The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike

Chapter 972

She knew how hard it was.

Unlike ordinary children, the educational style Zaid received from Kurt ruined all the innocence of a child.

Fortunately, Zaid met Karina, a little girl who gave him warmth and a sense of attachment.

Except for Karina, Zaid would not let anyone else into his heart.

However, Zaid was worried about her and Jonathan after he saw the news. She wondered if this was a sign of him slowly letting them into his heart.

Perhaps one day, Zaid would fully accept them.

Rosalie approached Zaid, crouching at his eye level, and her gaze was almost level with his. She said, “I’m happy you came to see me and your daddy.”

A trace of confusion flashed in his eyes as he did not understand why this person he should call Mommy was happy.

He thought, “Isn’t she injured? Shouldn’t she be sad?”

He raised his little hand and reached for Rosalie’s neck. Karina wanted to stop him, but it was too late. He grabbed Rosalie’s neck. His little hand pulled at the bandage around her neck, inadvertently tugging at her wound. Immediately, she furrowed her brows in pain.
