Chapter 169
Fortunately, Julian had always been cold toward Rosalie, even mentioning that he would divorce her sooner or later, so Matteo had believed him and had privately reassured Roseanne not to worry, that Julian still had feelings for her.
But recent events had made Matteo doubt his assumptions, especially Julian’s inexplicable irritability tonight, which seemed quite odd.
Upon hearing Sean’s exclamation, Matteo understood everything.
It was quite a coincidence.
Rosalie and Anya were there too.
Thinking of that, Matteo’s brow furrowed slightly, clearly displeased.
However, no one cared about his feelings.
Kaleb followed Sean’s gaze and saw Anya and Rosalie chatting and laughing at a nearby table.
He deliberately glanced at Julian, who had just returned from the smoking area, and sent a video call to Anya.
“I’ll take this call. It’s from Julian,” Anya said, pulling out her phone and showing it to Rosalie.
Rosalie’s face froze, thinking of the people sitting opposite them, and her expression became strange.
As soon as Anya answered, Kaleb’s voice came through. “Anya, I’m right across from you. Come over and join us.”
Through the video, Anya saw her husband waving at her. Besides Kaleb, she also spotted Roseanne.
“Alright, I’m coming,” Anya said, hanging up with a hint of displeasure and starting to grumble. “Julian, dragging his feet on the divorce and yet has the nerve to bring out that bitch. What a bastard!”
Rosalie was taken aback for a moment, left speechless by Anya’s muttered complaints.
“Come on, Rosalie. Let’s go over there. I don’t believe that couple has the audacity to flirt right in front of you,” Anya said, pulling Rosalie’s hand to head toward Julian and the others.
Rosalie was silent. ‘No, I don’t want to get involved in this drama,‘ she wondered.
Before she could say anything, Anya had already started dragging her.
Rosalie gently struggled and pulled her hand free from Anya’s grip.
“Rosalie?” Anya said, surprised by Rosalie’s resistance and turning back to look at her questioningly.
Rosalie stood up, downed the remaining half of her Margarita in one go, and said to Anya, “I actually have another appointment. It’s about time for me to leave. You go over and join Kaleb and the others.”
Anya, of course, didn’t believe such a convenient excuse. It was obvious that Rosalie didn’t want to be in the same space as Julian.
That was right. If Kaleb had treated her the way Julian had treated Rosalie over the past year, Anya would have broken his leg long ago.
Kaleb, who was unfairly implicated, shivered for no apparent reason at that moment.
“Rosalie, I know you don’t want to see that jerk Julian, but don’t you see? His ex–girlfriend is here. As the legitimate wife, shouldn’t you go over there and assert your authority?” Anya said.
If Roseanne dared to make a move on Julian, she wouldn’t let her off easily.
