The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike

Chapter 53

Zendaya was interrupted before finishing her threatening words. “Since it’s Ms. Xanthos, that’s great.”

After saying that, the person turned around and said to another person behind him, “Then smash the right foot. In the video, it’s right foot.”

“What… What does this mean?”

Zendaya was shocked. “Didn’t those people come to blackmail?” she thought.

A moment later, a painful howl rang out in the private room.

When Rosalie woke up the next morning, her fever had finally subsided. Jonathan said, “Fortunately, it subsided. Otherwise, I’d have to take you to the hospital again today.”

“I… had a fever last night?” Rosalie murmured.

“Yes, fever. You talked a lot while you had it,” he said.

She was shocked. “I… What did I say?”

She didn’t say anything weird or wrong that night.

“You said you would behave better and be a good girl. You even asked me

to stay with you,” he said, with a rare playful look in his eyes.

Her face suddenly turned red.

“But don’t worry. Even if you are not a good girl, I will stay with you,” Jonathan added leisurely.

Rosalie’s face was still red. She looked at Jonathan in surprise.

“What’s wrong?” Jonathan asked.

“It feels like you’re a bit different from before… um, you’re making jokes now.” Rosalie thought for a while and said it.

Jonathan was slightly stunned as if he had also realized the change. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Have I changed because of her?” he thought.

He fixed his eyes on the woman in front of him. Then he suddenly leaned down with his lips almost touching hers.

“Ah!” She exclaimed and subconsciously wanted to step back, but she forgot that it was inconvenient for her to move at that moment.

One of his hands promptly wrapped around her waist, but he also pulled

her closer to his arms.

She looked at his face in a daze. His beautiful eyes and long eyelashes. were dyed with a faint shadow, and the dark pupils reflected her face.

“How many people have noticed that Jon is actually so handsome? If he could comb his heavy bangs back…”

“Do you think I’m better in the past or now?” She didn’t come back to her senses until his voice suddenly sounded in her ear.

At that moment, their faces were so close that the tips of their noses almost touched each other. If they got a bit closer, their lips would touch.

Such a distance seemed like they were about to kiss!

Rosalie widened her eyes, feeling like her mind was about to crash.

“Rosie?” His voice sounded in her ear again.

“Ah, of course now… is better, feels closer,” Rosalie quickly said. She continued, “Um… Jon, could you let go of me first? I won’t fall. And we are too close now.”

She could almost hear her heart beating wildly.

“Is it not good to get closer?” he asked.

She was at a loss for words. She thought, “How am I to answer that? It feels like he’s going to kiss me. Oh my! What am I even thinking? How did I even come up with that?”

“Too close. It will feel weird,” Rosalie said.

“Alright then.” He released his hand and took a step back. Then he tidied up the things on the table.

She let out a sigh of relief. She touched her cheek and found it quite hot. “By the way, Rosie, would you want to kiss me when we got so close like that?” She was stunned by his sudden question.

Her black eyes blinked. She felt the skin on her cheek, under her palm, was getting hotter.

“Is it difficult to answer this question?” He raised his eyebrows slightly and asked.

“I… Of course, I…”

“If it’s you, I’m willing,” he interrupted her and continued, “I don’t like other women kissing me. But if it’s you, I’m willing.”

The sunlight spilled through the narrow glass window into the room and

fell on him.

He looked so serious as if he was telling her that his words were not a joke.

For a moment, the second half of the sentence “I treat you like a younger brother” seemed to get stuck in her throat. She couldn’t say the words.

In the afternoon, Rosalie had nothing to do. When she was swiping her phone, she saw the news about Zendaya. She was sent to the hospital late last night. It was said that she offended someone and caused a comminuted fracture of one foot. After being cured, there might be some sequelae.

As a result, it seemed that Zendaya would be absent from the

engagement party between the Xanthos and Hamilton families a few days later.

The paparazzi who posted the news said that he hadn’t found out whom Zendaya had offended, but the Xanthos family’s attitude was now ambiguous, and they didn’t call the police. It seemed that they were not going to pursue the matter further.

Therefore, he suggested that the person Zendaya offended probably had a background surpassing that of the Xanthos family, leaving them to endure the situation without speaking up.

Seeing the news, Rosalie raised her head and looked at Jonathan. When she was injured, he said that Zendaya should pay the price.

Unexpectedly, Zendaya has really paid the price now.

“Is it a coincidence? Or…”

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Jonathan suddenly looked up at Rosalie and asked.

She shook her head and thought, “What am I thinking?”

“Zendaya was injured and hospitalized,” Rosalie told Jonathan about the

news.

“Isn’t that good?” Jonathan asked.

Rosalie said, “I just feel that your words always seem to come true like before. You said that Zachary and Yvette’s proposal ad would be removed. It was really gone. This time, you said Zendaya would pay the price. Something did happen to her now.”

After thinking for a moment, Rosalie continued, “It feels like whatever you say comes true.”

Perhaps, only Rosalie would describe him like that. Jonathan was nonplussed. “If what I say would come true, is there anything you want?” “Me?” Rosalie shook her head and said, “I have nothing to dream of.” She knew clearly that those things were out of reach for her.

“Don’t you want to find a backer?” Jonathan said, “From now on, no one can bully you. Everything you want can be easily owned.”

Jonathan chuckled lightly. “Right now, I’d be happy to just have enough to eat and live. I don’t really have the time to find a backer. Besides, I’m just an ordinary person. Who would be interested in me?”

“What if someone really likes you?” Jonathan asked.
