Josephine narrowed her eyes at the cup in her hands, checking every second to see if Chloe was close to finishing. When she finally emptied it, Josephine offered help, taking the cup and carrying it back to the kitchen.

“You need to leave.” Her once warm voice turned cold again. “It won’t be pleasant if your father comes home and sees you here. I don’t want any trouble with him.”

Chloe seemed to feel better now. She stood carefully, making sure the dizziness had passed. But she hadn’t achieved

  • Unexpected Marriage: The night that changed my life   Chapter 112

    Chloe looked at Grace packing her suitcase, tears welling in her eyes. Grace packed the clothes slowly, constantly pausing to wipe her face. Chloe couldn't tell if she cried out of sadness or happiness.“Promise you'll come visit me whenever you can,” she paused, turning to Chloe. “This house is going to feel massive without you.”She threw herself into Chloe’s arms the second she finished the sentence. She cried out of pure sadness, and that made Chloe cry too.“I’ll come visit you all the time,” Chloe said, swallowing the lump in her throat. “You should get a boyfriend, build your own family.”Grace pulled back suddenly and gave her an annoyed look. She wiped her face and tossed the clothes into the suitcase.“Men only cause trouble,” she snorted, irritated. “I feel like Ruan was my husband; all the anger I felt toward that man gave me actual trauma.”Chloe smiled because she knew it was true. From the very beginning, ever since Chloe married Ruan, Grace had been around, sharing in

    “Chloe, wait,” Ruan jumped up before she could leave and blocked her path. “What exactly do you mean by that?”Chloe stood up, her knees popping suddenly as weakness took over her legs, though the virus had nothing to do with it.“That maybe I believe you,” she said, keeping her distance. “That perhaps I want to give our family a second chance.”Ruan caught his breath as Chloe walked right past him. He really hadn't expected that. He gripped the car keys like a trophy and walked through the door with a smile so wide that it even caught Chloe off guard.The ride was dead silent, which felt weird to her. He should have said something. He should have confessed his love all over again, but Ruan couldn't find the words and preferred the silence over saying the wrong thing at the wrong time.Chloe adjusted her round glasses, holding her purse tightly against her shoulders before stepping out of the car. She didn't look at Ruan, but she noticed him hop out of the vehicle and march right towa

  • Unexpected Marriage: The night that changed my life   Chapter 110

    Chloe stood by the closed door for far too long, tortured by everything she saw and heard from Ruan. Suddenly, she pictured herself walking a tightrope over a massive cliff. She felt ready to leave, to forget the past and all the pain she faced while living in Phoenix, and to start anew somewhere else. She craved a brand-new life, fresh opportunities, and meeting new people while achieving her career dream.On the other hand, she still loved Ruan madly. The feeling inside her heart grew so intense that it physically ached. Hearing him say those things made her want to run straight into his arms and kiss him.But she remembered exactly how much she loved him and how brutally he had rejected her. She felt like a broken plate trying to glue itself back together just to be useful again. Her heart was completely shattered. Suddenly, her knees gave out, and she had to grab the living room couch to keep from collapsing. The fever flared up again. Chloe dragged herself onto the cushion and sl

  • Unexpected Marriage: The night that changed my life   Chapter 109

    Chloe stood frozen right there, her hair messy, her shirt unbuttoned. She had heard everything. She looked confused and deeply uncomfortable, as if she were witnessing a car crash for the very first time.“Chloe,” Ruan stepped closer, thinking she might run away, but Chloe stayed put, merely avoiding his eyes. “How are you feeling?”His voice trembled now, and he absolutely hated himself for it. Ruan wanted to avoid making things worse between him and Chloe again at all costs.“You have company,” she said, glancing toward the door, straight into Megan's eyes. “Don't keep her waiting.”Megan let out a soft, wicked laugh that echoed down the entire hallway.Chloe turned on her heels with great effort, her heart pounding and making her blood run hot, but Ruan caught her before she could leave.“Wait,” he said, staring into her eyes. “Whatever Megan has to say, I want you to hear it.”“I don't want any part of whatever is going on between the two of you,” Chloe tried to break free, but Ru

  • Unexpected Marriage: The night that changed my life   Chapter 108

    Chloe felt the cold water hit her back while she gripped Ruan tightly, leaving red marks across his back. He didn't complain. He ran his hands through her hair, then slid them down her neck just to make sure her temperature was dropping. Not only that, but he had forgotten how good it felt to be with someone he truly loved.“Can we get this over with soon?” her voice shook. Chloe’s chin trembled uncontrollably; she could barely speak. “I’m freezing.”“I know,” he said, holding her even tighter. “Just hold on for one more minute.”Chloe rested her head against his chest. She couldn't remember a single time she had held Ruan like this and felt as safe as she did right then. Chloe had promised herself she wouldn't let him get close again. She had imagined walking away and never looking back, but now she lay in his arms, wishing this moment would never end.He finally turned off the shower. Without letting go of her for a single second, he reached out, grabbed a towel, and wrapped it arou

  • Unexpected Marriage: The night that changed my life   Chapter 107

    An icy chill ran through Chloe’s body. She trembled beneath the sheets after a nightmare jolted her awake. That specific scene had haunted her since the day Ruan confessed his love. Chloe thought about it constantly; it became an almost sickly obsession, the words “I love you” circling her mind without granting her a single minute of peace.She curled into a tighter ball as sweat covered her body. Chris sat up in bed, still half-asleep, and touched her shoulder.“Are you okay, Mommy?” She turned her neck and stared at him, rubbing her eyes.“I’m sorry if I’m keeping you awake,” she cleared her throat, her sunken eyes signaling that something was very wrong. “Don't worry, I'm fine.”Chris stared directly at her face and placed his small hand on her sweaty forehead.“What are you doing?” she asked.“You're sick,” he stated with a certainty that startled her. “You need help.”“What?” Chloe watched the boy get out of bed, open the door, and walk out of the room.Chloe tried to get up to f

  • Unexpected Marriage: The night that changed my life   Chapter 37

    Chloe hadn’t shed a tear since she received the news of her father’s death. Maybe it hadn’t sunk in yet, or perhaps she still felt so wounded that it blocked the pain of losing him.Sitting on the couch in the house that had been hers for so long, she used the silent morning to say goodbye to the l

  • Unexpected Marriage: The night that changed my life   Chapter 36

    When Chloe returned to her seat, Christopher was sleeping in Ruan’s arms. Many things were loose in their marriage, but Ruan’s bond with Chris was the strongest thing that could still tie Chloe to her husband.Seeing them asleep together was the most beautiful scene she had witnessed in the past fe

  • Unexpected Marriage: The night that changed my life   Chapter 34

    Nothing registered in Chloe’s mind when she came across the news. She hadn’t seen her father in more than six years. The last time she saw him was when he expelled her from home, saying he no longer had a daughter. Chloe wasn’t ready to see him again, now lying in a coffin.What was Chloe supposed

  • Unexpected Marriage: The night that changed my life   Chapter 33

    Images from the last five years flickered before Chloe’s eyes. She hadn’t just abandoned the past; she had left her father, her city, and all of her dreams behind to keep her son safe.She remembered the night she fled with Ruan to another country, with him promising to protect her and the child sh
