Divorce Count Down Chapter 02
It was late at night, but Amelia still couldn’t fall asleep.
She buried her head into the pillow, her thoughts running wild, when suddenly a restless hand wrapped around her waist.
Feeling the hot breath behind her, Amelia instinctively moved away, dodging Julian’s kiss.
Her rejection caught him by surprise.
After all, during their three years of marriage, Amelia had always been the one to initiate.
It was rare for him to be in the mood, yet she rejected him. Naturally, he was puzzled.
“Are you not feeling it?” he asked.
“I’m on my period.”
Amelia made up an excuse. Julian didn’t think much of it, hummed softly in response, and tucked the blanket around her.
As usual, he reviewed the day in his head before going to sleep. Suddenly remembering the property transfer agreement from earlier, he asked, “Where is it? Let me see if there’s anything wrong.”
Amelia’s heart pounded wildly as she stared at him.
“Do you really want to see it?”
Seeing her nervous expression, Julian frowned slightly and nodded.
After a moment of silence, Amelia got up and went to the study to get the agreement.
Just as she was about to hand it to him, a sudden ringtone broke the moment.
Julian answered the call first.
“Jules! Martin got drunk again, and he’s picking a fight with someone. Please come quickly, I’m scared!”
Thinking of Martin Gibbs, Elizabeth’s fierce and unreasonable ex-husband, Julian’s expression changed. He grabbed his coat and rushed out.
Watching his hurried figure, Amelia called out to him.
“Is it that young girl who’s getting divorced?”
Julian was about to reply, but worried Amelia might overthink since it was late at night, he deliberately exaggerated the situation.
“Yeah, her drunk ex is swinging a knife outside her door. I need to go, or something terrible might really happen.”
Amelia didn’t try to stop him again and only reminded him to be careful.
