Chapter 114

Chapter 114 Julian’s heart clenched ‘I won’t marry again. I won’t date anyone KAR!

“Whether you become a monk is none of my business,” I imerrigeed. “We’re free now, I work you haysiame “Happiness? With who? Julian immediately pictured Varvaris face, I sighed softly, “Can’t I be happy on my own?

Julian’s aching heart eased slightly “Really? You won’t date anyone else? He looked at me andonly, hopping for confirmation.

I didn’t answer, simply smiling serenely, “I should go. Goodbye? I turned and left, elegans and tecidone Julian took a step forward, then stopped. He watched me until I got in the car and drove away. He knew I wouldn’t look back, but he still hoped I would, that I’d feel a little reluctant... Part I never did. His heart felt hollow. The emptiness, the suffocating feeling of grasping for something that wasn’t there, left him breathless. He tore up the divorce certificate and threw it in the trash....

I drove home. I put away the divorce certificate, changed into comfortable dothes, brewed herbal tea, and sat sipping it slowly.

My feelings were complex, like finishing a long journey–a little wistful, a little sad, but mostly relieved it was finally... over. I smiled faintly, taking another sip of the warm tea.

That afternoon, the police called, informing me that Rita had a seizure, a suspected epileptic episode, and her lawyer had applied for bail. A seizure? She’d stop at nothing to escape punishment.

Evan also received the news. He didn’t intervene, wanting to see what tricks the Crowes had up their sleeves. The Gus, having learned that Rita had stabbed Evan, rushed to the hospital, but he refused to see them or accept their apologies. The Gus had thoroughly offended him. Caffrey was frantic. He’d been trying to meet with Evan about the loan, and now his sister had stabbed him, making it impossible. The problem was, the Crowes couldn’t ignore what his sister had done. Offending Evan would cost them many connections. The Shaw family was probably also on his blacklist, and after recent events, both families‘ reputations were tarnished. A Shaw–Crowe alliance might have been a match for Evan, but Julian refused to stand with them...

In the hospital, Rita lay in bed with her eyes closed. Her family discussed their next move outside the room. Caffrey took a call.“Julian and Olivia are divorced?” His brother’s voice reached her. Rita’s eyes snapped open. Uncontainable joy radiated from her. Wonderful!! Julian could finally marry her! She got out of bed, ripped out the IV line, but due to the epilepsy medication, she was weak and fell. Her family rushed in. Caffrey picked her up and put her back in bed.“Can you just calm down?!”
