Billionaire's Unforgettable Ex-Wife-Chapter 913 - 573: Rosalind, Let’s See How You Escape My Palm
Following that, Rosalind fell silent, and Owen Lennon said, "You’re not getting any younger; it’s time you had a boyfriend.
You’re always cooped up in the police station; never mind whether the men even fancy you.
They don’t even have a chance to meet you, so how can they date you?"
Rosalind bit her lip, "That’s my personal business, you don’t need to concern yourself with it."
"I don’t want to, but as my ex-girlfriend, seeing you living like this is quite unpleasant for me."
"Then don’t look, no one asked you to see whether my life is a mess or not."
Owen nodded, "True, no one did ask me to look.
I used to think the same before you came to Anchester.
But now that you’re here, and I know you’re here, I feel like I can’t just ignore it."
Rosalind put down her chopsticks, a bit annoyed, "I’ve noticed you’re increasingly meddling. You should take care of your own matters with that time instead.
You may live a dazzling life, but you still don’t have a single woman by your side, do you?"
"That’s by choice. If I wanted to, there’d be a line of women waiting to marry me stretching all the way to the suburbs. You and I, fundamentally, are in completely different situations."
"Oh, you’re so capable, you’ve proved yourself, haven’t you?" Rosalind stood up. "I’m done eating; I’m afraid dining with someone so capable might ruin your appetite."
As she spoke, she began to walk out. Owen glanced at her bowl—it was clearly empty.
He hadn’t eaten much himself. After settling the bill, he followed her outside, pulling her back, "Where are you going?"
"Back to the squad. Otherwise, what, stick around here arguing with you? If you’re in the mood, I’m not here to entertain you."
She shook off his hand and turned away with a huff.
Watching her walking off in a huff, Owen couldn’t help but curl his lips into a smile.
This woman is still the same as she was before.
Rosalind thought that having lunch with Owen was just a random whim, but she was mistaken.
Because Owen showed up again that evening.
Seeing her car parked outside the police station, now dressed in casual clothes, she felt puzzled.
She was contemplating whether to acknowledge him.
From past experience, this man was not to be trifled with—the more you acknowledge him, the more trouble arises.
With this in mind, she walked past his car, and Owen didn’t call out to her, just leisurely driving behind her.
She lived in a small neighborhood behind the police station where she rented an apartment.
At the entrance to the neighborhood, she turned around, walked to his car, and tapped on the hood.
Owen turned off the engine and got out of the car. She said helplessly, "Attorney Lennon, what exactly do you want?"
"Nothing much, I was hoping to have a meal at your place."
"Why, on what grounds?"
"Just based on our past relationship, don’t I at least qualify for a meal at your house?"
Rosalind crossed her arms and looked at him, sighing, "I won’t be in Anchester for long; once this matter is resolved, I’ll return to the province.
I know, you find me an eyesore, but it’s only a matter of a few months at most.
I’ll be good and disappear from your sight."
"Really? Haven’t you received the notice yet?"
"What notice?" Rosalind frowned at him.
"Since you haven’t received it yet, just wait. I don’t need dinner tonight.
I’ve got one thing to say: debts from the past eventually need to be repaid.
I don’t think it’s too late now, let’s start settling accounts slowly."
With that, he got back in his car and drove away.
Rosalind stood in place, looking at the direction his car left, unable to suppress her frown. What did he mean by that? She felt confused.
The next day, when she arrived at the police station, the station chief called her to the office.
"Xiao Rong, I called you in today to deliver a notice.
We’ve been short of elite detectives in our major crimes unit for years.
While I was attending a meeting in the province, I heard you were a key talent they’ve been nurturing, and you’ve made significant achievements, so I requested to have you transferred from the province to lead our major crimes unit at Anchester Police Station.
This decision was just finalized by the province yesterday. Congratulations, you’re now officially part of our Anchester Police Station."
Congratulations? This was a bolt from the blue.
Recalling what Owen said yesterday, she frowned and asked, "Chief, I just need to know if this has anything to do with Attorney Lennon."
"Attorney Lennon? No, do you know Attorney Lennon?"
"Why did you request the transfer from the province? Wasn’t it on his suggestion?"
"He’s a lawyer, I’m a police chief; my actions don’t fall under his purview, do they?"
Rosalind bit her lip, "Then how did he know about my transfer yesterday?"
"We had a meal together once, and he casually asked about you. I mentioned you were a promising officer, and that I’d requested to have you transferred from the province, so he probably knew about it that way.
Why? Is there a problem?"
Rosalind regained her composure and shook her head, "Oh, no, I was just asking casually."
"Xiao Rong, do you think poorly of our Anchester Police Station?
Do you feel there are fewer opportunities for advancement here compared to the province?"
"No, I just feel that in Anchester’s current situation, it doesn’t particularly require many major crime investigators.
But since the Chief values me enough to have me transferred here, I will work diligently."
Hearing her say this, the chief nodded with satisfaction, "Good, very good, after all, coming from the province, your work ethic is commendable."
Rosalind forced a smile and nodded, "If the Chief has nothing else, I’ll be heading out."
"Go ahead."
After leaving, Rosalind’s smile completely collapsed, and she felt at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
She thought she would only be here for a few months, just a short assignment, but didn’t expect... she couldn’t leave once she came.
The mental shift made her really want to run into a wall.
Thinking back to Owen’s expression yesterday, he was clearly waiting to laugh at her... Owen must be having quite the laugh at her expense now.
Frustrated, she bit her lip. Well, it’s useless to say more now; she can only take one step at a time.
Meanwhile, in the police chief’s office, after Rosalind left, the chief quickly picked up the phone on the desk and put it to his ear, saying softly, "Attorney Lennon, I’ve informed Xiao Rong about the matter, you heard, right?"
"Chief Song, thank you for your hard work, I appreciate your help."
"It’s nothing. If you ever need help in the future, just let me know, Attorney Lennon.
As long as it’s within my ability, I will do my utmost to assist."
"Well then, thank you for today; I have something to attend to. Let’s have a meal sometime, Chief Song."
"Alright, alright."
After hanging up the phone, Owen Lennon’s lips curled into a sly smile.
Rosalind, let’s see how you escape my grasp this time.
