Chapter 74 Smudged Lipstick

Rose was about to inquire when her star escort husband had already carried her into the elevator and out of the shopping center.

"Why are you with him?" Jonathan asked in a displeased tone as he placed her in the passenger seat.

Rose wondered who he was referring to.

She suddenly realized something and quickly replied, "I didn't have a suitable outfit for the National Jewelry Design Award celebration tonight. Since there was enough time, I came to do some shopping. Evan's driver is nice, he helped me carry the shopping bags... Oh no! My shopping bags are still with him."

She suddenly remembered it. As she was about to get out of the car to retrieve them, Jonathan pressed his hand on her shoulder.

He said in a gentle and indulgent voice, "I'll go get them."

Then, he closed the car door and walked back into the shopping center. He was in a jubilant mood thinking that Ezra was just a driver in Rose's eyes.

However, he couldn't ignore Ezra's intentions for getting close to Rose.

He walked briskly toward him, taking the shopping bags from him and warning in a stern tone, "I've told you not to mess with her."

Ezra removed his mask. Although the two men had similar facial features, their temperaments were vastly different..

"What if I want to?"

He nonchalantly raised an eyebrow. He had purposely lured Jonathan here, and he had indeed taken the

bait.

Thinking about Rose's appearance just now, he cast a meaningful look at the corridor where they had been. He had never seen Jonathan lose control like that before.

He stared at Jonathan, his amorous eyes bearing a sly smile as he said, "Brother, I'm interested in her too. The next time I see her, I'll make her realize that I am Ezra. Let's have a fair competition, shall we?"

He gave Jonathan a provocative glance before leaving. A sharp glint flashed in Jonathan's pitch-black eyes. Finley, who was on the side, dared not even breathe.

A full minute passed before Jonathan said in an icy voice, "Cancel the rest of my schedule. Get ready, I want to attend the Young family's celebration banquet

"But didn't you decline the Young family's invitation before, Mr. Finch?"

Finley was momentarily confused. However, he suddenly realized why Jonathan wanted to attend-Rose must be going to the celebration banquet as well, so he would go as well. "Alright. I'll arrange it right away."

He immediately made a phone call. Then Jonathan returned to the car, he took out a pair of sports shoes from the shopping bag.

"I I didn't buy sports shoes... Rose said.

"I bought them," Jonathan said as he crouched down and held her foot.

The sensation of his large palm made her feel a tingling numbness. Was he worried she might hurt her foot again?

A warm feeling washed over her. She allowed him to remove her high heels and replace them with sports shoes. Thinking about the celebration banquet tonight, she suddenly wanted to go with him. Without hesitation, she invited, "Would you like to accompany me to the celebration banquet tonight?" Jonathan's body visibly stiffened.

"In what capacity?" he asked with a hint of irony.

"Of course, as my husband."

Rose didn't hide her intentions. This answer pleased Jonathan. He didn't mind appearing in public as her husband and even felt a hint of anticipation.

However, in the next moment, a bucket of cold water was poured over him.

"Oh no! That's Mr. Finch's car! Rose suddenly exclaimed.

She stared at a luxury car not far ahead, her eyes filled with disdain and rejection.

"Let's go quickly. Having Mr. Finch around can't lead to anything good."

Jonathan's body tensed. He looked at her with his dark and unreadable eyes.

"Come on! Don't let him see us... Rose urged.

At this moment, all she could think of was "Mr. Finch She failed to notice the darkening expression on her star escort husband's face.

Jonathan returned to the driver's seat. A hint of irony tugged at the corners of his mouth. Should he be grateful that the car he had just used to bring her up here was not the one she recognized as Mr. Finch's?

He felt a lump in his chest. Rose was about to urge him to drive away, but he suddenly cast his gaze on her lips. His earlier gloom vanished as a smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.

His smile made Rose's scalp tingle. She wondered if something happened to her lips. Rose hadn't had a chance to check in the mirror when Jonathan leaned in

His hand touched the corner of her lips as he said in a deep, mellifluous voice, "Your lipstick is smudged...

In addition to the smudged lipstick, her lips were slightly swollen. He had kissed her with too much intensity earlier.
