The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike

Chapter 266

Loretta hadn’t felt this way for a long time. Even if she knew that Rosalie and Jonathan were together, she didn’t feel that Rosalie was overshadowing her. After all, she was Calvin’s official girlfriend.

But now, Loretta felt like she was inferior to Rosalie.

Calvin came to his senses and said to Rosalie, “What a coincidence. We meet again.”

“Hello,” responded Rosalie in a simple manner.

Calvin’s gaze turned toward Jonathan as he said, “I didn’t expect you would attend today’s banquet.”

“I’m just here to let Rosalie experience things. After all, she will eventually need to get to know some people in the future,” said Jonathan indifferently. But the amount of information insinuated in that sentence was quite a lot.

Loretta was shocked. “What did Jonathan mean by Rosalie will eventually need to get to know them? Can it be that… Jonathan is hinting that he will marry Rosalie in the future?” she wondered.

When Loretta thought of this, a trace of jealousy rose in her heart. But on the surface, she smiled and said, “It’s been a long time since I saw you, Rosie. Speaking of which, I have always wanted to apologize for the grave relocation issue last time. Our parents were well-intentioned but had ended up screwing things. I’m sure it was just a misunderstanding between you and our parents. They had probably blurted some unintentional words due to their anxiousness. I hope you won’t take it to heart, Rosie. Dad has missed you very much these days. If you are free, why not go home and see him?”

When Loretta said all this, her attitude was humble, as though everything that had happened was indeed a misunderstanding.

Rosalie smiled slightly and said, “You don’t have to apologize. After all, it has nothing to do with you, right? Why do you need to apologize for that?”

Her words were indifferent, but they made Loretta speechless for a moment. Loretta could only act like she had been wronged.

Whereas Calvin could only frown and glance at Loretta. He didn’t know what Rosalie and Loretta were talking about, but it was obviously an unpleasant incident.

“That’s enough. I’m sure you are tired. I’ll take you over there to have a break,” said Jonathan as he turned and looked at

Rosalie.

“All right,” replied Rosalie with a sweet smile.

This smile put Calvin in a trance.

Just as Rosalie was about to leave, Calvin couldn’t help but reach out and grabbed her wrist.

Rosalie paused in her steps. She looked back weirdly at the wrist Calvin had grabbed and then looked at him. “Mr. Gunner?”

Calvin finally came to his senses. He thought, ‘What is wrong with me? The person in front of me is not the one I’m looking for. But just now, when she was about to leave, I seem to have gone back to that year again. The little girl also smiled and asked me to get well soon and that we will meet again soon.

But after I let go of her hand, I never saw her again.

How

many times in my dreams did I wish that I could grab hold of that hand and never let it go? And how many times did I regret it after I woke up? Why did I just let go of that hand back then? If I hadn’t let go of her at that time, I wouldn’t be searching for her so hard without getting any results.

At this moment, although Calvin knew he should let go of Rosalie’s hand, his hand seemed to be going against his will. He was still holding onto her hand and didn’t want to let go.

Just then, Calvin’s wrist was grabbed onto by another hand.

“Calvin, I think you’d better release your hand. I don’t like to see my girlfriend being held by another man.” Jonathan’s voice sounded cold. His clear gaze was icy at the moment.

Calvin and Jonathan had known each other for many years, so Calvin naturally knew Jonathan’s personality.

Usually, although Jonathan looked cold sometimes, his gaze would be nonchalant. But now it was different. Jonathan’s gaze was icy, and at the same time, Calvin felt a pain in his wrist.

Calvin even had a feeling that if he didn’t let go, Jonathan would straight off break his wrist.

“She is just another woman. There is really no need to get into an impasse with Jonathan over this. After all… Rosalie isn’t the one I’m looking for. Hadn’t I already accepted that before?” thought Calvin.

Calvin lowered his gaze slightly and loosened his fingers, which instantly freed up Rosalie’s hand. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Sorry, I seem to have lost my composure just now. It is only because Ms. Leighton reminded me of an old acquaintance,”

said Calvin.

“She is not your old acquaintance. In the future, don’t lose your composure like that,” said Jonathan coldly and left while he

held Rosalie’s hand.

Calvin gazed inscrutably at Rosalie’s back. And Loretta, who was beside Calvin, nearly wanted to scream.

She thought, ‘It can’t be true, right? Actually… It should be true. If the painting I had seen in Calvin’s studio that he had painted was the old acquaintance, then I can almost be sure that the person Calvin is looking for is Rosalie.

I have a clear impression of the dress that Rosalie had worn, the appearance of the little girl in the painting, and the silver bracelet that was so precious to Calvin. All of these would match up with Rosalie without any doubt.

It is just that I will keep this secret in my heart and never reveal it to him!

“Calvin, didn’t you say that you would take me to see some producers today?” asked Loretta. She tried to break the silence between them.

Calvin glanced at the person standing beside him. His inscrutable gaze turned into a kind of apathetic alienation. He smiled gently and said, “All right, I’ll take you to meet them now.”

As he said that, Calvin took Loretta and walked over to the other side.

Loretta held Calvin’s arm, but there was an indescribable uneasiness in her heart.

She thought, ‘Even if I am his girlfriend and so close to him, the sense of alienation he emits makes it so that I am unable to get close to him no matter what.

One day, I will make him submit to me! I want to become successful and live a better life than anyone else!’

Jonathan took Rosalie to a quiet and secluded place.

“You must be tired. Sit down for a while,” said Jonathan as he let her sit on the sofa.

“I’m all right,” said Rosalie. But she was slightly nervous because she hadn’t attended a banquet like this for a long time. When Calvin had grabbed her like that, she had actually been worried for a moment.

“Do you want something to eat?” asked Jonathan.

Before Rosalie could answer, someone came over and said, “Jonathan, is this your girlfriend? Why don’t you introduce her

to me?”

Rosalie looked up and saw that the man who had walked over was the same age as Jonathan. Although he was dressed in a suit, the smile on his baby face made a favorable impression on people.

Jonathan glanced at the man and said to Rosalie, “This is my friend, Alan.”
