Chapter 37 He Believed

Having acquired some money, Rose promptly booked a hotel room for the night.

As Jonathan returned to Zenwood Gardens at midnight, he found the house completely vacant. Rose hadn't returned yet. Jonathan immediately called her as he was worried that she might be in danger.

After a few rings, he heard Rose's drowsy voice from the other end as she said, "Hello? Who is this?"

"Where are you?" Jonathan asked in a deep, low voice.

Rose's mind took a few seconds to digest his words as she was still groggy from sleep. She couldn't grasp what was happening.

"I'm at a hotel. Who are you?"

With that, she promptly hung up the phone and went back to sleep.

Jonathan stared at his phone with a dark expression. Only then did he realize that she had only stayed for one night here, yet he had come to regard this place as their home.

However, she was right. After all, he was nobody to her. Both of them were just participants in a contractual marriage. They would go their separate ways in a month.
