Remarried After I Secretly Divorced the CEO novel Chapter 197

And he had promised to take care of her for life.

Because of her family’s indifference, Autumn longed for warmth, for a home. She didn’t even think twice before saying yes.

But a lifetime was too long. Julian eventually couldn’t resist the temptations outside—he cheated on her with her stepsister.

Seeing Autumn’s eyes rimmed red, Simon felt a sudden stab in his chest, as if something flashed across his mind.

He reached out, wanting to comfort her, but Autumn easily avoided his touch.

Guilt that arrived late was worthless.

Besides, they weren’t truly guilty—just putting on an act in the moment. Once they left here, they’d go back to being Luna’s lapdogs.

She had no use for them anymore.

When Simon saw her step back, irritation replaced the flicker of remorse, and the guilt vanished.

With a cold snort, he retorted, “Back then, we asked you to return with us to the Lewis family, but you refused. Who’s to blame for that?

“You blame us for favoring Luna and neglecting you, but have you ever thought about your own problems?

“I remember you were obedient and sensible as a child, so why have you become like this now?”

Old habits die hard. Perhaps even as a child, Autumn was like this; they just hadn’t noticed.

With that thought, disappointment swept over him.

His sister should have been like Luna— gentle, considerate, understanding, always bringing them joy.

Who wouldn’t love a sister like that?
