Chapter 144

“Married?” Julie’s gaze instantly locked onto the man’s face and her tone grew tense, “You and me?”

“Yes, you and me.”

Upon hearing Kieran’s answer, Julie suddenly burst into laughter, “You want to remarry me?”

“No, I don’t.” Kieran responded.

Julie laughed even more brazenly, “Then how on earth could we be married? We divorced five years ago…”

At this point, Julie suddenly noticed the expression on Kieran’s face. Although she wasn’t sure she knew Kieran well, she was certain that he was extremely confident at the moment.

Seeing Kieran’s expression, Julie began to doubt herself…

She looked up at Kieran, “Five years ago, I signed the divorce papers and we went to the City Hall the next day. I personally signed the divorce papers and I personally took the divorce certificate out of the City Hall. We ceased to be husband and wife five years ago, so if we’re living together now, we’re cohabiting. How could we be married?”

“No. 88, Evergreen Avenue, Dreamscape District, the office on the left as soon as you enter. Take your divorce certificate there tomorrow and see if it’s valid.” Said Kieran.

No. 88, Evergreen Avenue, Dreamscape District? Julie had been there twice, once when she married Kieran and once when she divorced him. That’s the address of the City Hall.

Julie’s expression turned from stiff to shocked, “You mean the divorce papers I signed back then are fake? And the divorce certificate is fake too?”

Kieran remained silent. In Julie’s eyes, this meant he was admitting it.

She forcefully pushed Kieran’s chest, “Get up and explain!”

Julie’s action was too big, causing Ivan next to her to suddenly roll off the bed.

Julie quickly ran to Ivan. He was sleeping on a folding bed for accompanying patients. The bed was low, so he wasn’t hurt. Ivan just rolled over, mumbled some incomprehensible sleep talk, and continued sleeping.

Kieran was sitting on the edge of the bed, loosening his tie. Looking at Ivan who was sound asleep on the floor, he got up, picked Ivan -up, put him-back on the bed, and covered him with a blanket.

Julie lowered her voice and grabbed Kieran’s sleeve, “Was the divorce certificate I got back then invalid?”

“Tomorrow morning at seven thirty, I will have a breakfast meeting with the director of the finance bureau. The City Hall opens at nine. You can go check for yourself at nine. I’ll pick you up at nine thirty to go home.” Kieran said.

Julie was still holding onto Kieran’s sleeve, “Explain now!”
