Chapter 850
The scene that flashed in her mind earlier must have been when he activated the device.
In the recording, Leonard had clearly stated that once the device was activated, it would explode on his end when the time
expired. However, at that time, he was comforting her and telling her not to be afraid.
“I’ll deal with Zachary in the future, okay? Don’t meet him again, and don’t go see anyone from the Xanthos family anymore,”
Jonathan said while gently kissing Rosalie.
However, she was still immersed in her memory, only snapping out of it when she felt a twinge of pain in her neck.
She met his deep and beautiful gaze. “What were you thinking about just now?” he asked as he stared at her. It was clear that
she seemed distracted. He thought, “We were talking about Zachary. So, she must have been thinking about him, right? Was
she thinking about what he had said to her today, or was she reminiscing about her past with him?”
“Nothing.” Rosalie hurriedly said, “I just felt that you were right. If you were by my side, you would risk everything to protect me.”
“Then, will you stop meeting Zachary and the Xanthos family?” he repeated what he had said.
To that, she smiled gently. “I have no intention of meeting them again.” “Even if he comes to ask for your help again, you won’t
assist him with anything, will you?” he asked.
“Since I’ve repaid him for saving me, we’re now even. I see no reason to help him anymore.” Moreover, Zachary was someone
who had once hurt her.
“That’s good,” he murmured and kissed her again.
She couldn’t help but let out a soft moan. “Jon...”
“You’re beautiful,” he said.
Thump!
Her face flushed immediately. “You...”
“Rosie, love me,” he murmured her name in a low voice and kissed her
continuously.

She pressed her hand against his chest and kissed him.
The next day was the weekend. Rosalie and Jonathan took their children to a musical instrument exhibition in Strico. The
exhibition showcased top-tier instruments from around the world, including some renowned brands. Jennifer had been learning
to play the piano and expressed a desire to attend, so they had planned this schedule a week ahead. Although the weather had
turned cooler, most people were wearing low-collar clothes. However, Rosalie had opted for a high-neck top, wrapping herself up
securely.
“Don’t you feel hot, Mommy?” Jennifer blinked her eyes, which resembled Rosalie’s, and asked.
“No,” Rosalie replied awkwardly.
She thought of the passionate kisses they had shared yesterday afternoon, and her face turned crimson. Without the high-neck
top, she might have ended up in the news.
Thankfully, Jennifer didn’t press the issue any further and turned to whisper to Guillermo.
Rosalie noticed that her two children had been whispering to each other like this for the past week as if they had a little secret.
However, she didn’t mind. After all, the two having little secrets meant they were close. Since they didn’t grow up together,
Rosalie was worried they might feel distant.
In particular, Guillermo had a somewhat aloof personality and wasn’t the kind of child who got along well with others.
Seeing them getting along well made Rosalie happy.
“Are you really not hot?” Jonathan’s voice sounded in Rosalie’s ear.
She turned her head, and her lips were about to brush against his cheek.
“No... I’m not hot!” Rosalie was a little embarrassed. At that moment, their proximity was too close, and she could see his
eyelashes, the reflection of her face in his eyes, and even the merging of their breaths. Their breaths seemed to blend.
“Really?” he asked with a hint of a smile.
She couldn’t help but clear her throat and said, “Next time, um... please be careful. People might see us.” She meant something
else.
He slightly raised his hand and touched her neck through her collar, “Are

you feeling embarrassed? We are married. So what if someone saw us? It only shows that we have a good relationship, right?”
Moreover, he deliberately left such kiss marks as if he was branding his ownership of her, ensuring that no one else would dare
to have inappropriate intentions toward her.
Rosalie felt momentarily speechless, unable to refute his words.
“But if you genuinely feel uncomfortable about it, I’ll be more cautious next time,” Jonathan said.
Rosalie was rendered speechless again. The tone in which he said this made her wonder if he would do it again next time.
People around them had turned their attention to them. After all, an attractive man holding a poised woman intimately, their
noses almost touching, made them look like a captivating, picture-perfect couple. Their attention was only diverted when a clear
and youthful voice broke the moment. “Daddy, Mommy, it seems someone is playing the piano over there. Can we go take a
look?”
Rosalie returned to her senses and hurriedly responded to Jennifer’s request. “Sure.” Then with a blushing face, she led the two
children to where Jennifer wanted to go.
Jonathan followed along with a gentle smile.
When they arrived at the sound of the piano, they found a young child playing. The boy appeared to be around five or six years
old and was very handsome. He was dressed in a simple white shirt and trousers, giving off a fresh and clean appearance.
At this moment, the little boy skillfully played the piano, producing beautiful melodies that flowed continuously from his fingertips.
However, his expression remained unchanged. Even though he was playing a cheerful tune, he was not smiling. It was as if he
was a machine playing the piano.
