Chapter 208
However, it was different now. As his love for her gradually deepened, he realized there were certain things that he would do only if she was involved.
Staring blankly at the face so close to her, Rosalie heard him comment, “So, I’m the only one you can depend on for the rest of your life.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he kissed her. A kiss so tender yet subtly tinged with a domineering possession left her powerless to resist.
She thought to herself, “Can we truly depend on each other?”
Rosalie did not expect to start a relationship with Jonathan, but she did not feel uncomfortable either.
Sometimes it even made her feel as if she had returned to her life with him in his rental house.
It was as if he had returned to being the old “Jon.” She could unload her burdens and pains in front of him and relax in his presence.
“Great! Thank you!” Amelia, who was on a phone call, suddenly exclaimed, which made Rosalie look up.
The usually dignified landlady was so excited at the moment that tears could even be faintly seen in her eyes.
Rosalie approached her and asked, “What happened, Ms. Haab?”
Amelia grabbed Rosalie excitedly and shared, “It was a call from the hospital. Their hospital has an assistance program specifically designed to help deaf children facing difficulties at home. This time, they hope to help Aiden. I had always tried to make an appointment with a renowned expert in cochlear implants last time, but I never managed to get an appointment with that specialist. Now the hospital says that Aiden can see that expert. Also, they said that if Aiden meets the criteria, they can replace his cochlear implant with a more advanced one free of charge.”
Amelia felt like she was dreaming. She could not believe that all of this was actually happening to her.
It felt like winning the jackpot out of the blue.
However, Rosalie knew that it was probably Jonathan’s doing. Looking at the overjoyed Amelia, she knew that Aiden would receive better treatment afterward. In the future, Aiden’s disability could gradually be compensated for.
At night, Rosalie returned to the Youngblood residence and looked at Jonathan. “Thank you.”
“Why are you thanking me?” Jonathan reclined on the couch and supported his chin with one hand while gazing at her lazily. It was alluring and captivating.
“Thank you for helping Aiden, Rosalie added.
“As long as it’s what you want, I will help you achieve it.” Jonathan raised his hand and wrapped it around her shoulders. Rosalie, who was standing by the couch, was caught off guard and fell into his arms.
“You can like that child, but you can’t like him too much. I don’t like that someone else is more important than me in your heart,” he lamented. That possessiveness exclusive to her was exposed right at that very moment.
“He’s just like a child!” Rosalie remarked internally. She subconsciously propped herself against Jonathan’s chest, wanting to stand up.
However, Jonathan was currently wearing a thin silk robe. With that action, there was only a thin layer of silk between her palm and his chest. His body temperature immediately passed directly through the thin silk to her palms.
“By the way, you rest on Saturday afternoons right?” Jonathan looked at her flushed face and found it very interesting.
“Yes, why?” Rosalie responded.
“Block out your afternoon for me. I’ll take you to the hospital for a full physical examination,” Jonathan stated.
“Physical examination?” Rosalie was a little surprised.
“You haven’t had any physical examinations in the past few years, right? Then you can have one done this Saturday. You need to do it once a year,” Jonathan reminded.
Rosalie bit her lip and nodded while replying, “Okay.” Indeed, when she was at the law firm in the past, the company
would arrange physical examinations. But ever since she was imprisoned, she had gone almost four years so far without any physical examinations.
She pondered to herself, “Thinking about it, there’s also really nothing bad about doing a physical examination.”
When Rosalie was about to fall asleep at night, Jonathan suggested that he wanted to sleep with her.
Rosalie’s eyes instantly widened. “You… You also want to sleep here?”
“What’s the problem? Didn’t we sleep in the same bed when we were in the rental home?” he calmly retorted.

She screamed internally, “But it wasn’t the same back then! At that time, I treated him like a younger brother. Now, he isn’t a brother but my boyfriend!”
Rosalie blushed and stared at Jonathan. “I’m used to… sleeping alone.”
“Nonsense. Last time, you said you liked the feeling of being with me.” He directly exposed her lie.
Rosalie was rendered speechless and could only complain in her heart, “Why did I say such words last time?”
Rosalie had no choice but to word it directly, “We… We only just started to date, so… so…”
Jonathan chuckled and assured her, “Don’t worry. I won’t do anything.”
As he spoke, he leaned down and his face approached hers.
Rosalie blushed even more fiercely. She wanted to say something, but her voice seemed to be stuck in her throat.
His fingers gently stroked her cheek. “I just want to be by your side!”
His voice paused, his lips approached her ear, and he breathed, “Because being by your side is a wonderful thing for me.”
Rosalie felt her heart suddenly beat violently.
“Rosie, can I? I just want to be as close to you as before. Besides, we are already boyfriend and girlfriend now, no?” he muttered in a low voice that carried a sense of coquettishness.
