The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike

Chapter 808
Meanwhile, not far away in a shadowed corner, several bodyguards exchanged perplexed glances and contemplated, “Is that
really Mr. Youngblood? It appears he has changed a bit since the return of Mrs. Youngblood and Ms. Youngblood.”
When the family of four entered the amusement park, Rosalie whispered to Jonathan, “You just... Well, you don’t have to do
that.”
“But we are a family, right?” Jonathan remarked.
Rosalie was momentarily taken aback. Then, she saw his deep eyes looking at her gently as if a multitude of thoughts were
swirling in his
eyes.
Somehow, she could not shake the feeling that his current gaze held a subtle difference from before. It was as though she were
the center of his entire world.
“Yes, we are a family,” Rosalie murmured.
Guillermo acted as the guide in the amusement park. After all, he had been here once, but for Guillermo, coming to the
amusement park this time felt completely different from the last time.
Plenty of people and children were around, and they had to wait in line for certain rides and games. Yet, Guillermo felt that it was
somehow more enjoyable than before. He had not found rocket ships and carousels entertaining previously, but it appeared to
be more fun when he enjoyed them with his sister.
Just as they were queuing up, a clear slap suddenly sounded. Then, there was a female voice full of disgust. “How could you
scratch Paddy? Don’t you know your place?”
Rosalie looked toward the commotion and saw a well-dressed woman carrying a designer bag worth a few thousand dollars on
her back. At that instant, the woman was scowling at a young boy in front of her, but from Rosalie’s viewpoint, she could only see
the back of the child.
The boy was clad in worn-out attire and appeared to be approximately the same height as Guillermo and Jennifer. However, he
was noticeably thinner.

It should be this woman who slapped the boy in the face just now, but strangely, the child did not cry or utter a sound. He had not
even raised

his hand to tend to his reddened cheek.
On the contrary, another fat boy standing beside the woman cried and shouted, “It hurts, Mommy! It hurts. He hit me just now.
Mommy, can you shoo him away?”
“Who dares to shoo him away? Zeki is also a part of our family. Nobody has the right to send him away!” At that moment,
another girl took a protective stance in front of the little boy, resembling a mother hen guarding her chicks. “If you dare to chase
Zeki away, I’ll leave with Zeki, bringing my mother’s inheritance with me.”
When she said this, the woman was immediately angry. “You damn girl! What’s your mother’s inheritance? Do you think your
mother left you something? Your father earned all of them.”
The little girl yelled loudly, “The lawyer told me those were left to me by my mother! They are mine!”
“You...” The woman’s eyes were full of hatred. She raised her hand and was about to slap the little girl as well.
The previously silent young boy unleashed a fierce, beastly roar at the woman in that instant. If it had not been for the little girl
holding him back, he might have lunged at the woman.
The children’s father, who had been standing by the side, also hurriedly said to the woman, “All right, all right. Why are you
taking a child’s words so seriously? We just want to enjoy our day today. Don’t get upset.” “Mind your daughter. What did she
mean by her ‘mother’s inheritance’? We agreed that everything in the family would be passed on to Paddy in the future. He is
your own flesh and blood. As for your daughter, she will be married off,” the woman said angrily.
“All right. If you keep going on like this, others will mock us!” The man tried to console the woman.
The girl turned around and tenderly placed her hand against the boy’s cheek, which had been slapped. She asked with concern,
“Does it hurt?” Rosalie could not see the expression on the little boy’s face, but she saw him shaking his head. He must have
responded to the young girl, letting her know that he was not in pain.
Rosalie could not help but feel sorry for the pair of siblings.

From the preceding conversation, it appeared that the woman was likely a stepmother. Her biological child was the plump boy
she called Paddy.

The little boy and girl seemed more like her stepchildren, brought into her family by her husband.
Despite the circumstances, it appeared that the little boy had a strong bond with the girl. Whenever he was subjected to
punishment by his stepmother, the girl would defend him fervently. Conversely, when the stepmother sought to hit the girl, the
little boy would exhibit a sudden surge of aggression.
It was just that the two children were too young. Rosalie was concerned that they might live in unfavorable conditions in a family
like that.
The discrepancy in the clothing quality between the boy called Paddy and the other two children was another indication of this.
Paddy was well-dressed, while the siblings were wearing worn-out clothes. They did not appear to belong to the same family at
all.
The little boy looked only four or five years old. As for that little girl, she was only seven or eight years old. Children of this age
needed guardians in every aspect.
Rosalie could not help but draw a parallel to her own life. Back then, after her mother Tracy passed away, her father married her
stepmother, and her life had not been particularly pleasant either. Fortunately, she had her grandmother Wilma to shield her, and
her stepmother would put on an amiable pretense, so her situation was not too difficult at that time.
While not all stepmothers in the world were unkind, many were caring and loving. However, the one standing in front of her was
evidently not a compassionate stepmother.
“Mommy, what did she mean by married off? Will I be married off in the future, too?” Jennifer asked with a perplexed expression.
Rosalie affectionately tousled her daughter’s hair. Before she could respond, Jonathan jumped in, saying, “No, you will never be
married off. You’ll always be our precious baby!”
Meanwhile, Guillermo also said seriously, “I will never let you be married off.” His tone conveyed a protective, older brother vibe.

Jennifer’s smile returned, but it quickly faded. “That girl looks so pitiful. Will she really be married off one day? And what about
the boy? Will he be kicked out of the house?”
Rosalie said, “No, they won’t. Don’t you see that girl has been protecting her brother? The boy won’t be kicked out of the house.”

“Well, it’s just like how Guille is protecting me!” Jennifer said. Worry finally disappeared from her face, and she started to look
around happily again.
Rosalie could not help but inwardly sigh. Every family had its own issues, but at least the siblings had each other to rely on.
