Chapter 94
The Ceo’s Convict Wife
Rosalie did not sleep all night the day before yesterday. As for the previous night, she could not fall asleep because of Wilmaâs issue. Thus, at that moment, she felt unsteady while walking.
After walking for a while, Rosalie brushed against someone. She staggered and fell to the ground.
Fortunately, the clothes she was wearing were relatively thick. Hence, it did not hurt much.
Just when she was about to stand up, someone ran quickly to her side and helped her up.
Rosalie looked up and was surprised to see it was Lucas.
âWhy are youâ¦â
âMy car is parked by the roadside. Let me give you a ride,â said Lucas. Previously, Rosalie rejected Lucasâ offer to drive her home. However, Lucas was still worried about Rosalie, so he followed behind her in his car.
âThereâs no need. I can go back myself, Rosalie replied.
âYou fell after gently brushing against someoneâs shoulder. It worries me if you go back alone. My car is over there. If we continue wasting time here, Iâll be fined when the traffic police figure it out, Lucas said.âs Seeing that Lucas insisted, Rosalie let out a sigh. She then followed him and got in the car.
Lucas drove in the direction of Rosalieâs rental home.
âYou donât have to worry. I wonât force you to do anything after giving you a ride. I know Iâm not good at anything; Iâm not as capable as your ex-boyfriend. Itâs just that Iâm afraid something bad will happen to you on your way back. Iâll feel more at ease if I send you home,â Lucas said earnestly.
âThank you.â Rosalie said. Currently, what happened in the past was merely like a dream to her.
âNow, Iâm actually the one who is not good enough. How many good-natured men would marry a woman who had been in prison?â she thought.
âTwo days ago, I saw you get into a Porsche. Lucas hesitated as he added, âIf you can really find a good partner, I⦠Iâll be happy for you too, Yet⦠Iâm afraid you will be fooled. You have to get to know him more before-â
âHe is not my partner, Rosalie interrupted Lucas. âItâs just that I found the personâs belongings, so he treated me to a meal to thank me.â
âI see. A hopeful smile seemingly blossomed on Lucasâ face.
After a short while, the car arrived at the entrance of Rosalieâs residential area. Rosalie looked at Lucas and said, âLucas, you are a very good person. Itâs just that Iâm not suitable for you. Please donât waste your time on the anymore. You will definitely meet someone great in the future.â
âBut, to me, youâre great.â Lucasâ face was reddened as he continued, âI can wait for youâ¦
âAs youâve said, my ex-boyfriend is a rich man. If I were to get married, the man has to meet the minimum standard. Otherwise, I wonât choose marriage. Thus, we are not suitable for each other. Do you understand?â Rosalie said ruthlessly. Perhaps only in this way could she make Lucas give up.
âItâll be better to get over the pain than prolong the agony. Lucas is a great guy. I wonât be so harsh with words if he isnât being so persistent,â Rosalie mused.
Lucas looked utterly dejected. He was in a daze as he fixated his gaze on Rosalie.
âOkay. Iâm getting out of the car. Thank you for today. You donât have to send me home again.â As Rosalie spoke, she opened the car door and got out of the car. Then, she walked toward the entrance to the residential area.
Behind her came the sound of a car starting and then driving away.
Rosalie paused in her tracks. As she slowly turned around, she watched the car gradually fade into the distance.
âPerhaps Hl never get to incet another man as sincere as him in the future. He didnât treat me with disdain even though I had been in prison. Anyhow⦠I donât want him to be implicated, Rosalie thought.
After the car disappeared from her sight, Rosalie turned around and slowly walked into the residential area.
At this moment, she did not notice the black Bentley parked by the roadside not far away. Someone in the car lazily glanced out of the window. At the same time, lie subtly raised the corners of his mouth into a faint smile as if he had just witnessed an interesting scene.
Nevertheless, Carlos, who sat in front, was panic-stricken as he looked at Jonathan through the rearview mirror. âMr. Youngbloodâs current expression⦠Itâs obvious that heâs about to lose his temper!â
Carlos exclaimed internally.
Carlos couldnât help but blame Rosalie deep down. âJust come back herself when she said she wanted to go home. Donât she know Mr. Youngblood may overthink things when another man sends her home?â Carlos grumbled internally.
Initially, Carlos thought it was a good thing to let Jonathan meet Rosalie However, at that moment, Carlos wondered if he should be worrying about himself. âPlease I donât want Mr. Youngblood to vent his anger on me due to Rosalie, Carlos remarked silently.
âMr. Youngblood, this. I think perhaps something happened so Ms. Leighton needed someone to send her home. Carlos said, breaking the silence in the car Jonathan raised his gaze and looked at Carlos Smiling half-heartedly, Jonathan asked. âWhat Do you want to intercede on behalf of her?â
All of a sudden, a shiver ran down Carlosâ spine. He had no choice but to shut his mouth.
âWell, it seems like Rosalie is the one who shouldd worry about herselfâ Carlos thought.
Meanwhile, Rosalie had already returned to her rental home. After turning on the lights, she put the fast food meal she bought from the cafeteria in the residential area on the table. It cost her 1 dollar and 60 cents. Then, she walked into the bathroom to wash her hands.
As she was doing dirty and heavy jobs daily, her hands were no longer fair and delicate âI hope I didnât hurt Lucas too deeply with my words today, Rosalie thought Seconds later, she chuckled as she realized that if her words did not hurt Lucas deeply enough, he might waste more time on her while trying to express his affection. With that, Rosalie felt quite conflicted either way.
She sighed and looked up at herself in the mirror on the wall. Now she was in a lot of trouble as she did not know what to do with Danielâs affairs and Wilmaâs illness.
The moment Rosalie walked out of the bathroom, she stiffened at once Jonathan was sitting at the small dining table and was fiddling with a key at the same time It was her rental home key that she had given to him previously Later, in the hospital, she did not ask him to return the key. As the door lock of her rental home had not been changed, it was naturally very convenient for him to enter âYou⦠Why are you here?â Rosalie questioned uncomfortably âIf I donât come here, how do I know someone sent you backâ As Jonathan spoke, he stood up and walked toward Rosalie âIs the person who sent you home today from the Environment and Sanitation Administration? Is he the driver surnamed Lucas Rosalie was shocked. âDid he witness the scene of Lucas sending me back? she wondered.
For a moment, she pursed her lips and remained silent.
Jonathan walked over and stood right in front of Rosalie Suddenly, he held her chin. âWhy? Did you refuse to stay by my side because of that man? What does he mean to you?â
âItâs none of your business!â Rosalie wanted to turn her head away. Unfortunately, Jonathanâs finger was so strong that she could not move even by an inch
