Chapter 105


    “Haven’t I stayed here before? Haven’t we slept together under the same roof then?” he asked


    calmly.


    “Why does it sound so shady?” eximed Rosalie inwardly upon hearing Jonathan’s questions.


    Rosalie bit her lip. “But now…”


    “What’s wrong with now?” he countered.


    “There is no extra bedding here. I have put away your previous ones. They haven’t been washed or


    put under the sun yet. Even if I take them out now, they’ll smell awful.”


    “Well, this is simple.” Jonathan took out his phone and gave some orders to the recipient of his call.


    After a short while, there was a knock on the door.


    When Rosalie opened the door, she saw Carlos and several bodyguards whom she had seen


    following Jonathan in the hospital previously. Currently, they were walking directly into her room with


    quilt sheets and pillows in their hands.

    They entered and said, ‘Sorry for the intrusion, Ms. Leighton.”


    Each one of them would say the same line.


    The corner of Rosalie’s mouth twitched. At this moment, there was nothing she could reply to them


    other than “never mind.”


    When everything was ced orderly, those people left the room one by one.


    In an instant, only the two of them were left in the room.


    Rosalie looked at the neatly made mattress next to her bed. It was the same as before. He slept on


    the mattress beside her bed too then.


    “Are you really going to sleep here?” she asked hesitantly.


    “Do you think I’m lying?” he countered in amusement,


    “Is it still a game for him now? Otherwise, why would he


    me in this small rental home when he has a poverty?” she wondered.


    However, she could only ept his decision.


    Rosalie looked down and said nothing. She just took her change of clothes and wanted to


    go to the bathroom.


    Suddenly, a pair of arms were wrapping her from behind. “I just want to stay here tonight. It’s her


    birthday today.”


    Rosalie was stunned. “Who are you talking about?”


    However, he didn’t answer. He just buried his head deeply in her shoulder and whispered in a


    pleading tone, “Rosie, let me stay here tonight like old times. Okay?”


    Her heart skipped a beat. Now, he was already Jonathan to her, but he was talking to her in Jon’s


    tone.


    “Rosie, is it okay?” he asked again.


    She hesitated for a while and finally asked, “Just for a night?”


    “Yes, just for a night,” he uttered.


    “All right then. Just for a night”


    She thought. “This is just to thank him for saving me from the Foster family and for taking me to the


    hospital for treatment. If he hadn’t shown up at that time, I would have been in a different situation


    now.”


    Only then did Jonathan let go of her.


    Rosalie walked into the bathroom and closed the door. She looked at herself in the mirror.


    Although she still looked delicate and pretty, she was much thinnerpared to a few years ago.


    Nheless, her jaw seemed to be sharper.


    In the past, when her life had still been normal, she had moaned all day about losing weight. She


    had been afraid that she wouldn’t have looked lovely in clothes if she had be fat.


    Currently, she didn’t have to worry about her figure anymore. She was thinner now, but she wouldn’t


    think about whether the clothes looked lovely or not. What she would consider were only the price,


    the practicability, and also the durability of


    the clothes.


    Sometimes, she felt ridiculous when she thought about her past.


    In the past, when she wanted something, she would try her best to achieve it. However, when her


    goal was achieved, she now


    realized that she didn’t care about what she had originally wanted in her current situation.


    Rosalieughed at herself. She really didn’t understand the reason Jonathan still called her Rosie.


    He acted as if he still cared about her and missed their time together.


    “Is he interested in me? He seems to like me very much at times. I can’t help but think that all this is


    just his acting.” Rosalie pondered.


    Rosalie shook her head and stopped thinking about these matters. For now, she could only make


    one step at a time.


    After washing up hurriedly, she walked out of the bathroom. She found Jonathan sitting on the


    mattress. Just like old times, he waited for her to say good night and then went to bed.


    She stepped forward and greeted awkwardly. “Good night.” After that, she got into her bed hastily.


    At this mornent, she just wanted to fall asleep quickly and let time pass by the night.


    However, before she could shut her eyes, Jonathan leaned over and got closer to her. “Rosie, it


    seems that you haven’t called me by my name all night. I want to hear you call me.”


    Her throat tightened. If she turned her back now and shut her eyes, it would look too obvious as if


    she was avoiding him.


    However, she doubted that she would be able to talk to him face to face.


    “What’s wrong, Rosie? Didn’t you promise that we can go back to the way things were before?” he


    asked.


    Rosalie bit her lip slightly “It used to be him acting alone, but now, he actually wants me to act with


    him?” she wondered.


    “Good night. Jon” Finally, she called him by his name.


    Jonathan’s identity had been revealed for only a few months. However, she felt as if it had passed


    for an eternity.


    He smiled gently and lowered his head slightly, getting closer to her.


    She knew what he meant. In the past, before going to bed, she had liked touching his hair. She had


    always said that his hair quality was good and had been envious of him.


    It had been like a habit to touch his head unconsciously before going to bed.


    Right now, he was asking for his head to be touched in this position.


    Rosalie gently put her hand on Jonathan’s head. Her fingers reached into his hair bit by bit and


    touched his head just like before


    However, she felt something different in her heart.


    He lightly brushed the top of his head against her palm and murmured. “Sure enough, I feel at ease


    here.”


    This scene felt so tronic to Rosalie


    “You feel at ease now? But I don’t feel at ease at all because of you,” she eximed inwardly.


    Finally, after his head had been touched, Jonathan returned to his mattress and was about to turn


    off the light.


    “Don’t turn it off!” Rosalie blurted. She felt ufortable when their gazes met. Tm afraid that I


    won’t be able to fall asleep if it’s turned off.”


    He stared at her thoughtfully for a moment and then smiled. “Fine. I’ll leave the light on.”


    She breathed a sigh of relief andy down with her eyes shut. After a long time, his voice could be


    heard again. “Rosie, have you ever hated someone?”
