Remarried After I Secretly Divorced the CEO novel Chapter 14

Chapter 14

Autumn froze for a second, not expecting Keith to go this far just because of a favor her uncle once did for him.

But a promise from the Sinclair heir wasn’t something just anyone could get.

Of course she had to take a chance like this.

Feeling a bit emotional, Autumn took out her phone, and the two of them exchanged contacts.

Keith glanced at his watch. “I’ve got something to take care of. I’ll head out first.”

With that, he got up and left, and Autumn left shortly after.

She stopped outside for a plate of pasta before heading home.

By the time she arrived, it was already past seven.

Zoe came over as soon as she saw her, handed her a pair of slippers, and said, “Ma’am, Mr. Carter is back. He’s upstairs waiting for dinner.”

Autumn paused while changing her shoes, then said, “I already ate. Both of you can eat without me.”

“Huh?” Zoe looked at her in surprise.

Usually on weekends, Autumn would cook personally and wait at home for her husband.

Even though he rarely came home to eat, she’d kept up the habit for years.

Now that she didn’t even cook and had eaten out instead, something clearly wasn’t right.

Just then, Julian came down the stairs in a grey set of loungewear.

Autumn acted like she didn’t see him.

After changing her shoes, she went straight to pour herself a glass of water.

She’d been out all afternoon without drinking anything and her mouth was dry.

Julian frowned slightly, but didn’t say anything and went to the dining room.

Zoe quickly brought out the dishes and set two places.

But Autumn didn’t even glance over.

She walked into the living room, tore off the calendar page marked “3,” crumpled it, and tossed it into the trash.

Another day gone.

The countdown was getting closer.

After that, she headed upstairs.

Every time she saw Julian now, she’d think of Luna’s smug face from earlier.

And just imagining what they’d done last night made her stomach churn.

Julian only glanced at Autumn’s back as Zoe spoke up to explain for her. “Sir, Mrs. Carter went out with a friend today. She already had dinner before coming home.

“She probably hasn’t been out in a while and got a bit tired from the day. Don’t take it to heart.”

“Mm.” Julian gave a brief response, then lowered his head and continued eating.

Upstairs, Autumn returned to the bedroom, took a shower, and went straight to bed.

She was so exhausted she didn’t even want to move.

After finishing his meal, Julian went upstairs and saw that the bedroom lights were off, so he didn’t disturb her.

He grabbed his car keys and left the house.

He had originally planned to finish work early and have dinner with Autumn, but she’d already eaten out and gone to bed early.

It had been two days, and she was still angry.

Julian wasn’t about to coddle her anymore.

He left without another word.

Feeling irritated, he drove aimlessly until he reached a secluded spot.

When the urge for a smoke hit him, he parked and lit a cigarette.

He rolled the window down for some air, and through the haze of smoke, he thought he saw Luna.

She was wearing a sheer, short dress with a cutout design across the chest.

When she bent over slightly, the pale curves of her chest were barely concealed.

The tight fit of the dress hugged her slim waist perfectly, showing off her figure.

Just one glance made Julian’s body tense.

His expression darkened, and he frowned. “Who told you to dress like this?”

Luna curved her lips into a seductive smile. “Don’t you like it, Julian?”

With her beauty right in front of him, her eyes shimmering and voice teasing, Julian quickly lost control.

He opened the car door and shoved her into the backseat.

Once the door shut, he pressed down over her.

Luna pushed against him with a playful grin. “What’s the rush? Let’s play a little game.”

“Not interested.”

Julian’s eyes were dark with desire, already impatient to tame this little vixen right here in the car.

“Don’t rush. I prepared a bigger surprise for you today. You’re going to love it.”

Being turned down twice, Julian lost the mood.
