Lahat ng Kabanata ng After Our Divorce, She Finally Lost Sleep: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 9

Quinn scoffed when she heard the hard edge in my voice. After all, she had always believed that as long as I was living off her dime, there was no way I would ever actually divorce her. "You ought to think this through. Once you leave me, you won't even be able to feed yourself!" I smiled and shook my head. She clearly didn't want me to leave, yet she still acted as though she were above me. "Don't waste your time worrying about me. Go enjoy your perfect life with Oliver." Quinn and I were high school classmates. We didn't have some grand or cinematic love story. She told me that she felt an instant connection the moment she first laid eyes on me. I, on the other hand, found her cute.After graduating, I gave up the opportunity to further my studies at Cedarbourne and enrolled in an ordinary university with her. I had a huge fight with my family over it and eventually cut ties with them. Back then, she was thoughtful and understanding; she worked herself to the bone to earn mo

"You must be joking, right?" Quinn's voice was filled with disbelief. It felt like years had passed since the last time I went into shock. Quinn hung up on the doctor and eyed me skeptically. "You really are something, Julian; you even managed to get the doctors at the hospital to collude with you. Is this your latest stunt to get my attention?"Her reaction was so absurd that it was almost comical. When she learned that I had gone into shock, her immediate reaction was to think that it was a joke. She even thought it was all made up, going so far as to claim that I'd colluded with the doctor. I honestly wondered if she was even using her brain. "Regardless of whether you're ill or not, I want you to step up and take care of Oliver's situation. I'll forgive all your mistakes." I took a deep breath, shook my head, and refused. "I'm afraid I can't do that. As you know, all I've done in the last few years is cook and brew traditional medicine."Quinn's eyes flickered when she he

Oliver used to bend over backward for Quinn, showering her with sweet nothings and treating her with nothing but tenderness and consideration. Now that he was in trouble, not only did she refuse to help him, but she even snapped at him.He said, "Ms. White… I only did this for you and your company. He has no idea how much these contracts actually mean for the business!" "That's a matter between us. You're an outsider, so you should butt out!" That word "outsider" struck a nerve. Oliver flew into a rage. "I see how it is. I'm an outsider now, is that it? If I'm going down, I'll take you down with me!" The two of them got into a heated argument. I had time to kill, so I sat back and enjoyed the show.Just then, I received a text message from my newly hired assistant, Korra Smith. "I found a special remedy for asthma, Mr. Heathcliff. People claim that it works wonders. I left it on your desk. Be sure to drink it!"A warm feeling filled my heart. As it turned out, there really was

I slammed the door shut, but knowing Quinn's stubborn streak, she wasn't about to give up that easily. As expected, in the days that followed, every time I stepped outside, I would see her waiting downstairs for me. Even when I treated her like she wasn't there and refused to say a single word to her, she still wouldn't leave. As far as I was concerned, from the moment she had played poker with Oliver at that hotel, she had already become a stranger to me. Ironically, when I wanted to see her in the past, she would brush me off, claiming that she was too busy with work. Now that I didn't want to see her, she wanted to be attached to my hip. …I heard from some friends in the industry that Quinn's company had descended into chaos, mainly because Quinn, the CEO, had stopped giving a damn about business and was spending her days stalking me. Oliver was absolutely furious. The prize he thought he had in the bag had slipped right through his fingers. Every single day, he'd beg her
