Chapter 151
Rosalie’s reaction was unexpected for Julian, yet somehow understandable.
But no matter what, her response still displeased him.
“Julian, are you playing with my feelings?” Rosalie asked coldly, her hands slowly clenching into fists at her sides.
The chill emanating from her made Julian’s heart skip a beat. The anxiety he had been suppressing for days began to resurface,
Despite this, he maintained a hint of his usual arrogance and said, “This isn’t playing with your feelings. I just realized that divorce is too much trouble. Staying together like this isn’t so bad either.”
As he spoke, Julian felt unaccountably guilty and even deliberately avoided Rosalie’s gaze. But Rosalie didn’t notice; she was too enraged by his fickle behavior.
“Is that so? But I don’t think it’s good at all,” said Julian.
Rosalie said with a cold laugh, continuing, “Julian, who do you think you are to assume that when you want a divorce, I should just go along with it, and when you change your mind, I should obediently go back and continue being your invisible wife?”
Julian frowned at Rosalie’s question, but she kept going, “So now, I’m formally telling you that it’s not you who wants the divorce, but me. If you don’t cooperate with the divorce proceedings, then I’ll leave it to the court to decide.”
Until Rosalie said this, Julian had never considered that her desire for divorce could be so resolute.
He had always thought that she was just going along with his wishes when she signed the divorce papers, and her repeated urging to finalize the procedures was just a way of sulking at him.
But at this moment, Julian clearly sensed that Rosalie was truly determined to divorce him and didn’t mind taking it to court.
This realization intensified the unfamiliar sense of panic inside him. His face darkened abruptly, and the warmth in his eyes disappeared
completely. “Why go to such lengths, Rosalie? Even if you take it to court, we won’t get a divorce in the short term.”
Divorce cases were numerous and complicated. If they had to wait for a court date, it might take months, and with him pulling some strings, the divorce might not happen at all. He didn’t believe Rosalie hadn’t thought of this.
His words were meant to remind Rosalie but also to soothe his own inner turmoil.
He hadn’t expected that her determination to divorce would evoke such unprecedented fear in him.
‘What am I afraid of? Am I afraid of really losing Rosalie?‘ Julian asked himself inwardly, but he couldn’t find an answer.
If he cared about her, why had he been so impatient to even talk to her over the past year?
