The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike novel Chapter 815

Chapter 815 

“Adopted?” 

“Yes, the family is quite complicated. The man’s wife died, but he has a daughter. Later, he married another woman who gave birth to a son. Yet, he suddenly adopted another child. Don’t you think it’s so strange that he already has both a son and a daughter, yet he still adopted an unrelated child?” Amelia said. 

Many people around here knew about it. She had lived in this area for several years, so she naturally knew about it. 

Rosalie felt sad again. 

She thought, ‘Is that child not related to that family by blood? Then he must have it rough at that house. Without his sister’s protection, he likely would have been kicked out. 

And where would he go if he was abandoned by that family? A welfare home? And then what? Wait for the next family to adopt him?’ 

However, Rosalie also knew that it was better to adopt a child when they were still young. The younger, the better. Unfortunately, this child was already at the age when he could remember things. Besides that, he didn’t have a pleasant personality. It would be difficult to find a good family to adopt him. 

“I’ll go and check on the child.” Rosalie walked out of the concession stand and headed toward that tiny figure. 

Even she didn’t know why she cared so much about that child. 

Perhaps it was because when she was in the amusement park before, the boy’s eyes and expression reminded her of the first time she saw Jonathan. 

Rosalie walked up to the little boy and noticed that he was much the same as when she saw him in the amusement park before. There was no -expression on his beautiful face, and even his eyes were empty, just 

staring at the campus behind the iron gate blankly. 

“Zeki.” Rosalie squatted down and said to Zekiah, “Are you waiting here for your sister?” 

The word “sister” seemed to finally rouse the little boy. He moved his eyes, looked at Rosalie, and then nodded. 

“Do you like your sister very much?” she asked again.

The child nodded again. 

Rosalie smiled. “I also like your sister. She’s incredibly protective of you.” “I like Sis,” Zekiah said with a little difficulty. His voice was childish but somewhat raspy, as if he normally didn’t speak much. 

Rosalie raised her hand and tried to touch the boy’s head, but he quickly dodged. A trace of wariness appeared on his expressionless face. 

Despite his avoidance, Rosalie didn’t seem displeased at all. She just said, “I like you very much. The other day, I saw you at the amusement park fighting with other children for your sister. After that, you… Well, did your parents blame you?” 

She had picked her words after some careful thought. After all, although this child was adopted, that man and woman were technically his adoptive parents. 

After that incident at the amusement park, Jonathan told her that he had dealt with the fight affairs of Zekiah and settled all the medical expenses of those injured boys, and the parents of those children had promised not to pursue the matter. 

It was just that Rosalie didn’t know whether Zekiah’s adoptive parents would still make things difficult for him afterward. 

Zekiah ignored Rosalie and turned to the gate again to stare at the campus behind it. 

Following that, parents here to pick up their children arrived one after another, and more and more people were at the school gate. 

However, Rosalie remained at the school gate with the little boy until it was almost time to pick up Guillermo and Jennifer from kindergarten. It was only then she said, “Zeki, I’m going back. If there is a chance next time, I will come to see you again, okay?” 

Zekiah ignored Rosalie as if he didn’t hear her voice. 

Rosalie’s eyes darkened. She felt an inexplicable pain in her heart, as if something that shouldn’t have been cut off was forcibly done so. 

Then, she laughed at herself. 

She thought, “What’s wrong with me? This is just a child that I met once. Although my heart goes out to him for what he’s been through, there’s no reason for me to feel pain because of his attitude toward me!” 

Taking a moment to calm herself, she turned around and returned to Amelia’s concession stand.

“What’s wrong? You seem to care about that child very much,” Amelia said as she had noticed Rosalie staying by the child’s side. 

“I met him when I was at the amusement park previously. I guess I just feel sorry for him.” Rosalie said, “But it seems that his sister is quite protective of him.” 

“Yeah, people who don’t know would think they are biological brother and sister! He’s quite attached to that sister of his.” Amelia said, 

“Sometimes, she will bring him here to buy some snacks. I’ve only ever seen him smile at her.”
