Chapter 323 It Doesn't Affect My Admiration
That was what Miles was most worried about. Compared to the Youngs, the Finches were much more complicated.
Jonathan had been dormant for years and finally became the leader of the Finch Group. During the recent power struggle, the Finches were afraid of his means.
But none of them was willing to give up the Finch Group. This time, it was their turn to prepare a counterattack.
They always paid attention to him. If Rose followed him, it would inevitably lead to many unknown dangers. He had already thought about that when falling in love with her.
He looked serious.
"I won't let Rose get hurt!"
The people in Finch Group wouldn't give up. When he first came to Aquastead, someone had already attacked him. He just cut off that person's power.
If he hadn't met her, no matter what they did, he would have fought back appropriately without hurting the Finches. But he didn't dare gamble on the Finches' kindness if he wanted to be with her. After a moment of pause, he continued, "If necessary, I won't be merciful!"
He had never been soft-hearted. Until he left, Miles was still standing under the tree.
After a long time, he didn't return to the room in the main building but stopped in front of another building. It was as if he had decided to face something.
Finally, he entered the building and slowly reached a room. It was whe Harriette once lived. The room was still the same as it was when she was there.
They said she had been dead for many years, but he never wanted to believe it or face it.
She loved Jonathan deeply. He knew that she wasn't that important to Jonathan. Or she was just an ordinary friend in Jonathan's mind. But he stubbornly wanted to guard her wishes.
He even asked Jonathan to be like him. Even if she wasn't here, she must have been the most important person in their hearts. No one could replace her.
But he never imagined that he had unknowingly replaced her with someone else.
"Sorry, Harriette."

In the empty room, his tone was self-reproaching and a little helpless.
"You'll blame me, right?"
But even knowing she would blame him, he couldn't control his feelings, let alone Jonathan. That night, he stayed in the room for a long time and didn't leave until dawn.
Rose slept peacefully. She hadn't slept so deeply for a long time. The next day, she was the last to get up. When she arrived at the dining room, Patrick had already pushed Oliver to go for a walk in the garden.
Anastasia, Kelly, and Gabriel were all still there. She looked at the time suspiciously and felt surprised.
Usually, Anastasia would have already gone out. Kelly would return to the room or another place but never to the dining room. Gabriel also wouldn't be here at this time.
When she approached, they all looked at her complicatedly. They either sneered, looked dissatisfied, or couldn't hide their hatred, as if she had taken away what they wanted
most.
Did Oliver say something that made her the target of criticism? It was her first guess. She didn't know that their hatred came from a photo.
She was never afraid of them being unkind. Facing them, she walked to her seat and sat down to eat her breakfast slowly. They had finished eating but showed no intention of leaving. She finally couldn't help but ask, "Is there something on my face?"
They were stunned for a moment, then turned away. Anastasia and Kelly usually said sarcastic words to her. But today, they only smiled and left.
They worried that if they stayed a little longer, they couldn't help but ask about the photo.
Rose already knew that the man she married was Mr. Finch. None of them wanted to see her proud, so they stopped asking for trouble.
But Gabriel still sat in his seat. Without anyone else around, he stared at her.
"Your side profile is indeed pretty!"
She was more beautiful in reality than in that photo. His strange compliment instantly made her frown.
Meeting his impolite gaze, she unpleasantly warned, "Didn't Kelly tell you I was married? I don't care what you want to do. Don't focus on me!"

He raised his eyebrows. Ever since he came to Aquastead, she never seemed to have a good attitude toward him.
But her true nature was much more charming than Kelly, who seemed considerate and gentle. Thinking of what Chloe told him, his smile gradually widened. He still stared at her affectionately. "Yes, you said it. But whether you're married doesn't affect my admiration for you."
Admiration? She was so startled by his words that she spat out the milk, causing a fit of choking and coughing. She looked at him. Although he still showed a smile, it was stiff.
His affectionate confession looked particularly funny because of the specks of milk on his face. She couldn't help but laugh.
Her laughter echoed in the dining room. It was frank, cheerful, and without any trace of artificiality. She wasn't like Kelly and the Regalia socialites he once knew. Their smiles were hypocritical.
His stiff face gradually relaxed. As if her laughter infected him, his smile became more real. Just as he was immersed in her laugh, she stopped laughing abruptly.
She spat milk all over his face, but he smiled instead of getting angry. He looked so scary! She shuddered inwardly. She didn't want to be kind to him as she knew why he came to her. "Although Grandpa thinks of me as Aunt Rietta, I know my identity. I'm not interested in the Youngs. I don't want to emphasize this again. Please don't waste your time on me!" After saying that, she didn't even want to drink the unfinished milk. She got up and walked out of the dining room.
She disappeared from his sight, but his smile grew bigger. He believed she wasn't interested in anything about the Youngs.
Although he had only come to Aquastead not long ago, he could feel her sincerity toward Oliver.
Not only that, even if she were ambitious, she would gain much more from focusing on Mr. Finch than on the Youngs. But even so, he still couldn't help but want to focus on her. At first, it was because she was so beautiful that he couldn't take his gaze away. Now, he seemed to have some other reasons.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
