Chapter 481
Fiona frequently accompanied Calvin to events, behaving in a way that resembled that of a girlfriend. It came as no
surprise that despite Calvin never officially announcing their relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend, many online
users assumed Fiona was already his girlfriend.
After all, during that period, Calvin was often seen picking up Fiona, providing resources for her participation in film
and television projects, and attending various events with her. All of those actions gave the impression of a
romantic involvement.
Rosalie was well-informed about all that, courtesy of the widespread use of the internet.
Any scandals involving Calvin consistently became trending topics online, making it sometimes impossible for
Rosalie to feign ignorance.
There were also numerous criticisms of Fiona online, commenting on her average appearance, ordinary family
background, limited education, and previous divorce. She was arguably the least qualified compared to all of
Calvin’s previous girlfriends.
Some individuals even went to the extent of saying that Calvin must have been blinded to choose such a woman to
be by his side.
Regarding the Gunner family’s stance on Fiona, it had never been publicly disclosed.
However, at a later point, Fiona’s manager issued a public statement online, announcing their intent to sue those
who defamed Fiona and hold them legally responsible.
The manager was widely known to be a top-tier manager chosen by Calvin for Fiona.
Otherwise, someone like Fiona wouldn’t have caught the eye of such a manager.
As a result, many people speculated that the manager’s public statement was likely at Calvin’s request.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAt that moment, as if sensing something, Calvin’s gaze shifted beyond the people around him and fixed upon
Rosalie’s
direction.
The moment their eyes met, a hand suddenly covered Rosalie’s eyes, shrouding her in darkness.
“Don’t look. I don’t like the way you’re looking at other men so intently,” a cold voice softly whispered in Rosalie’s
ear, sending a shiver down her spine.
“Stop causing a scene. Take your hand off” Rosalie retorted.
“I’m not causing a scene,” Jonathan murmured. His eyes, typically gentle, were now glaring coldly at Calvin, who
stood not far away.
Calvin, upon seeing Jonathan with Rosalie, furrowed his brow involuntarily.
“What’s going on? Weren’t they supposed to have broken up? Why is Rosalie with Jonathan?” he pondered.
The gazes of the two men locked from a distance. One displayed bewilderment, while the other emanated a cold
sense of jealousy.
Jonathan was well aware of his jealousy, especially when it came to Rosalie’s recent focus on Calvin.
Perhaps it was more accurate to say that he envied the connection between Rosalie and Calvin. Calvin had known
her for many years, much longer than Jonathan had, and he had been searching for her.
Despite all kinds of tricks he had done, she still remembered Calvin and the memories they had shared.
What puzzled him, though, was that she didn’t seem to have disclosed that to Calvin. Otherwise, the woman
standing beside Calvin on that day wouldn’t have been Fiona.
“Jon!” Rosalie called out. “I didn’t mean to look at Calvin. With you covering my eyes like this, I can’t see anything.”
Though his hand seemed to rest gently over her eyes, she couldn’t manage to remove it, no matter how hard she
tried. “Don’t let yourself fall for Calvin.” His voice sounded in her ear again.
She was left momentarily speechless. She had no intention of falling for Calvin. “I didn’t.”
“That’s good,” he said softly, his eyes still fixed on Calvin as he walked toward them. Slowly, he withdrew his hand.
The light once again entered Rosalie’s line of sight. However, as her eyes adjusted to the light, she noticed that
Calvin and Fiona had already approached them.
“Rosalie, why are you here? And… you’re with Mr. Youngblood?” Fiona’s confusion was evident. “Wasn’t she
separated from Jonathan? Why are they together again? What exactly is going on?” The more she thought about it,
the more bewildered she
became.
In recent days, she had been worried that Rosalie might suddenly approach Calvin and disclose everything. So, in
Calvin’s
presence, she had spared no effort to tarnish Rosalie’s image and reinforce the impression that she was the little
girl who had saved him in their childhood.
However, Rosalie hadn’t shown up to confront Calvin, and just as Fiona had started to relax a bit, she unexpectedly
ran into her there.
“What’s the matter? Can’t she be here? Can’t she be with me?” It was not Rosalie but Jonathan who spoke.
“Of course not,” Fiona replied with a forced smile.
“Why are you with her?” Calvin’s question was directed squarely at Jonathan without any attempt to hide his
emotions.
“I’ve already told you. She… You can’t lay a hand on her,” Jonathan replied, somewhat sidestepping the question.
“You can’t give me orders,” Calvin retorted coldly…
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThen, Calvin’s gaze returned to Rosalie’s face. “I recall you saying you wouldn’t love Jonathan anymore. Why don’t
you explain what’s happening now?”
Rosalie’s expression froze. Calvin’s words, spoken in front of Jonathan, demonstrated a complete disregard for
anyone’s dignity.
Meanwhile, Jonathan’s countenance darkened abruptly, and the atmosphere grew tense.
“Mr. Gunner, this is my own business. I don’t believe there’s a need to report it to you.” Rosalie stood up.
As she did, the gown she was wearing was fully revealed to Calvin.
The light purple gown, adorned with white and purple crystals, exuded an air of elegance and nobility. Its allure was
even more captivating when she stood up than when she was seated.
Calvin was momentarily stunned. That dress… He had once seen it on a designer’s official website and had wanted
to purchase it. However, he was informed that the only available one had already been reserved by someone else.
Due to the confidentiality principle, the buyer’s identity had not been disclosed.
It appeared Jonathan had acquired it.
Over the years, Calvin’s closet had become filled with numerous purple dresses. Every year, from childhood to
adulthood, he would acquire them, trying to guess the girl’s age, height, and weight.
Often, he ended up buying the same style in various sizes.
However, since he had found Fiona, he hadn’t given her any of those dresses.
He couldn’t quite explain why. Was it reluctance? But what was he reluctant about?
As Calvin looked at Rosalie at that moment, a voice within him suddenly whispered, “I just wished that Rosalie could
wear those dresses.”
The dresses that had carried Calvin’s yearning for so many years
Calvin found it rather absurd that Fiona was right beside him, but he harbored a desire for Rosalie to wear those
dresses.
