SWNOVELS Chapter 46
Chapter 46
Julie was quite good at taking a jab, but Kieran just smiled it off every time. In a blink, when Kieran was off guard, Julie snatched
his phone and hung up
his call.
Kieran didn’t take it easy. Julie wanted to snatch back the phone, but she knew she was no match for him. So, she just quietly
resumed her meal.
In their marital life, Julie had learned to put up with him and adapt.
Kieran casually unlocked Julie’s phone without a passcode, then dialed her number with his phone. Hearing the busy tone, he
knew he’d been blocked by Julie. No surprise there.
Kieran removed his number from Julie’s blocklist, labeled his contact as ‘Ex–husband, and handed back the phone.
Seeing Ex–husband on her screen, Julie turned green with infuriation. “What the hell, Kieran?”
“Just like this, you won’t be able to scam anyone anymore,” Kieran said nonchalantly.
Scam? He was giving her too much credit! Was he implying that she deliberately crashed his car yesterday, trying to get close to
him?
Julie tosses her phone on the table, staring at Kieran. “I’m broke, you can only wait for my accidental compensation
“You mean, you’d rather die than give in?” Kieran chuckled, picking up his cup for a sip of water.
Julie wanted to tell him she had just drank from that cup, but she held back. If he wanted to drink, why should she care?
“Give me some time, I’ll pay for the car repair, she said.
“How long is ‘some time? A lifetime?” he retorted.
Julie snorted, “Didn’t expect Mr. Hernandez to be this naive, believing in ‘a lifetime“.”
After a moment of silence, Julie looked at Kieran. “I’ll pay you back, even if I have to sell my blood, or myself. Give me your bank
account, I’ll transfer the money when I have it. I’m broke now, there’s no point pushing me.”
Julie was usually mild–mannered, but when pushed to the edge, she could go to the extreme. Kieran knew it. So he didn’t make
things harder for her, but he didn’t leave his bank account with her either. Instead he pulled out a bank card from his wallet and
handed it to Julie. “Deposit the money into this card when you have it.”
It was Kieran’s secondary card, with his name engraved on it, and no limit. He left the card and prepared to leave.
“Wait!” Julie suddenly stopped Kieran, asking. “What’s the password of the card?”
“The date of our divorce” After saying that, Kieran left Julie with his handsome back facing her.
Julie was dumbfounded for a while. Her phone had been ringing for quite some time, vibrating on the table.
After Daphne’s call was abruptly hung up, she grew worried and decided to call again. Julie pocketed the card and answered the
call.
*Julie, are you okay?” Daphne’s concerned voice was heartwarming.
“I’m fine, I was just fooling around.”
“Oh good, glad you’re okay” Daphne didn’t criticize her for the joke, instead, she said, “There’s an anniversary celebration at our
alma mater tomorrow
Would you
like to come with me? There will be lots of outstanding alumni, some will even give speeches. The news always makes a big fuss
about our alumni. I’m planning to go too. You know I just recovered from my illness, and I need someone to help me carry the
camera. You’re free now, right? I’ll pay you with the magazine’s budget, ok?”
“Sure but pay me a little extra, Julie agreed with a laugh.
