My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul novel Chapter 1298

Rosa was genuinely devoted to Joe. Having given so much, she didn't want to end up losing both her heart and her wealth.

Joe snapped out of his wandering thoughts, looked down at Rosa, and asked, "Why are you afraid?"

"Because I feel like your heart is no longer with me. We used to share everything and do everything together, but now your distance makes me feel like we're worlds apart."

Rosa struggled to put her thoughts into words, fearing that saying too much might push Joe further away.

Joe gently pushed her aside and walked further inside, pouring himself a glass of water. While drinking, he carefully observed Rosa's reaction.

After she was done, Simona handed the menu to Stephen. "See if there's anything else you'd like. I just ordered my favorites."

Taking the menu, Stephen noticed the prices and felt his hand start to tremble slightly as he held it.

He had heard his classmates mention this restaurant before. It was known for its outrageous prices and was frequented only by people from a social class they couldn't touch.

The fact that a place he wouldn't dare to visit was one Simona frequented made his heart tremble uncontrollably.
