Chapter 104

Bem, wary of being caught by Roseanne or criticized, tried his best to blend into the background. To avoid getting up, Sean pondered a second, then decided to play dead and not reply. He glanced at his phone, occasionally checking, hoping a message would arrive. He realized Julian wasn't even acknowledging her presence. She reassured herself; he surely hadn't seen her message yet.

Taking a deep breath, she typed in the group chat: "Rovernze Jam long time." 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. Sean had no choice but to answer. "Hey, Julian."

The guy next to Rosalie? Julian's voice was low and cold. "Hub on 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, "Julian, are you seriously going through with this divorce...?" Before he could finish, Julian hung up. His face was as dark as a brewing storm, and his mood plummeted straight to rock bottom.
