When Rosalie returned to the hotel and opened the door, she saw Justin holding Steve high in the air, making the baby giggle joyfully.
Hearing the noise behind him, Justin turned around and gave her a warm smile. You’re back.
Yes, Rosalie replied softly, walking forward. Her gaze lingered on Justin; her lips parted as if to say something, but her mind seemed to freeze and she couldn’t get a single word out.
What’s wrong? Justin asked. Did something happen when you went to see Sebastian today?
Rosalie pulled an invalid marriage certificate from her bag. I’ve divorced him.
Justin let out a sigh of relief. That went smoothly. I thought you might run into trouble-I was worried.
I thought so too at first, but I managed to convince him to agree to the divorce.
Justin felt a bit suspicious-it seemed almost too easy. Given Sebastian’s obsession with Rosalie, it didn’t make sense that he would readily agree to a divorce.
But since the divorce was finalized, he chose not to dwell on it. Maybe he was just overthinking. After all, he didn’t know Sebastian very well. Finally, he said, The important thing is it’s done now. You’re free. You can finally live for yourself.
Rosalie smiled softly. And for my child.
She stepped forward and picked up Steve. Thank you for taking care of him.
It’s nothing. He’s been very well-behaved.
How about I treat you to dinner? What would you like to eat?
It was already the afternoon by then.
Justin suggested, There’s still some time. Why don’t we go for a walk? I’m not familiar with this area. Are there any famous attractions or interesting spots around here?
Rosalie thought for a moment. Yes, there are. Where do you prefer? There’s an eco-park and the beach. Or maybe hiking or skiing?
Justin pondered briefly before replying, Let’s visit the eco park. The scenery should be nice, and it’ll help clear the mind.
Alright.
The three of them then drove to the park. To onlookers, they appeared like a family on a casual outing.
Justin pushed the stroller most of the time. Rosalie tried to take over twice, but he said, It’s fine, I can handle it. It doesn’t take that much effort.
And so, she didn’t insist further.
The two of them chatted and
།
laughed as they strolled through the park, enjoying the fresh air. Time flew by, and before they knew it, the sky was growing dark.
They went to a restaurant for dinner. After dinner, Rosalie attempted to pay the bill, but Justin insisted on covering it.
Rosalie realized that time seemed to
pass especially quickly whenever she was with Justin. After settling the bill, the two prepared to leave the restaurant.
Suddenly, Rosalie spotted a familiar figure.
To her left was Sydney, walking alongside an elegant lady who appeared to be around sixty. The two chatted and laughed as a waiter guided them to a table.
Rosalie realized it had been a long time since she had seen Sydney.
Sydney seemed to notice Rosalie as well. After saying something to the older lady, Sydney walked toward her.
Rose, what are you doing here? Sydney asked, her gaze landing curiously on Justin. And this gentleman is…?
He’s my friend, Rosalie replied.
Friend? Sydney raised an eyebrow. Rose, it’s been so long. I didn’t even know you were back in the country. How’s Sebastian?
