Semua Bab Unexpected Marriage: The night that changed my life: Bab 21 - Bab 30

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

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

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

Chloe called a rideshare vehicle and headed toward the campus. She took a deep breath, trying to contain the sadness inside her, while the car drove toward her dream.She couldn’t feel angry at Ruan for not being present. He had paid for her college and supported her for that entire year while she remained unemployed.After the episode with Arnold, the scandal spread among corporations, and every door closed on Chloe. Ruan tried to get her another job, but not even the company where he worked wanted her among their employees.Rejected by her husband, by her family, and now by the business world. At least Chloe hoped she would be lucky as a teacher. Her eyes sparkled when she thought about it. Working with children had always been her dream, and she was ready to make it come true.When the car dropped her off in front of the campus, she saw the lights flashing as the graduates arrived accompanied by their families. Chloe was the only one standing alone. She pulled her phone out of her

The sound of Ruan’s voice grew louder when he crossed the front door of the house. He grumbled impatiently, treating the entire episode as if it were completely absurd.“You still haven’t given me an explanation,” his heated voice rose close to Chloe’s face. “What were you doing in the car with your ex-boyfriend?”Chloe turned to face him, wrapping her arms around herself.“Would you leave Megan alone on her graduation day?” The words slipped out before Chloe could stop them.Ruan’s expression hardened. Hearing Megan’s name still hurt, and Chloe noticed it.“You shouldn’t mention that name; we’ve already talked about this.” His words struck Chloe almost like a physical blow. She regretted it instantly. “You should have called me; I would have picked you up.”“You wouldn’t have done that.” A bitter smile slipped from Chloe’s lips. “You were there, exchanged a couple of words with me, and left. You wouldn’t have come back to help me.”“And that’s why you ran into your ex-boyfriend’s arm
