Chapter 392
“So, fortunately, she is not…” murmured Calvin.
Calvin felt a sudden pang of grief in his heart. He pursed his thin lips tightly. From now on, he would completely get Rosalie out of his mind! Completely!
Rosalie walked to Jonathan, only to find that Jonathan was strangely quiet. Jonathan’s beautiful eyes were as deep as usual, making it hard for Rosalie to guess Jonathan’s mood right now.
Rosalie thought, “He… Is he angry? Is it because I was with Calvin just now? Or is it because I had been staying on the mountain for so long that he worried about me?”
However, it was inconvenient for Rosalie to explain now because so many people were there. Rosalie planned to explain to Jonathan when they were alone.
“I’m sorry. You must be worried about me!” Rosalie said. “Initially, I wanted to call you and tell you the situation… But my phone was accidentally broken. I can’t contact you.”
And not only Rosalie’s phone but also Calvin’s phone was broken when he tried to save Rosalie.
Neither of them could make a phone call, so they couldn’t contact the outside world at that time.
“Really?” Jonathan lowered his head, raised his hand, and gently put Rosalie’s hair that fell over her cheek behind her ear. “It’s getting late. Let’s go back.”
Jonathan looked at the black dress on Rosalie’s body. It was stained with a lot of dirt and looked gray now. He suddenly bent down and picked Rosalie horizontally and walked down the mountain.
“Jon, I… I can walk by myself, and you don’t have to take me down the mountain like this,” Rosalie said in a hurry. After all, Jonathan would soon be tired if he carried her down the mountain like this..
Jonathan lowered his head. His eyes were not as gentle as usual. A light of dissatisfaction glimmered in them. “So, Calvin can carry you, but I can’t carry you down the mountain?”
Hearing Jonathan’s cold voice, Rosalie didn’t know how to answer.
Jonathan looked away from Rosalie’s face and walked down the mountain with Rosalie in his arms.
Although Jonathan held Rosalie in his arms gently and although it was a summer evening and the wind on the mountains was warm when it blew over Rosalie, Rosalie felt cold in her heart.
It felt as if Jonathan’s whole body was filled with coldness, while she was constantly eroded by the chill…
Rosalie bit her lip slightly. She felt that Jonathan was strange now.
Rosalie thought, “He must have misunderstood something. As long as I explain it to him, it would be fine.” Rosalie could only comfort herself in her mind.
At the foot of the mountain, Rosalie saw rows of policemen and many police cars. Moreover, roadblocks were set up on the road.
People who didn’t know about this situation would think that the police were arresting some important suspect!
Jonathan held Rosalie in his arms and directly got into the car that was waiting for him. Later, they left. Jonathan didn’t even say a word during this period.
The atmosphere in the car was depressing for a moment.
Carlos, who was sitting in the passenger seat, joked. “Ms. Leighton, you can’t lose contact again. Because of you, Mr. Youngblood asked someone to block all the roads to the mountain this time.”
“What?”
Rosalie was shocked. She thought, “Isn’t this too much?”
“Jon, I’m sorry to make you worry about me,” Rosalie said with guilt.
“Sorry?” Jonathan laughed angrily.
Jonathan thought, “Does she think that I only worried about her? Does she know how panicked I was when I saw Calvin carrying her on his back? My legs were almost unable to support me to stand there. Does she know how I felt when I saw her whisper to Calvin?”
Jonathan thought of the bright smile that showed on Rosalie’s face when she said thanks to Calvin after Calvin put her down. He then thought of what his father once told him. “Jon, if one day your joys and sorrows are all related to another person, then your life will be so hard… It will be so hard…”
Jonathan thought, “Is my life hard?”
It was hard. Jonathan felt a certain bitterness in his heart and even wished he could imprison Rosalie in a place no one could
go except him.
Jonathan wished that Rosalie would only smile at him and would never show the smile she had when she said thanks to Calvin to other men!
It was jealousy! Jonathan was jealous of Calvin.
When Jonathan saw Rosalie and Calvin appear in front of him like that, he had an illusion that Rosalie and Calvin seemed to be in a space that had its own time system. The space seemed to belong to Rosalie and Calvin only and no one else could get
Jonathan felt he was just one of those who couldn’t get in.
Calvin walked down the mountain and saw those police officers and roadblocks that had not been removed. He couldn’t help but smile slightly.
Calvin thought, “It seems that Jonathan really cares about Rosalie.”
It made sense for Calvin to think so. Calvin had known Jonathan for 20 years, and he had never seen Jonathan treat a woman like this before.
Melanie had never got Jonathan’s gentleness!
“Calvin!” Fiona rushed to Calvin, exclaiming, “Are you okay? You didn’t go back to the Lopez residence and I happened to hear that someone seemed to be missing here, so I came to have a look!”
In fact, what Fiona was really afraid of was that he and Rosalie would run into each other. After all, their grandmother’s grave was also here!
“I’m fine,” Calvin said lightly, looking at Fiona.
Although Fiona was wearing a black dress at the moment, she also wore delicate makeup and valuable jewelry. If it weren’t for that this was the last day of her grandmother’s mourning period, she would have dressed herself up in a more dazzling
way.
Calvin could tell from Fiona’s expression that Fiona indeed worried about him but apparently what she wanted more was to curry favor with him.
Actually, Calvin had seen so many women like Fiona. In the entertainment industry, a lot of women wanted to curry favor with him to get famous.
And those women were smarter and more skillful than Fiona! They could hide their intentions well and get what they wanted tactically.
Fiona looked around again. She didn’t see Rosalie, so she felt more relieved. She said shyly, “Calvin, my parents want to invite you to dinner at my house tonight. You helped me so much. My parents also want to express their appreciation to you.”
“No need.” Calvin refused. He then continued lightly, “It’s late tonight. I have to go back to Strico. Let’s talk about it next
time.”
“But…” Fiona didn’t want Calvin to leave like this! She and her parents also planned to hint at Calvin that she had been missing him all these years. They wanted to help Fiona to improve her relationship with Calvin!
