Chapter 6 Right before I boarded my flight to London , I posted one last thing . ] Took a photo of the signed divorce papers . [ ] [ @WrenHayes : Some people were asking what I had Garrett sign in that video . Divorce papers.1 [ Sorry for lying earlier . No secret boyfriend . Just a husband I was married to for five years . EX - husband now . ] ] ] [ The apartment was mine . I bought it . Put his name on it because I'm an idiot . ] ] Posted it . Then turned off my phone and headed to the gate . ] What I didn't expect ? Running into someone I knew on the plane . [ ] " Wren . What're the odds ? " 人 Julian , Julian , baseball cap pulled low , waved at me from the aisle . Glanced down at his boarding pass . " Looks like I'm next to you . " ] I stood up to let him in . ] . We didn't talk much during the flight ] After we landed , Julian turned to me . " Where you headed ? " I shifted my bag on my shoulder . " Gonna explore . See where I end up . " ] He smiled . Didn't push . ] After landing . I got a new number , texted Dr. Patel to let her know I was safe . Didn't check anything online . [ ] Then found a small flat to rent in South Kensington . Started prepping for the semester . ] First day of class , I walked into the lecture hall . [ ] And froze . Because standing at the front of the room , dry - erase marker in hand , was Julian Cross . ] He caught my eye . Smiled . ] ] " Well . What a coincidence , Wren . " After class , he took me to lunch . Told me he'd been teaching at Cambridge for five years . [ ] " I don't have a heavy course load . If you ever need help with anything , just ask . " [ ] I glanced at him . " This isn't gonna be weird ? You being my professor now ? " Julian grinned . " Only if you make it weird . " [ ] 1 sighed . " Yeah , right " The next few months , I buried myself in coursework . [ ] As time passed , Julian and I got closer . Not in a romantic way - more like we just understood each other . [ ] I wasn't stupid . I knew he was interested : [ ] But right now ? I didn't have the time , energy , or desire to start something new . i found a moment to tell him straight up ! ] Julian just laughed . " That's your call . But me liking you ? That's My call . You can't control what I think , can you ? " ] Chapter 6 I stared at him . ] " ... I guess not . " Fair point . [ ] At least he didn't push it . ] Things stayed pretty chill between us after that , until three months later- I was at a café near campus with Julian , going over research notes , when Garrett appeared in the doorway . [ ] Three months without a razor , apparently . He looked wrecked - beard half - grown , eyes bloodshot , clothes wrinkled . [ ] When he spotted me , his whole face twisted . [ ] " WREN ! Finally . " He moved toward me like he was about to grab me .] Then Julian stepped in front of me , blocking him . ] Garrett stopped short , then looked at Julian with pure fury . [ ] " Get the hell out of my way ! " ] Julian let out a cold laugh . " Dude . Personal space . Back up . " ] " I'm hugging my WIFE . Mind your own damn business ! " Julian corrected him , voice flat . " Ex - wife . " [ ] Seeing Garrett again made my stomach turn . [ ] I used to light up every time I saw him . [ ] Now ? Just disgust . " Wren , I didn't know what I was signing ! You think I'd sign divorce papers on PURPOSE ?! That doesn't count ! " ] Julian snorted . " Yeah , ' cause you were too busy playing doctor with little side piece " ] Garrett's glare could've melted steel . " Wren , I wasn't thinking clearly that night . But come ON . We've known each other since we were KIDS . Twenty - plus years . You're seriously gonna throw all that away ? " He stood there , eyes bloodshot , looking completely wrecked . [ ] In the past , that look would've broken me . [ ] Now ? I felt nothing . Julian kept going , voice dripping with sarcasm : " Oh totally , you weren't thinking at all - too busy obsessing over your little sidechick to give a damn about Wren ~ " ] " ENOUGH ! " Garrett's jaw clenched , eyes narrowing as he sized Julian up . " Mr. Cross , last I checked , my marriage is none of your business . Don't you have an empire to run or something ? But here you are , sniffing around my wife ... " He stepped closer , hostile . ] " Pretty messed up , don't you think ? [ ] Julian shrugged " Oh yeah . Trying to date Wren . " ] I closed my eyes .[ ] Garrett completely lost it . ] You're disgusting ! You- " ] Chapter 6 His voice was loud enough that people started staring . I'd had enough . My hand flew across Garrett's face before I could stop myself . ] ] " Garrett , you announced your relationship with Scarlett WHILE WE WERE STILL MARRIED and you wanna talk about disgusting ? ! " ||| " You SLEPT with her - in OUR bed , in OUR apartment - and you wanna talk about disgusting ? ! [ ] " You let her take credit for MY commendations , MY work , MY blood and sweat - and you wanna talk about DISGUSTING ?! " ] " You two TEAMED UP to drag my name through the dirt , got the entire base thinking I'm some psycho stalker homewrecker , tried to END my career , my LIFE - and you have the NERVE to stand there and call someone ELSE disgusting ?!
