Divorce Countdown (Amelia and Julian) novel Chapter 7

Divorce Count Down Chapter 07

Hearing that Amelia had gone through something similar, Elizabeth immediately felt sympathy and couldn’t help but comfort her.

“I went through something similar, but it’s okay. Once you divorce, everything will get better. Jules will definitely help you through it.”

Indeed, he had helped with the most difficult part—signing the papers.

Amelia nodded and continued the conversation.

“I heard he handled your case as well. He must have been very dedicated.”

A shy look crossed Elizabeth’s face, and her tone softened.

“Yeah, Jules helped me a lot. He collected evidence to sue my ex-husband while staying by my side to keep me safe. If he hadn’t stepped in, I might have already died under that crazy man’s knife.”

Watching her sweetly recall those painful memories, Amelia froze for a moment and blurted out a question that didn’t quite suit the moment.

“Do you like Julian?”

Hearing that question, Elizabeth froze completely. After thinking about it, she finally answered hesitantly, “I don’t know. At first, I only saw him as an older brother. Since I was little, he has always taken me out, cared about me in every way, and even prepared many gifts. Whenever someone bullied me at school, he would step in and stand up for me, sometimes ending up hurt. When he heard about my divorce, he came to help on his own. Later, Ethan told me that Jules had liked me all along…

“He’s such an aloof guy, yet he liked me in secret. I don’t even know how he fell for me.”

Listening to her talk on and on about those memories, Amelia felt a mix of emotions.

Through Elizabeth’s words, she came to know a Julian completely different from the one in her memory.

It turned out he wasn’t naturally indifferent, he just didn’t like her. Rather than being nonchalant, she simply wasn’t the person who could stir his passion.

Unfortunately, she had fallen too deeply and realized it too late, wasting so many years on him.

Lost in her memories, Elizabeth did not notice the meaningful look on Amelia’s face.

After their talk, she believed Amelia was someone she could trust. She gathered her courage and slowly voiced the question that had troubled her for a long time to this woman she had barely met a few times.

“Lia, what do you think of Jules?”

Amelia understood what she really meant.
