The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike novel Chapter 400

Chapter 400 

Rosalie dragged her suitcases and walked all the way to the nearest bus stop near the Youngblood residence. While she was sitting on the bench, her phone rang. 

Rosalie was stunned for a moment before pulling out her phone and discovering that Lillian was calling her. After she saw the caller ID, Rosalie suddenly had the urge to cry. 

When she pressed the answer button, Lillian’s familiar voice came from the other end. “Rosalie, are you at the Youngblood residence right now? Callum and I are on our way there.” 

Rosalie suddenly remembered that it was her birthday that day, and she had invited Lillian and Callum to join her in celebrating her birthday that day. 

However, there was no need to celebrate it 

anymore. 

“There is no need for you to come over. I have already broken up with Jonathan. There will be no birthday celebration today,” Rosalie replied, her voice now bitter with each word. 

Lillian was immediately taken aback. “Broken up? You and Jonathan have broken up? What happened? Wait, where are you 

now?” 

Lillian was becoming concerned because everything had happened so suddenly. 

Moreover, Rosalie’s voice on the phone was also calm. 

It was precisely her calmness that made Lillian even more uneasy. She was well aware of her friend’s personality. It would have been better if Rosalie had cried out loud and vented her emotions. 

Rosalie’s calmness could only indicate that she was suppressing all of her pain. 

In fact, Rosalie had always kept her pain to herself, never complaining or venting to anyone, just like she had done while she was imprisoned years ago. 

However, she became even more depressed as a result of that. 

Rosalie was making slow but steady progress toward recovery, and Lillian did not want her friend to revert to the state she was in right after being released from prison. 

“Rosalie, where are you right now? Tell me!” Lillian urged anxiously. 

Nonetheless, there was only silence on the other end of the phone. 

“I’m going to have Callum check all the surveillance footage on the road if you do not tell me right away. I will also notify the police and have them search the entire city for you. If necessary, I will even run a newspaper advertisement…” Lillian rambled on, determined to find out Rosalie’s whereabouts. 

She did not breathe a long sigh of relief until she finally heard Rosalie’s voice on the other end of the phone. “All right, just wait for me. Do not go anywhere!” 

After saying that, Lillian urgently turned on the navigation on her phone. “Quick, drive the car to this location. Rosalie is there!” she said to Callum, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, as she pointed to the destination on her phone’s map. 

Callum started the car immediately, following the directions from the navigation. 

“Rosalie and Jonathan broke up?” he asked, having overheard parts of the conversation earlier. 

“Yeah. I do not know what happened exactly, and it’s hard to discuss on the phone. We will have to ask Rosalie when we see her later. I can only hope she is not in any more trouble,” Lillian worriedly said, her body tensing up. 

She thought Rosalie had already been through enough hardships, but now she was suffering even more than she needed to. “Why is God treating Rosalie this way?” she wondered. 

Suddenly, Lillian felt as if something heavy was pressing against her chest, making it difficult for her to breathe. 

On the other side, Rosalie made a phone call to Amelia. “Ms. Haab, something has come up with today’s birthday party, so please don’t bring Aiden over. I’ll come see you another day.” 

Amelia was dumbstruck, and from Rosalie’s voice, she could sense that something was wrong. “What happened? Is something wrong?” 

“It’s just a minor issue. I’ll explain another day. Please apologize on my behalf to Aiden because we will not be able to have cake today as promised. I will get him a cake another time,” Rosalie said, trying to sound natural. 

“If you have 

any problems, please contact me. Although I may not be able to help much, it’s good to have someone to discuss things with,” Amelia said sincerely. 

Rosalie was someone she considered to be her real friend. 

She had moved away to avoid Warren and had lost contact with her previous friends since her release from prison. Because 

of that, she didn’t have any friends now. 

Rosalie was basically her only friend at the time. 

“Thank you, Ms. Haab. Don’t worry. I’m fine,” Rosalie said before ending the call. 

“Yes, I’m fine. It’s just another breakup, and I have descended from heaven to hell once more. No, it’s not truly hell yet because it’s still better than when I was wrongfully imprisoned back then,” she mused. 

At the very least, she was now free to go wherever she pleased, do whatever she pleased, and make her own decisions rather than being confined behind iron bars, beaten and kicked by others, and living in fear every day. 

Rosalie looked at her phone, which was the old one that she had not thrown away. 

The new phone Jonathan had bought for her had been damaged the day before while she was on the mountain, so she had put her SIM card back into her old phone.
