Chapter 130
“Ill go check on Riley. You guys start eating Claudia said, putting down her fork and forcing a smile as she stood up. She didn’t dare to make i single mistake.
Claudia had endure for over a decade and couldn’t afford to fail nove
Just let Rosalie enjoy her moment of triumph for a little while longer. Soon, I will n
I make that bitch’s life worse than a beggar’s, she wondered.
Phyllis, seated at the head of the table, noticed that Julian hadn’t greeted her or even glanced her way since he entered and took his seat. Already upset that Rosalie had beaten her precious grandson, she tel even more suffocated by Julian’s apparent disregard.
Edward, however, was too preoccupied to pay attention to Phyllis mood. He awkwardly made small talk with Julian
Rosalie sat silently beside him and focused on her meal as if nothing around her mattered.
Julian, although seemingly engaging with Edward, appeared rather perfunctory in his demeanor. His eyes, however, kept drifting toward Rosalie
“Judian, try this. I made it specially for Rosalie, and I’m sure you’ll like it too. Helena’s soft voice interrupted Julian’s thoughts as she placed a meatball on his plate with her fork.
This act immediately caused Julian’s brows to furrow in displeasure. He looked up at Helena, his eyes flashing with irritation, though she seemed oblivious, Instead, she beamed at him, thinking her smile was charming
At that moment, Rosalie also looked up, and upon hearing Helena’s words, she immediately understood Edward’s intentions.
So that’s why Edward invited Julian here, to play matchmaker for his illegitimate daughter, Rosalie wondered. A flash of sarcasm crossed Rosalie’s eyes, but she didn’t bother to expose the scheme.
After all, Rosalie was already divorced from Julian. Whether he ended up with Roseanne or Helena was none of her business.
With that thought, she returned her attention to her meal.
The next second, there was a clatter as Julian put down his fork. “Could I get a new set of utensils, please?” he asked, making it clear to everyone that he was rejecting Helena’s gesture
It was an open insult, with no attempt to hide his disdain.
As a bystander, Rosalie couldn’t help but find the sit
situation amusing
Helena was being far too eager. There hadn’t been any real progress between Julian and her, yet she was already shamelessly serving him food. Rosalir, who lud been Julian’s legitimate wife, had never once served him food.
