Chapter 561
After all, it was just that he still loved her in his heart.
“Rosic, I hope you can care about me and only me. And I will care about you more than anyone
else…” Jonathan said as sleepiness gradually swept over him.
Holding her hand like that made him feel at ease and contented.
After a long time, Rosalie slowly turned her head and looked at Jonathan who had fallen asleep on
the floor, feeling somewhat lost.
Rosalie didn’t know when she had fallen asleep. She only remembered that, in the end, she
seemed to have been looking at Jonathan’s face until she fell asleep.
Fortunately, Jonathan was no longer in the room when she woke up, which saved her the trouble of
embarrassment.
Rosalie got out of bed and washed up. Then, she walked out of the room and went downstairs, only
to find Jonathan preparing breakfast in the kitchen.
“Morning. Breakfast will be ready soon,” Jonathan said.
Then, she watched him busy working in the kitchen. In the past few days, except when he caught a
cold, he had prepared all the meals, but she had never watched him do that, so she found it new
and intriguing now that she saw it.
Just as he said, breakfast was ready soon.
It was a wholesome breakfast with oatmeal, bread, and dried fruits.
Looking at the breakfast in front of her, Rosalie guessed few people in Strico had eaten the
breakfast prepared by Jonathan.
“Yesterday… Nothing happened after I fell asleep, right?” she couldn’t help but ask while eating the
oatmeal.
“I should be the one to ask that. I fell asleep earlier than you yesterday,” he said.
Rosalie fell silent.
“But when I woke up this morning, you…” Jonathan spoke hesitantly.
Rosalie hurriedly asked, “What about me?”
-“It’s nothing. You justy on the edge of the bed, facing my direction, as if you have been watching
me all night,” he said.
Rosalie’s face suddenly blushed, and she thought, “No way. Didn’t… I change my posture after
falling asleep?”
“Have you been looking at me since I fell asleep yesterday?” he asked.
Her face suddenly turned redder. “Come on, how am I going to answer that?” she thought.
Jonathan smiled and looked at Rosalie with his charming eyes. “So, were you really looking at me
the whole time?”
“No, I just watched for a while…” She stopped talking halfway and thought anxiously, “Oh God. Am I
a fool? How could I say that? Isn’t it telling him that I have indeed been looking at him the whole
time?”
As expected, after she said that, the charm in his eyes seemed to be stronger. Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
Rosalie continued to eat the oatmeal with her head down somewhat awkwardly. When she finished
a bowl of oatmeal, she said, “Don’t you have to go to work?”
After all, Jonathan was the CEO of Youngblood Group. She wondered if it would be alright for him to
spend time with her there. She hadn’t seemed to see him leave the house.
“I can also handle thepany matters here.” Jonathan said, “Since I said that I will stay here with
you until you fall in love with me, then I will definitely do it.”
Rosalie bit her lips slightly and said, “Actually, nothing will change even if you keep me here.”
“It’s not true. At least you’re not repulsed by me as you were at the beginning, right?” he said.
She choked.
“Actually… it’s not that you can no longer fall in love with me, but you are afraid I will hurt you again,
right?” Jonathan said softly.
Rosalie seemed to feel like she had been seen through. Perhaps, as he said, she was so afraid that
she no courage to love again.
longer had the
“Rosie, I won’t hurt you anymore!” Jonathan withdrew the charm in his eyes, and all that remained
was seriousness.
He stood up slowly and walked over to Rosalie. Then, he stared at her beautiful eyes and said,
“Don’t you believe me?”
“No one can guarantee the future,” she said.
“If you still don’t believe me, I can swear.”
“It’s not necessary…”
Before Rosalie could finish her words, Jonathan had already stooped down and knelt on one knee
before her, with his face solemn and sincere. “I, Jonathan Youngblood, swear that if I hurt you in the
future, I will pay you back ten times. If I make you shed tears, my heart will burn.”
Her eyes were full of shock. She never thought he would kneel in front of her like that, not to
mention say such words. Rosalie lowered her head and looked at him nkly while Jonathan gently
lowered his eyes and murmured, “You know what? I once said that in some tribes with ancient
customs, if a person is willing to kiss another person’s foot, it means surrender and willingness to
dedicate all one’s loyalty and soul to the other person.”
Her eyes widened, and his voice seemed erratic yet close to her ears..
“What is he talking about, and what is he going to do?” she wondered.
Rosalie’s heart was beating wildly. Then, she saw Jonathan gently take off the slipper on her right
foot, and almost in a próstration posture, he ced his lips on her foot.
“Rosie, I love you and can give you everything.”
His voice sounded in her ears, like the low hum of a cello, tinged with determination.
And her mind was nk.
Rosalie never thought that Jonathan would do such a thing. A man as proud as him had never been
like that.
And it made her feel at a loss. Her calmness and persistence seemed to be disrupted by him
completely.
Perhaps it had never been hard for her to fall in love with him again.
After all, he was very attractive to women. If a man like him loved a woman wholeheartedly, not
many people could insist on not loving him.
All that time, Rosalie had been reminding herself to forget the feeling of loving Jonathan and let go
of the past If she stopped loving, she would no longer suffer.
But then, she didn’t know what to do with the rtionship between Jonathan and her.
rtionship.
Rosalie walked to the lotus pond and looked at the lotus, but her heart was still in a mess. Just then,
the sound of footsteps came from behind her.
“Is Jonathan here?” she thought. The overwhelming feeling surged again, and she didn’t know how
to face him.
But when she heard the person behind her call her name, she was stunned. Rosalie turned around
quickly and looked at the person in disbelief.
It was not Jonathan’s voice but Calvin’s.
Calvin quickly walked toward her in a ck shirt and trousers.
