Chapter 96

Eden considered this, deciding he was probably overthinking. He didn't dwell on it, but Rosalie's voice soon interrupted.

“How’s everything going at the lab?” she asked.

“Smooth sailing, no issues,” Eden replied, pausing. “Galloway Group is working on the same project. From the data I’ve seen, theirs is about the same as ours.” He glanced at Rosalie with a smirk, his tone teasing. “That’s your husband’s company. Should we go easy on them?”

Rosalie, fastening her seatbelt, shot him a side-eye. “Go easy? Julian? You think he’s worth it?”

Eden, unaware Rosalie was already set on divorcing Julian, was taken aback. If he hadn’t been working for her for years, he would have thought she was joking. Her previous behavior around Julian had been purely lovestruck.

As her assistant, Eden had often wondered how someone so brilliant—an absolute genius in every aspect—could become so uncharacteristically naive in relationships.

That was why, after years of observing this pattern, he found her blatant disdain for Julian shocking. Then Rosalie casually dropped another bombshell. “Oh, Julian and I are getting divorced. So from now on, don't ever mention him in the same breath as me.”

Eden, still reeling from the first surprise, was utterly stunned. “You’re getting divorced?” he asked, eyes wide.

He could hardly believe that the same woman who had practically transformed herself from a powerhouse into a clueless romantic because of Julian was now leaving him.

“What changed your mind?” Eden asked.

Rosalie glanced at him but didn't answer, simply reminding him, “Less talking. Drive.”

What changed her mind? Anya had asked the same question. But it wasn't something she could easily explain. If she hadn't lived through the final moments of her past life, if she hadn't been crushed by the sheer weight of it all, she probably would have remained fixated on Julian forever, chasing after him like a fool.
