Chapter 36
At that time, he just finished working. He saw her squatting on the side of the road, and she was comforting a crying little girl. She was singing, dancing, and making many funny gestures to make the girl laugh. It was as if she didn’t care about the strange glances of the people around at all. Finally, she succeeded, and the little girl stopped crying.
Then, she bought bread for the little girl and stood there waiting to see if her family members would come to fetch her.
Eventually, the police came over with the little girl’s family. The little girl’s parents took out hundreds of dollars and wanted to thank her by stuffing them into her hands, but she shook her head with a smile and did not accept a single cent.
When the parents left with the little girl in their arms, she stood there looking at the backs of the three family members and smiling faintly.
At that moment, he only felt as if his heart had been hit by love. He seemed to understand that what he wanted was a calm and elegant woman like her.
He didn’t know if it was love at first sight, but he knew that it was the first time in his life that his heart had skipped a beat for a woman.
“Even if you don’t care, will your parents be alright with you marrying a woman who had been in prison?” Rosalie asked.
Lucas froze and the red flush on his face gradually dissipated. His face turned deathly pale.
“Marriage does not concern only two people, but also two families. You don’t know what my family is like,” Rosalie said. “Besides, I don’t like you. So, you don’t have to waste your time on me.”
After saying that, Rosalie walked to the sink and washed her hands.
Lucas stood aside blankly as if her words had given him a deathly blow.
Just as Rosalie was about to leave after washing her hands, Lucas suddenly said, “What if I can convince my parents?”
She paused and looked at him. “That’s impossible. If I really like you, then even if your parents object, I will be willing to stay with you until your parents agree. However, I only treat you as an ordinary colleague. I don’t have any feelings of love for you.”
She was very ruthless in her words.
Lucas’s face turned paler.
After work, when Rosalie walked to the door of the Environment and Sanitation Administration, she was surprised to see a familiar figure standing not far away. Obviously, he had been deliberately waiting for her.
“Jon!” she exclaimed and ran forward. “Why are you here?”
“I got off work early today, so I came to pick you up.” As he spoke, he naturally took her hand.
At that moment, Lucas also exited the Environment and Sanitation Administration. After seeing Rosalie and Jonathan, he nodded awkwardly before walking towards the parking lot.
“Did you turn him down?” Jonathan asked in a deliberately casual tone.
“I refused him.” Rosalie thought, “It’s just that those words may be a kind of injury to Lucas. However, it is the best way.”
“In fact, he doesn’t have to waste time on me. He can find a better woman,” she added. She thought, “I don’t think that I am a beautiful woman. Now, my career is poor and I have a criminal record. I can’t figure out why he insists on falling in love with me.”
“He doesn’t deserve you. You can find a better man,” Jonathan said.
Rosalie smiled and didn’t take his words seriously.
“So you’re leading Lucas on while having a relationship with another man!” Queenie’s voice suddenly resounded through the air.
Rosalie had a headache. There was never a shortage of people like Queenie in the world.
Jonathan turned around and looked coldly at the mediocre and mean–looking woman behind him.
After she saw Jonathan clearly, Queenie’s eyes flashed with amazement. He was even more handsome than the male lead in movies.
Although his bangs were rather thick, it made people feel that if he took care of his hairstyle and changed clothes, he could definitely win those. male idols.
Queenie was immediately jealous of Rosalie. She thought, “Why does a woman like Rosalie not only have Lucas’s love but also the company of a handsome man like him?”
She suddenly smiled viciously, “Are you Rosalie’s friend? You probably don’t know that she has gone to jail before. She was drunk and drove a car, killing someone. Drunk driving is equivalent to murder!”
However, what disappointed her was that there was no surprise, astonishment, or peculiarity on his face. He still looked calm.
If there was any change to his face, it would be that his gaze grew colder.
“It appears that you are the one who spread this,” Jonathan said as he looked at Queenie coldly.
Queenie suddenly felt a kind of fear in her heart as if she would end up miserably if she admitted it.
She bit her lips and said stiffly, “So what? I did it for the good of everyone. Everyone has the right to know whether the people around them have committed a crime or not. If she was afraid that others would know it, then she shouldn’t have committed the crime!”
Jonathan suddenly chuckled. “It’s good that you have admitted it.”
After saying that, he ignored Queenie and turned to Rosalie. “Rosie, let’s go. I don’t want to look at this woman.”
“Okay,” Rosalie replied.
Queenie stared at their backs. “Is this man Rosalie’s brother? However, they don’t look like each other. Besides, the man and Rosalie are about the same age!” she thought.
Somehow, Queenie had a chilly feeling when she thought of the smile on his face.
Rosalie took Jonathan’s hand, but she didn’t walk in the direction of their house. Instead, she walked to the other side.
“I got my pay today. Let’s go shopping and have a good meal. Speaking of which, we haven’t had a good meal outside since we met, Jon,” she said.
“Then, let’s have a good meal. However, I’ll treat you. After all, I also earn money. You are always supporting me, and I want to repay you,” Jonathan said.
Rosalie inexplicably felt proud of him.
“Jon, I’ll let you pay for the meal,” Rosalie smiled. The previous discontent that Queenie had caused seemed to have considerably subsided.
They arrived at a shopping mall in the center of the city. In the mall,
Rosalie picked a popular restaurant.
“The dishes in this restaurant are not bad, and the prices are affordable. I
used to come here with my colleagues-” She paused halfway through her words.
