Do You Really Want to Divorce Me

Whenever Claire Bennett faced Julian Sterling now, she always had a very strange feeling. She had originally thought she'd adjusted her emotions pretty well, but after seeing Julian Sterling now, a trace of reluctance rose up in her again.

"Um... since you're not seriously hurt, then I'll head back first. I took time off to come out just now, and the new product launch is about to start soon. There's a lot of work at Maison Verne, and it's very busy."

After saying that, Claire Bennett turned around and tried to slip away.

Unexpectedly, after she had just taken two steps, someone grabbed her wrist.

She was suddenly yanked back with force, and then someone pulled her tightly into their arms. In an instant, her nose was filled with that familiar cool, clean scent.

Julian Sterling bent slightly as he held her, his head resting on her shoulder, as if he were deeply attached to her embrace.

A moment later, Claire Bennett heard Julian Sterling's low voice sound by her ear. "Claire, do you really want to divorce me?"

Do you really want to divorce me?

Those words crashed down on the tip of Claire Bennett's heart like a massive clap of thunder.

Her body trembled, and her whole person became agitated.

Who wanted to divorce him!

If she could, she definitely wouldn't want to divorce him. It was just that his aunt looked down on her and had even thrown her a check to make her leave.

And besides, he didn't like her, so he definitely wouldn't insist on standing by her.

Just like Tanya Sterling back then—if she and Julian Sterling were going to end up like Tanya Sterling and Ethan Sterling were now, then it would be better to stop here.

At least in the other person's memory, they would still be perfect, and it wouldn't get to the point where they never spoke to each other again until death.

Just as Claire Bennett was about to speak, she heard Julian Sterling let out a heavy sigh.

He said, "I wanted to tell you that I've been pretty busy with work lately, so I might not be able to go with you tomorrow to get the paperwork done."

Hearing Julian Sterling's words, Claire Bennett immediately said, "It's okay! Then we can wait until you're free!"

A wave of disappointment surged up in her heart. Just now, she'd thought Julian Sterling couldn't bear to part with her and wanted her not to get divorced. She hadn't expected it was only because he was busy with work.

Julian Sterling let go of Claire Bennett and said, "I'll drive you back."

"Aren't you taking Ruby Sterling? You probably don't have time, right?"

"She said just now that she had something to do and had to leave, so she doesn't need me to take her anymore." Julian Sterling lied without even blinking.

"Okay then."

Claire Bennett turned and walked outside. Unexpectedly, when she opened the door, three people suddenly tumbled in from outside.

Ruby Sterling was on the bottom, and on top of her were a strange middle-aged man and woman Claire Bennett had never seen before. The three people who had suddenly appeared gave her quite a scare.

"Ow! You're crushing me to death—get up already!"

The three of them scrambled clumsily to their feet. After Mr. Sterling and Mrs. Sterling got up, Ruby Sterling finally regained her freedom.

She smiled awkwardly. "Claire."

Claire Bennett looked at Ruby Sterling in confusion and asked, "Didn't Julian Sterling say just now that you had something to do and were leaving? You don't need to go anymore?"

Confusion showed in Ruby Sterling's eyes. When had she said she was leaving?

Her gaze caught Julian Sterling's look from behind, and Ruby Sterling suddenly understood. She quickly said, "Ah... oh, right, right, right, I was leaving. It's just that I saw you here, so I came over to say hi to you. I'll get going now."

After saying that, Ruby Sterling turned around pitifully.

No more good show to watch. Why was the one who got hurt always her?
