Honey, You're a Billionaire?

"How about... you just let it go?" Rose suggested suggestively, feeling sorry for Ezra.

Jonathan didn't say anything, but it was clear that he was going to refuse.

Let it go? What did she mean by that? If he didn't kick Ezra out of the car, was he supposed to bring Ezra back to their love nest? No! Absolutely not! Ezra had already been third-wheeling the entire journey, and Jonathan's patience was running out.

Jonathan gently patted Rose's hand to reassure her. Then, he swiftly stepped out of the car, opened the backseat door, and pulled Ezra's arm.

Ezra was as heavy as a boulder, showing no signs of waking up.

Jonathan frowned. Since that was the case, Jonathan had no choice. He was determined to kick Ezra out of the car, even if it meant dragging him out by force. "Jon, Ezzy is kinda pitiful..." Rose still felt bad for Ezra.

Jonathan froze. He recalled those rainy nights in their youth when he carried Ezra back to the Finch Manor. Ezra lying on his back, didn't even dare to cry out loud.

But Jonathan heard everything. He heard Ezra trying to hold back his sobs. It was indeed pitiful.

"Hubby, just let it go. Maybe... just let him sleep in the car," Rose suggested, looking at Jonathan.

This time, his furrowed brows finally started to relax. Jonathan glanced at Ezra, and he closed the back seat door.

Rose sighed in relief. When Jonathan returned to the driver's seat, Rose couldn't help but praise him.

"Hubby, you're so kind."

Jonathan raised his eyebrows. Of course, he was kind, especially when she called him "hubby"-that made him even kinder. Exactly. It was only because Rose called him "hubby" that he couldn't refuse her request and agreed to bring Ezra along. However...

Before starting the car, Jonathan huffed. "Fine! He'll sleep in the car!" That was the best he could do.

Seeing Jonathan so awkward made Rose laugh. She nodded and said, "Yes, yes. He'll only be in the car sleeping."

Only if... he was heartless enough.

Rose was certain that Jonathan was just acting tough. He would never be that heartless to let Ezra sleep in the car. But what she didn't expect was that as soon as they arrived at their destination, Ezra woke up!

The three of them looked at each other through the rearview mirror. Rose and Jonathan's eyes were filled with doubt. Was Ezra actually asleep?

The more they thought about it, the more doubtful they became. Eventually, both of them realized that Ezra had just been pretending to be asleep.

Ezra's lie was exposed, but he wasn't awkward at all. Instead, he leisurely stretched and looked outside the window. "Are we there?"

All he got in response was Jonathan's silence and grim expression.

Jonathan started the car again. He was determined to send Ezra back, even if it meant spending more time on the road. He didn't mind waiting to finally enjoy some time alone with his wife.

Only when Ezra was sent away could they spend alone time together. If not, they wouldn't get any alone time.

But as soon as the engine was started, Ezra opened the door and quickly got out of the car. Jonathan was speechless.

Ezra looked around, admired his surroundings, and generously complimented them. "Not bad! I don't remember you having this house under your name."

The Finch family owned a lot of properties. Jonathan had a number of them too.

Ezra and Jonathan were always competing with each other, so it was only natural for Ezra to investigate Jonathan's background.

But even if Jonathan had a problem with it, he wouldn't be able to discover anything about Ezra.

Ezra, on the other hand, knew every spot Jonathan had in Regalia. There was a touch of gentleness in Ezra's eyes. He didn't know about this place.

"Did you just buy it? Not bad. Nice location and environment. I can see that you put in a lot of effort for this place."

Ezra frequently showed his approval. This helped ease Jonathan's annoyance from earlier.

Jonathan turned off the engine and got out of the car to open the door for Rose. He wanted to agree that he had to put a lot of effort into choosing the best love nest for

himself and Rose.

He picked out every detail according to Rose's preferences. But he didn't claim all the credit.

He guided Rose out of the car, and he tossed the car keys to Ezra.

"Take the car. Go back yourself."

He didn't want to say another word to Ezra. He didn't even bother to look at him.

Ezra caught the keys and stood in silence. Go back? He was there already, so he might as well stay.

Ezra had the car keys in his hand. He saw Jonathan and Rose entering the house, so he immediately jogged over to catch up to them.

He reached the door just as Jonathan was about to close it.

Jonathan and Ezra locked eyes. Jonathan tried to close the door quickly, but Ezra was quicker and managed to squeeze half of his body into the entrance. "Get out!" Jonathan urged Ezra to leave.

Ezra smiled at Jonathan, but he didn't plead with him. Instead, he looked towards the inside of the house.

"Rose, I'm thirsty..."

Jonathan remained silent.

Before he could respond, Rose said, "Ezzy is thirsty. Just let him come in and drink water."

Jonathan still didn't say anything. He didn't want his wife to think he was mistreating his brother. So, reluctantly, he took a step back.

He shot Ezra a warning glance, but Ezra didn't even look at him, let alone receive his warning. Ezra marched in with a big smile, heading straight toward Rose.

Rose took a bottle of water from the

fridge and handed it to Ezra.

crossed, determined to kick Ezra out the second he finished drinking.

But the moment Ezra took the water, he started to stir up trouble again.

"Thank you, Rose. You and bro treat me so well." Ezra's smile held a captivating charm that could enchant anyone.

Only Jonathan knew that his mention of "bro" was merely an add-on.

"Don't mention it."

Rose was flustered by Ezra's constant praises.

Ezra was Jonathan's younger brother, so she treated him as her own younger brother too. Of course, she was happy to treat him well.

"Rose, bro, I'm a bit tired from the journey. I'll go to rest now. You two carry on."

Both Jonathan and Rose exchanged a confused look at Ezra's mention of "carry on".

Rose stood there, speechless.

Just as she was lost in thought, Ezra had already dashed away. He glanced at the second floor of the villa, but he chose a room on the first floor, entering and closing the door in one smooth motion.

By the time they realized, Ezra was already inside the room.

Rose was left speechless. Wasn't he just thirsty and needed some water? Wasn't he supposed to leave after drinking?

Rose looked at Jonathan, only to see his extremely annoyed expression. Jonathan had a dark expression. He'd suspected that Ezra would cause trouble.

What did he mean by "I'm a bit tired from the journey"? Not only did he pretend to be asleep, but now he wanted to act tired too?

Jonathan cursed under his breath.

Soon after, he brushed aside his annoyance, and his handsome face lit up. When he smiled at Rose, his smile was even brighter than Ezra's moments ago.
