Chapter 19: Shameless Ex-Husband
As the judge left the courtroom, Julian immediately approached Charlotte, who was about to leave.
"Charlotte, you still have a chance to return to me." He said, "We can start over, and I promise I will be a better person for you."
Charlotte glared at him, feeling disgusted with her soon-to-be ex-husband. "You’ve said those words hundreds of times, but it is nothing more than an empty promise."
Julian’s jaw clenched, but he forced a smile, trying to keep his composure. "This time I mean it, Charlotte. Look, I know I’ve made mistakes, but don’t let the people around you manipulate you into thinking I’m the enemy."
Charlotte raised an eyebrow and scoffed. "The only person manipulating me is you, Julian."
Julian raised his hand to touch Charlotte’s face. But before he could put his fingers on it, someone pushed him away. "Back off, Julian." Damon glared at him.
Julian stumbled slightly but quickly regained his balance. His eyes narrowed as he looked at his uncle. "She’s still my wife, so why can’t I touch her?"
Damon gritted his teeth, looking like he was trying his best not to punch Julian in the face in the courtroom. "She’s my mate now. If you hurt her, every werewolf in the Crimson Moon pack will come after you."
"Is that a threat?" The corner of Julian’s mouth lifted slightly. "My dear uncle, did you just threaten me? Hey, Mr. Anders, you have to take note of this!"
Damon’s face darkened further, his patience clearly reaching its limit. He took a step toward Julian. "This is not a threat, Julian. It’s something I will do if you dare to hurt Charlotte again."
"You scare me, uncle." Julian taunted him with a smile. "Do you think my father would let you hurt his only son?"
