Love You Like I Used To Forget It (Millie Bridge) novel Chapter 70

Chapter 70

I was speechless.

Cordelia went on, “That scumbag kept swearing that nothing was going on between him and Julianne. But before you’ve even gotten the divorce certificate, he’s already rushing to get a hotel room with her. How shameless of him!

“Since you two aren’t officially divorced yet, doesn’t this count as being in an extramarital affair? Fight for it and leave him with nothing to his name after you divorce him!

I chuckled after hearing Cordelia’s rant. I could understand why she was so fired up about seeing the news of Irvin and Julianne going to a hotel. However, forcing him to leave with nothing to his name was nearly impossible, so I didn’t bother entertaining the thought.

After hearing that it would be difficult to strip Irvin of his assets, Cordelia snorted in disdain. We chatted about a few other things before ending the call.

The moment we hung up, I leaned against the headboard and opened a news site. I cocked an eyebrow upon seeing the headlines plastered with stories about Irvin and Julianne visiting a hotel together. They were complete with accounts of how loud their antics were until they embarrassed even the neighboring guests.

If it were my old self, seeing such news would still sting a little even if I had resolved to divorce Irvin after being too deeply hurt. After all, I had once truly loved him.

But I wasn’t the same person anymore. Now, my first thought upon seeing such news was that the closer their relationship was, the more certain it was that I’d get the divorce certificate without issues.

This put me in a good mood. And so, I got ready to get out of bed and start my day.

Just then, there came a series of loud, urgent raps on my door, followed by Irvin’s shouting voice coming from outside.

I frowned because I was puzzled as to why he had called me so many times and had even come to look for me. Of course, I didn’t feel like seeing him at all.

But when I remembered that the divorce certificate wasn’t finalized yet, I reluctantly went to open the door.

The moment I unlocked it, Irvin’s hands shot out and grabbed my shoulders immediately.

“Emi, are you alright? I called you so many times, and you didn’t answer. I-”

My cold and impatient demeanor stunned him.

After a pause, he explained anxiously, “What the reports say between me and Julianne is untrue! Nothing happened between us last night. I swear, we-”

Before he could finish, I interrupted him again. “Whatever happened between the two of you has nothing to do with me. I don’t care, and I don’t want to know. Do you have anything else to say? If not, I have things to do. Please leave.”

He had repeated the same words about nothing happening with Julianne so many times before that I didn’t wa to hear it again. It was meaningless. If I had time to spare, I’d rather spend it reading a few more pages from my books.

“Emilia, I know you’re angry, but please don’t be so upset that you won’t even listen to my explanation. Nothing happened between me and Julianne. I swear, nothing-”

His repetitive explanations irritated me so much that I raised my voice, “I’m not angry! I really don’t care what
