The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike

Chapter 252
Rosalie felt her face burning again when she recalled what happened last night.
She was awake now, but she didn’t open her eyes. She was afraid the situation would be too embarrassing if she did so and saw
Jonathan.
“Besides, what shall I say to him when I open my eyes so I won’t feel embarrassed?” she pondered.
Rosalie began to consider these questions.
But before she could decide, a voice addressed her. “Are you awake? If you’re awake, there’s no need to keep your eyes closed.
Maybe... Are you afraid of seeing me?”
Rosalie’s body quivered, and she snapped her eyes open immediately. An exquisitely handsome face came into her sight. It was
Jonathan!
Supporting himself with his hands propping at the edge of the bed, he leaned toward her, and his face came very close to her
face. She felt his gentle breath lightly caressing her face.
She could even count his eyelashes at such a short distance.
His long and dark eyelashes, which complemented his gorgeous eyes, were something that even women would be jealous of.
When she met his gaze, she inadvertently recalled the endless allure and mesmerizing charm his eyes had displayed last night.
They were fatally seductive and expressed a desire to devour her then.
“What are you thinking about?” he suddenly asked her.
Rosalie was flustered, and her face was red. “N-Nothing...” she blurted.
She put on her clothes quickly and was about to get out of bed, but he stopped her by saying, “Wait a second.”
Next, she saw him lowering himself before her. With a knee on the ground, he squatted there and carefully put on her socks
for her.
Last but not least, he put her slippers on for her and headed to the bathroom with her in her arms.

“Ah, what are you doing?” Rosalie asked blankly.
“Aren’t you going to wash up?” Jonathan asked.
She finally understood his actions, but her reply didn’t vocalize. “Mm... Okay. I see.”
After entering the bathroom, he carefully put her down and ensured she could stand firmly on her own two feet. He told her,
“Grab me if you can’t stand.”
“Oh,” she answered in a low voice. Lifting her gaze, she looked into the mirror.
The mirror reflected their figures. She saw him lowering his head and squeezing toothpaste onto her toothbrush in the
mirror.
Rosalie pondered, “I think what I’m experiencing right now is the feeling of being protected and cared for by another person.”
“All done.” He handed the toothbrush to her. “I can help you if you can’t brush your teeth.”
“No. I-I can do this myself.” She quickly lowered her head and began brushing her teeth but didn’t notice that he was staring at
her in the mirror.
Darkness surged in Jonathan’s eyes. His fixated gaze on her was full of infatuation. He murmured silently, “You... You finally fell
in love with me. You’re mine now. But this is not enough... It’s far from enough!”
His face went nearer and nearer and finally pressed against her hair. The scent of her hair filled his nostrils. “Please love me
more. Love me until you can’t leave me. Okay?” he whispered.
This was his greatest wish....
When Rosalie finished brushing her teeth and washed her face, her cheeks had gone red completely.
But when she was about to brush her hair with a wooden comb, he grabbed the comb in her hand abruptly. “Let me brush your
hair.”
She froze for a second. “But...”
“Don’t worry. I won’t ruin your hairstyle.” He beamed as he took the comb. He then began to brush her hair gently.

His movement was very gentle as if he was polishing his favorite treasure.
As he focused on her hair, she pondered involuntarily, “How many people in this world could receive such gentle treatment from
him?”
Somewhat dazed, Rosalie looked at herself and Jonathan through the mirror in front of her.
Her face was still scarlet at this moment. Nevertheless, her eyes and expression spoke of a shy but blissful happiness, while he
had a loving smile on his lips. He wore a tender and kind countenance, which could make any woman fall in love with him.
Running his slender fingers through her hair, he combed slowly and rhythmically until he gathered them in one hand and then
tied it up with a hair tie.
“Let me brush your hair from now on, okay?” he murmured softly.
While he was asking for her permission, his words seemed to promise his lifetime devotion to her.
In an instant, her heartbeat intensified so furiously that she felt her heart was about to jump out of her throat!
Some indescribable emotions began to fill her heart, growing and spreading without control...
“What is happening? Who the hell is plotting against our family? Are they shorting our stocks?” Sandra blathered on anxiously.
With a gloomy face, Howard spat out the answer, “It’s the Youngblood family.”
“What?” the surprised Sandra blurted. “It’s Jonathan? He... Why is he short-selling our stocks? There’s no feud between our
families!”
However, Howard didn’t think so. Although the Hamilton family had visited Jonathan specifically for Rosalie before, Jonathan
clearly had no intention of letting them off so lightly.
It didn’t take long for Sandra to remember this. She said in surprise, “It can’t be it... Is Jonathan exacting revenge on us for that
woman, Rosalie?”
She couldn’t believe what she had said as the words left her mouth. After all, Rosalie was just a lowly small fry in her eyes!
Panicked, she couldn’t help but think, “Will a powerful man like Jonathan invest so much to avenge a worthless woman? He’s
even willing to make the Hamilton family his enemies for her?”

Incredulous, Sandra babbled in difficulty, “She’s just a woman who’s been in prison!”
“Yes, he’s willing to escalate the issue to the extreme for a woman who’s been in prison,” Howard said grimly. Many thoughts
went through his mind as he reconsidered the situation. “What does this mean? It means Rosalie is far more important to
Jonathan than I’ve previously thought!”
He contemplated, “If I do nothing and allow Jonathan to short our stocks, he can obtain every property of the Hamilton family at a
low price when the time comes. But I’m running into serious problems. Jonathan’s action was too fast, accurate, and ruthless.
Neither can I deter him nor do anything else! If this goes on, the assets of the Hamilton family will suffer massive losses.”
Howard shook his head as he organized his thoughts.
“Then why don’t you talk to Yvette? She is now the daughter-in-law of the Xanthos family. We are a family by matrimony. Why
don’t you ask her to contact the Xanthos family and see if they would help us?” Sandra suggested..
