Chapter 110
The Ceo’s Convict Wife
Rosalie thought, âArenât I eager to have nothing to do with Jonathanâ After all, his existence was like a nightmare to me back then. But just now⦠I was thinking of wanting him to save me!â
âWhy are you here?â Calvinâs voice suddenly sounded in the car.
âMy granny is sick. Iâm here to visit her,â she said. Even if she didnât say it, he could find out after a little investigation.
âYour granny lives in this town?â he asked.
âYeah.â
âThen you⦠Have you ever lived here before?â His voice seemed to be hesitant.
âI lived here for a while when I was a child. But I went back to Strico when I got older later,â she replied.
âReally? So, did anything special happen when you lived here as a child?â When he asked, his fingers holding the steering wheel tightened slightly.
âI donât understand what you mean by special thingsâ Rosalie replied. âBesides, when I was here, I was still young. Even if something special happened, maybe I didnât know it or had forgotten it.â
Calvin was silent and said nothing more The car didnât stop until it reached the door of a restaurant.
Rosalie looked at the restaurant and realized it was a famous greasy spoon in the town. Most of the locals would come here to eat, and only a few outsiders would visit And the town was not a tourist attraction Naturally, this kind of greasy spoon wouldnât be like those places with a developed tourism industry, with many outsiders coming here to visit and take photos for social media.
She knew about this place because she had stayed here for many years when she was a child and was familiar with the area. After all, this greasy spoon had been open for many years. When she lived in Wilmaâs home, it was already there. Wilma would often bring Rosalie here to have a meal and satisfy Rosalieâs cravings.
Rosalie was a little surprised. She didnât expect Calvin to know this place.
âThe dishes here are not bad. Itâs just that the place is a little shabbyâ After getting out of the car. Calvin pretended to say inadvertently. âSpeaking of which, have you ever eaten at this place since youâve stayed here for a while?â
âYes, I have,â she answered âDo you like the dishes hereââ he asked.
âItâs Itâs quite cost-effective, and some dishes are also very specialâ In fact, she liked the dishes in this restaurant very It was just that for Calvin, who was used to exquisite gourmet food, these dishes were too plai What Rosalie didnât expect was that when Calvin walked into the restaurant, the owner also greeted him initiatively. âMr. Gunner, you are here again. At this time of year. I guess you will come over. This is The owner looked at Rosalie Although Rosalie often came here when she was a child, after all, in the next ten years or so, she seldom came here She would just come here for a meal when she occasionally came back to see Wilma Naturally, the owner coul it remember Rosalie âA friend.â Calvin said.
âHaha, itâs rare to see you bring your friends here Are you having the usual today?â the owner asked.
âWeâll add a few more dishes. Itâs up to youâ As Calvin spoke, he took Rosalie to a table near the window and sat down.
Rosalie sat down and thought about Calvinâs introduction She and he were not even friends.
âI come here to have a meal at this time of the year every year.â Calvin said, âJust like every year today, I will go to the hospital just now for a whileâ
âReally?â she echoed, inexplicably feeling that he said these words as if he was deliberately telling her something Calvin stared at the face in front of him with his dark eyes. He opened his thin lips and continued, âBecause I was separated from someone in the hospital. That person once told me that she liked to come here every year, so I would sit here and eat some food on the day when we were separatedâ
âSo that person must be very important to you,â Rosalie said. According to his tone, it seemed as if he missed that person very much âYeah, sheâs very important. For me, Iâm afraid sheâs almost as important as my life.â His calm tone sounded as if he was talking about a very natural thing But Rosalie was shocked upon hearing that. She thought, âDoes Calvin care so much about the person he was separated from? Originally, in my opinion, someone like him, who changes a girlfriend one by one and even shows no mercy to his ex-girlfriend, is extremely emotionally indifferentâ
Perhaps to him, feelings were just ripples that wouldnât exist afterward once the ripples disappeared.
But at this moment, he said that there was a person who was as important in his heart as his life.
Rosalie wondered what the gossip media would think if they heard about this.
âSince sheâs so important, didnât you look for her?â Rosalie asked.
He chuckled in a low voice and stared at her as if he was observing her reaction. âOf course, Iâm looking for her. Unfortunately, at that time, there were no surveillance cameras installed in many places in the hospital and on the paths in this town. In addition, it took me a while to start finding her. As a result, I couldnât find her.â
There was an obvious regret in his tone. He had been looking for the person for many years, but as time went by, everything was getting slimmer and slimmer.
Sometimes he couldnât help but wonder that he would never find this person.
âI hope you can find that person soon,â Rosalie said.
âYes, I hope so too,â he said. âHow about you? Have you had any special experiences in this small town before? For example⦠Have you saved anyone here? Or have you told anyone that the dishes in this restaurant are delicious?â
Rosalie laughed. âAt that time, I probably told a lot of people that the dishes in this restaurant were good. But actually, local people mostly liked to come here. As for saving someoneâs life⦠I donât think so.â
At least, she didnât remember she had saved someone when she was a child.
âReally?â He narrowed his eyes.
âMr. Gunner, do you wish that I had saved someone?â Rosalie asked.
A trace of disappointment flashed in Calvinâs eyes. He thought, âSo⦠Itâs not her as well? The person Iâm looking for isnât her.â
In fact, he didnât think much about it at first. It was just that when he saw her for the first time, he felt that her face vaguely showed the shadow of the person in his memory.
But at that time, the person was still young.
Later, he imagined what the person would look like many times based on his memory.
Over the years, the girlfriends he looked for more or less resembled that personâs appearance.
This time, after seeing Rosalie in the hospital, he suddenly had a guess. He wondered if this woman in front of him might be that person.
