The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike
Chapter 35

Chapter 35 

“Rosie, have you fallen in love with that man because of what he said?” Jonathan asked in a low voice. There was a touch of jealousy in his eyes that he did not notice. 

The tip of Rosalie’s nose was full of Jonathan’s breath. She felt a little overwhelmed when he approached her like this. An intuitive sense of crisis appeared in her body. It was like if she did not answer him very well, a beast would severely pounce on her, and her neck would get bitten the next moment. 

Rosalie thought, “Goodness gracious. What am I thinking?” 

Rosalie was ridiculing her thought. The person in front of her now was Jon, not a dangerous man. 

“I don’t like Lucas.” Rosalie was sorry for Lucas‘ feelings toward her. Her words made Jonathan suddenly feel better. He stared at her and asked, “Rosie, did you really fall in love with that person?” 

“Why should I lie to you?” Rosalie said. She had never thought about falling in love with someone since she was released from prison. Love was too heavy. She tied all her feelings to another person. Rosalie did not want to bear the devastating blow when she was abandoned again. 

There was a smile in Jonathan’s eyes. “Remember to refuse him. Otherwise, a man like him may always be waiting for you, Rosie.” 

“I’ll refuse him,” said Rosalie. Since she did not intend to fall in love with Lucas, she should not drag him. 

Furthermore, Lucas was a good person. He should have a relationship that really belonged to him rather than waste his time on her. 

“By the way, how could he know that you were in prison?” Jonathan asked abruptly. 

Rosalie’s face darkened. “A colleague found out the news of my car 

accident, so now the whole Environment and Sanitation Administration knows that I was in prison before. Okay, let go of me. I have to clean up the room.” 

She changed the topic. 

Jonathan let go of Rosalie. As she walked away from him, it was as if a trace of warmth had suddenly left. 

He unconsciously folded his hand and looked up at her back. 

The game Jonathan used to think of was becoming increasingly interesting to him, and he cared about Rosalie more and more. It seemed like it would be good if she had accompanied him all his life. 

In the next few days, the people still gossiped about Rosalie in the Environment and Sanitation Administration. Many of them would deliberately keep a distance from her. 

Rosalie was mentally prepared for this situation. After all, she could not change the fact that she had been in prison. 

Rosalie was grateful to Yulissa for taking care of her as usual while working. 

“Rosalie, you are a university graduate. Why are you in such a job? Are you really going to sweep the road all your life?” During their free time, Yulissa and Rosalie chatted. 

“I have a record. It’s not that easy to find a job,” Rosalie confessed. 

Many employers would ask what was going on, especially after knowing that she had a record. If they knew that she was the perpetrator of Jonathan’s fiancée, Melanie’s accident, all of them refused her without exception. 

To Rosalie, it was even hard for her to find such a self–sufficient job. 

“But you can’t waste your young age working this job. How could you find a good man in the future?” People like Yulissa were concerned about women’s marriage. “Lucas doesn’t seem to care about your past. Did you really refuse him? There are not many honest men like Lucas now.” 

“No, it’s impossible for him and me,” Rosalie said. 

Yulissa hesitated momentarily and said, “Rosalie, do you think Lucas is just a driver? After all, your ex–boyfriend-” 

“Yulissa!” Rosalie interrupted Yulissa. “I don’t think so. I just… I’ve been through so many things and have no intention of falling in love.” 

“Alas!” Yulissa sighed. “You should know that if you really don’t marry someone and are alone, even though you don’t feel anything now, you will grow old and have no children. Not everyone can bear that kind of loneliness.” 

Rosalie thought, “Children…” She smiled bitterly. Having children was her wishful thinking. 

After a day’s work, Rosalie and Yulissa packed up the tools and returned

to the Environment and Sanitation Administration. 

While returning the tools, Rosalie did not see Queenie, who was always seeking trouble. When she was about to wash her hands, she saw 

Queenie standing with Lucas beside the sink. 

“Rosalie has been in prison. Why do you have to wait for her? Am I worse than a woman who has been in prison?” Queenie said angrily. 

Lucas said unhappily, “Don’t keep mentioning she was in prison. Rosalie drove carelessly, but didn’t deliberately try to hurt others!” 

“She was drunk driving! Why didn’t she do it on purpose?” Queenie said, “She’s just a temptress who is trying so much to seduce you!” 

“I’d love that, too!” Lucas said angrily. 

Rosalie heard that the conversation was related to her, and she subconsciously wanted to avoid it. Nevertheless, just when she was about to leave, Queenie had already seen her and immediately shouted, “Rosalie, you are so shameless! How dare you eavesdrop?” 

Rosalie sighed and stopped, while Lucas was at a loss when he saw Rosalie. 

“This is a place where everyone in the Environment and Sanitation Administration can come. I came here just to wash my hands. How did it become eavesdropping? If you are afraid of being heard, you should find a room and close the door before chatting,” Rosalie said. 

“You…” Queenie glared at Rosalie angrily and said before leaving, “Wait and see!” 

Rosalie was calm. She had heard this sentence many times when she was in prison. 

Lucas looked at Rosalie awkwardly and said, “Don’t take her words seriously.” 

“I won’t take it seriously,” Rosalie replied. Since she happened to meet Lucas today, she also wanted to make it clear to him. “But I hope you don’t waste your time on me. In fact, as Queenie said, I have been in prison before, and I’m not suitable for you.” 

“I don’t mind,” Lucas said in a hurry. 

As he met Rosalie’s puzzled eyes, he said, “I… I know you are a good woman, so I really don’t care if you have ever been to prison.” With that, Lucas could not help but flush. The scene when he noticed Rosalie for the first time appeared in his mind.
