JulDune wanted Irvin to stand up for her. She wanted him to deal with us on her behalf.
In the past, Irvin would have undoubtedly scolded me. It had up her, he would have punished me without hesitation. It things were the same as before, he would likely react the same way now.
But they weren’t
trying to win me back. So, he wouldn’t dare treat me like he used to
First of all, he was trying
Secondly, some things fell apart when under scrutiny.
Irvin wasn’t a fool. Despite everything, he was still as sharp as a tack. Now, he no longer blindly believed everything Julianne said. Once he actually thought about it, he was able to see things clearly
The things I said had stirred conflicting emotions in him. His eyes reflected his complicated feelings as he gazed at Julianne Hence, he didn’t scold or deal with me on her behalf. Instead, be immediately pulled her away from the scene.
Irvin was a proud man. He also greatly valued his dignity. He couldn’t stand people staring at him critically.
Thad a suspicion he couldn’t bear all the judgemental looks. I also suspected he couldn’t accept that Julianne had been with his father. That was why, despite spoiling, indulging, and treating her so well, he still felt he didn’t love her.
Noah and I finally reached the private dining room.
After we sat down, I smiled apologetically at him. I felt embarrassed that he had been subjected to slander simply because we had the misfortune of running into those trashy duo. Instead of filling our bellies, we had been filled with anger.
I fell in love with the wrong person when I was younger. I’m actually trying to find a way to divorce him right now,” I sheepishly explained.
Noah lowered his gaze upon hearing this. His long lashes obscured his eyes, making it difficult to tell what he was thinking
He poured me a glass of water. Then asked, “Why do you need to find a way to get divorced? Is he dragging things out because he doesn’t want to ? ”
I couldn’t help sighing at the thought of my current situation with Irvin. “That’s right, but it’s also because I’m afraid to. I can’t divorce him immediately.”
Irvin had made such a cruel move.
“Why’s that? Why can’t you?” Noah sharply caught on
My dilemma wasn’t something that could be explained in a short time. Besides, it had been many we last saw each other. So, it no longer mattered that we were close in the past, we had both changed so much.
I also wasn’t used to discussing my personal matters with strangers or people who didn’t understand me well.
So, I simply sailed and said , “You’re just a kid. You don’t need to low this.”
Noah was speechless.
He had become an adult many years ago. He was about to ask again but then thought better of it. One way or another, he would eventually find out what he wanted to know. And he would make her wish to be divorced come true.
Later that night after I had finished washing up, I collected the trash at home. I got dressed to take it downstairs when Irvin suddenly barged in

I scowled and was about to voice my displeasure, but Irvin beat me to it.
“Where is he?” he demanded after quickly searching the apartment.
“Who?” I replied.
“That punk! My people saw him follow you upstairs, but he hasn’t come back down!” he explained impatiently.
He marched over to the bathroom as he spoke. By the looks of it, he wanted to see if there was anyone inside.

I scoffed when I realized who he was talking about. “Stop searching. Unlike you, I don’t use fake sibling relationships as an excuse to do indecent deede And I surely wouldn’t bring another man home when we’re still married!”
Two years ago, Julianne had returned to the country. Back then, Irvin had used the excuse that she had nowhere else to go. That was how she ended up staying in our home, and she acted as though she was the lady of the house instead of me
Not only that, but he had even criticized me. He called me petty for not wanting to take in my twisted mind and that was why my opinion of their relationship wie also twisted.
Upon hearing my words, Irvin abruptly calmed down.
yown sister. He also said I had a
It seemed they had forced him to recall how he had treated me when Julianne returned two years ago. And in doing so, he was also forcefully reminded of all the mistakes he had made since then.
Guilt surged in his heart as those memories flashed through his mind
“I’m sorry, babe. I know I’m at fault for everything that has happened these past two years. I’ll send Lianne away tomorrow and cut off all contact with her from now on!” Irvin said.
I merely sheered at his words. I was betting Julianne wouldn’t leave tomorrow.
When I didn’t respond, Irvin continued, “So please , don’t intentionally get close to another man, okay ? Please don’t do that just because you’re angry with me. There’s too much mystery surrounding that punk’s identity.”
He had already sent his people to look into Noah’s background. However, they had yet to determine if Noah was the person Irvin suspected he was.
I couldn’t be bothered to respond
Stuffing the bag of trash in his arms, I showed him out the door. Then, I locked him out and went to bed.
