Chapter 15
Tll be with you. The floor is by the bed. You can see me when you turn your head,” she said.
“This bed can fit two people. Can you lie on the bed and stay with me?” he murmured. Even he was unaware that his current gaze was tinged with desire.
Rosalie bit her lip slightly. After hesitating for a moment, she nodded and said, “Okay” Then she carried the bedding from the floor and lay down beside him.
Even she was surprised that she would agree to share a bed with a man. Perhaps it was because he looked like a fragile glass doll that would shatter with a light touch that moment just now, and that made her want to protect him.
Lying on the bed, she turned off the light while his left hand held her right hand throughout.
“Jon, if you still feel uncomfortable, wake me up,” she said.
“Okay,” he replied. To his surprise, he was feeling better, much better than any of the previous episodes he had. He wondered, “Is it because of the medicine? Or… Is it because of her?” Her warmth kept coming from his palm.
“Will you always be with me, Rosie?” he said softly.
“Of course, Jon. We can always be together. Even if you take a wife and have a family in the future, I will still be there for you.” She thought. “I will always be with him as his sister. Although we are not related by blood, I think of him as my family.”
Jonathan’s eyes slowly closed. Her voice put him at ease, and his pain seemed to be fading.
“Take a wife…” he thought. Since Melanie died, he had never thought about marrying another woman, yet Rosalie was thinking about it.
“Rosie, will you keep your word?”
“Mhm,” Rosalie answered.
He finally let himself fall asleep.
Rosalie carefully tucked Jonathan in and then fell asleep.
Early in the morning, when she woke up, he was still asleep. She raised her hand and touched his cheeks and forehead. He did not sweat much, and his sleeping face was rather peaceful. It seemed that he was no longer in pain.
Just as her hand was about to move away, his eyes suddenly opened. His beautiful eyes seemed bright and clear. “Rosie…”
“Sorry for waking you up,” she said, “It’s still early. Go back to sleep. As she spoke, she quickly got dressed. There is oatmeal in the electric cooker. You can eat it when you get up later. You had a stomachache last night, so have some light meals today. Oatmeal will soothe your stomach. Also, don’t forget to take the gastric medicine. Take it three times a day. Remember to bring it with you when you go out.”
After she finished reminding him, she hurried out the door.
Jonathan was once again alone in the narrow rental home.
He glanced at the instant pot on the small round table, and then buried his face in the spot on the bed where she had slept.
Her scent remained on the bed, and her warmth lingered on the blanket she used to cover herself last night.
He seemed to be getting greedy….
Carlos watched Jonathan take out a cheap phone with an outdated design. In his opinion, it did not seem to fit Jonathan’s style at all. Moreover, Jonathan instructed him, “Co and apply for a SIM card. I need it.”
Chapter 15
Carlos was briefly stunned, then quickly acquired a SIM card and handed it over obediently.
After that, he saw Jonathan put the SIM card into the phone and sent a message. Not long after, the phone’s text message
alert went off. After seeing the text message, Jonathan, who had always been cold, smiled faintly.
Carlos blinked in disbelief and thought, ‘Hm. I was not mistaken. Mr. Youngblood is actually… smiling.
Is it because of the text message earlier?”
Carlos caught a glimpse of the sender of that text message just now. The name was Rosie.
He thought, ‘Well, Rosalie seemed to be the only person Mr. Youngblood addressed as “Rosie.”
Did Mr. Youngblood actually smile because of Rosalie’s text message?’ Carlos was dumbfounded.
“Is this to say that this woman has a place in Mr. Youngblood’s heart?” Carlos wondered.
In the afternoon, at an executive meeting of Youngblood Group, Jonathan’s phone suddenly rang when everyone was listening intently to a report.
Hence, in front of everyone, Jonathan was seen taking out a cheap, outdated phone, accepting the call, and putting the phone next to his ear as if to hear what was being said on the other end.
“Okay, I understand. I’ll eat it. I won’t forget,’ said Jonathan.
The senior executives were surprised again. They all wondered who he was speaking with since his tone was much gentler than usual while he talked on the phone.
When the phone call ended, Jonathan suddenly got up and said, “I have something to do. I need to leave for a while. Carry on with the meeting After saying that, he exited the conference room, leaving the group of senior executives to exchange helpless glances before turning to look at Carlos, who was still in the conference room.
“Mr. Gibson, what’s going on? The call that the CEO answered just now…”
Carlos smiled awkwardly. When Jonathan answered the call just now, Carlos vaguely heard the words “take the medicine” from the other end of the phone call because he was sitting closest to Jonathan.
Carlos thought back to the box of gastric medicine on Jonathan’s desk today and was too embarrassed to say that Jonathan had likely gone to take the gastric medicine after answering the call.
He thought it was incredible that Rosalie could make Jonathan take the medicine with a phone call. In the Jonathan had stomach pains, he would not take medication unless the pain became unbearable.
past. when
“It is the CEO’s private matter. Let’s get on with the meeting” Carlos smiled sheepishly and continued to preside over the meeting.
Meanwhile, Rosalic put away her phone and continued to sweep the trash along the roadside with Yulissa.
Yulissa stepped forward and said, “Who did you call?”
“My brother, said Rosalie.
“You have a brother?” Yulissa said in surprise, “Why didn’t you mention him before?”
Rosalie smiled and said nothing.
After Rosalie and Yulissa finished sweeping the floor, they went to the equipment department to return the tools. That was when they heard the people in the equipment department talking about the marriage of convenience between the Xanthos family and the Hamilton family. Since the scions of the two families were about to be engaged, this had become Strico’s hottest gossip lately.
