Julian stepped out of the bathroom, fresh from his shower, only to find Rosalie still sitting there, lost in thought
There was something different about her, but when he looked closer, it was like nothing had changed at all.
He didn’t bother saying anything. He had learned his lesson. Every time he exchanged words with this woman, he ended up so frustrated that he was about to explode.
He dressed quickly and headed for the door. But just as he stepped out, he hesitated. For some reason, he glanced back at
her.
Recalling the doctor’s warning from the night before, he spoke in a clipped tone, “Don’t get your foot wet. Don’t walk around. If you need anything, call Clara.”
“Got it.” Rosalie’s voice was calm, almost indifferent. She didn’t even look at him.
Once Julian was gone, Rosalie took a deep breath, pulled herself together, and called Clara to bring her some clothes.
When Clara arrived and saw Rosalie getting dressed to go out, she immediately tried to stop her. “Ma’am, your foot is still in pretty bad shape. You should really be resting in bed. If there’s anything you need, just let me know. I’ll handle it for you.”
TheRosalie buttoned up her coat and replied casually, “I will rest. But first, get me a car. I’m going home.”
Clara hesitated, clearly confused. “Ma’am, are you still mad at Mr. Galloway?”
Clara assumed that since Julian brought Rosalie back to Rosalian Manor, she would finally have a reason to stay. After all, Rosalie had always been so in love with Julian. Now that she had a chance to mend things, why would she leave again?
Rosalie looked up at Clara and smiled, “Mad? What’s there to be mad about? We are divorced. I don’t have anything here. It’s not exactly the best place to recover, don’t you think?”
she be meg fore July Hemas,
Rosalie was very clear that if she had any sense, she’d get out of here before Julian came back with Roseanne. Otherwise, things would only get really awkward.
Clara didn’t understand what was going through Rosalie’s head. She figured Rosalie was just being stubborn and throwing a tantrum in the heat of the moment.
She continued to persuade Rosalie, “Ma’am, if you need anything, just tell me. I’ll arrange it for you. But you should stay here and rest. If you leave now, I can’t even explain to Mr. Galloway when he comes back.”
Rosalie kept buttoning her coat, but at that last sentence, she almost laughed out loud.
