Divorce Count Down Chapter 09
At this moment, she was certain that Julian hadn’t been at the company. Instead, he’d been taking care of the sick Elizabeth.
Thinking of Julian’s confident promise, she scoffed.
He couldn’t even spare half an hour for her.
“Julian, if you knew these hours were the last time I’d be with you, would you regret standing me up again?”
No one was around to answer her, and she no longer cared.
She skimmed the post before messaging Lewis on WhatsApp.
“Mr. Fitzroy, today is the last day of the waiting period. Do I need to visit the firm and complete the procedures?”
Lewis responded swiftly, “That won’t be necessary, Ms. Leighton. Since today is the last day of the waiting period, the whole process is now complete.
“Congratulations on your newfound singlehood.”
It felt like she’d been given a second shot at life.
From today onward, she no longer needed Julian’s love. She would flourish in her new life.
Thinking of this, she felt enlightened and turned to go home.
With three hours to go, she threw out the last of her belongings, then lay on the sofa alone, watching the sunset.
At the two-hour mark, she took out her laptop and edited the photos she had taken today into a video.
At the final hour, she completed the montage. After watching it once, she turned the camera toward herself and pressed record.
She wanted to record a farewell letter she had written to Julian.
Finally, the video was complete. She put the memory card back into the camera, then took out the divorce agreement and placed it on the bedroom nightstand.
“Dear Julian, from this moment on, we are officially divorced. Congratulations to both of us.”
After doing all this, she picked up her last suitcase and left the house, leaving the city altogether.
No one knew where she was going, but she left decisively without turning back.
Meanwhile, Julian didn’t leave Elizabeth’s house until she had almost fully recovered.
He drove while calling Amelia, wanting to keep his previous promise.
But after making more than ten calls, he kept getting directed to voicemail, and his texts were left unanswered.
In their three years of marriage, it was the first time Julian could not reach her.
