The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike

Chapter 264

“I like it,” Rosalie whispered softly. Women were drawn to beautiful things, so she could not possibly dislike such a lovely gown. However, she added, “But this gown must be expensive, and it feels like a waste to wear it only once.”

Her intention was to suggest that they choose a less expensive gown.

Nonetheless, in response to her words, Jonathan stated, “If you think it is a waste, come with me to more banquets. That way, it won’t be a waste.”

Rosalie was rendered speechless.

The next moment, Jonathan took Rosalie’s hand and said, “All right. Let’s go.”

She gently hummed in response as the warmth of his hand spread to hers. Standing up, she followed him out of the room and went downstairs.

The car was waiting outside the residence. Jonathan led Rosalie into the car.

During the ride, Rosalie couldn’t help but look at Jonathan. He was dressed in a classic black suit, a white shirt, and a deep purple tie that day. He looked clean and smart, and his outfit complemented him perfectly.

He had distinct features and delicate facial features. His neatly parted black hair exposed his spotless forehead, and his beautiful neckline was well hidden in the collar of his shirt.

If he were to unbutton a few buttons on his shirt, she would probably see his collarbone. Rosalie couldn’t help but picture the shape of his collarbone in her mind.

His collarbone was stunning, to say the least. She had never imagined herself using the word “stunning” to describe a man’s collarbone. But when it came to him, it felt natural and appropriate.

Rosalie’s thoughts wandered, and she could not help but think back to that night. The moment she thought of that, her cheeks warmed up with each passing second.

Although she had never thought of herself as the type of person to make judgments about others based solely on their appearance, she could not help but be struck by his exquisite and striking features whenever she saw him.

It was true that attractive men were too dangerous for women. Rosalie forced herself not to think about him. Abruptly, an elegant voice rang in her ear. “Rosie, what are you thinking?”

The whispered words seemed to carry an irresistible temptation, causing Rosalie’s body to stiffen.

“What in the world am I thinking? What am I going to say to him? I can’t possibly tell him that I was thinking about his body earlier!” she mused.

In an instant, Rosalie’s face turned even redder.

“Your face is so flushed,” Jonathan said, touching her cheek with his slightly cold fingers. The temperature difference made her face feel even hotter.

“I-It is because it is too hot in the car.” Rosalie came up with an excuse hastily, avoiding his gaze and attempting to divert his attention.

He gently pinched her chin with his fingers, half-forcing her to face him directly. “Why aren’t you looking at me?” he asked.

“I-I didn’t…” she replied nervously. She felt even more self-conscious when her gaze met his captivating eyes.

“Are

you sure? You know, your current expression seems to say that you are too embarrassed to look at me. Why? Were you thinking about something related to me just now?” he inquired as he leaned closer to her face.

In fact, his words had hit the bullseye. Rosalie bit her lip and didn’t know how to refute him. His eyes appeared to be capable of seeing right through her thoughts.

“Don’t bite your lip. It’ll smudge your lip makeup,” Jonathan murmured, bringing his lips close to the corner of hers. “So, what were you thinking about? Let me make a guess. Since your face is so red, you were thinking about something intimate between us, weren’t you?”

Rosalie’s widening eyes and expression made it obvious that Jonathan had made the right assumption.

“Tell me. What kind of intimacy was it that you were thinking about? Was it about that night? Were you thinking about that night, Rosie?” he asked again. His voice was so soft that Rosalie felt as though a feather had delicately brushed against her heart.

Rosalie suddenly experienced a burning sensation on her face and exhibited an awkward, embarrassed expression. At that moment, she wished she could bury herself.

However, his fingers were still holding her chin, making it impossible for her to turn away.

Jonathan thought she was adorable when he saw her blushing face. Her watery eyes kept evading his gaze, unaware that she was only fueling the man’s possessiveness and desire.

He might not be able to restrain himself if they were not in the car at the time and did not have the banquet to attend

soon.

“Are you feeling shy? But what’s there to be shy about? Men and women are inherently attracted to one another. Isn’t it a given?” His fingers brushed against her flushed cheek.

His scent was enticing, and his voice lingered in her ear like an invisible seduction, drawing her in. “Did you have a good time that night?”

Her face turned as red as a tomato when she heard that, but when she met his earnest gaze, her heart skipped a beat. He was genuinely curious.

Or perhaps it should be said that her response would be significant to him.

Even though she found it hard to express her feelings, at that moment, facing him, she obediently replied, “Yes, I had a good time.”

After receiving the desired response, a lovely smile appeared at the corners of his lips.

“I had a good time as well. Would you want to indulge in it with me once again?” he inquired softly, his dark eyes glowing with passionate love.

His passionate love was solely for her.

Rosalie felt like she was about to be intoxicated by his smile as she continued to stare at him in a daze.

“Do I want to do it with him again? I guess so. If I don’t, I won’t be greedily staring at that smile on his face right now,” she reasoned.

Deep down, she wanted to see more of his smile.

She seemed to gain satisfaction from seeing his smile, and she would be overjoyed to know that he was content because of her.

If possible, she would love to keep looking at his smile forever.

Although she was embarrassed, Rosalie nodded.

Immediately, Jonathan’s smile grew even wider. “Good. I will satisfy all of your needs. I will give you whatever you

He would give her everything she desired.

Only she could make him do such things and inspire such deep love in him in the entire world.

want.”

He never imagined falling in love with someone like that, but when it happened, he realized he was willingly in love.

He was willing to love her with all his heart, even if it meant leaving everything behind to win her loveContent is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
