Chapter 432
“I… I really like you. I… I know I might not have much to offer in terms of wealth and luxury, but I can earnestly share each day with you. I’ll do my best to protect you. If you don’t give it a try, how will you know whether spending more time together won’t foster a deeper connection between us?”
His voice was stuttering and so anxious, yet so earnest.
Rosalie’s nose tingled a little. It turned out that there was someone in this world who liked her so much.
For no other reason, even when she was at her lowest, he always treated her with respect.
She didn’t push away from his embrace. His hug was warm, so warm.
But because of the warmth, she hoped that one day he would meet a woman who truly loved him!
“Lucas, thank you for liking me. But even as you’re holding me now, I don’t feel anything at all. Do you think it’s still necessary to give it a try?” she asked.
In her ears, she could feel his silent breathing.
Meanwhile, a black car was parked not far away, and the person inside was looking at the two people hugging in the car ahead. His hands kept tightening on his lap…
The night was dark.
In the quiet room, Rosalie had already fallen asleep on the bed, but the lamp on her bedside was still on.
Since moving out of the Youngblood residence, she had gotten into the habit of sleeping with the light on at night again.
The soft light fell on her face, making her sleeping face seem peaceful and beautiful.
Suddenly, the door of the rental home was gently pushed open. A figure walked into the room and closed the door casually.
The light fell on the man, reflecting the dark gloom on his face.
Jonathan took steps to the bedside and looked at Rosalie, who was in a deep sleep on the bed.
Throughout the day, the scenes he witnessed kept replaying in his mind.
When she was still in the Environment and Sanitation Administration, he had seen Lucas. Unexpectedly, she met that man -again:
And… she even let that man hug her.
She didn’t know that when the scene played out before his eyes, he kept asking in his heart why she didn’t push him away.
He thought, ‘Could it be that… she likes that man?
So, is that why she’s willing to let him hug her like that? And even… date him in the future? Will she let him kiss her? And…
and have children with him?”
marry
Thinking of all these possibilities, he felt an intense bitterness in his chest, accompanied by a sensation that left him breathless.
“Are you trying to forget me with this man?” he murmured in a cold, low voice.
But Rosalie, who was in a deep sleep, didn’t answer him.
Jonathan stood there, looking down at the sleeping Rosalie. After a long time, he bent down as if to look more closely, and his face gently approached her cheek.
“Don’t fall in love with another man, okay?” he whispered.
He was the one who didn’t want her, the one who wanted to break up with her, the one who no longer wanted to love her in that way. However, seeing her being so intimate with another man, he couldn’t accept it.
He was conflicted to the extreme.
Rosalie was still sleeping.
From her eyebrows, his gaze landed on her nose, her lips… His body, almost involuntarily, drew closer to her, wanting to
catch a whiff of her scent.
“Mmm…” In her slumber, her pink lips unconsciously opened slightly and murmured. It was like a spark that caused Jonathan’s body to tremble abruptly.
And then, as if enchanted, he kissed her tempting lips…
“Um… It feels like my lips are being pressed, it’s so hot…” Rosalie slept in a daze, only faintly aware of something on her lips.
She instinctively wanted to dodge, but it seemed that she couldn’t.
And her consciousness gradually became clear.
“No, wait, someone is kissing me!” she thought in shock and instinctively opened her eyes, but it was dark.
“It’s a hand!” While thinking, she felt a hand covering her eyes, preventing her from seeing anything.
But the kiss kept getting deeper.
“Who is it? Who is kissing me?” Rosalie pondered. At this moment, she was filled with fear, struggling with all her strength.
But her struggle was suppressed by an absolute force.
She couldn’t break free. Along with the kiss came a familiar scent that jolted her completely.
“This scent… is Jonathan?” she thought, shocked.
Once, they were the closest. How could she not be familiar with his aura? And this kiss… this familiar feeling.
It was him!
But why was he kissing her? And in this manner?
No, she didn’t want that!
Rosalie bit down suddenly, and her mouth was instantly filled with a bloody taste, accompanied by his pained muffled
groan.
However, immediately after, there was a more intense and domineering kiss, like a violent storm, kissing her until she could hardly catch her breath.
“Let… let go of me… let me go…” Her voice was broken, desperately trying to remove the hand that was covering her eyes.
At the moment when her eyes seemed to see the light in the room, a hand struck at her back neck. The next moment, Rosalie fainted.
Jonathan pinned his eyes on the person he had just made unconscious.
Just now, he almost lost control, nearly wanting to have her directly.
Her struggle would only aggravate his desire.
Under the light, a trickle of fresh blood snaked down from the corner of his lips, looking so shocking.
His fingers gently wipe away the blood. It was… the pain she gave him.
But now, even the pain made him want to cherish it.
He must be bewitched. As long as it was from her, he wanted it all!
No matter if it was hurt or pain….
“Rosie…” he murmured with a hoarse voice, with a strong smell of blood in his mouth.
And his lips kissed her again as she lay unconscious.
One after another, countless kisses rained down on her face and body.
He was obsessed to the point of… being uncontrollable!
It was as if his rationality and his body were at odds with each other.
The more he tried not to love, the more he found himself unable to control his desire!
He even wanted to tie her tightly to himself, so that she would never love another man for the rest of her life!
