The Ceo’s Convict Wife

Chapter 484

Rosalie felt her breath hitch. When she first met him, he appeared gentle and meticulous and was unfazed by the fact that she had been in prison in the past. She initially considered him a good person, but reality proved otherwise. He could be heartless, a schemer, a manipulator, a strategist, and a violent person with blood on his hands, but he could never be a good person.

“Tell me. What will you do if I bring Lucas into this?” Jonathan asked, trying to test her limits.

With her beautiful eyes, Rosalie looked right at Jonathan with firm determination in her gaze. “Don’t hurt Lucas. Otherwise, I will never forgive you!”

She was the only one who still could threaten him at the moment.

His expression darkened even more. “It’s merely Lucas, but you react so strongly at the possibility of him getting harmed. Are you still going to deny that you care about him?”

Rosalie contemplated this earnestly and wondered, “Do I care about Lucas? I don’t feel anything special for him. It’s his simplicity and ordinary nature that makes me wish for his safety. The more I experience dark times, the more I believe that his simplicity and ordinary nature are the most valuable qualities one can possess.”

“I just don’t want anyone innocent to be implicated because of me. I don’t want to feel guilty.” Rosalie tried to speak as casually as she could.

Jonathan pondered for a moment and then chuckled. “It seems that to avoid making you feel guilty or even thinking about Lucas constantly, I really can’t do anything to him. However…”

He then drawled out his words slowly. “You care about Lillian, Amelia, and her son. Now, you are even concerned about Lucas. But what about me? Where do I rank in your heart? Will you ever protect me like this?”

“You’re an exceptional and powerful person, Mr. Youngblood. You don’t require my protection,” Rosalie responded.

“What if I want you to protect me?” Jonathan said. “You told me before that you would protect me.”

Rosalie’s eyelashes quivered, and she lowered her gaze slowly. She smiled self-deprecatingly and said, “However, you’ve witnessed it as well. I can’t even protect myself. Otherwise, I won’t be your Rosie again now.”

After she finished speaking, Rosalie felt his body stiffen for a moment. Then, his arms were wrapped around her even more tightly to the point where she almost could not breathe:
