections. Miles gave a faint smile and continued to stare at him, not wanting to miss any of his reactions.

"You agreed to be a guest judge because of Rose, right?" he asked,

This time, Jonathan's brows furrowed slightly.

"You changed the venue of the competition at the last minute because of her, didn't you?" Miles spoke with certainty.

"I remember the host of the competition said that Rose's couple rings were sent by someone, but when reviewed the security footage, there was no suspicious person who delivered anything that day. Was it you?"

Miles had suspected this before but couldn't quite believe it. After all, how could the esteemed Mr. Finch do such a thing for a woman? The only explanation was...This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Miles's warm gaze suddenly turned sharp as he asked, "Are you interested in Rose?"

Jonathan continued to act as though he hadn't heard, ignoring his presence. This time, Miles was provoked.

He squinted his eyes and asked, "You're interested in Rose because of her eyes, aren't you?"

Not far away, Rose, who had just returned with the mask, suddenly heard her name mentioned. Her heart skipped a beat as she couldn't understand the situation.

She hadn't yet figured out what was going on when Miles continued, "Rose's eyes do resemble Anastasia's. If you want to find a replacement, then I wish you well. However, the one you love can only be Anastasia."

His tone was filled with a warning. Rose's long eyelashes quivered. She wondered if Anastasia was Miles's sister.

The other day, outside the restaurant, Miles had said that her eyes were very much like his sister's. Putting everything together, she suddenly understood the situation.

The slight interest Mr. Finch had shown in her was rooted in this woman named Anastasia. However, a stand-in. She furrowed her brows; she was not willing to be a stand-in for anyone.

She decided to find an opportunity to clarify this with Mr. Finch. Inside the pavilion, the two men faced off in an eerie atmosphere.

Suddenly, Jonathan's voice rang out, "Who I love is none of your business!"

Even from a distance, Rose could feel the fierceness emanating from him. For a moment, she found his voice peculiar. It didn't sound like Mr. Finch, but it felt strangely familiar.

As she glanced in the direction of the pavilion, she could only see Mr. Finch's blurry silhouette.

Just as she was about to explore where this familiarity came from, Miles suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Jonathan's collar. Then, he clenched his fist and swung it toward his face. The punch landed hard on Jonathan's face.

"Ah... Rose let out a silent gasp.

In the next moment, in her line of sight, Mr. Finch also raised his fist and delivered a punch to Miles's face.

"Ugh..."

Just watching it made her wince. The two men seemed to have lost control of themselves.

Jonathan took off his bathrobe while Miles also took off his suit jacket; they were now pummeling each. other with punches and kicks.

In the end, both of them lay on the ground. Their legs entwined around each other's necks, neither willing to let go. Rose watched in astonishment. Was this how tycoons fought?

It didn't seem like they were enemies, more like two good friends caught in a physical altercation due to a misunderstanding.

After the fight, both Miles and Jonathan seemed to have thoroughly enjoyed themselves. They suddenly released each other and lay side by side on the ground, just like the old times.

"Jonathan, don't put your sincerity on Rose. Your heart will always belong to Anastasia; that's the debt you owe her, and you should repay it with a lifetime of love, Miles suddenly spoke, his tone deep and serious,

Jonathan's mind flashed with countless moments involving Rose. It seemed he had already put his sincerity on her.

Nevertheless, even though they had been the best of friends, he wouldn't reveal his true feelings.

"I'm interested in Rose only momentarily.
