Unexpected Marriage: The night that changed my life Chapter 26
“You are truly a gift to this family,” Margot’s voice, Chloe’s mother-in-law, echoed through the house. “You are the perfect woman to give Ruan the child he needs.”The smile on Chloe’s face slowly faded. It had already been a year since they married, and after she lost their first child, she never managed to conceive again. Time had passed too quickly, so quickly that sometimes Chloe felt as if she were running against it.At that moment, Chloe turned to her, as if she had just noticed her, standing up from the chair and adjusting her skirt with sweaty hands.She looked around, making sure the servants weren’t nearby to hear her say it.“The doctor said I can’t have children anymore.”Margot’s eyes widened with sadness, and she let out a heavy sigh.“He could be wrong,” she forced a smile, trying to encourage her. “You should seek a second diagnosis and, if possible, undergo fertility treatment.”Chloe shook her head. The pressure to have a child had never come between them. Ruan had

Chloe was about to speak after hours of awkward silence. Her thoughts wouldn’t let her rest. She was unemployed once again. Ruan, inconsolable, left the room with trembling breaths.He returned a few minutes later with a suitcase in his hand and placed it in the middle of the living room. Chloe’s eyes examined the object and concluded that it was her suitcase. Her heart jumped, pounding against her ribs.What exactly did that mean?Ruan came back shortly after with another suitcase, one Chloe didn’t recognize. A shiver ran down her spine as she imagined what could happen.“What does this mean?” She bit her lips, knowing she wouldn’t like the answer at all.“We’re moving.” A deadly silence followed.Chloe stood still, watching Ruan pack things without understanding what could happen. She shifted uncomfortably, her feet restless, while she cleared her throat. Was Ruan also getting rid of her?“You haven’t explained what this means.” A knot formed in Chloe’s throat, and she could barely

Frustration tormented Chloe as soon as she walked into the apartment. Just a few hours ago, everything seemed perfectly fine. Ruan had been closer and appeared willing to make that marriage something real.She cursed under her breath as soon as he crossed the door. She paced through the living room, moving away from him, her mind racing. When Ruan grabbed her by the waist and pulled her close, pressing his lips against hers, Chloe pushed him away immediately.“No.” Her heart pounded wildly, images of the last two months flickering in her eyes. “I need to rest.”The argument wasn’t over. Ruan had said things Chloe didn’t need to hear. She couldn’t just shove everything to the back of her mind and go on as if nothing was happening. Chloe feared getting too involved with Ruan and being abandoned the same way Leonidas had abandoned her.If Megan came back, that would certainly happen.A surge of anger passed through Ruan as he stepped back and let her go.A knot twisted in her stomach whe

Chloe glimpsed Ruan as soon as she left the campus. He stood leaning against his BMW, wearing his gray suit and sunglasses, arms crossed.Ruan looked in Chloe’s direction as soon as she walked out of the building, but her attention focused on the other girls who shamelessly desired her husband.The girls weren't concerned about looking inappropriate in front of her. They laughed and waved at Ruan with a naturalness that stirred an unusual fury inside Chloe.She was jealous. Her legs hurried toward him, and Chloe had only one thought: to get Ruan out of there as quickly as possible.For two months of marriage, he had never worried about her taking the bus home, but there he was, with his muscular frame right beside her, smiling.Damn, he looked even more handsome when he smiled.“What are you doing here?”From her jealous look, Ruan knew she was envious. Then, he leaned in and kissed her lips. It was as if, with that kiss, he sucked all her fury away and left her far too calm.“I came

Samantha and Arnold were so caught up that they didn’t notice when Chloe took her phone out of her bag and captured proof of what was happening—a photograph.She had to step back quickly so that neither of them would see her. That job was all Chloe had, and she needed to secure her spot, but having a photograph of her new boss with her ex-boyfriend’s woman would serve as a card for possible blackmail.Now Chloe had Samantha in her hands.She looked at the photograph and smiled, not because the scene was pleasant, but because she knew the punishment Leonidas deserved had come far too quickly.The office door soon opened, and when Samantha realized Chloe was there, anger mixed with fear twisted in her gut. She wiped her mouth and face, blushing red as she adjusted her skirt like someone who had just committed a crime.Chloe immediately erased the smile from her face and pretended she knew nothing.“Why did you arrive so early?” She walked toward Chloe, lifting her chin and looking down
Unexpected Marriage: The night that changed my life Chapter 21
When Chloe entered Arnold’s office, Samantha stood in front of his desk, smiling, waiting for him to sign some documents. She turned, shot Chloe a deadly look, and left.Chloe hunched her shoulders and wondered if that could become a problem. What terrifying thing could Samantha do to make her life harder? She was so distracted that she didn’t hear Arnold call her.“I'm sorry,” she said, glancing at him, never imagining he would be so young and handsome.She had made a misjudgment by imagining the man standing before her as someone older and more mature. Weren’t all CEOs supposed to be like that? But Arnold looked about her age and was already successful.“I was very curious to meet Ruan’s wife.” He extended his hand to greet her. “Welcome, Chloe. And don’t worry about justifying your delay; I thoroughly understand.”She shook his hand and wondered what exactly Arnold knew. What kind of closeness did he have with Ruan? Were they friends? If so, then he knew Ruan shouldn’t have married
