“What?” Julian said.
“Between Roseanne and Rosalie, who would you choose?” Kaleb asked.

Julian narrowed his eyes, his gaze falling on Kaleb’s nonchalant face, revealing a hint of hostility. “Why are you speaking so familiarly?” he questioned.
Usually, Julian wouldn’t mind such an intimate tone, but for some reason, hearing it from Kaleb grated on his nerves.
Kaleb was taken aback for a moment. Are you seriously missing the point? Is this really about the tone?‘ he thought to himself.
Kaleb was increasingly convinced that Julian’s mind had been off lately, but he still kindly replied, “Anya often speaks to her in this tone, so I’ve gotten used to it.”
Kaleb paused for a moment. “It’s what you call leading by the wife’s example,” he added with a hint of pride, glancing at Julian. “You and your wife don’t have that kind of bond, so you wouldn’t understand the fun of it.”
Julian was stunned for a moment.
After showing off his marital bliss, Kaleb returned to the previous topic. “You still haven’t answered me. What’s your choice?”
“No choice.” Julian frowned, not wanting to continue the conversation.
Over the past few days, he had realized that something was off with him, specifically, ever since Rosalie signed the divorce papers.
He found himself subconsciously paying attention to her every move and wanting to know anything about her.
This level of concern was unexpected and out of his control. Even though he tried to dismiss this unusual behavior, he couldn’t help but get drawn into it.
‘Could it really be, as Rosalie said, that I started to like her after she filed for divorce?‘ he wondered. Julian scoffed at the thought, dismissing it as unlikely.
Maybe he was just used to having Rosalie around, and now that she was gone, he felt a bit out of sorts. Once he stopped focusing on her, he figured, things would eventually fade away.
“Anya told me you haven’t signed the papers yet. If you were planning to divorce Rosalie for Roseanne, now that she’s back, you need to make a decision.” Kaleb pressed, determined not to drop the subject.
As expected, Julian’s expression darkened again at the mention of divorce.
Then, realizing something, he glanced sideways at Kaleb. “Why would my marriage to Rosalie have anything to do with an insignificant outsider like Roseanne?” he said coldly.
When he mentioned Roseanne, Julian’s emotions remained unchanged, just as he claimed that she was merely an unimportant outsider.
This was evident from how Julian had defended Rosalie in front of Roseanne and then left her alone in the cold.
Kaleb looked at Julian, unsure whether to be annoyed or relieved at his behavior. Julian didn’t clarify their relationship when he should have, but now that they were about to get divorced, he was bringing it up.
If Anya, with her short fuse, were here, she’d probably slap Julian upside the head.

“Hey? Insignificant? Everyone in our circle is talking about how you divorced Rosalie because Roseanne came back,” Kaleb said.
Hearing this, Julian’s brows furrowed even more.
He had never heard such rumors before, but recalling what Sean had said in the group chat about divorcing Rosalie for Roseanne and how Roseanne couldn’t compare to Rosalie, he began to piece things together.
