The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike

Chapter 750

“How long has she been asleep?” Jonathan asked the caretaker. “About an hour,” the caretaker answered.

Jonathan bent down and gently stroked Rosalie’s cheek.

Only at this time could he touch her like that. He feared she would throw up because of her physical resistance toward him.

Shock flashed across the caretaker’s eyes.

She had been arranged to take care of Rosalie before but had never seen Jonathan appear. The caretaker had always thought Rosalie only managed to marry into the Youngblood family because she was pregnant with children and that Jonathan did not care about her.

Now, the caretaker was a little dumbfounded as she watched the scene.

Jonathan seemed to care dearly for Rosalie that even his touch was so careful as if he was handling a precious treasure.

Suddenly, Rosalie’s eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she opened her eyes in a daze. When Jonathan’s face entered her vision, she mumbled, “Jon…”

Jonathan’s body stiffened abruptly, but he had subconsciously retracted his hand. “Sorry for waking you up. If you’re still sleepy, you can sleep longer,” he said. “No need. If I go back to sleep, I’ll be unable to fall asleep at night.” She sat up slowly.

He wanted to help her sit up but immediately withdrew his hands upon remembering something and let the caretaker help Rosalie up.

“Then, you should wash up. I’ll have someone serve the food,” Jonathan said. “Okay,” Rosalie replied and got up.

Because her stomach had grown bigger, her movements had become more sluggish.

After she finished washing up and came to the dining room, she saw Jonathan quietly sitting on the chair at the table. He was looking down as if staring at his own hands.

“What’s wrong with his hands?” Rosalie wondered.
