Chapter 361 Feeling Sad When You Lose Someone

From the sound of it, Elijah seemed to be in low spirits. Hence, Courtney teased him on purpose to liven up the mood. “Duh, I know it’s you. It’s not like there’s no caller ID. We still have to end this nicely even though we’re divorcing, right?”

“Yeah, let’s end this nicely.” He chuckled.

After a moment of silence, he said softly, “I know Lilian brought you to the place where you used to stay. Please don’t take it to heart. She’s never done something so outrageous before.”

“It’s fine. She probably thought it would be more convenient for me to stay there. I’m more curious to know if you penalized her for doing so. You didn’t, right?”

“I did. I suspended her for a month.”

“Dude, can’t you be more forgiving?” She put her palm on her head. “She’s been with you for almost eight years. Why are you being so harsh over such a small matter?”

“She requested it.”

“Huh?” She gave up. “How stubborn. She’s really something, isn’t she?”

After chatting for a while, she finally hung up the phone. As she recalled her conversation while sitting at the side of the bed, she sighed.

 

Meanwhile, Alexander was staring at her from the laptop screen. Seeing this, he questioned, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling guilty after taking your ex-husband’s call?”

Stunned, she realized that the video call was still on. “Were you listening to us the whole time?”

“Mm-hmm.” He nodded. “End this nicely?” he said unhappily through gritted teeth.

“How else should we end this?” Grabbing her neck, she joked, “Should I pick a fight with him all the way to the notary office?”

“You’re speechless, huh? You must be really free since you’re picking on me. Aren’t you busy
