Chapter 457
The Ceo’s Convict Wife
Rosalie hadnât seen Lucas for a few days. She thought he had figured it out, but at that moment, she could sense from the way he looked at her as if he hadnât given her up.
âIâm not free today. Iâm going to pick up a child. Iâve promised to go to the amusement park with him today. The clue you are talking aboutâ¦â Rosalie was put in a dilemma.
After all, she did not want to break her promise to Aiden nor wanted to see his disappointed expression, but that clue was about work.
Besides, they would have more possibilities to ask for compensation for Larry with more clues.
Recalling Larry in a coma on the hospital bed, Rosalie genuinely wanted to help that young man and his family.
âThen Iâll send you to pick up the child so that I can tell you about it on the way,â Lucas said.
Rosalie pondered for a while and decided to get into Lucasâ car since she thought it would not clash with her upcoming date.
On the way, Lucas was driving while talking about the details he remembered carefully.
At that time, his car was behind Larryâs vehicle, so he was the first to witness the collision and the two people who got out of the car. However, the detail was that the two were getting out of it from the doors on the side of the driverâs seat.
Rosalie was shocked.
When she read through the investigation report from the police, it clearly stated that there were two people, one sitting in the driverâs seat and one in the passenger seat.
She analyzed inwardly, âIf they came out from one direction at the same time, one should be from a driverâs seat and another from a back seat. Of course, thereâs another possibility. Thatâs⦠It was possible that the driver and passenger deliberately switched their identities.â
âAre you sure?â Rosalie asked.
âShould be correct. Itâs just that at that time, the police didnât ask, and I didnât say anything. Then, when I saw someone get out of the car, I suddenly thought of this detail again. I felt strange, so I came to you,â Lucas said.
Rosalie pondered and got through the records of the case in her mind. She mused, âThere were no surveillance cameras at the scene, so everything was concluded based on the situation at that time and the testimony of witnesses. And what Lucas said now might be enough to overturn the previous police investigation report.â
At that moment, they had arrived at Aidenâs side. The little boy and Matilda were already standing by the intersection, waiting for them.
As soon as Aiden saw Rosalie, he smiled happily. But then he turned to look at Lucas, who stood beside Rosalie, curiously and asked in a childlike voice, âDoes he go to the amusement park with us?â
Before Rosalie could answer, Lucas leaned down and asked Aiden, âSo, can I go to the amusement park with you?â
Aiden blinked while looking at the seemingly honest man before him and then nodded.
Lucas showed a relieved expression..
Then, Rosalie saw Lucas smiling at her shyly again.
âCan I? I can be your driver today, and when we have spare time⦠we can talk about the case againâ¦
In truth, I havenât been to an amusement park for a long time, and I miss it.â
Looking at Lucas and the excited Aiden at the side, Rosalie felt bad for rejecting him in front of the child, so she nodded, agreeing.
Thus, the three of them went to the amusement park together. On their way, Lucas took the initiative to talk with Aiden.
Unexpectedly, Aiden was not shy with Lucas, particularly when Lucas talked about the little toys that he played with during childhood, which made Aidenâs eyes brighten. He even asked Lucas excitedly about the specific details of the toys of that era that he had never heard of before.
When they arrived at the amusement park, they went to buy tickets at the ticket counter.
Aiden looked at a little girl sitting on her fatherâs shoulder in the queue at the counter next to them, looking around adorably.
Rosalie noticed that Aiden had been looking at the little girl and her father.
She knew that Aiden had grown up with Amelia and Matilda since birth and only met his biological father, Warren, once. In his view, he did not have a father.
He had never experienced such a fatherâs act of lifting his child high and riding on the shoulder.
That was why Aiden looked at that girl with envy.
Rosalie was wondering if she should buy something to distract Aiden. The next moment, Lucas bent down and said, âHere, how about I lift you high and ride on my shoulder?â
Then he lifted Aiden and let him ride on his shoulder.
Rosalie looked at Lucasâ actions in a slight stun. She mused, âHeâs actually more thoughtful than I thought. He noticed Aidenâs envy for the little girl, so he let Aiden ride on his shoulder like this.â
âRosalie, Iâm high up here!â Aidenâs excited voice sounded, and Rosalieâs gaze landed on his happy little face.
She suddenly thought, âIt seems to be a good choice to come to the amusement park with Lucas and Aiden today.â
The day at the amusement park, Aiden had a good time. After sunset, Lucas drove while Aiden fell asleep in Rosalieâs arms.
âThank you for today,â Rosalie said. That day, Lucas was like a temporary replacement for the role of father. Some games that a child should be played with a father, and he would play with Aiden.
T Aiden also had a great time in the amusement park.
She mused, âPerhaps, in childrenâs growth, especially boys, a fatherâs existence is indeed important to them. Itâs justâ¦â Rosalie sighed unconsciously when she thought of the relationship between Warren and Amelia.
âIâm also very happy today. Thank you for allowing me to go with you guys,â Lucas replied with a smile.
Rosalie bit her lip slightly and said, âWell⦠I made it clear to you last time. I have-â
âI know!â Lucas hurriedly interrupted Rosalie. He added, âI know youâre not interested in me. Donât worry. I wonât do anything that crosses the boundary. But, at least for now⦠I donât want to change my mind that I like you.â
âWeâll have no future together.â Rosalie sighed. She knew Lucas was a good man, so she did not want him to waste his time on her.
âHow do you know weâll have no future if you havenât tried?â Lucas smiled shyly, but there was a rare persistence in his smile. âYou donât have to give me any response. If you meet someone you like one day, Iâll also send you my blessing.â
