Divorce Countdown (Amelia and Julian) novel Chapter 18

Divorce Count Down Chapter 18

It took Amelia only ten minutes to compare the information she had gathered and retrieve all the necessary documents. 

After checking everything and making sure there were no mistakes, she walked out with the document bag. When she saw Julian slumped at the doorway, she narrowed her eyes. 

What kind of act was he putting on this time? 

Could he be pretending to be sick just to delay the divorce date? 

As she walked up to him, Amelia was highly alert, and her tone was full of suspicion. 

“Are you feeling unwell?” 

This question was not out of concern, but rather doubt. 

Julian could naturally tell the difference. 

He shook his head, propped himself up against the door, and managed to force a smile. 

“I’m fine, let’s go.” 

Seeing him push open the door, Amelia finally let down her guard a little and followed after him. 

On the way back to the courthouse, neither of them spoke again.

As soon as she finished speaking, she was about to leave, but he grabbed her wrist. 

“Who said we’re even?” 

Amelia glanced at the divorce certificate in her hand, then at his expression, deeply doubting the confidence he showed at this moment. 

“The law has already declared us divorced. How are we not even?” 

“Yes, legally we’re no longer husband and wife. But the fact that we were once classmates doesn’t change.” 

“Then let me remind you, we weren’t exactly close back in school, and there wasn’t much of a friendship worth continuing.” 

Julian didn’t deny this. 

“That’s right, I wasn’t very warm to you back then. But who told you to keep pestering me?” 

It was the first time Amelia had ever heard him bring up how she used
