“What? Is divorce the only thing we have left to talk about?” Julian hadn’t even realized that, despite his usual packed schedule, he was wasting time throwing meaningless words at Rosalie.
Rosalie let out a cold laugh and answered, “What else do you think? You’ve had a whole year, and you still haven’t found another topic to discuss with me, have you?”
Her tone was laced with mockery, every word a jab straight to his chest.
Julian stiffened, momentarily speechless. He wanted to argue, but he couldn’t find a single word to refute her.
She was damn right. Over the past year, he had never once made an effort to speak to her. The resentment from their forced marriage had always clouded his judgment, making it easy to take his frustrations out on her.
Julian had thought that once his grandfather passed, he would finally be free of her. But now, he realized that letting her go wasn’t as easy as he had imagined. Even if he pushed her away, it felt as if something had been ripped out of him, leaving behind a gaping wound.
Faced with Rosalie’s question, he found himself at a loss for words.
Rosalie used to long for just a single conversation with Julian. Even one extra word from him was enough to make her happy for an entire day.
But once she let the expectations go, they became meaningless.
People said a woman could fall in love with a man in an instant, and in another instant, she could learn to hate him just as deeply.
She fell for Julian in a heartbeat, but it took her a lifetime to take back that love.
Heaven must have pitied her to grant her a chance to start over, and Rosalie swore she wasn’t about to waste this second life on the same mistake.
So when Julian didn’t respond, she lost her patience and replied, “If you didn’t call to talk about the divorce, then don’t waste my time. Whatever we had, it was never deep enough for long, meaningless phone calls.”
After speaking, Rosalie was about to hang up when Julian’s voice cut through again, cold and sharp. “Who is that man with you?”
Rosalie’s fingers paused over the screen. She turned her head slightly and glanced at the figure moving around in the kitchen. “You mean Eddie?”
She let out a short, amused laugh and continued, “What, since when do you have an interest in men? Hate to disappoint you, but Eddie is straight. He’s not interested in you, so stop prying.”
Without waiting for a response, she ended the call.
“Damn it.” Hearing the busy tone on the other end, Julian slammed the receiver down. His eyes were stormy, his entire body tense with frustration.
“Eddie?” He gritted the name out between clenched teeth. “She says it like they’re close.”
Meanwhile, Rosalie had already put Julian out of her mind. Eden brought the chicken pot pie to the table and gave her a knowing look. “Julian called?”
She nodded, taking a seat and grabbing a piece. “Yeah. He even asked about you. You think he might be into you?”

Eden rolled his eyes and replied, “You spent a whole year being a lovesick fool, and now you don’t understand the Bain
Rosalie looked up from her plate and casually asked, “Understand what?”
Eden scoffed, “He’s jealous. He thinks you’re cheating on him.”
“Jealous? He?” Rosalie blinked, momentarily caught off guard, then shrugged indifferently. You seriously think he’s pathete enough to only start caring about me now that I want a divorce?”
