The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike

Chapter 849

Zachary’s pupils suddenly contracted. “You… Did you hear what I said to her?”

Jonathan remained indifferent. “So what if I did? Zachary, if you dare to appear in front of her again, saying such

meaningless words or trying to get involved with her, I will make you suffer a hundredfold or a thousandfold more

than you are suffering now.”

Jonathan’s voice was clear and cold. It was also deep, which sounded magnetic and pleasant. However, at that

moment, to Zendaya, it sounded like the voice of a merciless Hades.

Zendaya was pale with fear. Suddenly, Zachary, who had been warned, smiled. “So, Jonathan, were you nearby

earlier? But you didn’t show up when you saw me talking to Rosalie. Why didn’t you appear? What were you

worried about? Or are you… afraid of something?”

Jonathan’s gaze gradually grew colder.

“What, are you afraid that I might rekindle the old flames with her?”

The next moment, Zachary’s collar was violently grabbed by Jonathan, choking him almost to the point of gasping

for breath.

“Rekindle old flames? With you?” Jonathan sneered, but his anger was getting more intense. “Zachary, if you hadn’t

saved Rosalie’s life, do you think you could stand before me and talk to me like this?”

Zachary’s breathing became more and more difficult. He instinctively struggled, but his efforts were in vain.

Just when he thought he might be choked to death by his collar, the grip suddenly loosened, and he fell to the

ground, coughing uncontrollably and gasping for air.

At that moment, he had felt the fear of death.

Jonathan looked condescendingly at Zachary and warned, “You better not challenge my limits, Zachary. I can make

you die with ease.”

After saying that, he turned and left. On the other hand, the bodyguards confiscated Zachary’s memory card from

his phone before leaving with Jonathan.

Zendaya finally regained her freedom and limped toward Zachary. “Zach, are you all right? How could Jonathan do

that? How could he be so unscrupulous?”

Zachary smiled wryly. “Do you still have doubts about that? Besides, didn’t you act recklessly before the fall of the

Xanthos family, too?”

Upon hearing that, Zendaya’s expression changed as she bit her lip. “So, will you just let this go? Your hand… You

got injured while trying to save Rosalie…”

“She has helped pay off Mom’s medical expenses. Even if I saved her life, she has already repaid it. In the future,

don’t say such things, and don’t have any intentions toward her.” Zachary stood up and told Zendaya. “If you anger

Jonathan, you won’t be able to handle the consequences.”

“Well, Zach, didn’t you intentionally provoke Jonathan earlier?” Zendaya said, somewhat annoyed.

Zachary’s eyes dimmed. He had indeed spoken impulsively earlier. That was why he was almost choked to death.

However, one thing was sure. Jonathan was uneasy earlier because of Rosalie. Otherwise, there would be no reason

for him to be provoked so easily by his words.

No one could have imagined that a man like Jonathan would feel so troubled because of a woman.

He thought, “Jonathan… Just how much does he love Rosalie?”

Perhaps this was something he could never surpass.

After Rosalie returned to the Youngblood residence, she changed her clothes in the bedroom and planned to pick up

her two kids from kindergarten later. Just then, Jonathan came back earlier than expected.

“Why are you back so early?” Rosalie asked in surprise as she put on her shirt.

“There wasn’t much work at the company today, so I came back earlier,” Jonathan said, approaching her and

helping her fasten the buttons on her shirt. “Let me help you with these.”

Her face blushed slightly at his proximity. She was only wearing her underwear inside her shirt. Although he had

often helped her change clothes lately, she couldn’t help but blush every time.

However, he seemed mesmerized by the blush that appeared on her face. He also liked the fact that she was

blushing due to him.

His slender fingers buttoned her shirt one by one as he asked nonchalantly, “Where have you been today?”

“I went to the hospital,” Rosalie replied. “I went to see Zachary’s mother,

who was hospitalized. She has kidney disease and owes over 4,000 dollars in medical expenses. The follow-up

treatment will cost around 20,000 dollars. I transferred money into her health insurance account.” “Is that so?”

Jonathan lowered his eyes slightly as he continued to button up her shirt.

“Sorry, I should have discussed this with you first, but before I went to the hospital, I hadn’t decided whether to pay

for her medical expenses,” Rosalie said. She had only decided after seeing Olivia.

She wouldn’t have paid the medical expenses if Olivia had still held a deep grudge against her. However, Olivia only

pleaded for the sake of her children.

Although Rosalie didn’t like Olivia very much, she thought of her

children. Now that she had children of her own, she would sacrifice her own life if necessary.

Jonathan smiled gently. “No need to apologize for this. Everything in the Youngblood family belongs to you, and your

decisions are mine.”

Rosalie felt relieved to hear that.

“What happened next? Did you run into Zachary at the hospital?” Jonathan pretended to ask casually.

“I did,” Rosalie replied. “We talked for a bit. I’ll consider paying the medical expenses this time to repay Zachary for

saving my life. We don’t owe each other anything anymore.”

His fingers slightly paused, and he bent down, burying his face in her neck.

“What’s wrong?” She was confused.

“I was just thinking, how nice it would be if I were the one who saved you that day,” he murmured. “If I had been by

your side that day, I would have done everything to save you and ensure you suffered no harm.”

For a moment, Rosalie had a vivid image in her mind. In the image, they -were by the seaside, and he was

crouched down, his fingers seemingly

pressing something. Then, he looked at her cautiously, saying, “Don’t be afraid, Rosie. Everything will be fine. I

won’t let anything bad happen to you.”

The scene passed by in an instant. The voice and that sentence lingered in her ears.

She thought, “What’s going on? What was that? The seaside? Was it the

memory of the fall into the sea? That’s right, Carlos had previously mentioned that at the time, Jon had activated a

device set up by Mr. Youngblood, intending to sacrifice himself to save me!”
