Chapter 104
Sean, who had just been caught by Roseanne for badmouthing her, was trying his best to blend into the background.
However, Julian picked this exact moment to speak up. Sean hesitated for a second, then decided to play dead and not reply.
Julian: [@Sean]
Sean, still clutching his phone, stayed silent, hoping Julian would drop it.
Meanwhile, Roseanne’s heart sank further when she realized Julian wasn’t even acknowledging her presence. She reasured herself, ‘He surely hasn’t seen me yet.
Taking a deep breath, she typed in the group chat.
Roseanne: “Julian, long time no see. @Julian”
After sending the short message, she waited for ages, but there was no reply. Her face darkened instantly,
Just then, Julian, having tagged Sean and gotten no response, called him directly. The sudden vibration nearly made Sean drop his phone.
There was no way out, so Sean had no choice but to answer. “Uh… Hey, Julian
“Who’s the guy next to Rosalie?” Julian’s voice was low and cold.
“Huh? Oh… Him? No idea. Rosalie said he’s a friend. Judging by the way they talk, they’ve known each other for a while.
Sean hesitated for a second and added, “Probably longer than you have.”
Whether he said it without thinking or was just stirring the pot, he wasn’t sure. Either way, as soon as the words were out, he could feel the tension on the other end of the line. Julian’s breathing grew heavier.
Sean continued to ask, “Julian, are you seriously going through with this divorce…”
Before Sean could finish, Julian hung up. His face was as dark as a brewing storm, and his mood plummeted straight to rock bottom.
