Chapter 45


    When the woman got even slightly closer to him, Jonathan felt disgusted. Sure enough, the feeling


    of holding another woman was so much different than having Rosalie in his arms.


    Walking to the rental home, Jonathan squatted down and took out the spare key from under the


    floor mat of the front door. Rosalie preferred to put the spare key there, saying that even if she


    didn’t bring her key, there were no worries about her being unable to enter her home.


    Jonathan opened the door and saw that the light in the room was still on., Rosalie’s curvy figure


    was on a chair at the table with her upper body sprawled on the table and her head tilted as she


    nodded off.


    Jonathan looked at Rosalie’s sleeping face. Under the light, her face looked as serene and peaceful


    as a summer’s day. His heart seemed to settle down when he saw her.


    He raised his hand and gently flicked the hair lying across her cheek. It seemed like he wouldn’t tire


    of looking at her like this for the rest of his life.


    After a while, Jonathan bent down and carefully carried Rosalie up from the chair.


    Even after he deliberately lightened his movements, he still woke her up. “Jon…” She groggily


    opened her eyes, and her dazed beautiful eyes seemed to sparkle as they reflected the light in the


    room.


    “Well, I’m back,” said Jonathan. “I’ll carry you back to bed. You can go back to sleep.”


    As he spoke, he carried Rosalie toward the bedside.


    She leaned her head against his arms and asked sleepily, “You… smell so good. It’s the smell of


    perfume, right… Where have you been?”


    “I had something to do today, so I went to a bar. Maybe the smell got on me when I was there,”


    exined Jonathan as he ced her on the bed. “Go to sleep obediently, all right? I’ll go wash off


    the smell.”


    Her eyelids were gradually drooping until they finally shut.


    After covering Rosalie with a quilt, Jonathan took off his clothes and went to the bathroom.


    In the bathroom, he stood under the water and washed his body. The


    14:18


    perfume on him should be the smell of that woman who had been in the club just now.


    The expensive perfume didn’t even smell as good as the soap in his hand because… It had the


    same smell as Rosalie.


    It was as if his whole body was covered with Rosalie’s smell.


    When Jonathan finished washing and walked out of the bathroom, he gazed at the woman lying in


    bed.


    He bent down slightly, and the tip of his nose got closer to her, sniffing the smell on Rosalie’s body.


    “Rosalie, when should I let you know who I am? Or should I let you rely on me more all the time


    until you can’t bear to be apart from me? At that time, even if you found out who I am, you will still


    stay with me, right?” murmured Jonathan. There was only each other’s breathing and heartbeat in


    the narrow room. Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    It was a rare asion when it was Rosalie’s turn for an off day on the weekend, so Lillian took


    Rosalie shopping.


    They hadn’t gone shopping for a long time. Rosalie felt like she had returned to the past when she


    hung out with Lillian.


    It was just like before everything had gone wrong in her life. During those times, Rosalie would often


    take Lillian shopping on weekends. Those beautiful memories of her worry–free life shed through


    her mind.


    “By the way, where is Jon? Do you understand more about him now? For example, where is his


    hometown? Who are his family members and stuff?” asked Lillian. In short, Lillian’s biggest worry


    was that Rosalie would meet a scammer.


    “All I know is that his father had passed away, and his mother seemed to have left them. He didn’t


    say anything else, nor did I ask,” said Rosalie smilingly.


    “Are you an idiot? Why haven’t you asked more about him? You should at least know what he was


    doing before this!” Lillian said.


    Rosalie smiled faintly and said, “What’s the point in knowing what he used to do before this? In the


    past, I thought Zachary and I knew each other well. I knew about his family background, the school


    he had studied at since childhood, Zachary’s license te number, and even his social security


    number. I knew everything about him clearly, yet I didn’t seem to have seen through what kind of


    person he was.”

    Lillian bit her lips and said, “I’m sorry.”


    “What is there to be sorry about?” said Rosalie as sheughed. “It has nothing to do with you. I


    know you are worried about me, but I don’t care about that right now. Besides, if he doesn’t want to


    tell me and makes up some lies to evade me, what would be the point in asking then?”


    “Forget about it. Come with me to buy some clothes. I need to buy a business suit I can wear when


    I meet with clients. The boss of our design. institute insists that I wear formal clothes when meeting


    clients,” Lillianined while pulling Rosalie into a big store next to them.


    In Lillian’s words, she just wanted to check out more styles without paying any money and then buy


    something she could afford.


    Rosalie stood in the store and could feel the store assistant’s eyes on her. Rosalie’s cheap clothes


    were somehow ipatible with the store’s image.


    “Huh? It turned out to be you. How can a person like you enter this store too? It’s like you are


    pulling down the ssiness of the store.” A voice sounded in the shop. Rosalie looked up and saw


    two familiar figures.


    One was Yvette, and the other was Zachary’s sister Zendaya.


    At this moment, they were wearing expensive luxury clothing and carrying bags of famous brands,


    looking at her with disdain.


    Zendaya was especially dissatisfied with Rosalie when she thought of Zachary’s warning to her that


    day.


    After seeing Zendaya and Yvette, the store assistant immediately greeted them enthusiastically,


    “Ms. Hamilton, Ms. Xanthos, a new batch of clothes were just stocked into our store recently. Do


    you want to look at them and see if anything suits you? Some of them were showcased and


    received rave reviews at the International Fashion Show.”


    “Let’s have a look then,” Zendaya said, and then she smiled at Rosalie maliciously. “Rosalie, do you


    want to try on the clothes too? But I’m afraid you can’t afford the things here even if you save for a


    year with your current sry. I can’t believe a sanitary worker dares to enter this kind of store.”


    After hearing the words “sanitary worker,” the other assistants in the store looked at Rosalie with


    surprise, and their gazes became even more contemptuous.


    “What’s wrong with being a sanitary worker?” asked Lillian, who was


    14:18


    looking at the clothes on the other shelves before. When she heard themotion over here, she


    immediately rushed over. Lillian snapped at Zendaya, “Is there anyw stipting that a sanitary


    worker can’t enter this store to look at clothes?”


    “The question is, can you afford it?” Zendaya said disdainfully. “You are just a sanitary worker. You


    only want to make trouble bying into this store to check out the clothes.”


    Then, she looked at the store assistant beside her and asked, “Shouldn’t you ask people whoe


    here to make trouble to leave?”


    Zendaya was a frequent customer here. The store assistants here usually ttered the daughter of


    the Xanthos family. Hence, one of the


    supervisors went up to Rosalie and Lillian and said, “If you aren’t buying any clothes, please leave


    first.”
