Remarry?

Chapter 61

Ever since Julie popped the divorce question to Kieran, she never gave a second thought to the idea of

them patching things up.

She had no clue Kieran was on the other end of the phone, so her response was candid, “If there was

any chance of us remarrying, we wouldn’t have split up like that in the first place.”

Kieran frowned at her reply

Feeling like she’s oversharing to a stranger, Julie decided to drop her phone.

Daphne, freshly done with doing the dishes, plopped down next to Julie, “To be honest, other than Mr.

Hernandez, I can’t think of anyone else who’d suddenly offer to cover Sansa’s medical bilis”

Daphne originally planned to pick up Julie from Accolade Law Firm after work, but with Julie fainted

during work, she rushed to the hospital.

Stubborn Daphne insisted on staying the night at the hospital with Julie. Julie couldn’t stop her, so she

just went with it.

At that moment, Julie’s phone buzzed.

She looked down and saw a new message from Ivan’s dad.

He wrote, “I beg to differ”

Julie replied, “Why so?”

Seeing Julie glued to her phone, Daphne leaned in to take a peek.

But Julie flipped her phone over instinctively, dodging Daphne’s sudden attack.

Daphne immediately gave Julie a look, “What are you up to? You got some juicy secret?”

“You just startled me!” Julie showed her phone to prove her innocence, “Didn’t I tell you about a cute

kid I met named Ivan? I ran into him again at the hospital today.”

Julie filled Daphne in on what happened with Ivan today, then Daphne fixed her gaze on the phone

screen, “So this guy is the deadbeat dad that cute kid was talking about?”

Julie didn’t deny it.

Daphne frowned and looked at the phone screen seriously. “Doesn’t seem like it! He’s contemplating

whether to remarry his ex–wife.”

“Remarry?” Julie snatched her phone back from Daphne, then saw a new message from the guy.

He wrote, “Our differences lie in the fact that you divorced because you saw no chance of remarrying,

while I separated from my wife because I believe we’ll get back together in the future.”

Daphne chimed in, “Sounds like this guy still has feelings for his ex–wife? He can’t be as bad as the kid

said! After all, loyal men are hard to come by these days”

At that, Daphne suddenly turned to Julie and said seriously, “Speaking of which, it just hit me.”

Julie replied on her phone, “So, are you considering remarriage?”

Then she turned to Daphne, “What just hit you?”

“I just remembered a loyal man!” Daphne grabbed Julie’s arm excitedly.

Daphne’s grip hurt Julie a bit.

Julie asked casually, “Who?”

“Elliot! Hasn’t he been head over heels for you since college? And he even wanted to be with you

despite the Sanches family’s objection. Could he have been the one who silently handled Sansa’s

issue?” Daphne asked.

Julie was taken aback, then she laughed and shook her head, dismissing the guess, “Elliot hasn’t

shown up since he saw Kieran staying over at my place when he brought me breakfast last time. It’s

unlikely that he’s involved this time.”

“Who knows if he’s been laying low to gather strength? After all, you rejected him so harshly. He needs

time to recover.” Daphne shrugged it off.

Julie chuckled, not knowing how to respond to Daphne’s wild conjecture.

Luckily, Daphne didn’t expect a response from Julie. She got up and headed to the large sofa nearby,

“I’m going to sleep first. You know, Mr. Hernandez may be a jerk, but he sure is generous! The facilities

in this VIP ward are great. The sofa here is even softer than my bed. Good night.”

“Good night.” Julie turned off the light, smiling.

Her phone buzzed again. Julie buried her head in the blanket and checked the message.

Julie had asked him if he was considering remarriage, and now he gave Julie a definite answer, “I’m

willing to pay any price to remarry my wife?”

Willing to pay any price to remarry…

What does that prove? That he truly loves Ivan’s mother?

After hesitating for a few seconds, all she could reply was, “Good luck.”

She thought the topic would end there, but to her surprise, he quickly sent another message. “But she’s

ignoring me now.”

Julie was speechless
