The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike novel Chapter 864

Chapter 864 

It’s nothing. I just felt like coming here all of a sudden,” Jonathan said. After all, he didn’t want to get Amelia’s hopes up until there was concrete evidence. 

“Are you feeling down?” Rosalie asked. 

“Why, do you think I’m only here because I’m feeling down?” Jonathan’s eyes flickered slightly. 

Is it?” She gazed at him. 

“No.” He shook his head, pulling her into an embrace. I’m not feeling down. In fact, I’m quite content.” At least, there was a possibility that the child might be the one they had lost. If it turned out to be true, she would be very happy. 

Then, he would see her genuine smile, rather than the smile she had on now with a lingering sadness in her eyes. 

Rosalie still seemed puzzled. “Did something happen today that made you happy?” 

“Why, isn’t being with you enough to make me happy?” he murmured, lowering his head to kiss her lips.. 

He thought, “If my father were watching from above, he would surely be happy to see me with the one I love. Rosalie and I have been through so much, and now we can be together. Our ending won’t be like my father’s. Rosalie isn’t my mother. She won’t leave me and will always be by my side, won’t she? That’s for sure!” In the restaurant, Jerick watched as Lillian seemed lost in thought, staring at a passerby outside the window. “What’s the matter? You’ve been staring at someone’s back for a while.” 

“Ah!” Lillian snapped back to reality and quickly said, “Nothing, I just thought that person’s back looked familiar, but… It’s not someone I know.” 

After saying that, Lillian lowered her head to eat the food in front of her. 

“That person’s back actually looks a bit like Callum,” Jerick’s voice reached Lillian’s 

cars. 

Lillian’s body stiffened. 

Yes, that person’s back did resemble Callum’s. In that split second, she event thought she saw Callum. But on closer inspection, it wasn’t him. 

“I’m sorry.” She raised her head and looked at Jerick earnestly. 

Jerick chuckled slightly. “What do you have to be sorry for?” 

Lillian hesitated for a moment and then said, “Perhaps we can’t be a couple. I’m sorry. After everything that’s happened, you’ve been encouraging and trusting me, and I appreciate that. But… I seem to be unable to develop romantic feelings for 

you.

“Is it because you still have feelings for Callum?” Jerick said without any sign of anger as if he had expected this. 

Lillian was silent. She thought she could put Callum down. Over the years, she had been slowly putting it down and would think less about him. Every time she thought of him, her heartache became less and less painful. 

She had hoped that one day her heart would no longer be stirred by that man. 

However, these days, Callum always appeared in her mind. She kept thinking about the scene where he took her to the apartment and kissed her before talking to her. Sometimes, it even led to sleepless nights. 

She realized that all her efforts to move on were crumbling because of Callum’s reappearance. 

“Are you planning to get back together with Callum?” Jerick asked. “Now that he’s no longer engaged to the daughter of the Tall family, no one would object to your relationship.” 

Lillian shook her head. “I never thought about getting back together with him. Our backgrounds and values are too different. Even if we forced a relationship, it would eventually run into problems. But…” 

She bit her lip and confessed, “It seems like a part of my heart still belongs to him. So, being with you in a romantic way wouldn’t be fair to you, Jerick. I appreciate the time we’ve spent together, but I think it’s best for us to part ways here.”
