The Ceo’s Convict Wife

Chapter 30

Rosalie gently used the comb to comb Jonathan’s bangs and then trimmed them bit by bit against his forehead with the scissors. She looked very focused, and all her attention was concentrated on his bangs. She did not even notice the pair of beautiful deep eyes beneath the bangs staring at her.

Jonathan stared at the woman before him. Rosalie’s face was slightly red due to the cold weather. With her pair of beautiful eyes, tiny nose, pink lips, and exquisite facial features, people would find it harder to take their eyes off her. Under the light, it was as if her body was emitting a warm aura.

“It’s done. After a long time, Rosalie’s voice suddenly sounded in Jonathan’s ears.

“Done?” Jonathan repeated. He felt that the time spent with her had passed very quickly.

“Yeah. Rosalie smiled and took two steps back, carefully examining the man for a while. “My skills are not bad. Your haircut looks quite good. I’ve saved you 2 dollars from going to the barbershop.” NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

She smiled and then took a dry towel, helping Jonathan dust off some tiny strands of hair that had clung to his face, neck, and clothes.

“It’s done. You can take a shower,” said Rosalie.

Jonathan responded by walking into the small bathroom with his clothes. When the warm water flowed over his body, he lowered his head and looked at a scar on his chest.

As time passed, the scar had become shallow. Yet, he would think of that woman every time he glanced at it.

He would think of the woman who had abandoned him and his father.

Perhaps, the scar was the only thing left by her.

At that time, he had knelt and begged her not to leave and abandon him and his father, but the woman pushed him away fiercely instead and left without looking back.

When Jonathan was pushed by his mother, an iron spike stabbed into his chest. After the incident, the doctor said that the spike tip was very close to Jonathan’s heart then. If it had been any closer, Jonathan might not have survived.

At that time, Jonathan told himself that the woman was no longer his mother.

After his father died, he even held no expectations for anyone. Without expectations, there would be no disappointments.

However, it was somewhat different with Rosalie.

Jonathan turned off the faucet, dried his body with a towel, and put on some clothes. When he walked out of the bathroom, his gaze fell on Rosalie, who was sitting at the table and seemingly looking at something.

Jonathan thought, “Since when had I started to have expectations for her?” He looked forward to seeing Rosalie’s smile, expecting to see her happy. He also expected her to look at him with gentle eyes and call him “Jon.”

“Jon, are you done? Let me dry your hair.” Rosalie got up and went to get the hairdryer.

Jonathan walked to the table and saw the documents Rosalie spread on it. It was the copies of her case file from that year.

His eyes flashed with a gleam of light. “Rosie, what were you reading just now?” he asked knowingly.

“Some contents related to my case back then,” she answered. “Lillian helped me to collect some.”

“Why are you reading these again?” Jonathan asked once more,

Yeah. Why indeed?” Rosalie also asked herself the question silently. It had been three years, but the case still could not be turned around. Now, she also had no idea of the whereabouts of the witnesses back then. She could not do much with i

current status as a sanitary worker.

“Maybe there are some things that I still don’t understand about this case,” Rosalie murmured.

Even though she had not been drinking, she did not understand why the testing result showed alcohol in her blood, and it even reached the limit of drunk driving.

She also did not understand why Melanie’s car crashed toward her.

In addition, she could not figure out why the testimony of those witnesses all pointed toward her.

Rosalie failed to defend herself as the testimonies and evidence of those people at that time proved that she was the perpetrator.

After all, it would not have been long before Melanie married Jonathan. She was in the happiest moment of her life; thus, she had no reason to crash her car and end her own life intentionally.

“So, Rosie, do you want to reverse the verdict?” Jonathan asked.

Rosalie laughed at herself. I’m just slightly unwilling to accept the result and wanted to reverse the verdict, but it’s not easy to do so, especially now that I have been released from prison. Anyway, let’s not talk about that anymore. I’ll help you dry your hair.”

With that, she put away the documents and then blew Jonathan’s wet hair dry with a hairdryer.

Jonathan’s eyes gradually darkened.

The next day, Carlos noticed that Jonathan’s hair was different. It seemed to have been trimmed, but he did not remember Jonathan having made an appointment with a hairstylist.

“What’s wrong?” Perhaps Carlos had stared at him for a long time that Jonathan asked him.

“Mr. Youngblood, it seems that you haven’t had a haircut for some time. Would you like me to make an appointment with the hairstylist?” Carlos asked.

“No need. Rosie helped me to trim my hair last night,” replied Jonathan.

Carlos thought, “Rosie… Oh, Rosalie! However, what surprised Carlos more was that Jonathan asked Rosalie to trim his hair. After all, Jonathan’s hair was usually styled and taken care of by top-tier hairstylists.

Carlos thought Rosalie was just a sanitary worker. Even if Rosalie had a different occupation back then, she was a lawyer, not a barber.

“She did a good job, right?” Jonathan flicked his bangs, looking like he was quite satisfied.

The corners of Carlos’ mouth twitched. Jonathan had always been very picky about his hairstyle. If those top hairstylists, whom Jonathan had criticized, knew that a sanitary worker had done a better job than them, he was unsure how they would

react to that.

Lillian made time to meet Rosalie at noon. They found a pasta restaurant near the Environment and Sanitation. Administration building to have some pasta together.

“Yyette made things difficult for you that day, asking you to rummage through the garbage for a long time. Why didn’t you tell me about it?” Lillian complained. Even as Rosalie’s good friend, she only learned about the incident after reading the

news.

“It’s not a big deal,” Rosalie replied with a faint smile.

Looking at her best friend behaving in such a way, Lillian somehow felt sad.

Back then, Rosalie seemed to be blessed by luck. She had been an outstanding top student in school with good grades. After entering society, she joined the best law firm in Strico and even had a romantic relationship with the young heir of Xanthos

Group.

Almost everyone would envy her, but they never thought that one day, she would rummage through the garbage for a long time because of others’ provocations.

“What’s wrong? Why’re you looking at me like that?” Rosalie looked at Lillian’s gaze on her and could not help but sigh. She then said, “I’m really fine. It’s just rummaging through some garbage. Besides, I also know that Yvette was giving me a hard time, so I was just merely putting on an act

“Yvette went too far. It’s already horrible that the Hamilton family found someone to deal with you in prison, but after you were released, they still made things difficult for you.” Lillian said angrily.

Rosalie stayed silent. Back then, she had suffered a lot in prison. Part of it came from those who wanted to please Jonathan, while another part came from people paid off by the Hamilton family.
