My Sugar and Your Spice (Amelia and Leo)

Chapter 383 Better Than a Dog

"He didn't say a word to me when such a big thing happened to you. How could I not divorce him?" Julia shouted.

"So… You're doing this for me?"

"You're my best friend. You went to such a dangerous place, and he should have accompanied you—no matter what!" Julia's voice still sounded angry.

Julia was dumbfounded. "Then I'll give him the cold shoulder for a few days."
