Honey, You're a Billionaire? novel Chapter 435

Evan frowned. Without waiting for her to finish, he interrupted her.

"Enough. I told you I'd take accountability for that night." He didn't want to remember or bring up that night.

With her, he only saw accountability. Dawn hated that word the most, but that was the only thing she could use to hold him down. She wiped her tears as she blamed herself.

"If it weren't for me, you and Rose might have…"

"Rosie and I…" Evan couldn't hide the disappointment in his voice. Even without Dawn or the event that transpired that night, he and Rose were not meant to be.

There was never a relationship, to begin with, so why dwell on how things could've gone? When he reunited with Rose this time, he was confident she had someone in her heart. What was surprising was that it wasn't Miles.

"But…" Dawn wanted to say more, but Evan was reluctant to continue the conversation. He simply repeated his usual words.

"I'll take accountability for you."

This time, he eased her worried heart better than before. Dawn bit her lip and embraced Evan. He visibly trembled when their bodies touched, but due to her relentless pleading, he didn't push her away despite his aversion.

"Don't push me away, Evo. Just don't…" Her voice was shaky. Seeing that he froze in place and didn't resist her, she added eagerly, "I'm scared, Evo. I know you're marrying me because of the baby, but…"

But she was unwilling to accept that fact. Still, she couldn't say that aloud. "But I'm scared, Evo. Except for that night, we've never… Can we please stay at the hotel tonight?"

The air seemingly froze. They usually slept in the same hotel room but were separated by different beds. What Dawn implied was that she wanted to share a bed tonight.

With bated breath, she eagerly anticipated the answer she hoped for, but all she heard was, "You should go rest."

Yes. Just her. He wanted her to check into the hotel alone.

Dawn tightened her grip on his hands. Evan frowned, and after some hesitation, he offered, "I'll drop you off at the hotel."

"Sure." She no longer pressured him. Some things were not meant to be rushed, and she understood that. Yet, deep down, she had hopes that he would stay once they arrived at the hotel.

Near the hospital, Evan located a hotel. Just as he saw her off at the hotel room door and was ready to leave, Dawn grabbed onto him.

"Evo…"

"Have some rest." He didn't let her finish and gently detached his hand from her grip.

Dawn's expression stiffened as she realized she couldn't make him stay. Without a choice, she watched reluctantly as his figure disappeared at the end of the hallway.

…

Inside the ward, Yvonne seemed to be having a nightmare. Her forehead kept sweating, and Rose wiped them off while attempting to wake her up.

However, Yvonne seemed trapped inside her dream no matter how much she struggled. At times, she even mumbled words like "Rosie", "Finches", and "Let her go".

The Finches…

Rose felt like her heart had been stabbed. Was it the Finches who had harmed Yvonne? She also remembered that the celebration party venue belonged to Finch Group. Then, she thought of Jonathan…

"You're hurting me." Rose furrowed her brows.

Immediately, Jonathan released her. For the past few days, he had been watching Miles like a hawk. Earlier, he even avoided the latter as if he were a thief afraid to be caught. After all the ordeals, his heart finally settled into peace when he saw her.

He stared at her to compensate for all the days he spent missing her. His passionate gaze deepened Rose's frown. "Have you looked enough?"

"Nope." Jonathan flashed her a smile that was unusual and rare of him. When faced with Rose, he was no longer the same person. He stared at her longingly. "I'll never get enough of looking at you. What should I do?"

Rose felt uncomfortable by his look. What did he mean by what to do? If she didn't break the eye contact, the man might do something out of line.

At the thought of Yvonne, Rose dimmed her gaze and took a step back. In the darkness, she locked eyes with him. "Yvonne is heavily injured."

There wasn't much fluctuation in his gaze as he was relieved it wasn't Rose who had gotten injured. Although unsure of Yvonne's condition, he naturally understood Rose's worry about her dear friend.

He comforted her, saying, "The hospitals under Young Group are staffed with professionals and the best equipment. If it doesn't help, the Finches—"

Rose was revolted to hear the mention of the Finches. She cut him off without waiting for him to finish. "Did you sponsor the show that day?"

"You found out?" Jonathan looked like a child awaiting praise after doing a good deed. "She's your only friend in Regalia. Of course, I must support her career."

He even selected the ticket that Yvonne had given her. For Rose, he had done everything he could to make her happy.

Right then, he wondered how she would reward him. He took a step forward in anticipation. "Wifey…"
