The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike novel Chapter 236

Chapter 236 

If one would just think about it, with the local tyrant of Strico backing someone’s case, was there anything that could not be overturned? 

Moreover, Rosalie was innocent from the beginning! No matter who the puppeteer behind the scenes was, they will surely be exposed! 

Lillian cast aside her previous gloominess, and her mood improved. “It’s almost noon. Let’s have lunch together,” she suggested. 

Rosalie nodded, and the four of them exited the detention center and got into a car. 

Lillian was busy flipping through the local food rankings in Sloummont and suggested a few places for Rosalie to choose from. As for the two men, they had no objections. Callum drove the group to the restaurant for lunch. 

It was a long-established local restaurant renowned for its specialties in Sloummont. After they arrived, they requested a private room and began placing their orders. 

Of course, Lillian was mainly responsible for ordering dishes. However, she just ordered those recommended dishes in the food ranking list. 

After ordering a variety of dishes with the phone, Lillian cast a quick glance at the nearly 20 dishes selected for their party of four. She said sheepishly, “It seems like I might have ordered a bit too much.” 

“It’s fine if you like them. We don’t come here often, so it’s a good opportunity to taste some of the local specialties,” Callum said. 

Lillian instantly felt reassured. 

While waiting for the dishes to be served, Lillian used her phone to show Rosalie various posters and still photos from “The King’s Lover.” 

“How is it? Doesn’t Dominic’s appearance give you that alluring and seductive feeling?” Lillian asked excitedly. 

Callum’s face immediately darkened, feeling as if the woman was always engrossed in pursuing idols, and clearly forgot that he was her boyfriend! 

What was even more infuriating to him was how she often put on a facade of being deeply engrossed in him when they were together, but the moment Callum looked away, she was back to obsessing over various idols and young heartthrobs. 

Before Rosalie could see it, the phone was snatched away by Jonathan. 

Jonathan lowered his head, looking at the stills and posters on the phone and carefully examining them, one by one. After a moment, he raised his head, his gaze fixed on Rosalie. “You liked this type?” 

Rosalie was embarrassed. “Uh… Well, I used to be quite a fan of this actor. He has good acting skills, and he’s been in some good TV series.” 

“Is that so? All right. I’ll have my secretary arrange a meeting with Dominic for you. You can meet him in person and maybe get an autograph. How does that sound?” Jonathan suggested. 

“What?” Rosalie was dumbfounded. 

Lillian, on the other hand, had her eyes widened. Her face was filled with envy. 

“Oh my gosh, is Jonathan trying to help Rosalie as a fangirl?” Lillian wondered silently. She was almost in awe. It was remarkable for her. Furthermore, considering Jonathan’s abilities, she had a hunch that he could likely arrange meetings with any celebrity, regardless of Rosalie’s preferences. 

Callum looked at Lillian as his expression grew even more solemn. “Did she really need to display her admiration so blatantly on her face?” he thought to himself. 

It was just a celebrity. He wondered if merely meeting them and getting an autograph could generate this level of admiration! 

Just at that moment, a waiter entered with the dishes, finally breaking the strange atmosphere in the private room. 

“Okay, let’s eat first,” Jonathan said. 

The four of them began to eat. While they were eating shrimp, Jonathan took the initiative to peel the shrimp for Rosalie. Rosalie felt a bit embarrassed, especially with Lillian and Callum present. 

Lillian was even winking and making teasing expressions, making Rosalie feel even more uneasy. 

However, Jonathan carried himself with an air of indifference, seemingly impervious to the opinions of others. 

After finishing their meal, Jonathan reminded Rosalie, “Don’t forget to take your medicine 20 minutes after the meal 

“Okay,” Rosalie answered. 

“Are you sick?” Lillian asked in surprise, showing immediate concern. 

“No, it’s just some medication for joint pain,” Rosalie replied. 

Lillian paused, well aware of her friend’s three-year ordeal in prison. After her release, Rosalie developed rheumatic pain that caused her discomfort and pain, especially during cold and gloomy weather. 

Lillian had advised her to seek medical treatment previously, but Rosalie had always found various excuses to avoid it. 

She knew Rosalie believed medical treatment was costly and preferred to tough it out. She had even offered to cover the medical expenses, but Rosalie had declined her offer. 

Now, Rosalie was actively taking steps to improve her health, likely with Jonathan’s assistance.
