Chapter 271

“It’s a pity for this dress. It’s ruined after only wearing it once,” Rosalie said regretfully. Dresses of this caliber, once they had such a large tear, even if they could be repaired, would likely require a massive effort.

“I’ll buy you a new one later,” Jonathan said. “Everything’s all right as long as you’re fine.”

Rosalie shook her head with a smile and said, “I’m fine. I’m not as fragile as you think.”

However, her smile made him feel uneasy. Although she looked petite and fragile, she had been living a difficult life all this time.

In the days they had spent together, he had come to understand her resilience more than anyone else. It was precisely because of this that he felt even more guilty.

It was his hesitation that had led her, with her seemingly delicate body, to become so resilient when she shouldn’t have needed to be.

“Sorry…” Jonathan said abruptly.

Rosalie was confused. “For what?”

“I should have acted faster to uncover the truth about your case from back then and clear your name,” Jonathan said.

“My case from back then wasn’t your fault. Why are you apologizing? I’m already happy that you’re helping me to find out the truth,” she said sincerely with trusting eyes.

It was only through this kiss he could convey all his guilt and silently tell her how much he regretted it. Today’s incident, he would stand up for her, and in the future, no one would dare to speak ill of her again.
