After Divorcing my Captain Husband (Chloe and Michael)

Chapter 411 Chloe's New Beginnings

So she didn't rush him.

But she didn't expect Michael from the opposite table to stay as well.

He usually left after presenting a gift at such events, didn't he?

Today, he unexpectedly remained in high spirits until the end.

Michael's eyes glanced over; when Chloe subconsciously avoided his gaze, the next moment James stood up and headed towards the corridor. Seeing him leave, Michael also stood.

Chloe cursed inwardly; damn James, forgetting his loyalty for lust!

When Michael reached Chloe, she grabbed her bag from the seat and was about to leave.

"James won't marry you."

Chloe paused. "Who said I wanted him to marry me?"

She had just gone from being a widow to being free; why should she rush to find herself another in-law?

"Then what about the child in your belly..."

Chloe's face darkened. "The child is none of your concern."

"Chloe, don't be stubborn. As long as you speak up, you can still be Mrs. Shawn of the Shawn family."

"Do you think being Mrs. Shawn is some kind of golden ticket? It's true that many people would jump at it, but I couldn't care less!"

Asher sat at another table, watching Chloe pointing at Michael's nose as she scolded him, feeling somewhat admiring in his heart.

But Michael was still unwilling to give up. "The Dale family doesn't want you, and you have a child in your belly. How will you live alone in the future? As long as you're willing, you can come back anytime."

Chloe chuckled at his words.

How could he still think that going back to be his nominal wife was a favor to her?

There were loads of suitable men out there!

Why must she cling to him alone?

"Who said I don't want to marry her?"

James' voice came from nearby, and everyone turned their heads.

With his nice skin and thick eyebrows, he looked quite handsome.

"Didn't you see the heirloom of the Dale family she's wearing on her hand? If I can give it to her, I can marry her. Don't you understand, rookie?"

Amid Michael's furrowed brow, James gently led Chloe away by the waist.

As soon as they got into the car, he reached out to Chloe.

"What?"

Chloe was still anxious about his words just now.

Could this man really marry her just to spite Maggie?

"Do you really think I'd give the ring to you?"

Chloe was rendered speechless.

"If we're acting, we have to do the whole show. How else would your ex-husband believe it? But I have no intention of marrying you."

Chloe rolled her eyes. "I have no intention of marrying you either!"

As the car drove on, she heard James again. "I'm playing along with you. When will you fulfill your promise?"Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Chloe knew he was talking about him returning to Mythica.

"The bullet in your abdomen hasn't been removed yet."

She was still waiting for Smith's answer, whether he would agree to let James undergo surgery.

James leaned back comfortably, closing his eyes. "I've told you not to wait. Smith won't agree."

If Smith really wanted to operate on himself, why would he wait so many years?

Did she really think the Minister of Defense was just a simple old man?

Chloe returned to Urban Lane, and soon Candy and the others came back.

They went to Alscia today, and the round trip was done on the same day, not to mention how efficient they were.

"Chloe, you wouldn't believe who received us in Alscia today."

Chloe poured each of them a glass of water. "Who?"

"Rick!"

Chloe was somewhat surprised; Rick's face instantly came to her mind.

The last time she saw him was at the banquet.

He returned to Alscia?

"He knows I'm your friend and even asked how you've been lately."

Previously, Chloe had worked as a flight attendant at Paramount Airlines and talked to Rick, mentioning her good friend Candy.

She didn't expect Rick to remember her and care so much.

But she was glad she didn't join this project.

Otherwise, her cover would have been blown.

"Candy, have you decided to go see Wesley?"

As soon as Wesley's name was mentioned, Candy's smile faded instantly. "He contacted you again?"

"He just mentioned it today."

"Ignore him. He just can't accept that I initiated the breakup. It's a matter of pride!"

Chloe didn't say much and changed the topic.

"Was everything smooth today?"

"Smooth doesn't even begin to describe it, and we settled the accounts quickly. By now, it's probably done."

Candy went to check the account statements on the computer.

But as soon as she looked, she was shocked by the funds inside.

"Oh my, why is there an extra thirty million?"
