The Ceo’s Convict Wife

Chapter 554

When Jonathan was asleep, it was as though his sharp edges had all disappeared. He didn’t give off a sense of oppression. Instead, he looked like a beautiful angel, making people inevitably wish to draw close to him.

However, his brows were still creased, making him look fragile.

“Fragile?” Rosalie exclaimed inwardly.

Rosalie then burst into laughter. Just as she was about to wiggle out of his arms, his hand fumbled in her direction in a seemingly unconscious manner. He grabbed the four fingers of her right hand.

Stunned, Rosalie wanted to pull her fingers out of his hand, but it only made him grip them tighter. It was like he desperately wanted to protect something precious in his hand and refused to let go.

Words eluded her, and Rosalie mused to herself, “After such a long time, I still can’t get myself out of here. Am I really going to have to sleep with him on this bed for a night?”

She tried a few more times. Still, she couldn’t pull her hand out of his. At the end of it, she wondered whether he was truly asleep.

However, he never opened his eyes or did anything else.

Therefore, she could only comfort herself by thinking, “It’s not like I’ve never slept in the same bed with him before.”

After hesitating briefly, Rosalie snagged the quilt from the side and draped it over them both. Then, she tried to put as much distance between them as possible, huddling against the edge of the other side of the bed.

She had thought it would be difficult for her to fall asleep in the same bed with Jonathan, but in reality, she fell asleep shortly after and slept until the next morning.

When she opened her bleary eyes, it took her a while to adapt to the glaring sunshine.

“What time is it now? Where am I?” Rosalie wondered soundlessly. She stared at the unfamiliar ceiling in a daze and tried to raise her hand to rub her eyes out of habit.

All of a sudden, she stiffened, sensing that the fingers of her right hand were in someone’s grasp at that moment. As soon as she turned her head, Jonathan’s face entered her line of sight, and the memory of last night flooded her mind.

“I… I spent the entire night here!” she shrieked internally.

Rosalie slowly sat up, sensing that her right hand in Jonathan’s grasp had already gone numb.
