Refusing To Divorce (Julia and Harry)

Harry glanced at the divorce papers with a nonchalant air. He strolled over to the sofa, sat down, and looked up at Julia. "So, what do you want to talk about?"

Julia frowned, wondering if he was deliberately ignoring the divorce

papers. Harry had always spoken to her as if he were somehow above her, making every conversation feel like a report from a subordinate. Their relationship had never shown even the slightest trace of marital warmth.

Steeling herself, Julia began expressionlessly, "Rose Clark, the woman you met at the bar three months ago, claimed she was pregnant." She paused briefly before continuing. I gave her money to get an abortion. You'll need to pay me back for that." Harry's usually impassive face showed a flicker of annoyance. "Is that all?" he asked.

Julia's lips twisted into a wry smile. "Well, it would have been your 18th child, another heir to the Wright legacy, right?"

Harry responded coolly, "I never slept with her."

After years of marriage to Harry, she almost forgot that, aside from Arya, no one else really mattered to him. As his wife in name only, Julia had long learned to overlook his numero People often whispered about Harry, the ultimate playboy of Orepoli City, who flirted with many but committed to none.

Tragically, Arya, the only woman he deemed suitable to carry on his lineage, was unable to have children. If not for this, Julia wouldn't be stuck in a loveless marriage, merely playing the role of his wife.

Julia let out a sigh, her smile tinged with determination. "Alright, let's talk about us getting a divorce." She locked eyes with Harry, whose gaze was cold and detached. "We agreed that our marriage would end when Arya came back. Now that she's here, it's time to honor ou Harry remained silent, studying Julia intently for the first

After a

Julia looked confused. "Why? Arya's back and healthy. Aren't you eager to marry her?"

Julia's frown deepened, her tone serious as she asked, "And what if I refuse?"

Harry stood up and pulled a stack of papers from a shelf behind him, placing them on the desk. "Just a few days ago, your father secured a 100-million- dollar investment from me under your name. Mrs. Wright, you might want to consider whether you can afford to walk away from that."
