Chapter 661
The Ceo’s Convict Wife
âVery much so. You are my⦠Uh, youâre the father of my kids, so how could I possibly not care about you?â
âIf I werenât the kidsâ father, would you not care?â Jonathan asked in return.
Rosalie was torn between amusement and exasperation. Inwardly, she lamented, âDonât tell me heâs even jealous of the kids?â
âOf course, I would!â she immediately replied, for even a dumbo knew the correct answer to that question right then.
But then, he was the person she loved. Because of her love for him, she loved their children all the more.
As she spoke, she lifted her hand and gently caressed his head. âAll right, Iâm concerned about Lillian and Amelia because they really need help now. Besides, they have helped me a lot, especially Lillian. If it werenât for her, I might not be able to see you again.â
âInstead, I wouldâve died in the cold prison,â she added soundlessly. Something seemed to occur to Jonathan, and his eyes flickered slightly. âI know Lillian is your safe harbor. Therefore, as long as itâs a matter related to her, you will help her to the end, no matter what. In fact, is she more important to you than I am?â
Rosalie laughed. âHow could you compare it like that? My feelings for you both are different!â
âWhat if I insist on an answer?â Jonathan pressed.
Rosalie hesitated for a while, looking at the person in front of her seriously. âTo me, you two are people that I will risk my life for.â
Jonathanâs gaze abruptly darkened.
Actually, he knew better than anyone how loyal she was. As long as others treated her well, she would repay the person twofold. Moreover, Lillian once gave up her entire future for Rosalie.
âIn those three years, Lillian was the one who stayed by her side. Speaking of that, I should be grateful to Lillian. At the very least, I should be satisfied since Iâm no less important to her than Lillian. And didnât she say that she loved me? She has already given me what I want. But why am I still unsatisfied?
Iâm still greedy for much moreâ¦â he thought to himself.
11:22 âWhen will you also think of me as your safe harbor, Rosalie?â Jonathan murmured. Internally, he thought, âIf so, will she need me even more? Hopefully, sheâll need me to the point where she canât live without me!â For lunch, Jonathan chose a private room. He ordered some sweet and sour dishes according to Rosalieâs tastes.
Ever since Rosalie got pregnant, her tastes had changed. Presently, she liked sour and sweet food.
âUm, you can also order some other dishes. You donât need to accommodate my tastes,â Rosalie said.
âIâm not exactly accommodating you.â Smiling, Jonathan said, âYouâre pregnant, but I canât help you shoulder any of the burden. If I eat the same food as you, I can at least experience it somewhat. Itâll make me feel Iâm accompanying you through this pregnancy.â
Hearing that, Rosalie couldnât help but giggle. âHeâs the only person who can think of such an explanation!â she exclaimed inwardly.
The food at that restaurant was indeed good. Thanks to that, Rosalie had a great appetite.
However, while eating, she suddenly felt a little sick. So, she made a gesture and hurried out of the private room, striding toward the restroom at the end of the corridor.
The female bodyguard keeping watch outside the private room hurriedly followed.
Only then did Jonathan take out his phone and give Carlos, who was eating with the driver in the lobby outside, a call. âWhat did you want to say in the car just now?â
Carlos was surprised, for he didnât expect Jonathan to notice it.
Because Rosalie was also in the car earlier, he could not give voice to what he wanted to say.
âThe report from over there indicated that Callum and the new daughter of the Tall family looked very intimate together. Besides, the Tall family seemed to be secretly making some arrangements. Iâm afraid theyâre planning to help Callum regain power.â
âCallum and the new daughter of from the Tall family?â Jonathan mused.
âDonât tell Rosie about this first, lest she become anxious and overthink things. Hold it off until weâve gotten to the bottom of the matter. Find out the relationship between Callum and that daughter of the Tall family,â
11:220 Jonathan ordered.
âOkay, got it,â Carlos answered.
Meanwhile, Rosalie finally felt much better after vomiting in the bathroom for some time.
Speaking of which, her first trimester had passed, but her morning sickness persisted. She also consulted some materials and doctors, learning that it depended on the individual and the personâs constitution. Some people would experience it until they had given birth.
With morning sickness, less nutrition was provided to children. Consequently, more was needed.
The most direct way to supplement nutrition was likely by eating. Smiling bitterly, Rosalie looked at her abdomen, which was still not obvious. âIt seems like Iâve got to eat more!â she surmised soundlessly.
She then left the restroom and headed for the private rooms. Subsequently, she pushed open the door of one of them.
âMrs. Youngblood!â the bodyguard behind her hurriedly cried out. Alas, it was clearly too late. Rosalie had already opened the door to the private room.
Immediately, Rosalie realized that she had entered the wrong private room. Everyone in the room swung their gazes at her.
Rosalie swept her eyes over the people in front of her, upon which her heart abruptly sank.
They were all people she knew. There were Yvette, Zachary, and some of the latterâs friends. When Rosalie became Zacharyâs girlfriend in the past, he brought her into his Instagram, and she got acquainted with many of his friends.
At that time, his friends would teasingly call her âMrs. Xanthosâ and the like. But right then, it all became a huge joke.
At that moment, Zachary stared at Rosalie, who stepped in, unknowingly dazed. Speaking of which, he hadnât seen her for a long time. Right then, she was thinner than he remembered. The loose white dress on her made her look skinny.
However, she looked much better than before. Her countenance was still the same, but it seemed like her gloominess in the past had disappeared. It was replaced with a vibrant sense of gentleness and perseverance. She emanated the same allure as when he first made her acquaintance.
Accurately speaking, it wasnât as sharp as before but restrained after precipitating in time, yet far more attractive.
Beside him, Yvette frowned as she glared at Zachary, who was looking at Rosalie in a trance.
Unhappily, she reached out secretly and tugged at his arm.
Zachary suddenly came back to his senses. Meeting Yvetteâs displeased gaze, he was immediately frustrated and embarrassed.
