Chapter 79

This was the first time Julie had been angry like this since the hospital incident five years ago.

Even when she proposed the divorce to Kieran back then, she hadn’t bared her emotions like she was doing now.

Having asked the questions and vented her feelings, Julie was ready for an answer. She wasn’t about to turn around and leave. Instead, she stood opposite Kieran, waiting for his response.

Yet Kieran remained silent, seemingly deep in thought

After a long silence, he suddenly looked up at Julie and asked, “Would you marry someone you don’t love?”

“No, that’s why I married you,” Julie replied firmly, without a trace of dishonesty.

She said, “I was so blinded by love that I was willing to marry you even though you didn’t love me. I thought it was enough as long as I loved you deeply, but I forgot that you could fall in love with someone else.”

Julie’s tone was filled with the indifference that comes with extreme disappointment

Kieran’s deep gaze remained fixed on Julie’s beautiful face

Her face was now tinged with a blush from the recent outburst of anger, and there was no warmth to be found in her clear eyes.

Kieran and Julie gazed at each other for a long time before he finally spoke.

He said, “Julie, I wouldn’t either.”

He wouldn’t what? Not believe in love or marry someone he didn’t love?

Julie didn’t understand what Kieran meant by that.

All she knew was that he had called her Ms. Abraham, Attorney Abraham, and Joyce, but he had never addressed her as Julie.

Judging from Kieran’s current expression, Julie knew he was serious. Very serious.

Feeling that his previous statement wasn’t clear enough, Kieran added, “I wouldn’t marry a woman | didn’t love, no matter in the past, the present, or the future.”

Marriage was no child’s play, and he had always been serious about it. From the moment he married her to the moment he watched her sign the divorce papers, every decision he made was well thought out.

When he said he wouldn’t marry a woman he didn’t love, Julie’s eyes welled up with tears, but the look in her tearful eyes was full of ironic laughter
