It was evident that Henry had already developed feelings for Natalie. He wouldn’t have delayed their divorce otherwise. Juliet dared not ask Henry any more questions.

Henry’s phone started ringing right after Juliet had left. The sight of the caller ID made him freeze up in place. Why was Natalie calling him again? He answered the call with a cold, uncaring tone, “What is it?” “You should come to the courthouse as soon as possible.
