Chapter 175
“Where do you think you’re taking my wife?” Julian demanded.
Eden was worried about Rosalie’s condition. The warmth of her body, even through her clothing, felt like it was burning his skin.
“Rosalie has already divorced you, Mr. Galloway. I don’t think you have any say in where I take her now.” He lifted Rosalie into his arms and started walking toward the lobby.
Julian would never allow Eden to leave with Rosalie so easily. Stepping from the elevator and seeing Rosalie cradled in Eden’s arms, his anger flared. From his perspective, they looked like an intimately close couple. The thought of being cuckolded was unbearable. Seeing Eden lift Rosalie again fueled his fury; he could barely think straight, only managing to step in front of them.
“Divorced?” Julian sneered. “So eager, huh? I haven’t even signed the papers yet, and you’re already jumping at the chance to be her lover?”
Eden had always known Julian didn’t value Rosalie in their marriage; it was almost emotional abuse. However, since Julian was Rosalie’s husband, Eden had mostly just disliked him without confrontation. Seeing Rosalie tear up at the mention of Julian’s name that day deepened his animosity. He had cared for Rosalie for six years, yet she cried because of such a heartless man. He couldn’t bear it.
“How dare he take advantage of Rosalie’s affection to hurt her so casually?” he wondered.
“Mr. Galloway, if you’re worried about being cuckolded, you should just sign the papers sooner,” Eden said with a smile, adding provocatively, “Of course, I wouldn’t mind. Rosalie is wonderful. I’d be happy to be her lover.”
Julian’s fists clenched. He recognized that devilishly handsome face; he’d seen photos of Eden and Rosalie in a group chat posted by Sean.
