Chapter 40

Meanwhile, Jonathan’s attitude toward Rosalie… Zachary felt it could be described as “gentle.”

Jonathan had never been gentle to a woman. Even Melanie had never been treated like this before.

Suddenly, Zachary’s mind flashed through the fact that the advertisement had been withdrawn. They had always thought it should be because of Rosalie’s relationship, so Jonathan was still disgusted with the Xanthos family and did not like to see them propose in such a high–profile way. Now, when Zachary thought of it, it was indeed because of Rosalie’s relationship, but it was completely different from what they had thought! Zachary just felt confused.

In the rental home, Rosalie and Jonathan were having a meal together. Rosalie also told Jonathan what happened today in the Environment and Sanitation Administration. “I don’t know why Mr. Johnson fired Queenie. I thought it would be me who was being fired.”

“Isn’t this good?” Jonathan said.

Rosalie said with hesitation, “Of course, it is good not to be fired. But I don’t know if Queenie will take revenge on me.” After all, Queenie looked at her with resentment today.

“She can’t cause any trouble,” Jonathan said. He would naturally help Rosalie solve the hidden danger, Queenie. What made him a little concerned was that someone was hiding in the dark outside today.

Although Jonathan did not see his face clearly, if he guessed correctly, it might be Zachary.

At the intersection last night, Zachary should have seen that Jonathan was with Rosalie, so he came here today to prove it.

“Rosie, do you like living with me like this?” Jonathan asked abruptly.

“I like it,” Rosalie replied without any hesitation.

“So even if I change my identity in the future, will you still want to live with me?” Jonathan asked while staring straight at her.

Rosalie blinked her eyes in confusion as she thought, “Change his identity… Does he mean his identity other than as a vagrant?” Lillian had been saying that Rosalie knew too little about Jonathan and was afraid- that she would suffer losses.

Nevertheless, Rosalie had never asked Jonathan who he was, and she even only knew his name.

Besides, she only knew that he did not have a family.

Lillian said that Jonathan was not like a vagrant, and sometimes Rosalie felt the same way too.

However, if Jonathan did not want to tell Rosalie, she would not take the initiative to ask him. After all, everyone had their own secrets.

“Yes,” Rosalie said gently, “No matter who I am, will you be willing to live with me?” Jonathan said again.

“Yeah, no matter who you are. Is it okay now?” Rosalie smiled and said, “Hurry up. If you don’t eat it, the food will be cold.”

Jonathan also smiled. His thin lips slightly raised, and his eyes curved. Rosalie was in a trance, only to feel that his smile was so beautiful. She thought it must be the definition of a bright smile.

“Zachary, what do you think?” In the gown store, Yvette tried the high–end gown customized by her.

This gown was specially made for her engagement party, and she spent 6 million dollars on it. At this moment, she naturally wanted to see the amazed look in Zachary’s eyes.

Zachary looked at the noble and beautiful Yvette in front of him. Everyone envied that he had a girlfriend like Yvette, who was a celebrity and also a prominent young lady of the Hamilton family. After Melanie passed away, Yvette became the only heir of the Hamilton family. Marrying Yvette meant getting the Hamilton family.

Therefore, Zachary was satisfied and even looked forward to the engagement party.

But now, looking at his girlfriend wearing such a gorgeous gown, he was thinking about the scene he saw last night instead. Jonathan and Rosalie’s faces flashed through his mind.

Until now, Zachary still felt that everything he saw last night was like a dream.

He wondered, “What the hell is going on? And what happened to Rosalie and Jonathan?”

Looking at her fiancé’s absent–minded face, Yvette frowned unhappily. “What’s wrong with you? You spaced out yesterday, and you are still the same today. If you don’t want to get engaged with me, just say it.”

Zachary hurriedly smiled and said, “How could it be? Why don’t I want to get engaged with you? You know I love you wholeheartedly.”

“Wholeheartedly?” Yvette raised her eyebrows. “So you really have no feelings for Rosalie?”

Zachary’s expression stiffened slightly, and then he said in an awkward tone, “Why did you mention her again? We have broken up for three years. How can I still have feelings for her?”

“Then why did you want to introduce her to work before?” Yvette questioned.

“I just think she is pathetic,” Zachary said.

“Why is she pathetic? My sister is pathetic. She died because of Rosalie.” Yvette snorted coldly. “If you dare to pity her again, don’t blame our family for not helping you when Jonathan comes to you in the future.” Zachary’s expression became strange. If it had been in the past, he would not have felt that Yvette’s words were strange. Nevertheless, he was afraid that it was different now with Rosalie’s existence.

After hesitating for a while, Zachary asked tentatively, “Yvette, do you know if Jonathan has had a new woman recently?”

“How is that possible?” Yvette immediately denied it. “Jonathan is famous for not having an interest in women. He hasn’t had any other woman in the past three years!”

Therefore, the people thought Jonathan loved Melanie very much, but only the Hamilton family knew that it might not be true.

However, the Hamilton family would not take the initiative to expose this misunderstanding. Instead, they even hoped that others would have a deeper misunderstanding. Under the protection of the Youngblood family, the Hamilton family could obtain more benefits in the business industry.

Hearing this, Zachary did not say anything more.

When they finished their fitting and walked out of the gown store, a car drove in front of them. Zachary and Yvette knew the person who got out of the car. It was Carlos, Jonathan’s personal assistant.

“Mr. Gibson, why are you here?” Yvette asked curiously.

Meanwhile, Zachary stiffened and had a bad feeling.

Carlos smiled and said, “I’m here to invite Mr. Xanthos.” Then, he looked at Zachary and said, “Mr.

Xanthos, Mr. Youngblood wants to meet you.”

Zachary’s hunch came true. He took a deep breath and said, “Okay. I’ll go with you to meet Mr.

Youngblood.”

“Zachary, what’s going on?” Yvette asked.

Zachary said with a gloomy face, “Let’s talk about it when I come back.” Then, he got in the car with Carlos.

Looking at the car driving away, Yvette was confused. Meanwhile, Zachary in the car looked at Carlos with a hesitant look and said, “Mr.

Gibson, do you know why Mr. Youngblood wants to meet me?”
