Chapter 121

Everyone seemed to believe Julian had favored Rosalie because of Roseanne. “Iya, all are so quick to make up stories; why not become screenwriters?” Julian said with a stern face, though a chill ran through him. Everyone thinks this way, he wondered; does Rosalie think so too?

“It’s not that you’re good at making up stories. It’s that your behavior gives people plenty to speculate about,” Kaleb said irritably, glancing at Julian, thinking of their family connection. Kaleb offered a piece of advice: “You knew the car accident was Roseanne stirring up trouble, yet you still made Rosalie apologize to her. What were you thinking?”

Julian pressed his lips together and remained silent. Kaleb, however, wasn’t about to let him off the hook. “If you were in Rosalie’s shoes, how would you feel? Your husband is making you apologize to another woman. She’d be furious with you.”

Julian still didn’t speak, but the tight line of his jaw betrayed his emotions.

Her arrogance had angered him, but there was also a sense of unease he didn’t want to admit, let alone confront.
