The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike novel Chapter 927

Chapter 927 

Jonathan followed them. He cast a glance at Connor’s hand that had just clasped Kaylie’s, then turned his thoughtful gaze toward Kaylie who was striding ahead. 

Jonathan wondered, “What is Mrs. Smuckler afraid of? When she shook hands with me just now, her hand was trembling!” 

Since Connor and Kaylie had already booked a hotel and preferred not to stay in the Youngblood residence, Jonathan and Rosalie sent them to the hotel to place their luggage. Afterward, Jonathan and Rosalie bought them dinner at a famous hotel in Strico. 

The triplets went to the dinner that night and so did Karina and Felix. 

Karina was there because of Zekiah. Zekiah was like a piece of gum that could not be removed from her. Except for the time when she was in school, he would follow her almost everywhere she went. 

Such a sight was even more obvious especially after Zekiah’s identity was exposed. 

After seeking advice from a psychologist, Rosalie came to understand that the child was experiencing emotional distress. In a way, his behavior resembled that of a creature that instinctively identifies the first moving object it sees as its mother. 

As Karina was the only one who had really protected Zekiah, Zekiah would instinctively rely on Karina. 

As for Felix, it was because Jennifer had insisted that they come together. 

Connor looked at the triplets happily and gave them monetary gifts, while Kaylie produced three intricately knotted bracelets, each adorned with a gold cross pendant symbolizing life. 

“This is for your children. I hope they will be safe in the future,” Kaylie said to Rosalie. 

Connor chimed in, “Kaylie made these bracelets. It took her almost a month.” 

Rosalie immediately noticed the intricate weaving of the three bracelets, which was far more complex than what was typically available in the market. 

“Thank you, Mrs. Smuckler.” Rosalie took the bracelets and helped her kids wear them. 

Because there were only three bracelets, Kaylie prepared two monetary gifts and gave them to Karina and Felix. 

During the meal, Jonathan asked casually, “Your ascent is somewhat different from the local accent in Lofbury, Mrs. Smuckler. I wonder where you came from.” 

Kaylie stopped what she was doing and said, “I… came from a small place, but I moved to Lofbury a long time ago.” 

“Really?” Jonathan smiled faintly. “I wonder what small place. Maybe I’ve been there before.” 

Crash! 

The glass in Kaylie’s hand suddenly slipped down from her hand, and the beverage spilled on the table. Connor and Rosalie hurriedly helped wipe the table with tissues. 

Connor asked Kaylie, “Are you alright?” 

“I’m just… a little nervous.” Kaylie took a deep breath. “After all, we met Mr. Youngblood, the head of the Youngblood family as soon as we arrived in Strico. I’ve only seen him in the news.” 

Jonathan said, “Mrs. Smuckler, you hold as much significance to me as you do to Rosie. You don’t need to be nervous or think of me as the head of the Youngblood family. I am just Rosie’s husband. You can call me Jonathan.” 

Kaylie looked at Jonathan who was smiling gently, her eyes misty. 

“Jon… Jonathan…” Kaylie said softly after a long while. 

Jonathan flashed a smile in return. 

The atmosphere at the scene became harmonious again. After the meal, Jonathan said to Rosalie on the way back, “Mrs. Smuckler seems to be afraid of me.” 

“I guess she was just nervous. Didn’t she say so because it was the first time she had seen someone she 

had only seen in the news?” Rosalie said. “Mrs. Smuckler is just a housewife. Mr. Smuckler worries about

her leg, so he never lets her go out to work. And because of that, she doesn’t get to meet many people, so it’s not weird that she was nervous around you. There are many rumors about that…” 

you 

“Rumor? What rumor?” Jonathan raised his eyebrows and looked at Rosalie with interest. 

Rosalie felt awkward. The rumors about him were definitely not good. It was said that he was cruel and cold-blooded. In Strico, if anyone offended him, there would be no good ending. 

“Hmm? What kind of rumor could make Mrs. Smuckler so nervous?” Jonathan continued. 

“Well, you’re cold-blooded and merciless. If anyone tries to mess with you in Strico, it probably won’t end up well for them…” Rosalie said in a soft voice. 

Jonathan held Rosalie’s hand and said, “Then you can tell Mrs. Smuckler to rest assured. Even if she really messes with me one day, I won’t hurt her for your sake.”
