We Are Officially Divorced novel Chapter 6

Chapter 6

When I got home, I wanted to speed up the moving process.

But since my leg wasn’t fully healed, it was hard to get around. As such, I hired movers instead.

Big and small boxes were stacked all over the living room. The movers were packing and carrying things out, and the front door was wide open.

When Julian came home and saw this, he quickly asked what was going on.

I rehearsed this, so answered smoothly, “The house in Old Westbury is ready. It’s closer to your office-more convenient. I figured we should move there.”

He remembered the property agreement we signed before and nodded.

After changing his shoes, he walked toward the sofa and sat down, casually chatting as he recalled the layout of the house.

“You like gardening. How about leaving the east balcony empty for your plants?”

I stayed quiet for a second.

“It’s fine. I already gave up on that hobby.”

Julian glanced at the fresh lilies on the table, probably thinking I wasn’t actually telling the truth.

He was about to persuade me when he suddenly noticed that the boxes seemed to contain only his things, so he instinctively changed the topic.

“Why are they only moving my stuff? What about your stuff?”

“I’ve already taken them.”

He took it to mean my things were already at the new house. He didn’t ask more.

He stood up to pour some water, and told the movers what to do.

“Label everything clearly, don’t put things in the wrong rooms after delivering them.”

I watched him quietly, swallowing back the words I wanted to say.

Ile didn’t need to worry about them making mistakes-everything in those boxes was his.

Once it was all sorted, he helped me downstairs.

As soon as we stepped out of the elevator, we ran stright into Elizabeth and her brother Ethan Osborne.

All four of us froze.

Julian panicked. He dropped my hand, stepped forward, and stood slightly in front of me.

“Why are you guys here?”

Ethan raised an eyebrow. “Lizzie wanted to see your new place. I hadn’t been here either, so I asked your parents for the address. Surprise.”

Elizabeth’s eyes locked on me.

She had seen me twice before. Once at the law firm, and once outside the bar.

Her strong intuition made her curious about my identity, so she smiled and tested the waters.

“Jules, who’s this lady?”

It was rare for Julian to fall silent, as if still thinking about how to introduce me. I stayed calm, and even extended my hand politely.

“Amelia Leighton. Mr. Cohen and I were college classmates. I’m in the middle of a divorce, so I came to ask for advice. Didn’t expect him to be moving today. Bad timing.”

My words brought Julian back to reality. He glanced at me guiltily, then followed along with my explanation and introduced everyone.

Everything seemed normal, but Elizabeth still looked suspicious.

With people around, she couldn’t ask further so she told Ethan to help with boxes instead.

Then she came over to me and started chatting.

“Lia, why are you getting divorced?”

I didn’t expect her to be this straightforward. I froze for a few seconds, then smiled.

“My husband’s in love with someone else.”
