Boss, Your Ex-Wife is Unreachable Now! novel Chapter 78

The Windsor family always had dinner a bit earlier than most, and tonight was no exception. Outside, the winter sun was slipping low, turning the sky a hazy gold that blurred the line between day and night.

York drove steadily into the dusk, his gaze fixed ahead. After a thoughtful pause, he finally answered Rosamund's earlier question. "You and Beasley have always been strong-willed."

Rosamund looked surprised for a moment, then smiled. "Do you think I shouldn't have gone abroad for school?"

York's grip tightened unconsciously on the steering wheel. "You went overseas to chase your dreams. That was your choice."

Back in their university days, Beasley had always shone brilliantly. York knew Rosamund had decided to study abroad because she wanted to be worthy of standing beside someone like Beasley—she wanted to be extraordinary, too, so they could walk through life as equals.

But not long after she left, everything changed. An incident overseas altered the course of her life—and Beasley's—forever.

Beasley eventually got married. Rosamund, meanwhile, decided to stay abroad for a while, only returning home two days ago.

She offered a bittersweet smile, the fading sunlight through the car window casting shadows across her face, making her look even more forlorn. "You're right. I did achieve my dream. So, I suppose I have nothing to regret."

York felt a dull ache in his chest, his knuckles turning pale as he clutched the wheel.

A brief silence settled in the car.

Rosamund was the first to break it, her expression brightening. "Let's not dwell on the past. Let's talk about the film. I actually have someone in mind for the lead actor—I'd love to recommend him to you."

York's mood always followed Rosamund's lead. Sensing her shift, he played along, smiling. "Alright, let's hear who the lucky guy is."

Rosamund gave him a name.

York's eyebrows shot up in surprise. "He's fantastic—but do you really think he'll agree to it?"
