The Ceo’s Convict Wife

Chapter 54
She bit her lips slightly and said, “It’s better to rely on yourself than others. Only when you rely on yourself you won’t be
disappointed.” Otherwise, the greater the expectation was, the more disappointed one would be.
“But I really want to be your backer. What should I do?” He raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at her calmly.
“If it’s you...” She smiled. “Well, I’ll wait for you to be my backer in the future, Jon.”
“Why are you okay with it now?” he asked.
“Because I know Jon won’t let me down and...” She paused before continuing, “You’ll never leave me behind, right?”
Hearing this, he chuckled softly. “Yes, I won’t leave you behind.”
At night, Jonathan watched Rosalie fall asleep. Then he walked out of the rental home and went straight to a house not far away
from the rental home where Rosalie lived.
But this suite was spacious and well–lit, unlike Rosalie’s small rental home. It was much larger, and the design was much more
sophisticated.
At this moment, Carlos was waiting for Jonathan in the house. As soon as the former heard a knock on the door, he immediately
opened the door and greeted Jonathan.
Carlos really didn’t expect his superior, Jonathan, who normally wouldn’t be interested in anyone, let alone humbling himself to
care for someone, would do something like this. But now, to take care of Rosalie, he bought an entire house in the residential
area just to make it convenient for him to work while Rosalie was asleep.
Carlos reported on what happened in the company during the day. After all, Jonathan was busy taking care of Rosalie during this
period.
While he listened, Jonathan quickly gave instructions and then ordered Carlos to contact the senior management of the foreign
branch for an online meeting.
After a while, the senior executives of the foreign branch appeared on the projected screen, and the meeting started.
However, some senior executives seemed curious about Jonathan’s

location based on his background. After all, they could see that although this room was well–decorated, it was not much different
from an ordinary person’s. If Jonathan was in his usual place, the room he was in now could be described as poor.
Nevertheless, Jonathan simply said, “Don’t ask such unnecessary questions. Continue the meeting.”
Carlos knew why Jonathan would hold an international conference in such a place, but what could he say? Could he say that
because a woman rented a rental home in this residential area, Jonathan temporarily moved her office here?
It took Carlos a day to find this house in the residential area. After making an offer twice the market price, Carlos convinced the
owner to sell it and completed all kinds of paperwork as soon as possible. Jonathan’s phone suddenly rang after the meeting had
gone on for more than halfway. It was not his usual phone but one that Rosalie bought him.
Therefore, those senior executives from abroad saw the mysterious yet dignified Aplothian man suddenly pick up an old cheap
phone and answer the call. Moreover, he seemed to be speaking gently.
They thought he seemed to be speaking gently because Jonathan had already muted the online meeting, so those senior
executives couldn’t hear what Jonathan was saying.
Ultimately, those senior executives could only discuss in private why Jonathan would use a phone like that and who he was
calling.
Carlos even received a private message from a senior executive who wanted to get information about the gossip.
Carlos really wanted to tell these people that Jonathan’s phone was no longer a secret at Strico’s headquarters. The senior
management there had seen Jonathan answer calls from that phone more than once.
Howeyer, Carlos didn’t have the guts to explain why Jonathan used that phone and who called him.
At this moment, Jonathan ended the call and said to Carlos, “Wrap up the rest of today’s meeting for me. Also, hand over the
minutes tomorrow.”
“Mr. Youngblood, what about you?”
Jonathan said, “Rosie suddenly woke up and asked me where I was. I’m going back now. The general direction has been
determined anyway in

10.58
this meeting. The rest are just some minor details.”
After saying that, he walked out of the room. When the boss left, many foreign executives who waited instantly started to talk
about it.
At this moment, Carlos finally turned on the sound.
“Mr. Gibson, what’s going on?”
“Why did Mr. Youngblood leave?”
“Who called just now?”
“Oh, the expression on Mr. Youngblood’s face while on the call just now is definitely love,” one romantic foreign executive said.
Carlos could only smile awkwardly before saying, “All right. Let’s continue the meeting.” Meanwhile, he thought, “Love? Is Mr.
Youngblood in love?”
For a moment, Carlos was not sure.
“But if Mr. Youngblood really fell in love with Rosalie in the future, I’m afraid that this news will become a sensation in Strico!”
Carlos mused.
In the rental home, Rosalie looked at Jonathan, who walked into the room and asked in confusion, “It’s so late. Where have you
been just now? I didn’t see you when I woke up. I was scared.” She thought there was something wrong.
“Oh, I just couldn’t fall asleep, so I went out for a walk,” Jonathan explained and then scooped Rosalie, who had just gotten out
of bed in his arms. He then carefully put her back on the bed and said, “Well, you can go back to sleep. I won’t leave.”
“Next time, if you go out for a walk and I’m asleep, leave me a note,” she told him.
“Okay.” He chuckled in a low voice. “By the way, Rosie, I have something to do tomorrow night. I’m going out.”
“Is it work?” she asked.
“Sort of,” he answered. “But it’s not too important. It’s not a problem if I don’t go.”

“Oh, it’s okay. You can go to work. I can stay at home alone. In fact, my foot has not hurt much in the past two days, and I can
also move a bit.” Actually, she thought he was making a big deal out of a small matter. When he kept carrying her everywhere in
his arms, he made Rosalie feel like she was severely handicapped.

“Okay, I’ll be back soon. I’ll make it quick,” he said.
The next day, Jonathan prepared dinner for Rosalie and went out. Before going out, he told her not to wait for him specially.
Additionally, if she was sleepy, she should go to bed early.
After he left the rental home, he walked into the house he bought next to them in no time. At this moment, Carlos was already
waiting in the house.
The clothes Jonathan was going to wear tonight were all prepared by Carlos.
Jonathan wore a suit and combed his thick bangs to the back, revealing his forehead. The outline of his facial features suddenly
became more defined, especially those eyes that were outstandingly beautiful yet felt extremely cold.
