The Ceo’s Convict Wife

Chapter 526

A smile spread across Rosalie’s face. Suddenly, she glided her fingers, gently stroking Jonathan’s eyebrows.

His eyelashes quivered ever so slightly, but he remained still. His hand, which had been pressed against the back of hers, gradually slackened.

Her fingers traced a trail from his eyebrows and eyes to the bridge of his nose, then finally rested on his lips.

His lips were beautifully thin, giving him a slightly cold, sexy, and attractive aura. When his lips curved into a smile, they easily tugged at her heartstrings.

“You mentioned your fear of repeating your father’s mistakes and losing control of your destiny. Am I right to interpret this as your fear that I might betray your love, just as your mother betrayed your father’s feelings?” Her voice was soft, akin to a soothing violin. There was no trace of resentment or anger in her tone. She spoke as if stating a fact, her voice carrying a sense of peacefulness, akin to the calm after a storm.

However, the calmness in her voice made him frown.

The last time, in her rental room, she had been similarly calm, and it had made him uneasy.

“Even though I professed my love for you and vowed never to leave your side, despite your repeated assurances that you believed me, deep down, you never truly trusted my words. That’s why you chose to end our relationship, isn’t it?” she said.

The frown on his forehead deepened further.

“Even though you keep saying that you love me and want to be with me, it’s rooted in your belief that I will eventually betray you, just like your mother betrayed your father when you claimed you’d give your life for me,” she continued.

Jonathan’s eyes flickered with a hint of inner conflict. “Does it mean that if I genuinely believe in you, you will love me and come back to me?” he asked.

Rosalie replied softly, “Why do you assume I will love you again just because you believe in me? Maybe you believe în me now, but in the future, your faith might waver. Besides…”

She withdrew her hand and pointed gently to her heart’s location. “I used to love you with all my heart, but now I don’t”

His pupils suddenly contracted, and his face turned gaunt when he heard that.
