The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike

Chapter 274

Thunderstruck, Chelsea realized that her behavior that night truly made her resemble a clown. She presumptuously believed she was ridiculing Rosalie when, in fact, she was simply ridiculing herself. It was she who made herself a laughingstock before everyone!

Meanwhile, Loretta was denied entry outside Calvin’s private mansion. A servant told her, “Ms. Leighton, please go back. Mr. Gunner has stated that he doesn’t want to see anyone.”

“Didn’t you tell him it was me?” Loretta asked hurriedly. She hadn’t seen Calvin since the banquet that day, for every time she tried to see him, he turned her down.

That was why she came directly to his residence, but to her dismay, she was denied entry again.

“Mr. Gunner said he wouldn’t see ‘anyone.’ Ms. Leighton, I think you’re included in the ‘anyone’ list as well. How about you give him a call? If he’s willing to see you, I’ll let you in,” the servant replied respectfully, but there was a subtle trace of disdain in his lowered eyes.

He had seen a lot of women like Loretta. In the past, all of Calvin’s girlfriends were dying to win Calvin’s heart, but no one had ever succeeded.

“This Ms. Leighton may be ambitious, but she’s evidently just like her predecessors, unable to really win Mr. Gunner’s heart. I bet she’ll also lose her status as Mr. Gunner’s girlfriend in no time,” pondered the servant.

Loretta gritted her teeth discreetly but could do nothing other than scowl. “If I could call Calvin and make him see me, would I still be begging a servant like this?” she fumed inwardly.

In the mansion, Calvin was currently in his studio, holding a pencil and drawing incessantly. He was drawing a portrait of the grown-up version he visualized of that little girl in his memory.

However, when he actually finished drawing it, he discovered that what he drew was exactly the way Rosalie looked. Calvin stared blankly at his end product and put down the pencil in his hand.

He thought, ‘Am I insane? I actually drew Rosalie! But I’m clearly thinking of that little girl in my childhood!
