Chapter 747
“Does Jonathan lock you up?” Calvin asked.
Rosalie was stunned. She thought, “Locked me up? Why did he say that?”
When Calvin saw her puzzled expression, he explained, “Over the past few days, the security at the Youngblood residence has more than tripled. It’s been reported that all the security systems have been upgraded. In addition, Jonathan stopped me twice when I tried to meet you, so I couldn’t get to you at all. Even when I attempted to call you, the signal was automatically intercepted.”
When Rosalie heard that, she was shocked. It turned out that it wasn’t her illusion that there were more guards now.
Speaking of which, the number of people Jonathan assigned to follow her has also increased. Once, when she went for a walk nearby, the entire area was cleared, and she found herself surrounded by a group of bodyguards.
She didn’t bother to go for walks after that. She only moved around the Youngblood residence those days.
However, in the manor, there seemed to be more surveillance cameras.
“Is Jon afraid that I would run away? So he’s using such an intensive approach to ‘lock me up’?” Rosalie guessed in her heart, while Calvin said worriedly, “How is the relationship between you and him now? Did he treat you…”
Calvin feared that after she learned the truth, her relationship with Jonathan would become strained, and there would be conflict between them. However, Jonathan had completely blocked any information about her, making it impossible for him even to contact her. So he could only use the opportunity to ask her.
“Jon didn’t do anything to me,” Rosalie said. “Maybe… it’s because I’m about to give birth, so he’s arranged for more security. You don’t have to worry about me.”
“Really?” Calvin fixed his gaze on Rosalie.
“Yes,” she replied, though there was a hint of doubt in the depths of her heart. She pondered, ‘Has Jonathan increased the security significantly just because I’m about to give birth?
Or is there… some other reason?
At that time, I mentioned that I wanted to be apart for a while. Was Jonathan. afraid I would leave, so he used this method to keep an eye on me?’
Calvin slightly narrowed his eyes. Whether what she said was true or not, at least for now, she seemed to be fine. “If Jonathan really locked you up, and if you want to leave in the future, then I…”
But before he could finish his words, the consulting room door was suddenly pushed open. Jonathan walked in and said, “She’s not leaving, and you can’t take

her away!”
Both Rosalie’s and Calvin’s bodies stiffened.
Calvin narrowed his eyes and asked, “You knew I was lurking around here?”
“Yes, I knew it,” Jonathan said casually. “I just want to know what your purpose is.” When Jonathan found out that Calvin intended to discuss with Rosalie about leaving, he couldn’t stay out any longer.
He was afraid that Rosalie’s answer would be something he didn’t want to hear, so he decided to interrupt.
Calvin looked at Jonathan and said, “Anyway, I hope Rosalie has the freedom to choose. If she wants to stay by your side, I won’t stand in the way. But if you want to lock her up and deny her any freedom, then I’ll be sure to set her free.”
Jonathan suddenly sneered, “Who needs you to grant freedom to my wife?”
As he spoke, he walked over to Rosalie and lowered his head to look at her. “You said you wouldn’t leave me if I didn’t leave you, right? So no matter what happens in this life, you won’t leave me, will you?”
Rosalie gasped. The words she had spoken then still echoed vividly in her ears. Her hand subconsciously touched her belly, which was already like that of a normal pregnant woman. She took a deep breath and said, “Yes, I said that before.” With that, Rosalie turned to Calvin and said, “Calvin, you heard me. I… I won’t leave Jon.”
Jonathan was standing beside Rosalie when he heard the word “Jon”. His eyes suddenly brightened, and an uncontrollable excitement flashed across his face. Calvin wondered, “Rosalie called him ‘Jon’ again. Does that mean… she was actually ready to forgive him? Is she willing to let go of the past?”
Calvin’s expression changed slightly, but there wasn’t much surprise. Perhaps he had already expected the outcome.
But he… just wanted to make sure one last time, to know if she was still willing to be with Jonathan after learning the truth.
“All right, I understand. If… that’s your wish.” With that, Calvin left the consulting room with his men.
Jonathan also asked the others to leave the consulting room.
Suddenly, only Rosalie and Jonathan were left in the spacious consulting room. Jonathan’s eyes shone as he looked at Rosalie, filled with hope and expectation. “Rosie, you really won’t leave me, right?”
“I…” She hesitated, realizing that at that moment, she couldn’t even be sure whether she would leave or not.
Those days, she had been constantly finding various excuses in her heart, telling herself that he didn’t know her at the beginning, and naturally, there was no way

to talk about so-called sympathy and pity for her…
But even so, she still didn’t know how to face him. Every time she saw him, scenes from prison flashed through her mind. She remembered how Yvette pulled out her fingernails and how her uterus ruptured after being beaten up in prison.
Her body would even throb in pain as if the pain from that time still lingered within her.
Her silence caused the gleam in Jonathan’s eyes to fade suddenly. He laughed self-deprecatingly. “So you said those words to Calvin on purpose, right? You’re afraid he’ll continue to have feelings for you, afraid of holding him back, so you said those things to him that way?”
Rosalie bit her lip slightly. Indeed, what she said just now did carry that meaning. Jonathan’s face gradually darkened. “Do you regret it? Do you regret marrying me back then? If Calvin saved Lillian with 400 thousand dollars back then, would you have…”
Jonathan was at a loss for words, captivated by her deep, dark eyes and exquisite features, which emanated a bittersweet charm that tugged at Rosalie’s heart.
“I…” Rosalie was about to speak, but Jonathan suddenly shouted, “No need to say anything!”
Before she could react, he hastily opened the consulting room door and rushed
out.
Rosalie was left alone in the consulting room.
