Chapter 158
The Ceo’s Convict Wife
At this moment⦠he was not wearing anything on his upper body!
âYouâ¦â Her face was red, and her eyes were still closed. She didnât dare to open them because she was afraid that if she opened them, she would see something she ought not to.
âRosie, arenât you going to open your eyes? He exhaled, his breath tinged with a sweet scent. His murmuring voice sounded. deeply enchanting However, Rosalie still kept her eyes shut With her face reddened, she urged, âGet dressed quickly âBut I really want you to look at me,â he said. âBesides, I helped you today. Why wouldnât you be willing to even look at mei Rosalieâs body stiffened. She subconsciously bit her lip, but when she touched the spot where he had bitten before, she let out a low exclamation.
The sound of his soft laughter reached her ears, and then she felt his fingers touching her lips as he said. âYou know what? You looked so cute just now âCuteââ she thought Before she could react, however, she suddenly felt something pressing on her lips. It was soft and warm, and it took her a moment to realize that it was his lips.
He was kissing her!
Rosalie suddenly opened her eyes and stared dumbfoundedly at his face, which was as close as it could get to hers. In fact, at this moment, she could not even see his complete face at all. All she could see were his brilliant eyes that were like blooming flowers, so beautiful that they seemed capable of capturing peopleâs souls at any time âMmmâ¦â She subconsciously wanted to open her mouth to say something, but it only gave him the opportunity to deepen the kiss.
Rosalie passively received the kiss, and her hands pressed against his chest. She felt her hands seemed to become hot as if they were about to erupt into flames.
After a while, the kiss finally ended. Rosalie was panting and blushed.
Jonathan, on the other hand, was calm and leisurely. A faint smile hung on his lips. So, it would seem this is what it takes for you to be willing to look at me.â
Rosalie didnât know what to say. He was clearly implying something else, but at this moment, she did not know how to retort Just as she was about to close her eyes again, he said. âWhat is it I helped you, but youâre not even willing to look at me for a few more moments?â
She pursed her lips, which were still burning. âYou get dressed first, then Iâll look at youâ
âBut I like you looking at me like this,â he said in a low voice as if he was showing her his wonderfulness. âItâs like Iâm the only one in your eyesâ
Rosalie looked at the man in front of her, slightly dazed. She felt that it would surely be hard for anyone to avert their gazes after their eyes fell on a man like this.
His facial features were exquisite, and his figure was tall. Especially now that he was not wearing a top, it was even clearer how lean and defined his figure was However, when she saw the scar on his chest, her mind drifted for a moment.
She had seen this scar before in the rental home, but when she asked him about it, he just answered that it was merely a âminor injury However, even though the scar had turned faint, it didnât look like it the injury was ever a âminorâ one.
As though he noticed her gaze, he suddenly took her hand and placed it on the scar She was stunned for a moment and instinctively wanted to withdraw her hand. However, his fingers, strong as steel bars, held her hand tightly, forcing her hand to stay on the scar âWerenât you looking at this scar just now Instead of just looking at it, isnât it more straightforward to simply touch it?â he asked âNo need. Let go of my hand first, Rosalie hurriedly said However, he ignored her and merely gazed at her fixedly. âRosie, would you hurt me?â
Her body shook, and she felt her throat tightened. It was as though some words were stuck in her throat.
His eyes were fixed on her as if he wanted to see through her entire being âIs this a difficult question? After a long silence, he said in a low voice, âIt doesnât matter if you donât want to answer, but I still want to remind youâ¦â
He slowly bent down. His lips approached her ear, and he went on in a low voice. âYou should never hurt me, okay?â
If she didnât hurt him, he would love her to the moon and back and thoroughly spoil her. He would even protect her for life, ensuring that she stayed safe and happy throughout her life.
This would all be as long as she didnât hurt him!
In the huge room. Rosalie was a little restless. She looked at the time on her phone from time to time and wondered how long it would take before she got news of her friend.
As for Jonathan, he had changed into a casual outfit and was sitting on the couch, looking at some reports and such.
Looking at Jonathan, who was sitting elegantly, Rosalie couldnât help but think of what he said before.
He said that he wanted her to never hurt him.
However, the problem with that statement was that she couldnât hurt him at all. What he said was actually a little redundant.
âWho could hurt a person like him in the entire Strico?â she wondered.
He looked up at her as if he could feel her gaze. âAre you thinking about me now, or are you thinking about Lillian?â
Of course, she was thinking about Lillian. She had merely thought about his words for a second just now.
However, with him looking at her now, she felt as though it was not the time to speak the truth-
âAlthough he looks gentle right now and gives the impression that heâs a harmless soul, if he gets annoyed, thenâ¦â Rosalie thought.
However, she didnât dare to finish the thought. At this moment, she couldnât afford to annoy him as well because she still needed to rely on him to help her find Lillian.
At this moment, Jonathanâs phone suddenly rang. The crisp ringtone of the phone sounded particularly clear in the room. Rosalie looked at Jonathanâs phone on the coffee table. âItâs already 11:00 p.m. At such a late hour, would the caller be the person investigating Lillianâs whereabouts?â she wondered.
Jonathan glanced at the caller ID, picked up the phone, looked at Rosalieâs look of anticipation, and pressed the speakerphone button.
A manâs voice came from the phone. âMr. Youngblood, I have news. Lillian was taken away by Callum White. She should be at his residence at Crescent Cove now,â
Jonathan frowned slightly. âCallum White?â
âYes, thatâs right. In fact, it should have been Callum who personally took her today,â said the man on the phone..
âOkay, I see.â After ending the call, Jonathan looked up at Rosalie and asked, âWhen did Lillian have anything to do with.
Callum White?â
Rosalie looked confused as well. âCallum White? Who is he?â
