The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike

Chapter 416

Rosalie was ridiculed by colleagues who welcomed her to the new company not long ago. Meanwhile, Elodia was

smiling like a winner.

It was what she wanted to see. The more embarrassed Rosalie was, the better she felt.

If it were not for Rosalie, she would not have been dismissed by her original law firm which led to difficulty in finding

a job later.

A male colleague could not bear it anymore and said, “What’s come over you guys? Rosalie never said she would

treat us to this meal. Since everyone has eaten the meal, let’s split the bill.”

When he said this, the others were also embarrassed to say anything more.

After all, Rosalie never said that. Besides, everyone present was from the same firm, and no one would shamelessly

refuse to

pay.

The male colleague calculated the money each of them had to pay. When he approached the waiter to settle the

bill, the waiter said, “Someone has already paid for this meal, so there’s no need to pay again.”

“What?” Everyone in the private room was surprised.

Someone had paid the bill that cost around 15,000 dollars.

“Could you have made a mistake? None of us has paid for it,” Elodia said.

dia sajd.

“There’s no mistake.” The waiter smiled and left the private room.

People in the private room looked at each other.

They wondered who paid the bill.

Then, everyone unconsciously focused their gazes on Rosalie, who shakily held her bag and said, “Alright… We’ve

settled the bill. Can I go now…”

As she spoke, she staggered out of the private room.

She was more dizzy now, that she could hardly see the road ahead.

Rosalie wondered if Jonathan settled the bill. He was the only one who would pay a bill worth around 15,000 dollars

without a word.

She had broken up with him, but she still owed him.

Rosalie smiled bitterly. She had broken up with him and told herself that she could rely on herself in the future,

but… she let Jonathan save her again today.

She walked on and did not even know how she got out of Night Sky.

“Um…” She suddenly squatted down and threw up on the roadside.

She had not eaten much tonight, so she had nothing to throw up anymore after a while.

Rosalie felt sick… She was dizzy, and her stomach seemed to be churning. All she could see was the dark night and

neon lights.

She wondered if she was drunk.

She eventually figured out that she must be drunk.

She felt like she was walking on air, and Tracy and Wilma’s faces seemed to appear before her.

They were smiling gently at her as if silently telling her to be strong. Even if she was alone, she should live well and

stay strong.

“I’ll… stay alive…” she murmured.

It would make her loved ones rest in peace.

Therefore, it did not matter even if she was alone.

It also did not matter even if she had no one to rely on.

“You can rely on me from now on.”

A voice seemed to ring in her ears. “Who was it? Who was talking?” Rosalie wondered.

“Rosie, rely on me more. I want you to rely on me. I want you to rely on me so much that you can’t leave me.

Rosalie wondered who said that. It sounded so sweet yet sad that she wanted to cry.

“I will protect you for the rest of your life. I will never let you suffer any grievances nor let anyone hurt you.”

It was Jon’s voice. It was what he had said to her before.

Rosalie squatted on the ground, thinking all she could hear were the things Jonathan had said to her before.

“Don’t think about these anymore. Stop thinking about it…” she kept telling herself in her head.

Then, there were footsteps again, and they sounded so clear.

Rosalie wondered whose footsteps they were.

A pair of black leather shoes came into view.

She slowly raised her head to see the familiar face.

It was Jonathan’s face… Just like what she saw today in Night Sky.

Rosalie wondered if it was because she was drunk that she not only had an auditory hallucination but also an

illusion.

Rosalie struggled to stand and said to the figure in front of her with tears and laughter, “Don’t… show up in front of

me anymore.”

It was because she felt more upset when he appeared in front of her. He would upset her when she had already

calmed down.

Jonathan gazed at the person in front of him.

She was drunk as her eyes were not as clear as usual. Her cheeks were also flushed. She staggered/as if she would

fall to the ground at any moment.

He stepped forward and held her waist with one hand to prevent her from falling to the ground.

However, his action made her wince, as pain flashed across her face.

“Does it still hurt?” He immediately realized that he had held her on her left waist where she had been kicked

earlier.

The thought of that man kicking her made Jonathan think he was too kind to only break one of his legs.

Rosalie looked at the man in front of her with misty eyes. He was asking if it hurt. She was in pain. How could she

not be hurt?

It hurt when she was kicked.

However, the pain seemed to be no match for the pain she felt when she saw him.

“Jon… Jon…” Rosalie thought.

She kept telling herself to forget him these days. However, she kept dreaming about him at night. Whenever she

woke up, her eyes would be wet.

“So what… if it hurts?” She smiled stupidly as she suddenly wrapped her arms around Jonathan’s neck.

Jonathan stiffened suddenly, but he did not push Rosalie away. He only lowered his head and gazed at her.

Carlos, who had been following Jonathan all the time, was secretly shocked.

Carlos wondered what Jonathan was planning to do. Jonathan followed Rosalie out of Night Sky and now… he let her

put her

arms around his neck.

Since Jonathan had broken up with Rosalie, Carlos knew with Jonathan’s character, there was no way they would

get back together.

However, this scene… made him a little uncertain.

Rosalie smiled. Her drunken smile was so beautiful in the night that Jonathan could not even look away.

Then, her hand caressed his cheek as if it was playing. She touched his forehead, nose, cheeks, and lips before

finally landing on his eyelashes.

“Jon, tell me… why are your eyelashes… so beautiful? They’re so beautiful… that I’m jealous…” Rosalie said out of

the blue.
