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?”
