Chapter 59

“Are you going there?” Jonathan asked.

Rosalie nodded. “Well, it’s just that you…” She hesitated for a moment and asked, “Do you want to come with me?”

Jonathan pondered for a while and said, “I have to work overtime on New Year’s Eve. The boss said that I would get three times my salary. Well, Rosie, why don’t you leave me the address? I’ll go to meet you on the first day of the new year.”

“Okay,” Rosalie said, but then she bit her lip slightly and hesitated. “But when you go there with me, some relatives might react badly. Please don’t take it personally.”

Jonathan smiled softly. “Don’t worry. I won’t care.”

Rosalie was the only one he cared about now.

The closer it was to the new year, the fewer people on the road. Many outsiders went back to their hometowns.

Rosalie’s mother’s hometown was a small town near Strico, which was not far away. It would take about an hour and a half to get there by car, so the tickets were relatively easy to grab.

Rosalie said to Jonathan when booking the ticket, “Jon, do you have an ID card? I’ll book you a ticket.”

Speaking of which, she had not even seen his ID card.

“I’ve booked the ticket,” Jonathan said.

Hearing this, Rosalie did not say anything more. Instead, she took out the scarf she had knitted the past days and gave it to Jonathan.

“Is it a little short?” Rosalie looked at the scarf and said.

“No, it suits me just fine,” Jonathan said. The scarf seemed to have Rosalie’s breath, which made him feel like he was surrounded by her. “Then I’ll wrap the scarf up later so that you can wear it during the new year. It will take some time to get the gloves done before the new year,” Rosalie said.

Lillian originally wanted to visit Rosalie during the new year, but when she heard that Rosalie was going to her mother’s hometown, Lillian could not help but get worried.

**

“Are you going alone?”

“Jon will be there to accompany me on the first day of the new year,” Rosalie said.

“But the relatives of your mother’s family, they…” Lillian knew how heartless those people were when Rosalie was in trouble.

They showed different faces when they wanted to obtain benefits and also when Rosalie was in trouble.

“I want to see Granny. I haven’t seen her since I was released from prison. I wonder how she is now,”

Rosalie said. Wilma was the only warmth.

there.

“If anything happens, just call me. I’ll be home for days during the new year,” Lillian said.

“What else could happen?” Rosalie laughed. “I’m just going back to my hometown, not to fight.”

“Who knows if your relatives will stir up trouble?” Lillian muttered.

“Don’t worry. I just want to see Granny and will come back in two days,” Rosalie lowered her eyes and said in a low voice.

On New Year’s Eve, Rosalie set off early in the morning and told Jonathan to be careful before leaving.

“Okay. Rosie, I got it,” Jonathan said with a smile.

After Rosalie left, Jonathan looked at the tiny rental home and felt lonely. He picked up the scarf Rosalie put on the desk and wrapped it around his neck, smiling slightly.

When Jonathan walked out of the rental home, Carlos had been waiting outside for a long time. He was stunned when he saw Jonathan. Jonathan did not like wearing a scarf at all, but he was wearing a plain scarf now.

When Jonathan approached, Carlos looked at the wool on the scarf and the weaving method. He could almost tell that it was a hand–woven scarf.

There seemed to be only one answer for the person who made Jonathan wear the hand–woven scarf.

Carlos thought the scarf should be made by Rosalie!

“Mr. Youngblood, we’re going to…”

“Go to the hospital. We should have a New Year’s Eve dinner with Mr. Leonard Youngblood today.”

Jonathan ordered.

10-370 “Yes,” Carlos answered. He started the car and drove in the direction of the hospital.

The bus stopped not far from an elevated exit outside the town, and Rosalie got off. Even this town seemed to have changed a lot in the past three years. Some mud roads had been renovated into cement roads. On the way, Rosalie met some of Wilma’s neighbors. They pointed at her and gossiped.

Rosalie was already used to these things.

Since she was released from prison, those who had known her before could not avoid talking about her after seeing her.

When Rosalie came to Wilma’s house, it was crowded with relatives.

When his uncle, Edward Lopez saw her, he squeezed out a smile and said, “It’s Rosalie. Come on, come in and sit down. We’ve been waiting for you for so long.”

Rosalie was a little surprised. Edward had asked someone to send a message to her in the detention center after she had an accident so that she would not get them involved.

“Come on, sit down!” Rosalie’s aunt, Sarah Haberly, also walked over with enthusiasm and took her to sit down. Then, Daniel Lopez, Sabrina Lopez, Emily Lopez, and other relatives surrounded Rosalie warmly.

Rosalie was confused. “Where is Granny?” she asked.

“Granny is taking a nap now. You can meet her after she wakes up,” said Sarah.

Daniel, who was next to her, said, “Rosalie, since you are out of prison now, you have to be a good person. There is no one around you now. Women always need to find a man to rely on. I’ll introduce a nice man to you later.”

“Uncle Daniel, I don’t want to find a boyfriend now.” Rosalie refused.

“Hey, what’s wrong with you?” Daniel seemed to want to say something more, but Sarah gave him a look, and he immediately stopped talking.

At this moment, Wilma, Rosalie’s grandmother, was quarreling with Luke.

“I don’t agree. I absolutely disagree with letting Rosalie marry that fool. It is going to ruin her life!”

Wilma shouted.

Luke snorted, “Her life has been destroyed for a long time. What do you think she can do after being released from prison? I have asked around. She’s just a person who sweeps the road now, so why not let her marry 10.475 someone since she is young? As the Foster family said, they will support Rosalie for the rest of her life if she can give birth to a baby. I’m looking out for her.”

“You said you are looking out for her, but you’re greedy for the Foster family’s money!” Wilma said with hatred, “You want to sell Rosalie!” “Mom, why are you saying that we are selling Rosalie?” Sarah rushed over and said, “Dad also did it for our family. Henry and Richard are both planning to get married. Now when Rosalie gets married, Henry and Richard can at least make a down payment to buy a house in town with the Foster family’s 60,000 dollars. Mom, you can’t let your grandsons not get married.”
