“No! No! One day, I will completely replace Rosalie. I will become the one standing beside him andlaughing to the end!” Fiona thought.
Rosalie took the bus and went back to her rental home. Her legs hurt so much that she almost couldn’tlift them took out two pieces of medicinal plasters from the medicine box and pasted them on herknees.
After a while, she felt heat on her knees, and the pain began to dissipate. Then she breathed a sigh ofrelief.
It was like she had fought a battle tonight. She was so tired that her back was soaked with sweat.
It seemed that her joints, even in summer, should not stay in an air-conditioned place for too long!
1. She
It was an accident to meet Calvin and Fiona tonight. When she left, Calvin grabbed her arm and askedJonathan, but she felt her heart hurt again.
If it were in the past, Jon would definitely accompany her to somewhere like a nightclub.
Kayden wouldn’t have the courage to let her stand for so long.
And if her knee was hurting, Jon would hold her carefully and rub her knees with his hand…
But these would never happen now!
The sweeter and warmer the past was, the more cruel it would make the present.
Her Jon was gone!
Rosalie had thought that what happened at the nightclub was over. However, when she came backfrom work the next day, she saw Calvin waiting for her at her front door.novelbin
Rosalie paused with surprise in her eyes.
“You live here now?” Calvin asked.
“Yeah,” she replied shortly. She didn’t understand why Calvin was there.
Since Calvin knew that this was her current residence, he must have checked some basic informationabout her.
“I’m curious why you’re renting a house in such a place. Don’t you live in the Youngblood residence?How could Jonathan let you live here?” he said.
Although he told himself not to care about her, after what happened at the nightclub, he askedsomeone to check on her recent situation. That was when he found out that she was working as anassistant in a law firm and living in such a messy place.
It seemed inconceivable to him. If it was her insistence to be an assistant at the law firm, how couldJonathan allow her to move out of the Youngblood residence and live in such a place?
Jonathan clearly cared about her very much. Even for her, he could fight against the Gunner family.Otherwise, how could he let go of her again and again?
This situation was completely beyond his expectations.
And he didn’t choose to ask Jonathan, but came to find her!
Calvin stared at Rosalie’s delicate face, which he once thought looked like the little girl he had beenlooking for if she had
grown up.
He wondered if he had come here just to look at her.
Then, Calvin laughed. He had no feelings for her anymore and only came here because he wascurious and wanted to make sure of something.
Rosalie bit her lip and met Calvin’s eyes. “Jonathan and I have broken up, so what’s strange about meliving here now?”
“Broken up?” Calvin was shocked.
There were a few things that surprised him, but now he was really surprised!
How could Jonathan, a man who didn’t even allow others to have the slightest of intentions towardRosalie, break up her?
with
Calvin had known Jonathan for many years. Naturally, he knew Jonathan was cold and neverinterested in women, with Rosalie being the only exception.
People like Jonathan didn’t fall in love often, but that love would last forever once they did.
But now, there was no forever. Instead, they had broken up.
“Why did you break up?” Calvin stepped toward her and asked.
“This is my personal business. I don’t think I have the obligation to tell you, Mr. Gunner.” Rosalie tooktwo steps back and widened the distance between them. “If there’s nothing else, I want to go back tomy house and rest.”
She took out the key, opened the door of her rental house, went straight into the house, and thenclosed the door.
Calvin was left alone, standing outside the house in a daze.
Calvin stared at the closed door. Somehow, his heart twitched painfully when he saw her calmexpression when she mentioned the breakup with Jonathan.
Her calmness seemed to be suppressing a lot of her pain.

His heart was beating faster than usual.

Alan didn’t expect Jonathan and Calvin to join him today.
“What brings you two here today? Don’t you two usually dislike coming here? How about I go findsomeone else, and we play a few rounds of poker?” Alan joked.
Calvin raised his eyes and looked at Jonathan, “I’m here for him.”
“Well, that’s smart of you to come here. Jonathan’s here today on a rare occasion.” As Alan spoke, hetook out the glasses and wine, poured each of them a glass of wine, and then picked up his own glassand sipped it lightly.
The wine was excellent and worth the 100 thousand dollars.
Jonathan looked at Calvin and asked, “Are you looking for me?”
“I just want to make sure. Are you and Rosalie really broken up?” Calvin asked.
In an instant, his eyes narrowed as a cold glint flashed across them.
Alan, who was tasting the wine, spat out half a mouthful of it before he could swallow it.
“Broken up?” Alan’s voice was high-pitched.
“So what if we are?” Jonathan’s cold voice sounded, and the air pressure in the whole room seemed tohave dropped several degrees
“I’m curious. How could you bear to break up with her?” Calvin said.
Jonathan’s expression was already cold. “If it weren’t for you, we might still be together!” he thought.
“What the hell do you know?” Jonathan said coldly.
Calvin smiled lightly. “I don’t, and that’s why I asked.”
But the next moment, Jonathan, who had been sitting on the couch, suddenly got up and grabbedCalvin’s neck. He pressed Calvin directly to the corner of the wall with his eyes full of anger. “What thehell do you know?”
