Chapter 164
With so many people around, especially with Rosalie present, Roseanne couldn’t let Rosalie see her make a fool of herself.
Thinking this, she created some distance between herself and Julian, forced a smile, and naturally began talking to the others as if nothing had happened.
At this moment, Julian asked the waiter to bring him a pack of cigarettes, frowned in irritation, and stood up. “I’m going to have a smoke.”
Without waiting for their response, he left.
“When did Julian start smoking? Didn’t he used to dislike it?” asked Roseanne.
She watched Julian’s agitated back and frowned, knowing that his bad mood was likely influenced by Rosalie.
The more she associated Julian with Rosalie, the deeper her unease grew.
Her desire to win Julian’s heart became even more urgent.
But after today, Roseanne had realized that Julian’s patience with her was even less than it had been three years ago. If she pushed any harder, he would only push her away further.
With someone like Julian, she had to proceed gradually.
Kaleb, however, curled his lips in a meaningful smile. “Her heart is in turmoil. It can’t be calmed by just a cigarette.”
Probably only Sean, who was rather insensitive, didn’t catch Kaleb’s implication and naively asked, “Julian’s heart is in turmoil? Who caused it?”
