# Chapter 4: When Love Fades Into Indifference
Hello everyone, it's me again! How are you all doing? Today I will continue to walk with you and review Chapter 4 of "REMARRIED AFTER I SECRETLY DIVORCED THE CEO." This chapter pulls us deeper into the emotional turmoil of Autumn's life as she navigates a dinner that reveals just how far her marriage has fallen. Let's dive in.

The evening started simply enough. Henry, ever the attentive brother, glanced at the dishes Autumn had ordered and immediately frowned. "Why only vegetables? There's no nutrition in these. You need to eat more meat. Look how thin you are." His concern was genuine, and without waiting for her input, he took the menu and ordered several of her favorite dishes.
Lily, too, was doting, constantly placing food onto Autumn's plate—all the dishes she used to love. But Autumn's appetite had vanished. Ever since her diagnosis, food seemed meaningless. After a few bites, she set down her chopsticks, unable to take another mouthful.
"Autumn, what's wrong? Don't like the food?" Lily asked, her voice laced with concern.
Autumn shook her head, forcing a smile. "No, I ate something earlier, so I'm not really hungry right now." The lie came easily, but the truth was buried deep—she couldn't bear to worry them with the news of her illness.
Her stomach began to churn, so she excused herself to use the restroom. As she passed the smoking lounge, familiar voices drifted out—Julian's friends. She stopped, her heart tightening.
"Julian, you're not going home tonight? Isn't your wife calling to check on you?"
"With how clingy she is? No way she's not checking. He probably just sweet-talked her again."
"She's such a pain. Always checking up on him. No wonder Julian's tired of her. After all these years, the spark's long gone."
"Exactly. That Luna's way better than Autumn. She has better looks, figure, and background. Honestly, even I'd be tempted."
Each word was a knife twist, and the fact that his friends spoke so freely meant Julian had never bothered to stop them from badmouthing her. Autumn lowered her eyes, a bitter smile curving her lips. She turned to walk away.
But Julian caught a glimpse of her through the smoke. He stubbed out his cigarette and strode out, his friends following.
"Autumn." His tone was sharp, accusatory. "So, you've changed tactics? Following me now instead of just calling?"
The group froze, exchanging shocked glances. None of them expected her to be here. Tonight was a secret gathering for Luna's birthday, held in an ultra-private SVIP room. Yet somehow, she'd found them.
Autumn paused, a sharp ache piercing her chest. A memory flashed—Julian once getting into a fight for her. That image overlapped with the man before her now, accusing her without hesitation. He used to love her so much. But now... when had his love turned into impatience and disdain?
Steadying herself, she turned and gave a faint smile. "Sorry, I'm just here for dinner. I'm not looking for you."
She started toward the restroom, but Julian grabbed her arm. His face was tense, his tone irritated. "Autumn, can you not make a scene? I'm here for business. You're making things awkward for me."
She calmly pulled her arm back, raising a brow. "How exactly am I making a scene?" Going to the restroom counted as causing trouble? What a joke. Back when she first realized Julian had changed, she did cling to him constantly, driving him to frustration. Because she had once experienced how deeply he loved her, she could instantly sense the moment he stopped. It had been selfish. She wanted him to go back to the man he used to be. But she would never do that again.
Julian froze, his expression darkening. His friends quickly stepped in to smooth things over. "Autumn, don't take it the wrong way. We really are just here for business."
She nodded with understanding. "Oh, then take your time. I won't disturb you." As soon as the words left her mouth, she turned away. But a mocking smile tugged at her lips. Whether he was here for business or seducing another woman into bed didn't matter anymore. In a month, he'd be nothing more than a stranger. What did any of it have to do with her?
Watching her walk away, the group shifted uneasily. "Julian, your wife's really overdoing it. She follows you everywhere. Maybe you should head back and smooth things over."
Julian stared at her retreating figure, irritated, pulling out a cigarette. Someone lit it for him. He took a deep drag. "Shut up." A few seconds later, his face was calm again, as if nothing had happened, and he walked back into the room.

**Reader's Impressions & Star Rating:**
This chapter is a heartbreaking exploration of a marriage where love has been replaced by suspicion and contempt. Autumn's quiet dignity in the face of Julian's accusations is both inspiring and devastating. You can feel her pain as she realizes the man she once loved is now a stranger who assumes the worst of her. The contrast between her family's care and Julian's coldness is stark. The chapter is emotionally gripping, and the tension builds beautifully.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **Rating: 4.8 / 5 Stars**
**Next Chapter Prediction:**
With Autumn's diagnosis looming and her resignation to the divorce, I predict she will start taking concrete steps to leave Julian's life—perhaps filing the papers or moving out. Meanwhile, Julian's friends' comments about Luna suggest a budding affair or at least emotional infidelity that will escalate. The reckoning is coming, and Julian has no idea what he's about to lose.
