Chapter 279
If he could, he hoped that she would never be sad or shed tears in her entire life.
Jonathan kissed away Rosalie’s tears gently, and she stayed frozen, not daring to move. She could only feel the heat where he
had kissed her.
When the movie ended, Rosalie felt a bit lightheaded. She had paid close attention to 80% of the film, but because of his tears-kissing distraction in the last 20%, she hadn’t really paid attention to that part.
She only remembered the final scene.
On the other hand, Aiden, after watching the entire film, still seemed eager, as if he wanted to continue fighting the bad guys.
Rosalie patted the boy’s head, feeling that bringing him to the premiere had been the right choice today.
“Aiden, do you want to meet the actor from the movie we just watched? He’s the one who was beating up the bad guys,” Rosalie signed and explained to the little boy.
“Okay,” Aiden clearly said, finally expressing his agreement by speaking.
Rosalie felt relieved again. It seemed that Aiden’s ability to communicate was growing, and soon he might be able to communicate like other children.
So, Rosalie, with Aiden in tow, followed Jonathan and the staff to the actors’ dressing room.
The dressing room was quite spacious, resembling a small hall. Several lead actors were present, and Dominic was among them.
The director had already informed Dominic about Jonathan and his girlfriend coming to take a photo with him and requesting an autograph.
When Dominic first heard the news, he found it rather surprising.
The renowned Jonathan, who was a prominent figure in Strico, had a girlfriend? And the girl was one of his fans? Dominic had mixed feelings about this.
Considering that someone like Jonathan was not someone he would have had a chance to meet closely before, it was quite an honor to meet him now because of a fan.
“Hello, Mr. Jonathan Youngblood. I’m Dominic Caesar,” Dominic said with a smile, and then, looking at Rosalie, added, “I heard from Mr. Mercer that you’re one of my fans. It’s truly an honor. Nice to meet you.”
“Hello, L… Quite a while back, um, when you had just started your career, I watched the TV shows you acted in. I never thought that one day I would be able to have a conversation with you like this,” said Rosalie, feeling a sudden bout of
nervousness.
After all, she had previously only seen him in the news and on television, and then on the big screen just now. Meeting him at such a close distance was naturally a surreal experience.
“Thank you, thank you!” Dominic smiled. “Shall we take a photo first?”
“Sure,” Rosalie agreed, casually handing her phone to Jonathan. “Jon, can you take some pictures for us? Uin, well, take a few more please.”
The people around them, especially some of the female actors, were taken aback.
They couldn’t believe that Jonathan was going to take photos for them, and he did it so casually. If it were another woman, she would probably have to work hard to please him. Weren’t they worried about making Jonathan angry by acting so casually?
However, to everyone’s surprise, Jonathan took the camera seriously and began taking photos!
Immediately, the actresses felt a pang of jealousy.
Some people observed Rosalie but didn’t find her appearance particularly outstanding; at most, she had a pure and innocent face and was considered pleasant to look at.
After all, in the entertainment industry, there was no shortage of women more beautiful than Rosalie.
In the entertainment industry, there was never a shortage of beautiful women!
Some self-confident women even struck a few poses, trying to catch Jonathan’s attention.
However, Jonathan’s gaze remained fixed on Rosalie.
Then, Dominic took a few more photos with Aiden.
After a while, Aiden said to Rosalie, “Potty… Potty…”
Rosalie understood that Aiden needed to use the restroom. Unfortunately, there were no private restrooms here, and each floor had restrooms at the end of the hallway.
Rosalie had initially planned to accompany the child, but Jonathan suggested, “It’s not convenient for you to go to the restroom. Let one of the staff members accompany Aiden instead.”
Jonathan instructed a male staff member to accompany Aiden to the restroom.
Rosalie used sign language and spoken words to convey her wishes to Aiden, asking him to be obedient and listen to the staff member.
Aiden nodded, indicating that he would behave.
Because both sides were using sign language, many people noticed something unusual about Aiden. Some even saw the cochlear implant in his ear.
Due to a bit of decoration added by Amelia, those who didn’t know might initially mistake the cochlear implant for a cartoon accessory.
At that moment, the female actresses who had no chance of attracting Jonathan’s attention gave Rosalie pitiful looks. Even if she had given birth to an illegitimate child for Mr. Youngblood, what difference did it make? With a disabled child, there was no hope for him to inherit the Youngblood family’s business empire.
However, after a short while, the staff member who had taken Aiden to the restroom came back in a hurry.
“Where’s Aiden?” Rosalie asked.
“Ms. Leighton, I’m so sorry. I really don’t know where the child went. I took him to the restroom/and on our way back, I received a phone call. I just took out my phone to answer the call for about ten seconds, and when I turned back, the child was gone. I have no idea where he went!”
The staff member looked helpless, aware that if he had indeed lost Aiden, who was said to be probably Jonathan’s illegitimate child, it might cost him his life.
“What?!” Rosalie was shocked, and the autographed item she was holding fell to the ground.
She rushed forward and grabbed the staff member. “Is Aiden missing? Right on the way back?”
“Yes, right in the hallway,” the staff member confirmed.
In the next moment, Rosalie dashed out of the room and into the corridor.
Jonathan closely followed her
“Aiden, Aiden!” Rosalie repeatedly called out as she scanned the hallway, but there was no response.
Aiden, being unable to speak fluently yet, might not be able to respond even if he heard her voice.
“Where could Aiden have gone? Is he taken by someone?”
