Chapter 850
The scene that flashed in her mind earlier must have been when he activated the device.
In the recording, Leonard had clearly stated that once the device was activated, it would explode on his end when the time expired. However, at that time, he was comforting her and telling her not to be afraid.
“I’ll deal with Zachary in the future, okay? Don’t meet him again, and don’t go see anyone from the Xanthos family anymore,” Jonathan said while gently kissing Rosalie.
However, she was still immersed in her memory, only snapping out of it when she felt a twinge of pain in her neck.
She met his deep and beautiful gaze. “What were you thinking about just now?” he asked as he stared at her. It was clear that she seemed distracted. He thought, “We were talking about Zachary. So, she must have been thinking about him, right? Was she thinking about what he had said to her today, or was she reminiscing about her past with him?”
“Nothing.” Rosalie hurriedly said, “I just felt that you were right. If you were by my side, you would risk everything to protect me.”
“Then, will you stop meeting Zachary and the Xanthos family?” he repeated what he had said.
To that, she smiled gently. “I have no intention of meeting them again.” “Even if he comes to ask for your help again, you won’t assist him with anything, will you?” he asked.
“Since I’ve repaid him for saving me, we’re now even. I see no reason to help him anymore.” Moreover, Zachary was someone who had once hurt her.
“That’s good,” he murmured and kissed her again.
She couldn’t help but let out a soft moan. “Jon…”
“You’re beautiful,” he said.
Thump!
Her face flushed immediately. “You…”
“Rosie, love me,” he murmured her name in a low voice and kissed her
continuously.

She pressed her hand against his chest and kissed him.
The next day was the weekend. Rosalie and Jonathan took their children to a musical instrument exhibition in Strico. The exhibition showcased top-tier instruments from around the world, including some renowned brands. Jennifer had been learning to play the piano and expressed a desire to attend, so they had planned this schedule a week ahead. Although the weather had turned cooler, most people were wearing low-collar clothes. However, Rosalie had opted for a high-neck top, wrapping herself up securely.
“Don’t you feel hot, Mommy?” Jennifer blinked her eyes, which resembled Rosalie’s, and asked.
“No,” Rosalie replied awkwardly.
She thought of the passionate kisses they had shared yesterday afternoon, and her face turned crimson. Without the high-neck top, she might have ended up in the news.
Thankfully, Jennifer didn’t press the issue any further and turned to whisper to Guillermo.
Rosalie noticed that her two children had been whispering to each other like this for the past week as if they had a little secret.
However, she didn’t mind. After all, the two having little secrets meant they were close. Since they didn’t grow up together, Rosalie was worried they might feel distant.
In particular, Guillermo had a somewhat aloof personality and wasn’t the kind of child who got along well with others.
Seeing them getting along well made Rosalie happy.
“Are you really not hot?” Jonathan’s voice sounded in Rosalie’s ear.
She turned her head, and her lips were about to brush against his cheek.
“No… I’m not hot!” Rosalie was a little embarrassed. At that moment, their proximity was too close, and she could see his eyelashes, the reflection of her face in his eyes, and even the merging of their breaths. Their breaths seemed to blend.
“Really?” he asked with a hint of a smile.
She couldn’t help but clear her throat and said, “Next time, um… please be careful. People might see us.” She meant something else.
