The Ceo’s Convict Wife

Chapter 171

Rosalie’s first thought was that Jonathan would target the diner. After all, a new company with a promising future was alınost brought down to the point of closure by his power, let alone a diner like this..

“I… I haven’t thought about that before,” she muttered. She didn’t want Amelia’s diner to get into trouble because of her. Rosalie could see that Amelia was a good person, but she had a deaf son, so the diner owner probably had a high financial burden.

“If you haven’t thought about it before, that’s good. Then, you just stay here,” Jonathan said with a smile.

Rosalie pursed her lips and said nothing.

Jonathan held Rosalie’s hands and put her palms on his cheeks. “Since you want to find a job yourself, I’ll let you. However, no matter how late you return every night, you must say goodnight to me, okay?”

She was stunned and didn’t expect him to make such a request.

“Say goodnight to him?” she thought. That was what she used to say to him every night when they were at the rental home. That was because he was family then, someone she could rely on.

But now… Was he and her still considered family?

As his cheeks gently rubbed against her palms, he closed his eyes gently, and the corner of his lips rose as if it were extremely comfortable.

However, she felt her palm getting hotter and hotter.

The next day, Rosalie came to the diner with her ID card as agreed. Amelia registered Rosalie and then told her she had been assigned an electric scooter. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

“You can also ride this electric scooter when you come to work. By the way, do you know how to ride it?” Amelia suddenly thought of this question.

“Yes, I know, but I haven’t ridden one for several years. I should be able to get the feel of it after practicing later,” Rosalie replied honestly.

Amelia said, “Then you can practice later. Well, you know you had a car accident before. Please be careful when you ride the electric scooter. Don’t be tempted to speed just to deliver takeaways faster. I’d rather you go slow for your own safety and others.”

Rosalie acknowledged that by saying to Amelia, “Okay, I know. I’ll be careful. I won’t speed”

Amelia smiled. “All right then, that is all. Your salary will be paid on the 15th of each month, and I’ll also pay the basic social insurance for you. If you have any questions, please ask me.”

“Okay.” Rosalie suddenly felt something hugging her leg.

She looked down and saw a young, pretty face.

Rosalie remembered Amelia called this child “Aiden” yesterday.

“Aiden, come here, Amelia said while gesturing to the little boy.

Despite that, the little boy still hugged Rosalie’s legs and looked up at Rosalie curiously, ignoring his mother.

Amelia stepped forward and planned to pull his son away.

However, when she tugged at her son, the boy didn’t go back into his mother’s arms as he did yesterday. Instead, he held Rosalie’s leg even tighter.

Amelia apologized, “Sorry, Aiden is not like this normally. He seems to like you a lot.”

“It doesn’t matter. I also like Aiden.” As Rosalie spoke, she picked up the little boy.

The little boy didn’t struggle at this moment. He obediently let Rosalie hold him in her arms and even grinned at her. From his smile, it seemed like he was a little bashful but also tried to please her. Rosalie felt a little sad for him. “Hello, Aiden,’ she said before raising her hand and patting his head.

Unfortunately, the little boy couldn’t hear her voice at all. He didn’t know what she was saying, so he just looked at her in confusion.

Meanwhile, Amelia, who was standing beside them, looked at the scene with her son and Rosalie. A hint of pain flashed dirough her eyes. “Did Aiden… think of Rosalie as that person? That’s why he’s so close to her. Alas… he could never see that person again, Amelia thought.

“Ms. Haab, can you teach me some sign language in the future? I want to communicate with Aiden, even if it’s some basic ones.” Rosalie asked as she looked at Amelia.

Amelia came back to her senses and hurriedly answered, “Okay. Of course.”

Rosalie interacted with the little boy for a while. However, their interaction was not smooth because she couldn’t use sign language. Therefore, Rosalie asked Amelia to help with sign language beside her.

At noon, Rosalie began to deliver the takeouts.

Since she took time to practice riding the electric scooter before, she had no problem. Riding the electric scooter was like riding a bicycle. Once one learned how to, even if one hadn’t ridden one for

several years, one could pick it up quickly.

Nevertheless, when Rosalie did her deliveries, she tried her best to control the speed and ride slowly to adapt.

There were more take-out orders at the diner at noon, and after 1:30 p.m., the number of take-out orders decreased.

Rosalie was busy until about 2 p.m. Only then did she finally have free time for lunch.

“Are you tired?” Amelia asked.

“I’m okay.” Rosalie smiled and thought, “It’s not easy for me to make money now.”

“We could get quite busy here sometimes, so you might have to have your meals a little later, Amelia explained. In fact, she was the same as Rosalie. She could only have her meal until she was free.

Looking at the little boy who was eating fruit, Rosalie asked, “By the way, how old is Aiden? Is he going to kindergarten?”

Amelia smiled bitterly. “Originally, he could attend this year, but he can’t hear. Moreover, the kindergarten didn’t want to accept deaf children like him. Although there are kindergartens for special needs children, the tuition is expensive, and they need to be equipped with cochlear implants. Moreover, they need to be accompanied by parents, too. I can’t do anything about it in my situation.”

“Is Aiden’s cochlear implant surgery not done yet?” Only then did Rosalie realize that she didn’t see the little boy wear a cochlear implant on his ear.

“I’m saving money. If I save for another two to three months, it will be enough for him to get cochlear implants,” Amelia said. It seemed as if this topic gave her some hope. Her face glowed like it was full of

maternal love, and she looked at her son warmly. “When the cochlear implant is installed, Aiden can hear, and then he can learn to speak.”

Rosalie could see that Amelia loved Aiden very much. Although Amelia was the proprietress of a diner, she was wearing cheap old clothes without any jewelry, and her hair was tied simply.
