Chapter 629


    Rosalie once felt that her father-inw should not have abandoned such a young child and chosen


    death because of lost love.


    However, she figured he must once have loved his son deeply. Otherwise, now that so many years


    had passed, Jonathan wouldn’t still miss his father like this.


    “I will try my best to be a good wife and mother, and I’ll handle this marriage well,” she said


    seriously, and she thought the same in her heart.


    Now that she had chosen this path, she wanted to do it justice. Even if the marriage between her


    and Jonathan was held together by just the children, she still hoped that, at the very least, the


    children would live in a harmonious family rather than a family full of disputes and resentment.


    When she finished speaking, she turned around and found that Jonathan was looking at her. His


    dark eyes seemed to reflect the dim light that surrounded them.


    “What I just said is… true.” Facing Jonathan’s gaze, Rosalie was a little ufortable.


    “Then would you swear on it?” Jonathan uttered slowly. His cold voice sounded a little solemn in the


    quiet ancestral hall.


    “Swear on it?” Rosalie was stunned.


    “Yes, swear in front of my father’s photo that you will never leave me again! Swear that you’ll be by


    my side till the end of your life!” Jonathan’s voice poured into Rosalie’s ears like a strong stream,


    pressing on


    her heart.


    The vow was much too heavy.


    Rosalie pursed her lips and kept silent.


    Jonathan chuckled lightly. There was a hint of irony in hisughter. “Let’s go back to the house.”


    Even if Rosalie didn’t want to swear on it, it wouldn’t matter. After all, in this lifetime, Jonathan would


    never let her leave his side again.

    However, when Jonathan turned around and was about to leave, Rosalie’s voice sounded from


    behind him. “I swear!”


    Jonathan’s footsteps suddenly halted, and he looked back rather incredulously. He saw Rosalie’s


    slender figure facing the photo, while Rosalie was saying clearly, “From now on, unless Jon wants


    to end this marriage, I shall never leave him. For the rest of my life till the day of my death, I will be


    with him. Dad, please be our witness!”


    Rosalie’s voice was gentle but firm. Her beautiful profile, vaguely illuminated by the dim light, looked


    extremely attractive.


    Then Rosalie turned her head and looked at Jonathan, smiling slightly. “Now, will you believe what I


    said?”


    Jonathan felt as though a ripple was spreading across his heart.


    He thought that if he used their children Lillian’s treatment to force Rosalie to marry him, Rosalie


    would be reluctant. She might even be sad or cry miserably. Even worse, Rosalie would be resentful


    toward him.


    Jonathan had considered all kinds of possibilities and even told himself that he didn’t have to care


    about Rosalie’s reaction. All he wanted was just to bind her to him.


    However, Jonathan didn’t expect that Rosalie would face their marriage with such an attitude. When


    she told Calvin that she was doing it willingly, she knew that Jonathan, who was standing beside


    her, must have been filled with a sudden burst of joy.


    But at that time, Jonathan had told himself not to easily believe what Rosalie said. If he really


    believed Rosalie’s words, maybe in the end, all he would get would be an overwhelming


    disappointment.


    Without expectation, Jonathan would not be disappointed.

    Now, however, as Rosalie looked at Jonathan firmly and smiled softly, she looked quiet and gentle.


    He felt as though he was looking at the version of her from long ago, the one that would take him


    seriously, love him, and say that she wanted to protect him.


    Rosalie, whom Jonathan affectionately called “Rosalie,” was also the first woman Jonathan fell in


    love with. He wondered, “So, do I continue to let myself sink further into this? Do I give her


    everything, including all my trust and dignity?”


    Jonathan pursed his thin lips and approached Rosalie step by step, gazing at her steadily with his


    dark


    eyes.


    Rosalie didn’t avoid Jonathan’s gaze but looked straight at him.


    Finally, Jonathan raised his hands and took Rosalie in his embrace. “Rosalie, I will trust you once


    more. Just once more.”


    He believed that she would really live up to what she had just sworn and that she would do as she


    promised.


    In fact… it was not so much that he believed her as he wanted to believe her. He truly wanted what


    she just said to be reality.


    Rosalie stayed within Jonathan’s embrace, feeling his familiar vibe. She wondered, “If he’s willing to


    trust me, does that mean our marriage can continue smoothly? No matter how much trust he has in


    me now, at least, he is willing to trust me for the time being, and that should be a good thing!”


    n sent Calvin back to his mansion, but Calvin didn’t want to enter it. Instead, he stood at the


    entrance of the mansion, lost in his thoughts.


    n had no choice but to stand with him.


    Calvin fixed his dark eyes on the spot he was standing on. It was the same spot where Rosalie


    stood the other day.


    At this moment, Calvin felt an indescribable pain in his heart.


    He never expected so many things to happen that day when he did not get out of the car.


    “It was Rosalie, the little girl who saved me when I was little! I couldn’t have been wrong. I’m sure of


    it!” he thought.


    He had recognized her first based on his intuition. However, back then, he didn’t believe his


    intuition. He only believed some superficial evidence and missed the chance just like this.


    “Calvin, how much longer are you going to stand here?” n couldn’t help but ask.


    “You can leave now. I want to stand here for a night,” said Calvin in a low voice.


    “For a night?” n was startled. “You haven’t recovered yet, and you want to stand here all night?


    Do you not want to live anymore?”


    However, Calvin didn’t answer. His slender figure was still standing there without moving.


    n couldn’t help but sigh in his heart, knowing what happened today had a great impact on


    Calvin.


    He knew that Calvin was now just tormenting himself.


    Just as n deliberated whether to knock out his friend and drag him into the mansion, Calvin


    suddenly asked the security guard beside him, “Tell me what she said and did the night she stood


    here.”


    The security guard instantly knew who Calvin meant. After all, only one woman had stood here for


    the whole night. She didn’t leave until dawn, having been avoided by Calvin.


    “That woman just stood there. She didn’t find a ce to sit down or rest, and she didn’t buy


    anything to eat or drink. Instead, she made several phone calls, seeming as though she was asking


    about a loan. But when she hung up the phone in the end, her expression seemed quite


    disappointed,” the security guard said.
