Unexpected Marriage: The night that changed my life Chapter 89
A thousand emotions surged within Chloe the moment she saw Ruan enter the house and drop his belongings—what little remained after the fire—onto the living room floor. He sat on the sofa in complete silence. Chloe walked past him, still holding Christopher, and headed toward the bedroom.When Grace walked through the door, Chloe rushed to corner her against the wall. She hadn't said anything earlier to avoid embarrassing Ruan or dashing Christopher’s hopes.She grabbed Grace’s hand and dragged her to the back of the house."What crazy idea possessed you to bring Ruan to your house?""Did you want your son’s father living on the street?" Grace crossed her arms, shifting the burden onto Chloe. "Ruan is rich, he owns his own company; he’ll find a good place to live within a week. His stay here is temporary.""You know exactly what I’m talking about." Chloe had to keep her voice down when she felt herself nearly shouting. "How could you tell him you have a huge, useless basement when we b
Unexpected Marriage: The night that changed my life Chapter 88
POV ChloeChloe needed a moment alone before entering the hospital emergency room to talk to Ruan about the fire at his house. Before getting out of the car, she asked Grace to wait there. Grace didn't argue. She seemed indifferent to the events. She yawned, turned away, and waited for Chloe to return.Chloe felt as if something were crushing her heart as she moved down the hallway. Her steps were slow and precisely calculated as she ran through the speech in her mind once more. How would Ruan react when he found out there was no saving his mansion?When she turned the corner, passing hospital security toward his room, she saw Ruan outside. He wore his regular clothes and held a sleeping Christopher in his arms. She hurried her pace, and the moment Ruan looked into her eyes, he knew the news was bad.Chloe smelled of smoke, and soot stained her clothes, making it look as though she had helped fight the flames herself.“What happened?” She leaned in to look at Chris, who slept peaceful

Grace took far too long to get out of the car. Meanwhile, the flames were already spreading through every room of the house. She stared at the horrific scene, knowing deep down that this was no accident. No one had to tell her that the fire was intentional.Firefighters fought the blaze. She stepped out of the vehicle, and the scent of smoke hit her nostrils, clinging to her skin, hair, and clothes. The wind carried away the ashes of a house that had once been hers too. If Ruan were there, he would have dropped to his knees at the sight of the home he had meticulously planned being completely leveled by the fire.Even though he had built the house for Megan, a tear still escaped her eyes. She saw Grace talking to the authorities and decided to approach.“I’m sorry, but we’ll hardly be able to salvage anything,” the chief said, shaking his head. “We’re trying to prevent the flames from spreading to nearby homes so the disaster doesn't get any worse.”“Do you have any leads on what caus

Chloe watched the exact moment Ruan's expression—once so calm because of Chris's presence—drain into something pale and lifeless. His feet moved quickly toward the door. She didn't think twice before planting herself in front of him, eyes pleading for him to stop right there.“Did you hear what she said?” He placed his hands on her shoulders—heavy and cold. “My house is on fire. I have to do something.”“I know many of your qualities, Ruan, but fireman wasn't one I had on the list.” She grabbed him, knowing her physical strength alone wouldn't stop him, but her agility gave her just enough of an edge to beat him to the door. She locked it and yanked out the keys.“This is no time for jokes, Chloe.” He stretched out his hand, his jaw clenching so hard it could've cracked his teeth. “Give me the keys back.”Chloe felt her heart being crushed. She couldn't let Ruan go to his house without knowing the real reasons it had caught fire. He was still under medical supervision, still under ser

POV RuanRuan shouldn’t have given up so easily on speaking to Chloe, but when he looked at her and saw how she acted around Elijah, his blood boiled. He was already under immense pressure from everything that had happened with Megan; his heart was shattered, and he didn't need another disappointment.It was hard for him to admit that he hated the idea of seeing Chloe with another man. At first, he told himself this distrust stemmed solely from Christopher—that he didn't want another man raising his son—but he couldn't convince himself of that lie. He hated seeing Elijah by Chloe’s side even when Christopher wasn't around. It wasn't because Elijah gave him any reason to; it was simply because Chloe was his ex-wife, the woman he had shared his life with for years.He returned to his room, his head beginning to throb. He lay on the bed and closed his eyes, but recent events haunted him like ghosts. Megan was still married, and the accusations Chloe had made were far too serious. His hea

POV ChristopherChristopher blinked rapidly, refusing to let tears blur his vision even further. He didn't want Chloe to see him crying; every time he did, it made her even more vulnerable. But the pain in his back was too intense. He held back his tears as much as he could, for as long as he could.“I didn't mean to cause trouble,” he said quickly, his voice raspy with pain. “That woman came up to me, threw me on the ground, and then said it was all a game…”Chloe immediately pulled Christopher into her arms and hugged him tight, closing her eyes and refusing to let her pain show. She knew Christopher was holding back his tears, so she did the same, trying to give him strength.“It wasn't your fault, okay?” She kissed Christopher’s sweaty forehead. “We can ask the doctor to take a look at you.”“I'm fine, Mom,” he said, fighting back the urge to cry. “I'm just a little scared.”It was much more than a scare. It hurt far more than a hard bump on the back; Christopher’s heart ached, an

Chloe held the phone with trembling hands while she waited for a response on the other end. She heard only Ruan’s tired sigh.“It wasn’t me who paid,” he finally said. “Megan got a loan. She was the one who managed to get Josephine out of jail.”“Who could get a loan that fast?” She let her thought

“Why can’t I stay with my dad?” Christopher’s insistent question made Chloe’s head ache even more.Tears streamed down the boy’s small face. She silently regretted having to make him go through this. She held him tightly in her arms, hoping that maybe it would ease his pain. Not only that, but she

Ruan pressed the accelerator, leaving behind Chloe’s house and her icy stare. Everything that had happened inside that house left him with the suffocating feeling that something still bound him to Chloe. The image of her standing beside Elijah, a man he barely knew, hit him like a punch to the gut.

Chloe sighed, her hand lightly touching the splint on her nose.The pain was bearable now, a physical reminder of the day that was ending with her leaving the hospital. After the fight with Josephine, Chloe had no idea if she was safe living in that city.What lingered in her mind, more than the pa
