Chapter 1353 Friend-Zoned
After hesitating for a long-time, a fair and slender hand suddenly grabbed Roselynn’s wrist from behind when she turned around to leave.

“Roselynn, you actually came?” Roselynn turned her head and saw Julian’s spirited short hair, as well as his intense gaze and excited expression. Her heart suddenly felt like a jolt of electricity coursed through it.
“Why… did you cut your hair?” Roselynn blurted out her question immediately.
“Because you said you don’t like men with long hair!” Julian said with a smile that was very bright with a hint of innocence, like a happy puppy.
She sighed slightly but still gently released his hand.
“Roselynn, I’ve prepared dinner. Let’s eat together!” he still warmly invited her.
The expectant look on his face made Roselynn unable to refuse. Especially since Emmanuel just told her that Julian had once broken his heart for her! How could she bear to hurt him again and again? “Alright. But I have a request!”
“Sure. I can fulfill any request you have!” Julian vowed.
“We’ll go Dutch on this meal.”
“Uh, well…” Julian was immediately stunned. It felt that Roselynn was so far from him despite standing right before
him.
However, he still nodded. As long as he could see her, he didn’t care what he had to do!
He didn’t even know why he liked her so much. He was used to a life where everything came easily to him. The more he couldn’t get something, the more he would go all out to pursue it! It seemed that the saying was true, where one would always run after what one couldn’t have.
Soon, the two of them were sitting face to face in a private room. Julian poured a glass of Lafite for Roselynn and smiled. “Here, Roselynn. Let’s have a drink!”
She nodded and raised her glass with a smile, clinking it against his.
Julian was extremely happy. He thought to himself. Emmanuel sure is reliable. Has he already convinced Hestia? Her attitude seems a bit different from before. At least she’s given me a chance!
Then, he quickly took the initiative to start a conversation, and they talked about their respective interests, astrology, and careers.
But when they talked about their family backgrounds, Roselynn interrupted him, “Julian, I know you’re a good man, and I’m willing to be friends with you. But there’s a significant difference in our social status. And I don’t have those kinds of feelings for you. We aren’t destined to be lovers, let alone husband and wife!”
After speaking, she smiled slightly, revealing a hint of awkwardness. She had rejected other men before, but none of them were as serious as Julian. Perhaps she knew that after those men were rejected, they would turn around and find other women, but Julian wouldn’t.
His admiration for her made her feel a sense of burden. So she couldn’t accept any kindness from him, afraid that she wouldn’t be able to repay it in the future!
“Friends? Alright then! We’ll be good friends from now on!” Julian didn’t feel discouraged when he was friend-
zoped In fact his smile became even brighter

Being friends with her meant he had a legitimate reason to ask her out for a meal, so he wouldn’t have to spend every day in unrequited love as he had for the past two weeks.
He decided to be a loyal companion, making sure that Roselynn was comfortable and happy. As long as he could see her smile, he would be content.
