The Ceo’s Convict Wife

Chapter 776

“I don’t know how I fell in love with you back then, but why do you think I would fall in love with you now?” Jonathan’s voice unconsciously rose, seemingly an attempt to mask the embarrassment that had crept over him.

Jonathan’s elevated tone stirred Jennifer, who had been dozing on his back.

Jennifer blinked sleepily, her eyes half-open. “Daddy, I’m still sleepy. Please don’t wake me up!” With that, she planted a kiss on Jonathan’s cheek as if to soothe him.

Jonathan’s body stiffened, and an uncomfortable sensation coursed through him.

“All right, Jen, Mommy will take you to another room to rest. Daddy has to work.” Rosalie took a couple of steps closer.

Jennifer readily agreed, her tiny arms outstretched.

Rosalie scooped Jennifer from Jonathan’s arms, and Jennifer settled on Rosalie’s back, sliding back into slumber.

With Jennifer’s absence, Jonathan felt an unexpected void in his arms. He had wished for Jennifer to be taken away earlier, but when it happened, he found himself inexplicably disheartened.

“What’s come over me today? Why am I acting so strangely?”

His emotions had been stirred up by the mother-daughter duo in front of him.

“Well, I’ll leave you to your work for now,” Rosalie said in hushed tones, taking care not to wake their daughter.

Just as she turned to go, she paused and looked back at Jonathan. “Oh, by the way, Jon, I’m still your wife, right? I mean, I’m very much alive, so technically, we’re still married. It’s only natural for me to hope you’ll fall in love with me again, isn’t it?”

With those words, she left the study, cradling their sleeping daughter in her arms, not waiting for his response.

Jonathan pursed his lips, gazing at the door in contemplation. “It’s only natural? Am I being taken for granted by the woman who left me five years ago? But why does it make me feel so strangely content to hear her say that? It’s peculiar.” Jonathan lowered his head, studying his own hands. Even if he had tried to forget her, it seemed his body still held onto those memories. Faced with her, his reactions were undeniably unpredictable.
