Chapter 100 Acting Strangely
âYouâre married? Damn! With the little beauty? Howâs that even possible?â
Zac exclaimed in succession. It seemed the news heâd just heard was too shocking. He even walked back and forth several times, stomping his feet a few times to display his amazement.
After the initial shock, he seemed to think of something as he asked, âOkay, youâre married. But why would there be a marriage agreement?â
Why not? Jonathan couldnât say that he had received a substantial sum of money from Rose before they got married.
As Mr. Finch, if he were to be found out selling himself for money, he wouldnât feel much more embarrassed,
He remained silent for a while, and Zac had already concocted an extravagant drama in his mind.
âAre you worried that sheâs only interested in your identity as Mr. Finch, your money, and your status? Thatâs why youâre guarding her?â
Jonathan furrowed his brow as he refused to explain.
âOr could it be that sheâs pregnant, and you think that she isnât good enough for your esteemed status? So, you plan to abandon her after she gives birth to your child, leaving her with the baby?â
As Zac continued to speak, his words became increasingly absurd.
Jonathan finally interrupted his nonsense, âI wonât abandon her, and she doesnât know my true identity. âThatâs good then.â
After all, Zac quite liked Rose. If it werenât for Jonathan making a move first, he might have pursued her himself. However, if she ended up becoming Jonathanâs wife, he would gladly accept that outcome.
He suddenly remembered something
âShe doesnât know your identity? She doesnât know youâre Mr. Finch?â
Kelly didnât enter the bar again. She hadnât expected to see Zac coming out of the bar as soon as she got out of the car. She cautiously followed him and eavesdropped on their conversation.
She was shocked to know Rose didnât know that the person she had married was Mr. Finch. Remembering Jonathanâs statement at the police station, her lips curled into a cold smile.
Having received the answer, she didnât bother listening to what Zac had to say. She had thought that Mr. Finch was deeply in love with Rose and that she was someone special to him.
However, keeping his identity a secret from her meant that this wasnât love; it was merely a bored wealthy tycoon toying with Rose as if she were a plaything. Kelly let out a cold snort.
If this was the case, Jonathanâs interest in Rose would eventually wane. Then, she might have her chance. Kelly placed her hand on her bellyâthis child had been her fallback plan, but now it seemed like it could be a stumbling block. She couldnât let this happen. She gritted her teeth as if making a decision.
With a soft chuckle, a plan formed in her mind. Rose had a dream. In her dream, she was in her motherâs

arms. Her motherâs scent made her feel exceptionally warm.
After a good nightâs sleep, she was even more determined to protect Celeste Jewels, the legacy her mother had left for her.
âGood morning.â
As she had just walked out of the bedroom, her top husband, who was sipping coffee at the dining table, greeted her. His handsome smile briefly distracted her
âCome and have breakfast.â
Jonathan was pleased with the adoring look she gave him. Rose snapped out of it.
On the empty spot on the table, there was a peculiarâlooking, vaguely heartâshaped fried egg, and a few slices of charred bacon. Did he make this?
In her memory, during their time living together, she hadnât seen him cook. They usually just had a cup of coffee in the morning.
She didnât say anything, but as she passed by him, she caught a faint scent that reminded her of her mother. She didnât think too much about it as she sat down to eat breakfast.
The fried egg, despite its unappealing appearance, didnât affect its taste. The burnt bacon was edible too. As Jonathan watched her finish the meal, a sense of accomplishment welled up.
He suddenly realized that he might be quite skilled in cooking. He could fry eggs and bacon, so he could probably make other dishes as well. He contemplated for a moment.
Just as Rose was about to leave after breakfast, he suddenly called, âRose.â
âYes?
âCome back early tonight. Iâll be waiting for you.â
âOkay.â
She felt like her top husband was acting strangely.
