The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike novel Chapter 248

Chapter 248 

Jonathan bent down slightly and approached Rosalie’s ear, asking softly, “Is it?” 

Rosalie felt embarrassed while remaining silent, not knowing how to answer the question. 

Wilma sighed and took Rosalie’s hand. She then said, “You’ll have to hurry up, then. Otherwise, I won’t have the chance to attend your wedding.” 

Rosalie was stunned upon hearing that. Only when Wilma held her hand like this did she realize that her grandmother was thinner than before. With such a grip, Rosalie could clearly feel the bones of Wilma’s fingers. 

It was as if there was only a thin piece of skin wrapped around the finger bones, without the feeling of flesh and blood. Wilma was actually even older than Rosalie thought. 

Rosalie could not help but feel bitterness in her heart, and her face was naturally full of sadness. 

“Hey, why are you feeling sad again?” Wilma gently patted Rosalie on the back of her hand and said, “I’m relieved to see you have a good life and someone to take care of you now. I can finally see and tell your mother in the afterlife about you.” 

“Granny, please don’t say that!” Rosalie said anxiously. Superstitious or not, she was really afraid that Wilma would leave the world like this. To Rosalie, Wilma was the only one who really treated her as a family now. 

“Okay, okay. I won’t say that again. I have to live for a few more years before I can witness you get married. It’s even better to see you give birth to a child,” Wilma said with a laugh. 

Rosalie finally relaxed and took out the pastries bought for Wilma, letting her try some. 

The three of them chatted about something else. Wilma asked Jonathan about his family. After learning that Jonathan had only his grandfather, with his father having passed away and his mother abandoning him when he was very young, Wilma could not help but show sympathy in her eyes. 

“Your experience is quite similar to Rosalie’s. Rosalie’s mother also passed away, and Rosalie stayed with me for a long time. since then.” Wilma suddenly remembered something and said, “Come on. I still have photos of Rosalie from her childhood. Would you like to have a look?” 

“I would like to.” Jonathan did not refuse. 

Rosalie felt a little embarrassed. “Granny!” 

“Go on. Do me a favor to get the photo album,” Wilma instructed Rosalie. 

Hence, under the double gazes of Jonathan and Wilma, Rosalie had no choice but to bring over the old photo album. 

Wilma then asked Jonathan to join her in looking at the photos in the album. Each time she flipped to a photo of Rosalie, Wilma would tell Jonathan about the situation and the story behind it. 

Although Wilma had become old, she had a good memory and could remember many things clearly, even some small details. 

When the album was turned to a certain page, Jonathan’s eyes suddenly narrowed. He stared at a photo and asked, “Who is this?” 

“Oh, this is Rosalie’s cousin Fiona and also the daughter of my third daughter,” Wilma answered. 

Rosalie also explained, “She’s the one who was in the living room just now. Fiona.” 

“So that’s her,” Jonathan thought with a smile, looking at the person in the photo playfully. “You looked quite similar to her when she was a child, but now both of you look very different.” 

“Yeah. We looked quite similar for a certain time when we were children,” Rosalie replied. “At that time, Fiona and I would sometimes be mistaken for each other, but as we grew up, our features developed differently, and we then looked less alike.” 

“Good. Luckily, both of you look different,” Jonathan murmured, thinking that he did not want that kind of woman to have the same face as Rosalie. 

However, they looked like each other when they were children, which was quite a good thing for Jonathan. 

Jonathan’s eyelashes trembled slightly as the man drooped his eyes. It was as if his long eyelashes covered the thoughts and plans in his eyes at that moment. 

Jonathan and Rosalie stayed for dinner. When the evening approached, Luke came back. His attitude toward Rosalie was very cold, even worse toward Jonathan. 

Luke’s attitude was not a surprise to Rosalie. But looking at his attitude toward Jonathan, she looked at Jonathan worriedly. 

After all, with Jonathan’s identity, no one would dare to treat him with such an attitude. 

However, Jonathan smiled lightly at Rosalie as if he had noticed her concern and signaled with his eyes, informing her not to get worried. 

This made Rosalie feel relieved. 

Wilma was quite happy during the meal and had a better appetite than usual. 

While having the meal, Fiona could not help but say in a sardonic tone, “Granddad, you have no idea that Rosalie has now left the Environment and Sanitation Administration and is working as a delivery rider. Although the job is tiring, it seems she can still make some money if she works harder.”
