The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike

Chapter 217

Calvin’s fingers that were holding the coffee cup clenched slightly. “What if I’ve regretted it?” Back then, he had underestimated the impact Rosalie had on him.

He assumed Rosalie was only important to him because she resembled the person he was looking for.

However, gradually, he realized it was more than that. When he saw someone threatening her and about to harm her, he felt his heart clenching, and he virtually rushed over to protect her instinctively.

It was as if as long as she got even a little hurt, it would cause him immense pain. When she was about to leave, he was reluctant to let her go as well, seemingly hoping that her gaze could linger on him a little longer.

Even just a few seconds longer would suffice.

Calvin had never cared so deeply for a woman before, other than the little girl who saved him back then. Rosalie was the only exception.

He would even think that maybe he shouldn’t have given her to Jonathan so easily. He wondered if he would miss the person he was looking for less and if his pain of longing would be reduced had she stayed with him.

Jonathan’s eyes immediately darkened, and he stared at Calvin coldly. “You won’t have that chance. I won’t let you have it

either.”

“Really?” Calvin met Jonathan’s gaze head-on. “Then, I’d really like to give it a try. Let’s see why is it I won’t have that chance.”

The two men faced off each other. Even Amelia, who was at the cashier counter, could sense the tension in the air.

Although she couldn’t hear what they were talking about from where she stood, judging from their expressions, she knew it was definitely not a merry conversation.

All of a sudden, Jonathan chuckled. His thin lips quirked upward, and an attractive smile appeared. However, all that filled his glistening eyes was mockery. “Why? Weren’t you solely dedicated to the owner of that silver bracelet? Are you telling me you’ve also fallen for Rosalie now? Since when did you have so much love to give, Mr. Gunner?”
