Chapter 498
“Fiona, from now on, I think we shouldn’t act too intimately to avoid unnecessary speculation,” Calvin said.
In the past, when he didn’t understand his feelings, he didn’t mind allowing Fiona to deliberately mislead others into thinking of her as his girlfriend.
Even if he knew what she was trying to do, he wouldn’t say anything. After all, she was his savior. He wouldn’t mind if she really wanted to use him to improve her status.
However, the situation was different now.
Since he found out that the person he loved was Rosalie, he didn’t want her to misunderstand him.
The moment Fiona heard that, her face suddenly turned pale. She lowered her head and said, “I see. I’ll pay attention to that in the future.”
Her voice sounded a little pitiful, but her eyes were full of anger and resentment. Her hands, hanging beside her body, slowly gripped the hemline of her dress tightly.
“It’s all because of Rosalie! Because of her, Calvin already wants to keep his distance from me, not to mention in the future. Also, Rosalie might come clean about the incident from back then if she really does start dating Calvin. At that time, Calvin will naturally believe her more! Then everything I have now will be completely lost!” Fiona exclaimed mentally.
Thinking of that, Fiona couldn’t accept it.
Everyone in the town thought that she would marry into a prominent family in the future. If she went back without accomplishing anything, she would become a laughingstock for everyone in the town.
“No, I can’t let that happen! I will never allow myself to become a laughingstock! I need to figure out how to keep Rosalie from taking everything I have now!” she remarked inwardly.
In Bentley, the atmosphere was depressing and silent.
Jonathan just lowered his head and played with Rosalie’s hand.
Her slender hands had long and thin fingers with slightly deformed bone joints. He could see some old scars on her fingers and the backs of her hands if he looked closely. Her palms were covered in calluses as well.
Such hands were not beautiful. If anything, her hands were uglier than those of the majority of women. She had clearly done a lot of rough work with those hands.
However, at that moment, Jonathan meticulously caressed every part of her hands as if he had been bewitched.
It seemed that they were the most beautiful hands in the world for him.
Rosalie moved her wrist uneasily and wanted to withdraw her hand, but Jonathan grabbed her hand tighter.
A deep voice sounded in the car. “Why? Don’t you like me touching your hand like this?”
Rosalie pursed her lips slightly. “Given our current relationship, I don’t think this is appropriate.”
Touching her hand like that would only aggravate the situation even more.
She wanted to keep her distance from him and calm her heart. If he wanted to play the make-believe family game, they should behave like ordinary siblings.
“Inappropriate?” Jonathan suddenly chuckled. “I remember when it was cold, you took the initiative to warm my hands. At that time, why didn’t you think it was inappropriate?”
When Rosalie heard that, her heart suddenly filled with distress. She thought she had a family because of how wonderful her life was at the time.
However, the better things were back then, the crueler they would be now.
Jonathan leaned in closer and brought his attractive face, which could easily make any woman fall for him, close to her. “Or is it because of Calvin? Because he said he loved you, you cannot bear touch now?”
His warm breath danced over her face, but his beautiful eyes were cold.
“It has nothing to do with Calvin,” Rosalie said.
my
“Really?” Jonathan’s eyes flickered slightly. “Does this mean you don’t love Calvin too?”
“Does it matter if I love him or not? Besides, we’re not a couple now. We’re just brother and sister. Even if I really fall in love with him, so what?” Rosalie couldn’t help but blurt it out.
In an instant, Jonathan’s expression darkened, and the atmosphere in the car turned tense.
Rosalie only felt that she couldn’t breathe, while Jonathan slowly rubbed his face against her cheek.
His voice brushed against her ear like soft feathers. “Are you really going to fall in love with Calvin?”
Her body tensed up, and she got goosebumps. She then felt a shiver down her spine.
Suddenly, she had an uncanny feeling that he was angry. No, it was more serious than that. He was extremely mad.
Even though his voice and movements were gentle, he was mad.
If she really said that she fell in love with Calvin at that moment, she would not be able to bear the consequences at all.
“Hmm? Why aren’t you answering? Are you really going to fall in love with Calvin?” Jonathan repeated his question as if he needed an answer from her that particular second.
“I…” Rosalie struggled to pipe up, “I’m not going to fall in love with Calvin.” In fact, she had never been in love with Calvin. Even after she regained her memory, she only remembered Calvin as a childhood friend.
Her words instantly relieved the tension in the air.
After a while, Jonathan’s voice slowly sounded again in the car. “Luckily, you didn’t say that you wanted to fall in love with Calvin. Otherwise…” Jonathan slowly raised his head. His crystal-clear eyes seemed to be covered behind a veil, preventing people from seeing through him. “I’m not sure what I’ll do to you…”
It was like, once Rosalie said that she would fall in love with Calvin, it would be the end of the world for Jonathan.
So, fortunately, Rosalie didn’t say that.
Rosalie only felt a chill run up her spine. Jonathan’s words seemed to be comforting, but they were more like a warning.
Rosalie even considered asking Jonathan what he expected from her. Jonathan didn’t love Rosalie, but he also wouldn’t allow her to fall in love with anyone else. Was she, in his opinion, just an emotionless doll that could be manipulated into whatever role he desired?
Rosalie could either be Jonathan’s lover or his older sister?!
“Your hands are so cold. How about I warm them up for you?” Jonathan murmured, then lowered his head and began to warm Rosalie’s hands exactly as she had taught him before.
At that moment, Jonathan carefully warmed Rosalie’s hands. His actions were so gentle and careful as if she were the treasure he cared about.
Meanwhile, Rosalie’s hands were getting warmer, but her body seemed to be getting colder..
