Chapter 629
Rosalie once felt that her father-in-law should not have abandoned such a young child and chosendeath because of lost love.
However, she figured he must once have loved his son deeply. Otherwise, now that so many years hadpassed, Jonathan wouldn’t still miss his father like this.
“I will try my best to become a good wife and mother, and I’ll handle this marriage well,” she saidseriously, and she thought the same in her heart.
Now that she had chosen this path, she wanted to do it justice. Even if the marriage between her andJonathan was held together by just the children, she still hoped that, at the very least, the childrenwould live in a harmonious family rather than a family full of disputes and resentment.
When she finished speaking, she turned around and found that Jonathan was looking at her. His darkeyes seemed to reflect the dim light that surrounded them.
“What I just said is… true.” Facing Jonathan’s gaze, Rosalie was a little uncomfortable.
“Then would you swear on it?” Jonathan uttered slowly. His cold voice sounded a little solemn in thequiet ancestral hall.
“Swear on it?” Rosalie was stunned.
“Yes, swear in front of my father’s photo that you will never leave me again! Swear that you’ll be by myside till the end of your life!” Jonathan’s voice poured into Rosalie’s ears like a strong stream, pressingon
her heart.
The vow was much too heavy.
Rosalie pursed her lips and kept silent.
Jonathan chuckled lightly. There was a hint of irony in his laughter. “Let’s go back to the house.” Even ifRosalie didn’t want to swear on it, it wouldn’t matter. After all, in this lifetime, Jonathan would never lether leave his side again.
However, when Jonathan turned around and was about to leave, Rosalie’s voice sounded from behindhim. “I swear!”
Jonathan’s footsteps suddenly halted, and he looked back rather incredulously. He saw Rosalie’sslender figure facing the photo, while Rosalie was saying clearly, “From now on, unless Jon wants toend this marriage, I shall never leave him. For the rest of my life till the day of my death, I will be withhim. Dad, please be our witness!”
Rosalie’s voice was gentle but firm. Her beautiful profile, vaguely illuminated by the dim light, lookedextremely attractive.
Then Rosalie turned her head and looked at Jonathan, smiling slightly. “Now, will you believe what Isaid?”
Jonathan felt as though a ripple was spreading across his heart.
He thought that if he used their children Lillian’s treatment to force Rosalie to marry him, Rosalie wouldbe reluctant. She might even be sad or cry miserably. Even worse, Rosalie would be resentful towardhim.
Jonathan had considered all kinds of possibilities and even told himself that he didn’t have to careabout Rosalie’s reaction. All he wanted was just to bind her to him.
However, Jonathan didn’t expect that Rosalie would face their marriage with such an attitude. Whenshe told Calvin that she was doing it willingly, she knew that Jonathan, who was standing beside her,must have been filled with a sudden burst of joy.
But at that time, Jonathan had told himself not to easily believe what Rosalie said. If he really believedRosalie’s words, maybe in the end, all he would get would be an overwhelming disappointment.novelbin
Without expectation, Jonathan would not be disappointed.

Now, however, as Rosalie looked at Jonathan firmly and smiled softly, she looked quiet and gentle. Hefelt as though he was looking at the version of her from long ago, the one that would take him seriously,love him, and say that she wanted to protect him.
Rosalie, whom Jonathan affectionately called “Rosalie,” was also the first woman Jonathan fell in lovewith. He wondered, “So, do I continue to let myself sink further into this? Do I give her everything,including all my trust and dignity?”
Jonathan pursed his thin lips and approached Rosalie step by step, gazing at her steadily with his dark
eyes.
Rosalie didn’t avoid Jonathan’s gaze but looked straight at him.
Finally, Jonathan raised his hands and took Rosalie in his embrace. “Rosalie, I will trust you once more.Just once more.”
He believed that she would really live up to what she had just sworn and that she would do as shepromised.
In fact… it was not so much that he believed her as he wanted to believe her. He truly wanted what shejust said to become reality.
Rosalie stayed within Jonathan’s embrace, feeling his familiar vibe. She wondered, “If he’s willing totrust me, does that mean our marriage can continue smoothly? No matter how much trust he has in menow, at least, he is willing to trust me for the time being, and that should be a good thing!”
Alan sent Calvin back to his mansion, but Calvin didn’t want to enter it. Instead, he stood at theentrance of the mansion, lost in his thoughts.
Alan had no choice but to stand with him.
Calvin fixed his dark eyes on the spot he was standing on. It was the same spot where Rosalie stoodthe other day.
At this moment, Calvin felt an indescribable pain in his heart.
He never expected so many things to happen that day when he did not get out of the car.
“It was Rosalie, the little girl who saved me when I was little! I couldn’t have been wrong. I’m sure of it!”he thought.
He had recognized her first based on his intuition. However, back then, he didn’t believe his intuition.He only believed some superficial evidence and missed the chance just like this.
“Calvin, how much longer are you going to stand here?” Alan couldn’t help but ask.
“You can leave now. I want to stand here for a night,” said Calvin in a low voice.
“For a night?” Alan was startled. “You haven’t recovered yet, and you want to stand here all night? Doyou not want to live anymore?”
However, Calvin didn’t answer. His slender figure was still standing there without moving.
Alan couldn’t help but sigh in his heart, knowing what happened today had a great impact on Calvin.
He knew that Calvin was now just tormenting himself.
Just as Alan deliberated whether to knock out his friend and drag him into the mansion, Calvinsuddenly asked the security guard beside him, “Tell me what she said and did the night she stoodhere.”
The security guard instantly knew who Calvin meant. After all, only one woman had stood here for thewhole night. She didn’t leave until dawn, having been avoided by Calvin.
“That woman just stood there. She didn’t find a place to sit down or rest, and she didn’t buy anything toeat or drink. Instead, she made several phone calls, seeming as though she was asking about a loan.But when she hung up the phone in the end, her expression seemed quite disappointed,” the securityguard said.
