The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike

Chapter 249

“Okay, okay. Our Rosalic is the most filial,” Wilma said with a smile.

A trace of sadness appeared on Rosalie’s face. She thought, ‘Am I filial? If I was really filial, then I should’ve brought Granny to live with me and take care of her.

But now, I still live in Jon’s house. If I really wanted to bring Granny back and take care of her, I needed to tell him in advance and needed his approval.

“If you don’t mind, I can let Rosie bring you back to Strico and take care of you.” Jonathan’s voice suddenly sounded.

Rosalie was stunned and looked at Jonathan in surprise. She didn’t expect him to say such words at all.

Wilma seemed to be surprised, and then she smiled and said, “You’re thoughtful. But I’m used to living here. Besides, I have my own children. If I let my granddaughter take care of me, others will gossip. When I get better, I can visit you in

Strico.”

Then Wilma turned her head again and said to Rosalie, “Well, go back early. Otherwise, it will be late when you return to Strico.”

Rosalie nodded. “Granny, I’ll visit you again next time.”

After saying goodbye to Wilma, Rosalie and Jonathan got in the car. Jonathan started the car and slowly drove away Wilma. Rosalie watched from the rearview mirror as Wilma stood there all the time, watching Rosalie and Jonathan leave. Rosalie couldn’t help but tear up again.

After visiting Wilma today, it was clear that she had aged quite a bit compared to before. It seemed that this illness, even though it had been cured, had taken a toll on her body.

For the old woman, it might take quite a long time to fully recover and regain her health.

“If you are worried about your granny, I can find a way to get her to Strico.” Jonathan’s voice sounded in the car.

Rosalie shook her head and said, “No need. Perhaps if she stays at home and gets a good rest, she can feel better soon.” Although Daniel, Edward, and Sarah were not so filial as well, there was one similar thing they shared.

That was, they cared about their reputation. In this town, it was inevitable for everyone to bump into each other frequently. Most of the people living in the town knew each other. If Daniel and the others didn’t take good care of Wilma, they would be labeled as unfilial.

Moreover, Rosalie had noticed that Wilma’s clothes and the bedding in Wilma’s room were relatively clean. At least in this aspect, it seemed Daniel and the others were taking decent care of Wilma.

“Thank you for today,” Rosalie said.

“What for?” Jonathan raised his eyebrows and asked, “For giving you a lift here?”

“Thank you for tolerating my relatives so much,” Rosalie said. Otherwise, with Luke’s harsh words, and Sarah’s and Fiona’s ironic words, Rosalie was afraid none of her relatives would have an easy time.

“I’m not tolerating them. I’m just ignoring them.” Jonathan said. He had come with her, so he naturally wouldn’t pay any attention to those few people. “But hearing them talk about you like that, don’t you get angry?”

“Sometimes I do get angry, but I’ve learned to let it go. It’s just one of those things,” Rosalie said. “So I told myself that even if it was a relative, there was no need to care about what the other person thought and what they said. We don’t live together, anyway. Besides, we might only meet a few times a year.”

Perhaps it was because she had experienced a lot, so she understood better that no matter how well she acted and how to

please others, in the end, those who didn’t like you would still not like

you.

Therefore, what she should care about was the people who cared about her. As for others, she wouldn’t care anymore.

Jonathan glanced at Rosalie out of the corner of his eye. She just sat there peacefully with a calm expression, as if she had a deep understanding of life.

She just sat next to him, but it had a calming effect on him. It was as if just looking at her like this could help him relax and ease the usual tension and sharpness of living a life filled with games and deception.

Others only thought about how glamorous his life was. However, he knew that the higher he stood, and the more powerful he was, the more people around him would plot against him.

What appeared glorious was actually dangerous. Maybe with a little carelessness, the vast Youngblood Group would collapse.

Therefore, he would be very careful every time he took a step. It had become the norm for him to take one step and

calculate ten steps ahead, constantly calculating every possible outcome in the future. It had even made him forget what it felt like to relax.

Perhaps only she could give him this sense of relaxation.

Halfway through the journey, the car arrived at the rest area, and Jonathan got out of the car to buy water. Rosalie sat in the passenger seat and looked at the steering wheel on her left side.

She remembered the excitement of touching the steering wheel for the first time when she learned to drive. At that time, the money for the driver’s license was paid by the first lawyer’s fee she earned.

At that time, she didn’t expect that a year after learning to drive would be like a nightmare for her.

She didn’t know how long it had been since she last touched the steering wheel. Rosalie couldn’t help but raise her hand and reach toward the steering wheel.

But when her fingers almost touched the steering wheel, she felt her heart beat so fast that it almost jumped out of her

throat.

The scene of the car accident flashed through her mind. At that time, she turned the steering wheel quickly to avoid the other car, but everything seemed too late. That car crashed into her car like that, and then she was knocked unconscious.

She thought, “How long did I faint? About tens of seconds? Or maybe one minute… Two minutes…”

When she opened her eyes, she touched her head and felt blood on her hand. As she struggled to climb out of the car, she saw the vehicle that had collided with her was now on fire…

She wanted to go there and put out the fire, but it was too late. The fire spread all over the car so quickly…

Rosalie took a deep breath abruptly. Her grip on the steering wheel tightened subconsciously, and the veins on the back of her hands protruded.

“Don’t think about it anymore… Don’t think about it!” She said to herself in her heart, but her body couldn’t help trembling.

At that time, she could only watch the spreading fire. She thought, “If my car had crashed close to the fuel tank at that time, my car would also be on fire right? And I would be in the car…”

She couldn’t continue imagining it.

Even Lillian said that Rosalie had been given a second lease on life.

The moment she looked at the fire, her body trembled violently as it was now. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

At this moment, the sound of the door being opened resounded. Rosalie raised her head subconsciously and looked in the direction of the driver’s seat.
