Chapter 297
“Woman, you’re playing with fire?” Just imagining those words coming out of his mouth made Julian feel incredibly greasy.
He thought, ‘Do girls these days like this kind of thing?‘
Sean continued, “Look at this one, it’s pretty intense. Without saying anything, he just kisses her against the wall. “You know, girls are always saying one thing and doing another. They say no, but their bodies say yes. Look, as the heroine is being kissed by the hero, don’t they just end up together?”
julian went speechless. He thought, ‘If I did that, would Rosalie beat me up and call the cops on me for sexual harassment?‘
Meanwhile, the Kaleb couple, who had been quiet and not part of the discussion, looked at Sean with complicated expressions and then at Julian, who seemed to be listening seriously, feeling a bit conflicted.
“Has your brother ever been in a relationship?” Anya furrowed her brows and asked Kaleb, her husband.

Kaleb replied, “The idiot from the landlord family who’s been single for twenty years? He doesn’t have more relationship experience than your brother.”
“Tch!” Anya sighed and rubbed her forehead. “Those two must be kidding.”
Just thinking about Julian saying “Woman, you’re really playing with fire” to Rosalie made her toes curl in embarrassment.
She thought, ‘Julian, even though you want to get your ex–wife back, please don’t follow some clueless single guy’s advice on chasing women. I can guarantee that your wife will run away from you.‘
Anya said to Kaleb, “Can you make your brother stop teaching him?”
“Well, why don’t you make your brother stop learning from him?” replied Kaleb.
In the end, neither of them said anything, but both of them were left feeling conflicted about their own brothers.
Julian, look at me, just like this…” Sean pushed Julian onto the couch behind him, his eyes dreamy and full of affection. “Woman, you’re playing with fire.”
julian went speechless.
He lifted his foot and kicked Sean away, sending him stumbling backward, yellin

Bay, she clutched his backside.
“Julian, how could you do this? I was trying to teach you how to chase your ex back!”
“I don’t need your help.”
Julian, you are heartless.”
Meanwhile, Rosalie was in a private room next door with several professors from the medical department. “It’s Professor Spencer’s birthday today, let’s raise a glass to her.”
Professor Wendy Spencer was the anesthesiology professor in the medical department; she was a woman in her fifties. She and Rosalie worked in the same research group, but because of the age gap, they rarely communicated, even when they shared an office.
Although Rosalie wasnt particularly sensitive, she could tell that Wendy didn’t seem to like her much.
Rosalie wasn’t sure why, but she wasn’t the type to push herself into someone else’s personal space, so their communication had been minimal.
But today. Wendy had come to her, saying it was her birthday and inviting Rosalie to her birthday party with a very pleasant attitude.
If it weren’t for the time they’d spent together, Rosalie might have thought that her impression of Wendy disliking her was just her imagination.
Aside from Rosalie, Wendy had also invited a few other people from the office, including Dustin’s daughter–in–law, Norah.
Rosalie thought that even if Wendy didn’t like her, they hadn’t had any open conflict, and everyone in the office had agreed to attend. As colleagues, expecially working in the same office, it would be impolite to refuse. So she agreed to go.
