Chapter 96
Eden thought about it and figured he was probably overthinking things. He didn’t dwell on it any further, but soon Rosalie’s voice pulled him back.
“How’s everything going at the lab?” asked Rosalic.
“Smooth sailing, no issues.” Eden thought for a moment and added, “Galloway Group is working on the same project. From the data I’ve seen, their progress is about the same as ours.”
He glanced at Rosalie with a smirk, his tone teasing. “That’s your husband’s company. Should we go easy on them?” Rosalie finished fastening her seatbelt and shot him a side–eye. “Go easy? Julian? You think he’s worth it?”
Eden wasn’t aware Rosalie was already set on divorcing Julian, so her response caught him off guard.
If he hadn’t been working for Rosalie for years, he would’ve thought she was joking. The way she used to act around Julian was a pure lovestruck fool.
As her assistant, Eden had often wondered how someone so brilliant–an absolute genius in every aspect–could turn into a total airhead when it came to relationships.
That was why, after years of seeing her stuck in the same cycle, Eden found it shocking to hear her speak about Julian with such blatant disdain.
Then Rosalie casually dropped another bomb. “Oh, Julian and I are getting divorced. So from now on, don’t ever mention me in the same breath as him.”
Eden, still reeling from the first shock, was utterly blindsided by this one. He asked with his eyes wide open, “You’re getting divorced?”
He could hardly believe that the same woman, who had practically downgraded herself from a powerhouse to a clueless romantic because of Julian, was walking away from him.
Eden asked again, “What changed your mind?”
Rosalie shot him a glance but didn’t answer. Instead, she reminded him, “Less talking. Drive.”
What changed her mind? Anya had asked her the same question. But it wasn’t something she could explain.
If she hadn’t lived through the last moments of her past life, if she hadn’t been crushed by the sheer weight of it all, she probably would’ve stayed stuck on Julian forever and would’ve chased after him like a fool.
