Chapter 167
Naturally, the idea of divorce seemed only logical and unobjectionable.
But now, with Kaleb asking him directly, Julian opened his mouth and found that he couldn’t answer.
In the end, he nonchalantly replied, “Nothing, I just didn’t like her, so I divorced her.”
However, as he said this, his brow imperceptibly furrowed, and his thin lips pressed tightly into a straight line.
“No,” Kaleb firmly denied this reason.
Julian looked up at him, his brow furrowing, as Kaleb said seriously, “It’s because you were certain that Rosalie would never agree to divorce you.”
Kaleb’s words made Julian’s face jolt again, and a flash of astonishment crossed his already agitated eyes.

“Julian, you relied on the fact that Rosalie loved you and would never easily agree to divorce you. That’s why you so brazenly used divorce as a way to hurt her.” Kaleb’s words were harsh, and his expression was stern, devoid of any joking intent.
His cold, serious gaze fell on Julian’s momentarily bewildered face as he continued, “But you didn’t expect her to agree so easily, and that’s why you’re scared, restless, and unwilling to go through with the divorce, right?”
Kaleb had pointed out something that Julian had been unwilling to confront or had never truly considered. After listening to him, a crack seemed to have opened in Julian’s usually indifferent eyes, and some unfamiliar emotions began to seep out slowly.
“But have you ever thought about how she endured your cold treatment for a whole year? What makes you think she would be content to keep trying to win your affection with her warmth?
“Or maybe you should consider that this time, her easy agreement to divorce isn’t out of spite, but because she’s truly given up,” said Kaleb.
