Walking Out On My Husband Chapter 10By Novel7s / June 29, 2026 Walking Out On My Husband Chapter 10He hesitated a few seconds. Then answered.Whatever she said, his face went tight.“Right now?”A whimper leaked through the speaker. Faint. Pitiful.Julian shot to his feet.“Okay. Hang on. I’m coming.”He hung up. Looked at me for two seconds. His voice wavered.“She got in a car accident… I…”“Yeah. Go.”I didn’t argue.I stood up to leave. Julian panicked.He grabbed my wrist.“You don’t want me to go, do you? I don’t have a choice. She doesn’t know anyone else in this city. I can’t just let her die.”He’d said this before. So many times.On our anniversary. On my birthday. Every time I needed him.But I’d figured it out a long time ago. He was only fooling himself.“Tomorrow morning. The courthouse.”His face twisted. Like he was genuinely worried about Lily.“Don’t overthink this. I’ll explain when I get back.”And he left. Didn’t look back.After he was gone, I sat back down. Finished the dessert I hadn’t touched.It tasted better without him there.After work, I went home. Mom had a whole spread waiting for me.All my favorites.I was starving. Reached straight for my fork.Mom snatched it out of my hand and pushed me toward the bathroom.“You little brat. Go wash up first!”I laughed and set my bag down like a good kid.But after dinner, I saw her packed bags by the door.Mom noticed me looking. Smiled and explained:“I came in such a rush this time. The diner’s expecting me back. My boss has been calling.”My chest ached. I opened my mouth, but before I could speak, she went on:“I get it. From now on, whenever I miss you, I’ll just come stay for a while. This is my daughter’s place. I can do whatever I want.”She said it lightly. But with all the confidence in the world.I relaxed. Reached over and hugged her.That night, we slept in the same bed. She talked for hours.But she didn’t mention Julian. Not once.
