The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike novel Chapter 156

Chapter 156 

Her body trembled, and she raised her head stiffly, looking at the person before her. Her teary black eyes began to gain focus slowly. 

“Jon, please help me find Lillian” She seemed to come back to her senses at that moment and said anxiously, “The police can only file a case now. They said they would send someone to look for her, but they were unsure when they would find her. If only I had memorized the license plate completely! How could I fail to memorize it?” 

There was a hint of self-reproach in her tone that could not be hidden. 

Jonathan stared at Rosalie. In the past, she only had such a worried expression when something happened to her grandmother. 

He thought, “At the very least, her grandmother was her kin. But what about Lillian? Lillian’s just a person unrelated by blood to her, yet she could be so anxious about Lillian.” 

A hint of jealousy suddenly arose as he envied the amount of anxiety Lillian received from Rosalie, He couldn’t help thinking, “What about me? Would she be so anxious about me if something happened to me?” 

“Go back first. It’s cold here,” he said and continued, “Look how cold your hands are.” 

“Cold?” she mused. She couldn’t feel anything at all. All she could think about was how to find Lillian. 

“Well… Will you help me find Lillian?” she asked, trying to get a definite answer. She thought, “I can only wait if I seek help from the police, but… If he were willing to help, we could find Lillian faster.” 

After all, he had a lot of connections and resources in Strico. 

“Let’s talk about it after we get back. Even if you need me to help you find someone, I have to go back and learn about the details from you. Then I will contact someone to help you in the search, don’t you think so?” he said. 

“But if it’s too late, then… Lillian could be in danger.” Under the moonlight, she stared straight at him with her black eyes that seemed to be stained by ink. Her anxious, uneasy look and bloodless cheeks made him heartbroken as if countless needles were stinging him. 

“I beg you. Let’s find Lillian now, all right? If something happens to her, I. She bit her lips tightly. 

“No, Lillian would be fine! Nothing will happen to her!” she repeatedly told herself deep down. 

“Are you in such a hurry to find her? Since you haven’t received any information about her and her parents haven’t lodged a police report, maybe nothing happened to her at all,” he said. 

“She must be in trouble! Otherwise, she would call me no matter what.” Up till now, Lillian hadn’t called her. 

“Do you care that much about her?” he asked in a deep voice. 

“Yes,” she replied without the slightest hesitation. But her reply made him even more uncomfortable as if the dense needles continued to sting him after stinging him once. 

Even her pale face grated on his nerves. 

“What if I don’t want to help you find her? What are you going to do?” he asked. 

Her eyes suddenly widened, and her lips were shaking. Even her thin body was constantly shaking. She held the phone so tightly in her hand that her fingers were about to dig into it. 

He couldn’t bear to see her like this. 

There was a heavy load in his heart. It could not be swallowed or taken out, suffocating him. 

He thought, “Since when I couldn’t bear to see a woman worried and afraid? She seems to be the only one who will make me like this,” 

Jonathan heaved a sigh as if it were a sign of helpless compromise. He took out his phone and made a call. “Help me find someone. I want to know where she is now and whether she is safe… Her name is Lillian. She was taken away by a car this afternoon and the car was…” 

As Jonathan talked, he handed the phone to Rosalie and motioned for her to say the details herself. 

Rosalie shuddered and quickly said, “It’s a black Maybach. The license plate is…” 

She hurriedly reported the license plate she remembered, the address of the parking lot, and the details about when and how it happened. 

After Rosalie finished speaking, Jonathan said to the other end of his phone, “That’s it. I want to know where this person is as soon as possible!” 

After hanging up the call, Jonathan looked at Rosalie. “Okay, can we 

passenger 

Only then did she walk to his car with him. He opened the 

and bent down after she sat on the chair. 

She was startled, and her body stiffened subconsciously. She could only see his upper body leaning toward her. His handsome face got closer to her, and they were so close that she could feel his breath. 

She looked at him at a loss. At such a close distance, she could see his long eyelashes and dark pupils clearly, as well as the straight are of his nose and the strands of hair in front of his forehead.
