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

  • Unexpected Marriage: The night that changed my life   Chapter 96

    Ruan watched the exact moment tears streamed down Megan's face. Not too long ago, that sight would have broken his heart. He used to hate seeing her cry, but now he felt absolutely nothing but indifference. He saw no sincerity in her grief.“I want to know where I can find Alexander,” Ruan said, and the sudden shift in topic startled Megan. “He needs to pay for assault and property damage.”“You could face charges for making false accusations,” Josephine snapped, raising her voice again. “You don't know who you're messing with, Ruan. If I were you, I'd back off before it's too late.”“If I learned how to deal with you, Josephine, I can handle anyone.”His words hit like targeted bullets, and judging by Josephine's reaction, Ruan had struck a nerve.“Please, Ruan,” Megan rushed forward so quickly he couldn't stop her from touching him. “Stay away from Alexander. My mother is right—he's a dangerous man.”“If you knew he was dangerous, why did you marry him?” Ruan violently shook her off

  • Unexpected Marriage: The night that changed my life   Chapter 95

    Ruan left the school, glancing back and trying to convince himself that staying away was for the best. Seeing Chloe's ex-boyfriend court her had infuriated him, and the feeling tormented him all the way home.However, he didn't stop in front of Grace’s house; he kept driving, knowing it was useless to hide and pretend nothing was happening. Chloe still haunted his thoughts—it was disturbing to obsess over his ex-wife this way. Megan was the one he should still love; Megan was the one he should be thinking about and mourning. He closed his eyes, and when he opened them, he focused on the road. He had a more important matter to handle this time.Not only that, but he parked the car a few yards away. He turned off the engine and looked around, making sure the street was empty. Visiting his ex-mother-in-law's house wasn't suspicious in itself, but Ruan knew what he might find there. He also knew that all of Phoenix was talking about the incident involving Megan's current husband.People u

    Chloe immediately walked to her classroom. She would rather not allow Elijah any time to question her about Leonidas and their long-past relationship. She felt his intense gaze on her as soon as she crossed the room. Even with the students being rowdy and running around, the atmosphere inside the classroom felt more welcoming than the world outside.It took her ten minutes to calm the children. Chloe loved working with kids and hardly noticed the time passing while she taught. In there, she had no adult problems to solve, no ghosts from the past, and no Ruan constantly reminding her that they were once married and shared an unbreakable bond.She didn't realize the class had ended until she saw the children rushing into the hallway. Chloe had a clear plan: wait for every student to leave, pack her things, run to Christopher’s classroom, and sneak away unnoticed. But her plans fell apart the moment she turned around and saw Elijah standing in the doorway.Their eyes met, and his lips ti

    “Stop telling people I'm your wife immediately,” Chloe said, raising her finger to point at Ruan’s face, deeply unsettled by what she considered childish behavior.Even when they were married, he never proudly claimed Chloe as his wife. This sudden change in his behavior left her both confused and furious. It seemed as though Ruan only did it to hurt her.He gently caught her finger, watching the movement, and lowered her hand, disarming Chloe in a way she never expected.Ruan left the police station, reeling from everything he had heard. He drove to the street where Josephine lived, stopped in front of the house, and stared at the building. He debated confronting his ex-mother-in-law, but the thought of Christopher stopped him.Not only that, but he started the car again and doubled back, heading straight to the school where Chris studied. Occasionally he forgot that Chloe worked there, too. Remembering that also reminded him that Elijah owned the school and loved courting his ex-wif

    Chloe drove to the school in silence, her thoughts frozen on the moment Ruan walked into the bathroom and saw her naked. The way her body reacted to his gaze still energized her, as if the moment hadn't ended.“When I get back from school, will my dad be home waiting for me?” Chris's voice pulled her back to reality. Chloe had to force her eyes toward him.The car sat in the parking lot when Grace got out, taking the boy in her arms.“Something tells me your dad isn't leaving anymore,” Grace said. Chloe looked at her, thinking it was a tasteless joke and that she shouldn't mislead a child. “I mean, even if you guys move away one day, your father will go with you.”“You shouldn't lie to a child,” Chloe said, resting her bag on her shoulders and looking at the school entrance. “Christopher is old enough to know his father and I are no longer together.”“I believe Aunt Grace,” Chris said as soon as his feet touched the ground. “I also believe Daddy is going to move back in with us.”Chlo

    Ruan walked for nearly a mile before reaching the hospital. Sweat glistened on his forehead, and the Phoenix sun had barely crested the horizon. He huffed as he unlocked his vehicle and climbed inside. He shut the door and threw his head back, closing his eyes.Megan’s words invaded his thoughts. They hit like a devastating wave, crushing the sandcastle he had built to spend his life with her. A knot tightened in his throat. A tear threatened to fall.Chloé’s shapely legs filled his mind. Ruan opened his eyes and stared straight ahead.“Why am I thinking about Chloé?”All the anguish from moments ago vanished, replaced by an almost uncontrollable desire. Ruan shook his head as if his thoughts were a stray animal clinging to his hair that he needed to shake off.He started the engine and drove through the streets of Phoenix toward the police station. He needed to see the city's movement to forget the problems surfacing in his life. Not only that, but he had to stop thinking about Megan

    His face twisted with fury, his eyes blazing as his hands tightened, ready to strike Elijah.Megan grabbed his arm and tried to push him back. Just a minute ago, Ruan had looked so happy, and now he seemed ready to kill someone.“Stop this, Ruan.” Megan struggled to hold him back, but her strength

    Chloe crossed her right leg over her left, checking the clock and realizing she had arrived far too early.Clutching her folder, she waited for Elijah to show up so they could talk. He had no idea she had come back to accept the job. She should have called him—after all, that’s what Elijah had aske

Burnt food filled the kitchen trash can, but Chloe was so determined to make the evening pleasant that she ignored all the problems Ruan had caused and started everything over again.The aroma was irresistible.“What happened here?” Grace pointe
