Shameless Woman

[Chapter 15]

"Why does it become a problem when I say no to accompanying my husband to see his secret lover? Don't I have the right to say no anymore? Look, David.

You are free to do whatever you like with Veronica.

But please, don't force me to do such a thing, okay? Don't you think you are being cruel? What did I ever do to deserve this?" Julie broke free from David directly.

Her heart ached so much as if a million ants were biting it at the same time.

All she ever did was love this man.

Was that a crime now? For the longest time, she was always obedient to him.

She said yes to his every whim.

Was that why David took her for a fool? Tears streamed down Julie's face and there was nothing she could do to stop them.

She was so pathetic! Julie had reached her breaking point.

If she didn't let it all out now, she was surely going to lose her mind.

A trace of surprise appeared on David's handsome face as he glanced at Julie.

"Are you jealous?" David raised his tone deliberately as he spoke.

Meanwhile, Julie lowered her eyes.

She was well aware that their marriage was ending soon.

What right did she have to be jealous now? After biting her lower lip hard, she replied angrily, "Of course not! I'm just reminding you that our marriage hasn't been annulled yet.

So, you shouldn't go too far.

How would you like it if 1 found another man and slept..." "Julie!" David interrupted Julie with his piercing eyes.

His eyes suddenly darkened.

When he leaned over, his faint scent wafted into Julie's nose.

"Hmm..." Julie was forced to swallow the words at the tip of her tongue.

David had just kissed her out of the blue! Her eyes widened in shock and her mind went blank.

"Julie." David stopped the kiss abruptly and called out her name in a hoarse voice.

It sounded like music to her ears and made her wet.

Julie continued to gawk in a daze.

With his eyebrows raised, David covered her eyes and said, "Hey, you need to blink." His lips stretched in a smile as he watched her face.

Gosh, she looked so innocent and cute! David looked down at her bosom and imagined taking her here and now.

Without further ado, David pinched Julie's chin and resumed the kiss.

He sucked and nibbled on Julie's delicate lips as if he was tasting some new delicacy.

David was a great kisser.

He kissed her so passionately, yet so rough.

His kiss rid her of all her senses.

The air in the car became so hot in the blink of an eye.

The only thing holding the two of them back was the seatbelts.

David leaned toward Julie little by little while kissing her more aggressively.

A harsh nibble on her lips sent a warning signal to Julie's brain.

She reached out her hand to push him away.

But the attempt was in vain.

The kiss lasted for a long time.

Just as she was on the brink of going out of breath, David finally let go of her.

He said in a tempting voice, "Now, are you going to talk nonsense again?" The sight of her swollen and red lips made David very satisfied.

He just showed her not to ever mention going to meet another man.

In fact, the rough kiss was just the tip of the iceberg.

Julie blinked several times.

Her mind was still in a haze.

Why did David kiss her again? Even after signing the divorce agreement! What was he up to? David reached out to wipe the tears from her flushed cheeks.

His voice came out so gentle.

"Let's get you home." Hearing that, Julie turned her face away in disgust and even shifted away from him like he was some plague.

"Our marriage ts about to end.

Don't do that again," she warned solemnly.

As far as she was concerned, he had made his choice.

He shouldn't be kissing her anymore.

What the hell did he have in mind? To make her his sidepiece? Looking at her teary eyes, David suddenly said ina low voice, "I'm sorry." Julie clenched her fists silently.

Strangely, his apology only put more weight on her chest.

"All I want from you is your love.

Since you can't give me that, you should take your sympathy and shove it where the sun doesn't shine!" Julie said in her head.

After a moment of silence, she spoke up calmly.

"Don't take your grandfather's words too seriously.

As an adult, I have to be independent.

You don't have to look after me all the time like a child." David frowned and said, "Julie, even if we are no longer a couple, you'll always be my family.

I'll continue to take care of you like I always have." For some reason, his scent filled the air again.

Julie knew that she had to stop thinking about him.

She couldn't continue lying to herself.

If all David could give her was his sympathy, then she didn't want it.

Julie said in a hoarse voice, "No need, but thanks.

It's best we cut all ties with each other after the divorce." She knew she would be signing up for emotional torture if she remained in touch with him after their marriage ended.

"Julie..." David began with a frown, but was interrupted by the sound of his ringtone.

"Let's go.

Your beloved is waiting for you," Julie urged calmly.

The rest of the ride was silent.

As soon as the car pulled up in front of the apartment building in Crystal Bay, Julie got out and walked away without looking back.

There was no sound of restarting the engine even when she entered the apartment.

Julie couldn't figure out why David was acting this way.

Shouldn't he be in a hurry to meet his first and only love? Anyway, to hell with it! She was going to divorce him no matter what it was.

It was the only way she could save herself from a lifetime supply of heartbreak.

In other words, the sooner she got divorced, the better for her.

The next day, Julie spent the whole day at home.

On Sunday morning, she was asked out by Nicole.

The two friends wandered around on the streets for a while.

Then, Nicole suggested they go to a spa.

Afraid that some of the products would be harmful to the baby, Julie opted out.

She decided to go to a shopping mall nearby to kill time as she waited for Nicole.

When Julie passed by a maternal and infant store, she saw an image of a baby on a large screen.

The baby was so cute.

Julie paused and stepped into the store involuntarily.

The shop assistant greeted her warmly and asked, "Good morning, miss.

What would you like me to help you with?" "No, thanks.

I'll just take a look around first." Julie had no makeup on now.

Her eyes were so twinkly and her skin was popping.

She looked like a college student, so the shop assistant thought Julie had come here to get a gift for someone.

She smiled and said, "Well, this area is for the general products.

You can choose the products by yourself and put them in a basket.

The checkout counter is right over there which is very convenient with the machines.

We will send you the books about pregnancy for free if you place an order today." After the brief introduction, the shop assistant bowed and walked away.

Julie had a look at all kinds of clothes on the shelves.

Most of the baby wears came in pink and blue.

The sight of all these cute clothes filled her heart with a strange warmth.

Now, she realized that she was becoming a mother for real.

Julie rubbed her belly and wondered what gender the baby was.

If it was a boy, he would look like David...

A sense of bitterness rose in Julie's heart all of a sudden.

The child's resemblance to David would most likely not change a thing.

That man was obsessed with Veronica.

Not to spoil her mood, Julie waved those thoughts aside.

She picked out a few clothes from the shelves.

She then paid the bill and went out of the store.

After taking a few steps, she heard a familiar voice.

Julie turned her head and saw a tall man standing in front of a jewelry store.

She could recognize that broad back even in her dreams.

It was David! Driven by the joy of shopping for her unborn child, Julie didn't think twice before she began walking toward David.

She parted her lips to say something when a female voice sounded.

"David." Julie froze on the spot when she saw a woman in a blue dress appear by David's side. 

Lowering his head, David looked at the woman and asked gently, "Are you done?" "Yes, thanks for coming with me.

You are such a darling!" The woman turned around as she spoke.

It was none other than the fragile Veronica.

The shop assistant handed the gift bag to Veronicaand said with a smile, "Ma'am, you are so lucky.

Your husband is so handsome and caring." The smile on Julie's face disappeared in an instant as she stood there motionlessly.

The shop assistant said David was Veronica's husband? Did they act all lovey-dovey? Oh, they were already acting like a couple even before getting married? Suddenly, Julie felt very dizzy and her vision became blurry.

She wanted to leave immediately, but her feet became too heavy.

Bang! The shopping bag in her hand hit the floor.

Everything she bought was scattered on the floor.

"Julie!" Veronica, who had just sighted Julie, called out.

"What a coincidence!" David also looked in her direction and raised his brows in surprise.

What was Julie doing here? Julie hurriedly squatted and stuffed all the baby clothes into the shopping bag.

At this time, David came over.

His tall figure and majestic walk made it look like he had just walked out of a painting.

Heads turned in his direction.

Walking over, David bent down to pick up the book on the ground and wanted to pass it to Julie.

It was the exact book introducing the knowledge on pregnancy which she just received from the saleswoman.

Julie's heart jolted.

"What's this for?" David glanced at the book cover and tried to flip it open.

However, Julie snatched it off his hands.

"Nothing." Julie threw the book into the bag immediately.

A trace of suspicion flashed through David's eyes.

He got even more curious.

When he looked up and saw her pale face, he frowned and asked, "Are you under the weather?" As he spoke, David reached out his hand to touch her forehead, but Julie suddenly stepped back as if his hand was stained with poop.

Veronica, who was standing on the side, saw what happened.

A hint of cold hatred flashed in her eyes.

Her eyes narrowed.

And the next second, she moaned pitifully and collapsed into David's arms.

"Hey, are you all right?" David's voice was so gentle.

Veronicasmiled weakly and said, "I promised to take a walk with you, and now | am already exhausted.

How useless of me! I'm afraid we have to change plans." "Wait a second, I'll get the wheelchair." After saying that, David helped Veronicato sit on a sofa in the VIP lounge nearby.

Before rushing out, David walked to Julie and said, "Don't go anywhere.

I'll be back in a jiffy." Veronica's face darkened when she heard his words.

Once David left, Veronicaimmediately stood up and walked up to Julie.

She said with an unfriendly
