The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike

Chapter 236
If one would just think about it, with the local tyrant of Strico backing someone’s case, was there anything that could not be
overturned?
Moreover, Rosalie was innocent from the beginning! No matter who the puppeteer behind the scenes was, they will surely be
exposed!
Lillian cast aside her previous gloominess, and her mood improved. “It’s almost noon. Let’s have lunch together,” she suggested.
Rosalie nodded, and the four of them exited the detention center and got into a car.
Lillian was busy flipping through the local food rankings in Sloummont and suggested a few places for Rosalie to choose from.
As for the two men, they had no objections. Callum drove the group to the restaurant for lunch.
It was a long-established local restaurant renowned for its specialties in Sloummont. After they arrived, they requested a private
room and began placing their orders.
Of course, Lillian was mainly responsible for ordering dishes. However, she just ordered those recommended dishes in the food
ranking list.
After ordering a variety of dishes with the phone, Lillian cast a quick glance at the nearly 20 dishes selected for their party of four.
She said sheepishly, “It seems like I might have ordered a bit too much.”
“It’s fine if you like them. We don’t come here often, so it’s a good opportunity to taste some of the local specialties,” Callum said.
Lillian instantly felt reassured.
While waiting for the dishes to be served, Lillian used her phone to show Rosalie various posters and still photos from “The
King’s Lover.”
“How is it? Doesn’t Dominic’s appearance give you that alluring and seductive feeling?” Lillian asked excitedly.
Callum’s face immediately darkened, feeling as if the woman was always engrossed in pursuing idols, and clearly forgot that he
was her boyfriend!

What was even more infuriating to him was how she often put on a facade of being deeply engrossed in him when they were
together, but the moment Callum looked away, she was back to obsessing over various idols and young heartthrobs.
Before Rosalie could see it, the phone was snatched away by Jonathan.
Jonathan lowered his head, looking at the stills and posters on the phone and carefully examining them, one by one. After a
moment, he raised his head, his gaze fixed on Rosalie. “You liked this type?”
Rosalie was embarrassed. “Uh... Well, I used to be quite a fan of this actor. He has good acting skills, and he’s been in some
good TV series.”
“Is that so? All right. I’ll have my secretary arrange a meeting with Dominic for you. You can meet him in person and maybe get
an autograph. How does that sound?” Jonathan suggested.
“What?” Rosalie was dumbfounded.
Lillian, on the other hand, had her eyes widened. Her face was filled with envy.
“Oh my gosh, is Jonathan trying to help Rosalie as a fangirl?” Lillian wondered silently. She was almost in awe. It was
remarkable for her. Furthermore, considering Jonathan’s abilities, she had a hunch that he could likely arrange meetings with
any celebrity, regardless of Rosalie’s preferences.
Callum looked at Lillian as his expression grew even more solemn. “Did she really need to display her admiration so blatantly on
her face?” he thought to himself.
It was just a celebrity. He wondered if merely meeting them and getting an autograph could generate this level of admiration!
Just at that moment, a waiter entered with the dishes, finally breaking the strange atmosphere in the private room.
“Okay, let’s eat first,” Jonathan said.
The four of them began to eat. While they were eating shrimp, Jonathan took the initiative to peel the shrimp for Rosalie. Rosalie
felt a bit embarrassed, especially with Lillian and Callum present.
Lillian was even winking and making teasing expressions, making Rosalie feel even more uneasy.
However, Jonathan carried himself with an air of indifference, seemingly impervious to the opinions of others.

After finishing their meal, Jonathan reminded Rosalie, “Don’t forget to take your medicine 20 minutes after the meal
“Okay,” Rosalie answered.
“Are you sick?” Lillian asked in surprise, showing immediate concern.
“No, it’s just some medication for joint pain,” Rosalie replied.
Lillian paused, well aware of her friend’s three-year ordeal in prison. After her release, Rosalie developed rheumatic pain that
caused her discomfort and pain, especially during cold and gloomy weather.
Lillian had advised her to seek medical treatment previously, but Rosalie had always found various excuses to avoid it.
She knew Rosalie believed medical treatment was costly and preferred to tough it out. She had even offered to cover the
medical expenses, but Rosalie had declined her offer.
Now, Rosalie was actively taking steps to improve her health, likely with Jonathan’s assistance.
Instantly, Lillian’s fondness for Jonathan increased.
Even if Jonathan had something to do with Rosalie’s suffering in the prison, he did not know her at that time.
Now, she could see that Jonathan genuinely cared for Rosalie. If he could truly become a romantic partner for Rosalie, it might
turn out to be a positive development.
For Rosalie, who had endured so much suffering, such a turn of events would indeed be a sweet reward.
When the time came for Rosalie to take her medicine, Jonathan poured her a glass of warm water. He carefully opened the
medication, placed the pills in her palm, and watched as she swallowed them.
Jonathan’s actions were so delicate and gentle that Lillian could not help but admire his care for Rosalie.
The measure of a man’s affection for a woman was not determined by how much money he could spend on her or how charming
he might be. It was about the things he was willing to do for her.
After taking the medicine, Lillian took Rosalie to the restroom and asked curiously, “Are you and Jonathan really together now?”

“Yes,” Rosalie nodded without hiding anything. In front of Lillian, she was open about her feelings. “Lillian, I thought I might never
fall in love again, but now, I genuinely want to try being with him, to see if... we can go all the way.”
Her feelings were delicate, and she was more cautious with each step she took, all because of past heartbreak.
“Why not?” Lillian patted Rosalie on the shoulder and continued, “If it were in the past, I might have thought that a relationship
between you and Jonathan was impossible. But today, I can see that he’s serious about you. Think about it. Everyone has their
opinions about Jonathan, but it seems that when it comes to women, he is quite principled. There was only that one fiancée,
Melanie, right?”
As she spoke, Lillian suddenly paused, looking a bit embarrassed as she glanced at Rosalie. After all, Melanie was not just
Jonathan’s late fiancée. She was also a victim of the car accident case.
