Chapter 1353
Dinner was pleasant and harmonious.
After the meal, the three of them sat in the living room and chatted. The atmosphere was especially warm and relaxed.
Most of the conversation between Rosalie and Theodore revolved around the book she was about to write.
Rosalie asked Theodore many questions, and he answered each one carefully, offering his advice. In this field, he was indeed more knowledgeable than Rosalie as he had years of experience. His insights were sharp, whether viewed from a macro or micro perspective.
As their discussion grew more complex, it reached a level where others could no longer understand.
Justin sat silently on the couch, watching them. Even though he didn't understand their conversation, he wasn't annoyed. His gaze remained fixed on Rosalie.
It was as if he couldn't find a place in their discussion, nor did he want to interrupt. So, he simply watched them quietly.
Unknowingly, time slipped away, and it was already 9.30 PM. Justin glanced at the clock.
His gaze lingered on Rosalie for a long time before he silently stood up and left.
Rosalie and Theodore were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn't even notice Justin getting up. It wasn't until Rosalie felt something was missing that she turned her head, only to see Justin already at the door, turning a corner and disappearing from sight.
"Justin!" Rosalie immediately chased after him.
By the time she reached the door, Justin had already walked some distance away.
"Justin, wait!" she called out toward his retreating figure.
Justin stopped in his tracks.
Rosalie hurried over. "Where are you going?"
With his back still turned to her, Justin said, "I think I should leave."
"Didn't we agree that you'd stay the night? How can you just leave without a word?"
Justin turned to face her. "You were having a great conversation with Theodore. I didn't want to disturb."
It was only then that Rosalie realized she had neglected him.
"Justin, I didn't do it on purpose. I really want to write this book, so I got a little too caught up in the conversation. I'm sorry."
"There's no need to apologize to
me," Justin said. "You didn't do anything wrong. I just felt like leaving. I should be the one apologizing for not telling you."

"Justin, you said you'd stay tonight. Just leave tomorrow-it's already late."
"Rose, does it really matter whether I stay or not? Will it change anything?" Justin suddenly asked.
Rosalie froze. "What are you saying?"
"Seeing how well you and Theodore
get along... I'd be lying if I said I

wasn't jealous. But what's the point? I know he's the right person for you. If you ever need anything, he can help you. But what can I do? I don't even understand what you two were talking about."
"Justin, don't say that. No one in this world knows everything. There are things you understand that I don't."
"I know that," Justin replied. "But the truth is, you and Theodore are really compatible. If you get back together, Steve would be happy too."
"Justin, how can you say that?"
Rosalie's tone grew sharp with
anger. "When have I ever told you I
wanted to get back together with
Theo? Just because I talked about
finance with him?" Content belongs
"Rose, even if you don't reconcile with Theodore, what's the point of me staying here? What exactly are we?" Justin asked.
Rosalie suddenly found herself at a loss for words.
Indeed, what were they? Friends?
Deep down, she knew that what she felt for Justin was more than just friendship.
Seeing her fall silent, Justin walked up to her, lifted his hand, and gently caressed her cheek. "Go back inside and get some rest."
