Chapter 162
+23
Anya called over the waiter to place her order. Remembering Rosalie’s overbearing demeanor after drinking last time, Anya quickly added, “You can’t drink something too strong this time. It’s just the two of us here, and I don’t have Julian’s strength to carry you back.”
Mentioning Julian Rosalie’s eyelids trembled slightly, and she picked up some nuts to eat.
She had no recollection of the last time she got drunk and hadn’t asked for details afterward. She only knew from Clara that Julian had carried her back.
Her gaze involuntarily shifted toward Julian’s direction.
Suppressing her thoughts, she said to Anya, “No, I’ve only ordered a milder cocktail this time.”
After the last experience, Rosalie wasn’t foolish enough to joke with herself again. If she got drunk, she would be the one to suffer.
“That’s the right attitude. There’s no need to drown your sorrows in alcohol over a jerk like Julian,” Anya said, patting Rosalie’s hand.
She didn’t notice the group of people at the distant table and continued, “I heard he still hasn’t signed the divorce papers.”
She picked up a handful of nuts in front of her, popped one into her mouth, her tone casual.
“Yes,” Rosalie replied gloomily, then let out a cold laugh. “He’s deliberately opposing me.”
Rosalie was truly amazed at Julian. In order to make her miserable, he was willing to let his beloved take the mistress’s title.
He was dragging his feet on the divorce, while being intimate with Roseanne.
At that moment, the waiter brought over the drinks they had ordered, blocking Rosalie’s view and pulling her thoughts back to the present.
