Chapter 101 How About We Get a DivorceÂ
Julian handed Rosalie the umbrella, his voice rough and strained.Â
“Hold this.”Â
Rosalie had no choice but to follow his request. She held the umbrella with one hand, while her other arm slipped around his neck.Â
Julian rose effortlessly and stepped into the pouring rain.Â
She could tell he barely used any strength at all.Â
The only sound that surrounded them was the steady patter of rain on the umbrella, cuttingÂ
them off from the world outside.Â
Rosalie’s heart couldn’t help but race.Â
Julian’s back was broad and firm. Even through the thin fabric of his clothes, she could feel his defined muscles beneath.Â
He radiated a quiet, unwavering masculinity. Simply being near him brought her a sense of comfort and security.Â
Though Lucian had held her like this before, she had never felt this secure in his arms.Â
After a long stretch of silence, Rosalie couldn’t hold her thoughts inÂ
anymore.Â
“I’m sorry for what happened that night,” she whispered.Â
Julian stayed silent.Â
Rosalie couldn’t help but assume he was blaming her.Â
After all, no respectable woman would end up in a situation like this. He probably thought she wasn’t worthy of him anymore.Â
“How about… We get a divorce?”Â
Julian stopped in his tracks.Â
Rainwater trickled off the edge of the umbrella, forming a shimmering curtain before his eyes.Â
“Why would you say that?” he asked.Â
Rosalie’s fingertips clenched tightly, but she forced the words out.Â
“I never meant to deceive you. I broke my promise. You deserve someone better than me.‘Â
Julian was considerate, attentive, gentle, and diligent. He embodied nearly every virtue a manÂ

could possess.Â
2/3Â
She, on the other hand, had devoted more than half of her 20 years to Lucian. In her past life, she had given him everything.Â
She was broken and flawed.Â
She didn’t want such a perfect man to be destroyed by her.Â
Julian said nothing, his steps unwavering as they pressed on.Â
With each step, Rosalie’s heart sank deeper.Â
It was obvious he was giving divorce serious thought.Â
Rosalie took a deep breath. “But… I seem to have lost my marriage certificate.”Â
Worried he might misinterpret her words, she hurriedly added, “Don’t get the wrong idea. I didn’t lose it on purpose. It was stolen. As soon as I find it, I’ll go to the courthouse with you.”Â
“I lost mine too,” Julian said quietly.Â
Rosalie froze. “What? That’s such a strange coincidence!”Â
Beneath the dim streetlight, Julian’s profile looked tense and sharp.Â
“My parents wanted to see it, so I threw it away,” he confessed.Â
Rosalie was stunned into silence.Â
After a pause, she managed to ask, “…Where did you throw it?”Â
For a brief moment, she believed she might still be able to get it back.Â
“Into Ashfall River.”Â
As Rosalie pictured the rushing current, her hope slowly began to fade.Â
Resting her head on Julian’s back, she let out a helpless sigh. “So, how are we supposed to get a divorce now?”Â
“I don’t know.”Â
“Sorry for wasting your time. I’ll ask around later. Marriage certificates can usually be reissued.Â
Julian’s deep voice suddenly broke the silence.Â
“I forgot to tell you something. Before joining the Harborview Fire Department, I served in the special forces. Divorce isn’t allowed unless I’m guilty of serious misconduct.”Â
Rosalie’s breath caught. “You were in special forces? That’s amazing!”Â

As if a light bulb had switched on, she cautiously suggested, “Hey, what if you hit me a few times? Domestic violence should count as serious misconduct, right? We could definitely get aÂ
divorce!”Â
Julian chuckled, a teasing edge in his voice. “I’d probably get a disciplinary warning too. Rosalie, are you trying to get me kicked out of my job?”Â
She swallowed hard, struggling to speak. “So… What if we can’t get a divorce then?”Â
The gentle patter of rain mingled with the silence.Â
After a long pause, Julian’s steady voice rang out.Â
“Is divorce really necessary?”Â
