Chapter 129
“Rosalie, what do you think you’re doing!” Phyllis asked cautiously, her words softened by Rosalie’s earlier warning
Phyllis wanted to bring up Rosalie’s mother. Bella, but knew better than to provoke the already volatile Rosalie. She was certain that if the mentioned Bella Rosalie might just as well dismantle her bones.
Rosalie raised an eyebrow and replied nonchalantly, “Teaching him how to behave. Didn’t you get it? Need me to demonstrate again?”
Phyllis was left speechless. Damn it! Bastard! The Talley family has really raised a fine piece of trouble, she wondered
“No, that won’t be necessary. Edward interjected, his face stern, fearing that Rosalie might actually strike Riley again.
“Can we all eat in peace now!” Rosalie asked.
Despite their son being humiliated, Edward and the others had no choice but to swallow their pride.
“Let’s eat. No more trouble,” Edward said, his expression sour.
As he glanced up, he noticed Julian standing in the entrance, watching the scene unfold with interest.
“Julian Edward’s face flickered with surprise and regret upon seeing Julian Clearly, he didn’t want Julian to witness the family being dominated by Rosalie
But Julian’s presence suggested he had been there for a while.
At the mention of Julian, Rosalie’s back stiffened for a moment. But she quickly composed herself, not even sparing Julian a glance as she walked to the dining table and sat down alone.
Julian couldn’t help but frown at Rosalie’s deliberate ignoring of him. Her coldness over the past few days had already said enough.
“Sorry I’m late.” Julian said, walking up to the table and looking at the untouched dishes.
“Mind if I join you?” he asked, though his casual seating next to Rosalie made it clear he wasn’t really asking for permission.
Feeling the tall figure take the seat next to her, Rosalie’s grip on her fork tightened slightly
“Of course not” Edward quickly adjusted his expression and welcomed him warmly. “When I called you this afternoon, you said you were busy, I thought you wouldn’t make it“.
“I finished up and came right over, Julian replied casually, glancing at Rosalie next to him who was focused on her meal, showing no reaction to his arrival
