Chapter 27


    Rosalind thought, “That’s impossible.”


    “Jonas, stop joking. It’s not funny at all.”


    Rosalind looked serious and said that in a cold tone.


    “I’m not kidding. I am serious. I have been staying at home and thinking about it these days, I told


    myself shouldn’t fall in love with you, but my heart told me differently. I like you, and my feelings will not


    change because of your divorce or children.”


    “Why? What do you like about me? I change


    Jonas” sudden affectionate confession made Rosalind feel a little embarrassed, especially when she


    saw the seriousness and sincerity in his eyes.


    Rosalind didn’t know how to deal with it. She just wanted to nun away


    “There is no mason. I just like you wholeheartedly Does it ever need a reason to bin love?”


    “Does it ever need a reason to fall in love?”


    Rosalind repeated this sentence silently.


    She thought, “Yeah. Does it ever need a reason? Of course not.”


    Human beings were such strange creatures. They knew they shouldn’t fall for the wrong person, but


    they couldn’t control themselves.


    Rosalind fell in love with Leonardo in the same way.


    But the reality taught Rosalind that an irrational love would not yield good results, just like she and


    Lennardn.


    Time would erode all love, and reality would slowly diminish it bit by bit, leaving only unwillingness and


    hatred behind.


    Jonas was a good person. He came from a wealthy family, looked good, and was also the best friend of


    Damian.


    Rosalind doesn’t want things to end up like what with her and Leonardo. They can’t be lovers anymore,


    nor even friends.


    Besides, Rasalind only wanted to take care of the two children and find the truth about what happened


    five years ago. She didn’t want to be in a rtionship or get married.


    “Jonas, you are a good person, but I can’t ept your love. Your feelings now are impulsive and


    irrational. You will regret it in the future. I don’t want us to be strangers in the future.”


    Jonas felt disappointed again.


    He had already thought it through. Why didn’t Rosalind believe what he said was true?


    Besides, he was put in a friend zone.


    It was the first time that Jonas had been put in a friend zone by a woman for so many years, and this


    woman was the only one he liked.


    Maybe this was Jonas’ reenbution. He used to refuse other women in this way, but now he was


    rejected by Rosalind in the same way.


    But Jonas didn’t want to give up.


    Since Rosalind didn’t want to be in a rtionship now, he could only win her heart in the long run,


    “Don’t be so nervous. I just want you to know my feelings, I don’t want to force you into a rtionship.


    Maybe you are right. We haven’t known each other for a long time, and you don’t know me very well.


    It’s reasonable that you are afraid that I would make the wrong decision on impulse. Let’s put it aside


    and think about it. I hope we are still friends.”


    Hearing Jonas’ words, Rosand slowly rxed,


    “Of course, you are roy brother’s friend, so you are my friend?”


    “Okay. But it really breaks my heart. I’ve never been rejected before. If it spreads out, I will be so


    embarrassed. Don’t tell Damian about this, or he willugh at me.”


    Jonas deliberately made a funny look like he was hurt, which made Rosalind let her guard down.


    Rosalind burst intoughter


    “Okay, I won’t tell him.”


    It was gettingte. Rosalind pointed to the door of the car, and Jonas reluctantly opened it and let her


    pet out.


    As Rosalind was about to leave for the Brooks Group, Jonas shouted at her and stopped her again.


    “Hey, my dear friend, you refused me so cruelly. At least you could treat me to dinner to cheer me up”


    Seeing Jonas’ aggrieved and pitiful look, Rosalind couldn’t bear to refuse him again.


    “Okay, I’ll treat you to a fancy meal tonight”


    17:13


    Chapte 27


    “Deal!” Jonas shouted happily.


    Seeing Jonas smiling Rosalind felt much better. She smiled and waved her hand at Jonas and then


    walked into the gate of Brooks Group.


    Rosalind didn’t see that the smile on Jonas” Lice was gradually reced by loneliness and bittemess


    aher she walked into the Brooks Group


    But neither of them noticed that across several parking spaces, there was a ck Bentley parked, and


    inside sat Leonardo, who had just arrived at the


    Leonardo saw Rosalind getting out of Jonas car, chatting andughing with him before saying gonilliye


    and heading toward the Brooks Group


    Leonarde clenched his fists and looked extremely furious.


    Leonarde thought, “Why did Rosalind get out of Jonas’ car in the early morning? Did they spend the


    night together? How far have they progressed? Have they already had sex?”


    Thinking of this, Leonardo became even angrier.


    Jacob was sitting in front of Leenanin. He was so frightened by the tension in the car that he didn’t dare


    to say a word or even swallow at ease.


    Jacob didn’t know what was wrong with Leonardo. He didn’t think that he had done anything wrong.


    But Leonardo did not get out of the car and refused to speak. He just sat there and got more and more


    fungus.

    Jacob felt that if this continued, he would be scared to death by Leonarda


    “Mr. Brooks, it’s.. ‘s gettingte.


    After a while, seeing that Leonardo hadn’t moved yet, Jacob whispered to him at the risk of being fired


    Jacob forced himself to calm down but kept swallowing,


    Hearing this, Leonardo came back to his senses and pushed open the door before heading for the


    company.


    On the way, people wanted to greet Leonardo, but when they saw his dark tice and chilly atmosphere,


    they didn’t dare to step forward.


    Many people were confused about this and gathered amund te discuss it.


    “What’s wrong with Mr. Brooks? Did anyone offend him this morning?”


    “I don’t know. Maybe he quarreled with his wife. Otherwise, what could possibly annoy him in the


    morning?”


    “Maybe you’re right. I heard that Mr. Brooks and Ms. York had a fight yesterday, so perhaps Ms. York


    did’t allow him to sleep with her at night.


    “No way, I don’t think Ms. York danes to kick Mr. Brooks out of bed! She doesn’t look that fence!


    “Who knows? Although Ms. York always similes kindly, she must have something up her sleeve to give


    birth to a child for Mr. Brooks before they even get married, I heard that Mr. Brooks divorced his ex wife


    because of Ms. York. You should never underestimate her”


    “You’re right. Forget it. It’s CEO’s family business. We should keep our mouths shut. If someore hears


    us, we’re done.”
