Delivery Room Ultimatum: Raise Her Lover's Child Chapter 9
Lugging a suitcase behind her, Chloe asked me with a straight face, "Hey, sir. Are you hiring here? All I need is room and board. I've got nowhere to go."I nodded vehemently, not even realizing that I'd teared up.As adults, we didn't need to put everything into words to realize how we both felt about each other.Having experienced what it was like to marry into a wealthy family already, I'd grown fearful and dared not address Chloe's feelings head-on.That was why I chose to run back to Jamesville like a coward.I told myself countless times not to lead Chloe on, but I couldn't resist fantasizing that she might show up on my doorstep. Yet, now that she was finally standing in front of me, I thought I was dreaming.Unable to suppress the longing any longer, I pulled her tightly into my arms. Only when I felt the warmth of her body did I realize this was real.With Chloe by my side, the bed and breakfast slowly turned into a thriving business.Sometime later, I asked her, "Is y

"I didn't think I'd end up needing your help," I said to Chloe.I'd previously assumed that Chloe was just from a regular wealthy family. However, she managed to force the Chases into threatening Ashley just now. It seemed the Grahams were no less powerful than the Chases, and probably even more so.Chloe didn't mind lending a hand. "We're old classmates. It's only right for me to help you."Unsurprisingly, when I arrived at the office, I found out I'd been fired. After receiving the severance pay I was entitled to, I packed up my things and left.Chloe was waiting for me outside the building, her brows furrowed. "Henry, come work at my family's company. No one would dare fire you there."I declined her thoughtful offer. Not only did she help me with Elyse's funeral, but she'd even helped me get divorced. She'd done enough for me.As I recalled the things she'd done, I asked curiously, "Why have you been helping me all this time?"Even though we were old classmates, we hadn't se

"Are you sure you don't need me to go in with you?" Chloe asked.She looked rather concerned, as if I were heading off to battle.I waved the divorce agreement in my hand. "We're just going to sign the divorce agreement. Don't worry. I can handle it."As I stepped into the house I'd painstakingly decorated in the past, a wave of melancholy washed over me. Everything was the same, yet everything had changed.As soon as Ashley saw that I'd returned, she dashed over to me in joy. "Honey, you're back!"She spoke tentatively, looking like she was trying to appease me. "I've sent Nathan and Bella back to my hometown. They won't be interrupting our lives anymore."Ashley didn't have her usual makeup on. In fact, it looked like she'd cleaned the house too.But it was too late.I held the divorce agreement out to her. "Sign this."Without even looking at it, she grabbed the document and ripped it into pieces."I won't sign it. I refuse to get a divorce!" She hugged me in fear, her tea

Cupping her cheek, Ashley glared furiously at me. "Henry! Have you lost your mind?"I'd already reached my breaking point. "That's right. I've lost my mind. I must've been insane to marry you! Elyse was the only family I had left in this world. I can live with the fact that you tried to threaten me with her, but you should never have killed her!"All these years, I've been completely devoted to you. I put you first, no matter what. I was even willing to act as if that bastard child was mine. But how did you repay me? You allowed your lover to waltz right into the house and get into bed with you. Have you ever treated me like your equal?"My anguished words left Ashley stammering, unable to refute me.Nathan tried to come to her defense."Ashley has already kept your sister alive all these years. She's done more than enough. If you ask me, your sister should've died long ago. She's nothing but a burden."He barely got the words out before I slammed my fist into his face—again and

Ashley didn't even look at me. She stepped forward and took Bella from Nathan's arms before declaring icily, "I'm taking them for a checkup now. If either one of them is even the slightest bit injured, I'll make your life a living hell."She walked out of the room with Nathan and Bella, leaving me alone to hold Elyse's body. I could feel the warmth of her body swiftly dissipating. I almost blacked out from the grief.Slowly, I raised my head, my eyes fixed on the door. "You'll regret this, Ashley."After getting a friend that I trusted to handle Elyse's funeral arrangements, I immediately got in touch with Fred Langdon, a friend of mine from college.He was now one of the top engineers in the tech industry. It'd be a piece of cake for him to analyze some security footage."Fred, help me verify the validity of two videos, both from security cameras. The first is the one Ashley gave me, showing that I'd kidnapped Nathan. The other is from the hallway of the hospital's inpatient ward

Ashley stormed out of the bedroom to come after me, snapping angrily, "At the end of the day, Nate is Bella's father, Henry! Once he leaves, I'll make it up to you."I stopped in my tracks and looked at her, baffled by how her mind worked."I don't need you to make it up to me. Let's just end things here and go our separate ways. You and Nathan can do whatever you want."Ashley had never seen me act this way before. She finally lost her temper."Henry! I'm already lowering myself to appease you now. Why can't you just put yourself in my shoes and understand my predicament?"What predicament was she referring to? The fact that she wanted me to raise the child she had with another man?It was honestly absurd. What a fool I'd been to cherish her all these years.Not wanting to hear any more of her nonsense, I headed for the door. She quickly tried to chase after me, only to aggravate her still-recovering body."Henry! It hurts!" she cried out in pain.Hearing that, Nathan ran out
