Remarried After I Secretly Divorced the CEO novel Chapter 18

Chapter 18

Autumn glanced at Alex, then pointed to the car behind him.

“Mr. Song, that’s my car right behind you. Mind stepping aside?”

Alex was speechless.

While he stood there stunned, Autumn walked around him, got into her car, started the engine, and drove off without a second of hesitation.

She didn’t even pause and glance back.

Was this really the same Autumn who used to cling to Julian every time she saw him?

Or was this some new tactic–playing it cool to get his attention in reverse?

Just then, Julian’s phone rang.

It was Luna.

He seemed to have just woken up and squinted as he answered.

Luna’s sweet voice came through, “My brother just heard about the project developed by Z. He wants to speak with you personally. Can you come over now?”

Julian rubbed his tired forehead. “Send me the location. I’ll head over.”

“Okay,” Luna replied softly.

After ending the call, she sent him the address.

Julian rolled down the window and told Alex, “Drive to Royal Crest Lounge.”

Alex replied quickly and jumped into the driver’s seat.

The car pulled out of the underground garage moments later.

Back at home, after dinner, Autumn went to the bedroom and continued working on her speech.

The seminar was tomorrow, and she needed to finalize her draft.

She sat at her desk, typing for hours–writing, deleting, and rewriting–until she finally produced something she was satisfied with.

After printing the speech, she glanced at the time on her phone.

It was already ten.

She quickly got up to grab her pajamas and take a shower.

When she came out, she went downstairs and tore off the calendar page for the 8th.

Another day gone, only twenty–two days left.

She grabbed a glass and filled it with water, then took out a pill bottle and shook one tablet into her hand.

Just then, she heard the front door open.

Julian had returned, reeking of alcohol.

He looked like he had just come from a business dinner.

Seeing her holding the bottle of pills, he asked casually, “You feeling unwell?”

Autumn tossed the pill into her mouth and took a long drink of water. “It’s nothing. Just the usual acting up again. It’s just a painkiller.”

Julian changed into his slippers and headed straight upstairs without asking where she felt unwell or even glancing at the bottle in her hand.

If he had looked down even once, he would’ve seen the label clearly marked as cancer medication, but he didn’t.

He had no interest in anything about her.

He didn’t even care enough to look.

Autumn put the bottle back into her bag, poured another glass of water, and went upstairs as well.

The next day, Autumn was up early again.

Julian’s shoes were no longer on the rack, which meant he hadn’t spent the night at home.

She barely spared it a glance before getting on with her day.

She spent a long time in the walk–in closet before finally settling on an outfit.

A light blue blouse paired with an ivory suit skirt, along with a touch of natural makeup and a pair of earrings she hadn’t worn in ages.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Autumn was quite satisfied.

Julian never liked it when she dressed too formally, so these clothes had been tucked away for a long time.

The seminar was scheduled to begin at two in the afternoon.

After lunch, Autumn headed out early.

The event was being held at the Northhaven Convention Center, and by the time she arrived, the place was already packed,

Two security guards were stationed at the entrance,

Everyone had to show their invitation and scan the code to get in.

Autumn was looking down, rummaging through her bag for the invitation when a familiar yet distant voice

sounded above her.

“Autumn? What are you doing here?”

She turned her head and saw Simon and Hector standing there, with Luna trailing just behind them.
