Chapter 403
The Ceo’s Convict Wife
At least she still had a lawyerâs license to take on her favorite job again.
âThen Iâll go with you. I drove here today, so it will be easier,â Lillian said.
They went to the real estate agency. Rosalie wasnât very picky about the house she wanted to rent, so she found a suitable place in no time.
She inspected the house in the morning and directly signed the rental agreement with the house owner in the afternoon.
The cost of the house was 340 dollars a month. The transportation was quite convenient, and there were also supermarkets and restaurants in the area, so it was quite convenient to live there.
However, Lillian thought the area was not very safe. The people there seemed shady. She was worried that Rosalie would have safety problems.
Rosalie responded to that concern by saying, âI am not going to live here for the rest of my life. Iâm just going to live here temporarily. When my income has stabilized, Iâll move to another place. Besides, I will try my best not to go out at night.
Itâll be fine.â
Lillian thought about it and could only accept Rosalieâs decision for now.
In the afternoon, Lillian drove back and helped Rosalie move in. They bought some kitchenware and cleaned up the rental home. After a long day, they were almost done.
Before she left, Lillian reminded Rosalie, âIf anything happens, just call me! Youâre no trouble. Donât try to shoulder everything by yourself. Okay?â
âGot it,â she replied. As Lillian was about to leave the house, Rosalie couldnât help but rush over and hug her.
âWhatâs wrong?â Lillian was stunned.
âLillian, Iâm glad to have you by my side,â Rosalie murmured.
If it werenât for Lillian, Rosalie might have collapsed at the station yesterday.
Whenever she was in the depths of despair, Lillian would always be there for her.
It was Lillian who kept pulling her back from the abyss.
Lillian patted Rosalie. âIâve told you we will be lifelong friends. So remember that Iâll be by your side no matter what happens!â
âOkay,â Rosalie responded in a slightly nasal voice.
âI owe Lillian too much. If she needs anything in the future, Iâll repay her kindness with everything I have,â Rosalie said inwardly.
Rosalie looked around her rental home after sending Lillian off. It was about the same size as the one she had rented before, except for a separate kitchen.
It had a bedroom, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom. It was considered very cheap with a price of 340 dollars.
âIâm back to my own life again! Itâs nothing different! Letâs just treat the days of dating Jonathan as an absurd dream. After waking up from this dream, Iâm still me!â Rosalie encouraged herself.
Rosalie left her rental home and took a bus to Ameliaâs diner.
Rosalie thought, âI didnât ask Ms. Haab and Aiden to come over yesterday. I just said a few words on the phone in a hurry, so she was probably still worried about me. I wonder if Aiden was disappointed.
I heard from Ms. Haab that Aiden has spent some time choosing a birthday gift for me.â
When she thought of Aiden, Rosalie felt a tug of love in her heart. She couldnât help but feel a surge of motherly love when she looked at him. She even thought that it would be great if she could give birth to a smart, sensible, and cute child like Aiden in the future.
At the same time, Rosalie looked down at her flat stomach.
She was afraid she wouldnât be able to have a child of her own in her life. Due to her physical condition, she used to think she could not get pregnant.
As for now, although her body could be cured, she was physically and mentally exhausted. She no longer had the courage to believe in so-called love.
It was already past 7 p.m. when Rosalie reached the diner. She had managed to avoid the peak dinner hour.
âYouâre here!â When Amelia saw Rosalie, she greeted her immediately. She looked at Rosalieâs haggard face and asked, âHave you eaten? Why donât you order something to eat?â
âIâll have spaghetti bolognese then. I havenât had that in a long time,â Rosalie replied after thinking for a moment.
âOkay. Have a seat first.â Amelia then ordered the kitchen to prepare it for Rosalie.
Soon, a plate of spaghetti bolognese full of meat was served. âLetâs eat. Itâs to celebrate your belated birthday!â
âThank you.â Rosalie lowered her head and began to eat the spaghetti quietly.
Amelia didnât disturb her. She served other customers while she cleaned up. She continued to run her diner.
It was only after Rosalie finished her pasta that Amelia sat back at the table again.
âWhat happened yesterday? Did something happen to you?â Amelia asked worriedly.
âSomething did happen. Jonathan and I have broken up. I have moved out of the Youngblood residence,â Rosalie responded calmly.
After one night, she could say these words calmly. She decided that she had to be able to let go of her relationship.
Amelia was shocked when she heard the news. Rosalieâs calmness made her feel even more sorry for her.
âI am also a person who has experienced emotional relationships. How could I not know the pain of breaking up? If you were really in love before, how can you be so calm after breaking up? The calmness is just a struggle to suppress the pain,â Amelia said to herself.
However, Amelia didnât know what to say to Rosalie in such a situation. After all, she was also a loser in her own love life.
At that time, she didnât know what comfort she could give.
âPerhaps only time can truly heal all these sufferings,â Amelia thought.
âMs. Haab, donât worry. Iâm not as fragile as you think I am!â Rosalie noticed the worry in Ameliaâs eyes, so she tried her best to put on a smile.
âBy the way, I bought this cake for Aiden. I didnât have a chance to treat him to my birthday cake yesterday. Please bring this to him. When Iâm free, Iâll take him to the amusement park and treat him to a bigger cake.â
âAiden will be very happy if he hears this. He is going to give you the birthday present he has picked for you,â Amelia said.
âMs. Haab, you are so lucky to have such a lovely child as Aiden.â Rosalie couldnât help but envy her.
âYes, I feel blessed too.â Ameliaâs eyes flashed with tenderness at the mention of her son, even though her relationship with Warren had been utterly painful.
However, Aiden was all she needed in her life.
She lived only to keep Aiden company and see him grow up.
Amelia looked at the time after Rosalie left. It was almost time to close her diner, so she tidied up, closed the doors and windows, and pulled down the rolling shutter. When she turned around with the cake that Rosalie bought for Aiden, she was completely stunned.
