Chapter 429
The Ceo’s Convict Wife
âSure,â Rosalie replied. From the information she had gathered earlier, Lucas and Larry were driving one after the other when the incident happened.
It could be said that Lucas was actually the eyewitness to the incident.
If Rosalie wanted to know more about the details of the case, she could ask Lucas.
âItâs almost time for dinner. Would you like to have dinner together?â Lucas proposed after checking the time.
âNo, thank you,â Rosalie rejected with a smile. It was apparent that she deliberately kept a distance from Lucas.
Although she had no idea whether Lucas was still interested in her, she did not want to give him any false signals.
âI still have something to tell you about this case and think of talking about it during dinner later. It wonât take much time,â Lucas added.
Rosalie hesitated for a moment before replying, âIn that case, letâs split the bill then.â
âNo problem.â Lucas smiled bashfully.
He felt happy as long as she was willing to have dinner with him.
Lillian went to Rosalie and happened to see Rosalie alighted from a car at the entrance of the residential area of her rented place, and the driver was even a man.
However, she could only see Rosalie exchange a few words with the man with a smile, waved goodbye to him, and the car drove away after that.
Wondering what was going on, Lillian hurried toward Rosalieâs side and asked, âRosalie, who was that man?â
Rosalie was startled by the sudden appearance of Lillian. âWhat are you doing here?â
âIâm here to visit you. Tell me. Who was that man who just sent you back? Both of you look quite familiar to each other.â Lillianâs urge to gossip was burning within her heart like fire.
Rosalie smiled helplessly as she replied, âHeâs my ex-colleague in the Environment and Sanitation Administration, but he has left the job and become a shareholder of an automotive workshop now. I received a case today. The victim happened to be his colleague in the automotive workshop, and he himself was an eyewitness. Thus, we had dinner together, and he sent -me back after that.â
âThatâs it?â Lillian looked disappointed.
âWhat did you expect otherwise?â Rosalie asked rhetorically.
âI thought you had a target now,â Lillian muttered.
Rosalie burst into laughter. âLillian, I wonât get into a relationship anymore.â
Lillian suddenly paused in her tracks and looked at Rosalie in shock. âEven if you failed once, you shouldnât-â, âItâs not once but twice,â Rosalie corrected. âTo me, it feels horrible to be dumped so easily every time.
So, I donât want to have such feelings anymore.â
Lillian felt sorry for her. âMaybe you can meet someone who really deserves your love the third time.
Who knows?â
âItâs better to spend time where I truly want to rather than in love. Maybe Iâm just not born to be in a relationship. Besides, youâre also aware that itâs actually very difficult for me to have children. How many men in this world are willing not to have their own children?â
Lillian suddenly embraced Rosalie. âDonât say that about yourself. Thereâs no absolute thing in this world. Those who really like you and love you will certainly accept those. Also, from now on, my children will be yours. Our children will have two mothers.â
Lillianâs voice was choked with sobs. She did not like Rosalie to say those words again, as it made her feel as if the latter had been through everything in her life.
In fact, Rosalie, who was only 28 years old, was still young.
Rosalie felt a tingling sensation in her nose and hugged Lillian in return. âSure. Your children are my child, and our children will have two mothers.â
At the same time, she thought, âLillian is probably the only person in this world who will never give up on me. What can I do to repay her kindness? Perhaps it will never be enough, even if it takes the rest of my life to do that.â
In the next few days, Rosalie had been busy collecting information about the case and naturally had more frequent contact with Lucas.
They had eaten together several times, but Rosalie had insisted on splitting the bills every time.
âI bet Lucas like you. In fact, I think heâs good and has a sense of righteousness.â Lillian happened to meet Lucas and even chatted with him for a while when she went to Rosalie.
Lillian had a good impression of Lucas. Although the man had an ordinary look, he was honest, reliable, and a little shy. His face would blush when he looked at Rosalie.
Such a pure man was rare nowadays.
âHeâs good but not suitable for me. He can find a better match,â Rosalie said.
Because of that, even when Lillian was having dinner with Callum, she was still thinking about whether Rosalie and Lucas could get into a relationship one day.
âWhat are you thinking about?â A voice suddenly sounded in her ears.
Lillian was startled and came back to her senses abruptly. A beautiful face then came into her sight at close range She exclaimed inwardly, âGoodness gracious! When did Callum get so close to me?â
âIâm thinkingâ¦â she muttered, only to feel that her brain was starting to lose focus.
Such a beautiful face was like the male leadâs face in a comic. It was so close to her that she could easily be distracted. âHmm?â He raised his eyebrows slightly.
The sight made Lillian about having a nosebleed and lunge into his arms.
It was true that men with stunning appearances were also a test of willpower for women.
âTell me. What are you thinking about just now? You look lost in your thoughts.â The magnetic voice sounded from his thin lips was like a kind of temptation.
âIâm thinking⦠about Lucas,â she murmured.
âLucas?â Callum frowned as it sounded like a maleâs name. He asked, âWhat are you thinking about him?â
âI think heâs quite a pure man and always blushes. I wonder-â
âLillian, donât forget who your boyfriend is!â Callumâs face suddenly darkened. He wondered what was on her mind, as she had just confessed her love for him a few days ago but thought about another man now.
Callum stared at Lillian with his beautiful eyes and tore the man named Lucas into pieces in his heart.
Lillian felt her scalp tingle when she saw Callumâs reaction. Knowing that he had misunderstood her, she quickly explained, âNo, no, no. Of course, I remember you are my boyfriend. Iâm thinking about Lucas because of Rosalie.â
âWhat do you mean?â he asked suspiciously
