The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike

Chapter 954

Carlos instinctively discerned Jonathan’s simmering displeasure with Rosalie. Lately, Jonathan had secluded himself in the manor, diligently attending to his tasks, fully eschewing the company premises. Despite his absence, the company’s employees palpably sensed an atmosphere of uncertainty akin to treading on fragile ground.

In a matter of mere days, he had dismissed three senior executives. One could only fathom the extent of the impending upheaval should Jonathan’s ire persist for another span.

Over the last 48 hours, numerous individuals sought Carlos out, inquiring about the abrupt termination of their colleagues by Jonathan. Perplexed, Carlos found himself at a loss for an explanation. Even if he possessed the courage, he dared not divulge the truth-their boss’ actions were rooted in a domestic discord with his spouse.

Fortunately, Rosalie had at last made her entrance. Carlos noted that she alone wielded the peculiar knack to incite such profound ire in Jonathan, yet she also appeared to possess the elusive power to soothe his stormy temperament.

Carlos hastened toward the pond. Presently, Jonathan stood serenely by the water, and his gaze fixed upon a meticulously nurtured lotus blossom gracing the pond’s surface.

Although it was not the typical season for lotuses to be in full bloom, the lotuses adorning that pond exhibited an unusually beautiful blossoming.

“Mr. Youngblood, Mrs. Youngblood adamantly declined to leave the manor’s doorway. It appears she intends to persist there until you meet with her,” Carlos reported. Meanwhile, his keen eyes attentively studied Jonathan’s reaction.

Jonathan’s handsome countenance remained unchanged, displaying no flicker of emotion upon hearing the news as if he had been informed of a mundane occurrence.

“If she wishes to wait, then so be it,” Jonathan remarked nonchalantly.

“Understood,” Carlos responded. Given the directive, it was evident that Jonathan was deeply upset with her this time.

“You may take your leave now. I want to be alone,” Jonathan uttered.

Carlos nodded subtly and left. Jonathan remained rooted by the pond, and his gaze fixed upon the lotus blooms while assuming a statue-like stillness.

Rosalie couldn’t gauge the duration of her standing, but she noticed that her legs had grown achy, and the sky gradually lightened with the approaching dawn.
