Chapter 103 The One to Thank Is Not Him.
In preparation for entertaining Miles that evening, Rose returned to Zenwood Gardens early to prepare dinner. As soon as she entered, she was greeted by a strong aroma of food.
The dining table was filled with dishes that she loved, both visually appealing and delicious.
âThisâ¦â
She began to wonder if she had walked into the wrong house. Before she could make her exit to confirm, her star escort husband emerged from the kitchen.
âYouâre back early today. Just in time for the last dish. Wash your hands, and we can have dinner,â Jonathan said while carrying a plate of salad.
He was wearing an apron, resembling a family cook. His handsome face was undeniably charming even In this attire, which added a touch of authenticity to his presence.
Rose was briefly stunned.
She scanned the table with amazement and asked, âDid you make this?â
âWhy donât you taste it and see if it suits your palate?â
It wasnât a problem for her to think he had made the dishes.
âWow⦠I didnât expect you to be so skilled. Youâre goodâlooking, and you can cook. Youâre truly a perfect man. Whoever marries you is so lucky!â Rose praised him enthusiastically, laying the groundwork for her upcoming revelation about the inviting guest.
The corners of Jonathanâs lips curled up. Wasnât she the lucky one? He placed the dishes on the dining table and took off his apron as he prepared to have dinner with Rose.
As soon as he touched his apron, Rose hurried over.
âHubby, youâve worked hard. Let me do it for you.â
She took off the apron for him and even massaged his shoulder. Jonathan was pleased to be called â
hubbyâ.
Noticing him in a good mood, Rose said, âToday, someone helped me immensely. If it werenât for him, the company would still be in chaos and unable to function. So, I want to express my gratitude to him.â
Jonathan frowned, thinking she was going to thank him. Zac had done something right. If Rose could ease her misunderstanding of âMr. Finchâ, that would be ideal.
âThe person who helped you must be a great person,â he remarked.
âYes, a truly great person! We didnât know each other before, but he reached out to help several times. Itâs only fair to express my gratitude, right?â
Jonathanâs face displayed a hint of awkwardness. She remembered the times he had extended a helping hand to her.
She was even contemplating expressing her gratitude to him, which showed her sense of conscience.
âHow do you want to express your gratitude?â he asked as he gazed at her with anticipation.

Since he was asking this; did it mean he wouldnât object to her inviting Miles to their home for dinner?â How about inviting him to have dinner?â
âThatâll be good.â
However, wasnât it a bit risky to reveal his identity as âMr. Finchâ before capturing his heart?
While he was pondering this, Roseâs eyes lit up as she said, âI knew you would understand. I was planning to cook a meal myself, but it seems youâve already prepared everything. Look at the time; he should be arriving soon.â
She took out her phone and sent a text message to Miles, who quickly replied, âIâll be there in ten minutes.â
âThe timing is perfect.â
Rose immediately began preparing to welcome her esteemed guest, Jonathan watched her busy figure and felt a growing unease. What did she mean by arriving soon?
In haste, he quickly sent a message to Finley to inquire if Rose had invited anyone over today.
Finley soon replied, âNo. Mr. Finch, the person we sent to Celeste Jewels only made it halfway through the interview process. Another group of people also applied for jobs there.
âI intended to report to you immediately, but you mentioned that you had important matters today and didnât want to be disturbed⦠Mr. Finchâ¦â
Jonathan didnât pay much attention to what Finley had said next. The person Rose wanted to thank was not him. She was planning to invite someone else over for dinner.
Fury surged within him as he coldly questioned, âWho?â
