Refusing To Divorce (Julia and Harry)
Refusing 44

Chapter 44

Stanled by Harry's fotense demeanor, Valerie hid behind Julia. She found Harry strangely familiar but was more concerned about Arya's condition, gripping lola's clothing tightly

Julia reassured Valerie with a comforting smile before turning to face Harry, who had rushed over. "Arya suddenly and I accidentally pushed her."

"Is that all?" Harry was skeptical. His doubting look made Julia give a cold laugh under the tension.

y came to me looking for trouble,

"If you don't believe me, anything I say will be pointless. Maybe you should ask Arya when she comes

to." Julia looked Harry straight in the eye. She knew she hadn't done anything wrong, especially since Arya was the one who started it. At most, she was just defending herself. As for Valerie, she didn't see Valerie lift a finger. Realizing Harry didn't believe her, Julia simply went silent, casting him a fleeting glance and then looking away indifferently as their eyes met.

After a moment, Harry asked again. "Why would Arya come after your"

"Because of you, of course. She asked when I'd divorce you and why I agreed to it but haven't gone through with it" Julia didn't shy away from saving this in Front of Valerie.

Hearing this, Valerie was completely battled, her gaze locked on Julia. "Isn't Julia single? When did she get married?" she wondered.

Valerie couldn't help but give Harry a few more looks, and to her great surprise, she recognized him, Julia's husband is Harry!' she exclaimed inwardly.

Valerie didn't dare utter a word, and Julis kept looking calmly at Harry

Finally, the light outside the emergency room went out. The doctor came to Harry and briefed him on Arya's condition.

Julia and Valerie stood to the side, feeling gout of place. Valerie tugged Julia's clothes. "What's the deal between that woman and Harry?"

Valerie's voice was soft but still carried in the silent hallway right after the doctor finished speaking

Hearing her, Harry turned to look at Julia, seemingly waiting for an answer. Valerie, intimidated by Harry's gaze, quickly shut her lips, hiding again behind Julia.

They're just trends." Without even glancing at Harry, Julia added, "Childhood friends, to be exact"

Arya was shifted to a ward, Julia, together with Valerie, went to the room to replace Harry already sitting by the bed, absorbed in Arya's pale face and not looking up at their arrival. Julia was used to such scenes, "Arya's stable, thankfully

lly. If there'd been an issue, what do you think I should do?" Harry asked Julia.

Julia responded without hesitation, "If Arya hadn't come to me, would any of this happen? There's always a lead-up to these events, and if we're looking for a cause, it's that you didn't clear things up with her." Julia's tone was steady, her attitude making it clear Arya being in the bed had little to do with her.

Valerie tugged at Julia's hand; despite feeling Harry's intense pressure, she couldn't help but speak up for Julia. "It was Miss Hill who started it Julia was just defending herself, and she didn't go overboard or anything" Only when Harry heard Valerie speak did he turn to look at her. He never really noticed she was there before. "Is this your friend?" he asked Julia.

Julia glanced at Valerie. "Yeah, If you have any questions, ask me directly. This has nothing to do with Valerie. She knew Harry didn't believe her and didn't want to argue. Even if he thought Arya's heart condition was her fault, she didn't feel the need to justify herself She turned to Valerie and said, "Valerie, no need to explain on my behalf. Harry has made up his mind; nothing we say will change what he thinks is my fault.

Ready to leave, she took Valerie by the hand and stared at Harry. "We're not needed here. I'm sure Arya won't want to see me when she wakevi we'll head out. If you've got any issues, come to me directly."

Without giving Harry a chance to respond, Julia quickly left the hospital with Valerie

Outside the hospital, Valerie hurried to keep up with Julia. Julia walked fast ahead, determined not to waste

another minute in that place. Harry's such an idiot. Why can't he trust me? Does he honestly think I hit Arya first? Why would I ever do that? Knowing she holds a unique place in Harry's heart, picking a fight with her would just be asking for trouble, she thought in anger. After storming off for a while, Julia slowed down, noticing Valerie hadn't caught up.

When Valerie reached Julia, she asked. "That was Harry just now, right?" Chapter 44

Jilia nodded. "Yeal"

"Oh my, so you're the one who married Harry, huh? And here I was, badmouthing him to your face, calling him a playboy? Valerie's eyes widened in shock as she looked at a frustrated Julia. "But is that woman who came to pick a fight at your place really Harry's childhood friend?"

"Yeah, his childhood sweetheart. Thinking about the skeptical look Harry had given her, Julia sneered. "She's the one Harry cares about the most

Valerie clapped a hail over her mouth. "You mean his first love!"

Julia let out a cold laugh. If Lucia was cool with Arya, Harry probably would've divorced me and married her already. No, maybe he wouldn't have tied the knot with me, she thought. Feeling sorry for Julia, Valerie said, "Harry's got a flame from his past, Why marry you just to hurt your Having someone else in his heart but still marrying you, he truly is a jerk. Already not a fan of Harry, Valerie was now even more disgusted. Julia, why don't you just divorce him?"

"It's not that simple to get a divorce," said Julia. She would love nothing more than to get away from Harry as soon as possible. But Harry just wasn't willing to let go, and she could do nothing Puzzled, Valerie suggested, "Julia, maybe you should replace yourself another man?

Julia looked at Valerie. That sounds good. If Harry can have someone else, so can 1, she thought

Seeing Julia's agreeing look. Valerie panicked and whispered, "I was just kidding. But if you do end up replaceing yourself one, don't say it was my idea. I don't want Harry coming after me." Julia patted Valerie on the shoulder, reassuring her, "Don't worry. For now, I just want to focus on my future. Men are out of my consideration"
