Chapter 137
His eyes were full of tenderness as if telling Rosalie that he could tolerate her no matter what she did.
The corner of his mouth tugged into a smile, which was indescribably beautiful with his eyes shining.
Rosalie suddenly realized that she was doing something stupid. Jonathan would not find it troublesome even if she ordered. all the dishes on this menu.
She was surprised by her behavior as she wanted to vent her anger by ordering dishes like a fool.
Rosalie seemed to be discouraged. She returned the menu to the waiter listlessly and said. “That’s all.”
“Are these enough?” Jonathan said with a smile.
Rosalie bit her lip slightly and said after a while, “Yep.”
“I’m afraid that you’ve ordered too much food. These dishes are enough to serve seven or eight people,” the waiter reminded them politely.
Jonathan said indifferently. These are all we need.”
Seeing this, the waiter took the menu and left.
Jonathan looked at Rosalie and said. “If you don’t think these are enough, you can order more later.”
Her heart jolted when she heard Jonathan’s doting tone.
“Sorry. It’s my fault. Let’s change the order. We don’t need so many dishes” Rosalie hesitated momentarily but still planned to ask the waiter to change the order.
Jonathan suddenly grabbed Rosalie’s hand and said, “It doesn’t matter. You don’t have to change the order if you like those
dishes.”
“I don’t want to waste food.” Rosalie said.
Jonathan seemed a little surprised.
“Maybe the bill is not a problem for you, but I… I don’t want to order food more than I need,” said Rosalie after she bit her lip slightly.
In the past, she also ordered a lot of food that she liked when having a meal, but she only ate a little. Then she kept saying that she needed to keep fit and could not eat too much to stay slim.
But when life changed dramatically, she realized that sometimes it was not easy to have a good meal.
In prison, she would finish every meal because food was the foundation of keeping alive.
Sometimes, even though the food was maliciously thrown on the ground by others, she had to pick up the edible part and eat it as much as possible. If she was unlucky, her meals would be ruined deliberately. Then, she could only wait for the next meal while putting up with hunger.
Once she was even deprived of food for two days by others on purpose. She didn’t have a meal and could only drink water during the two days. At that time, she really experienced the fear of being hungry.
After she was released from prison, she would never waste food when eating and finish every meal.
People were always like this. Only when they suffered from hunger would they really cherish the food.
Jonathan fixed his gaze on Rosalie. After a while, he said, “Okay. Everything is up to you”
After saying that, Jonathan asked another waiter to change their order. Those dishes that were not cooked yet were not needed, and only three dishes and one soup were left.
When the dishes were served, Jonathan took the initiative to help Rosalie put the knife and fork in place.
Rosalie picked up her fork and looked at the food on the table. When she brought Jonathan here for dinner before, she had never thought of such a day like this.
At this moment, Rosalie’s stomach began to rumble. She realized that she was really a little hungry.
She looked down and began to eat.
However, Jonathan fixed his eyes on Rosalie
Perhaps it was because his eyes were so straightforward and intense that Rosalie couldn’t help but raise her head and look at Jonathan “Why not eat your food!*
“Tjust want to look at you for a while. I’ll get a better appetite later,” said Jonathan.
Rosalie suddenly felt speechless. She wondered how he could have a better appetite in such a strange way.
“Every time I see you eat, I will feel the food become particularly delicious, Jonathan murmured.
“That’s because you’ve never experienced hunger,” she said faintly. “If you didn’t have food for a few days, you would find any food delicious no matter how plain it was.”
Jonathan’s eyes became serious. “Do you have such an experience?”
“Yeah,” Rosalie said coolly. The thing about life and death now was mentioned casually by her as if it was common.
Jonathan pursed his thin lips and asked, “In prison?”
“Yes,” she replied.
Then, they didn’t talk anymore. Rosalie lowered her head and continued to eat, but Jonathan still fixed his eyes on her.
Today, Rosalie wore cheap clothes with her head down and a few strands of hair on her cheeks.
She was slim with her neck thin, looking much thinner as Jonathan thought of the photos of her collected by him before she was imprisoned. Rosalie was so weak that Jonathan doubted that she would be taken away by the wind.
At this moment, she bowed her head and tasted every mouthful of her food seriously.
But her seriousness made him feel stressed out and sad.
He didn’t know how many times he felt regretful. If he had met her and cared about her early, he would have never let her suffer so much pain in prison.
He would never have let her become a criminal and be put in jail.
Jonathan lowered his head and ate the food in front of him, but the meal seemed to become a little bit bland.
After dinner, Rosalie said, “I’ll go to the bathroom.”
“I’ll go with you,” said Jonathan.
Rosalie was speechless. “Are you sure you want to go to the bathroom with me?”
This reminded her of the fact that girls used to go to the bathroom with friends when they were in primary school and secondary school.
But now, she found it funny that Jonathan wanted to go with her.
Finally, when Rosalie was using the bathroom, Jonathan just stood outside and waited a few meters away.
Rosalie breathed a sigh of relief. She was really worried whether he would spend money on occupying all the restrooms in the mall and then go inside.
After using the bathroom, Rosalie washed her hands above the sink. Suddenly, a voice sounded beside her, “Hey, Rosalie!
You’re here too!”
Rosalie looked up and found that it was Elodia, a former colleague of hers in the law firm.
They began to work in the same firm at the same time. She got along well with Elodia. Elodia often cared about her a lot and built a sound relationship with her.
However, Elodia didn’t show such care anymore after Rosalie had an incident.
At this moment, Rosalie felt a little embarrassed to meet this old friend.
“I read the newspaper. Yvette and Zachary, your ex, visited sanitary workers in the Environment and Sanitation Administration, and they also sent gifts to them. I saw you dress like a sanitary worker in the photo. Are you working as a sanitary worker now?” Elodia seemed to be concerned.
