Chapter 53: Can't Let Her Go 1/4 Chloe turned her head as she listened to him, and in an instant, her face went pale.
"I'm the one who wants the divorce the most! If you really think I'm embarrassing the Shawn family, then just sign the divorce papers and letgo. That way, the Shawn family won't be dragged down by me. Besides, if I embarrass the Shawn family, it's nothing compared to you. You better watch your step and not get caught by Grandpa while cozying up with Lucy. When he gets mad, don't blme," she said. Michael was left speechless by her words.
But Chloe seemed to have a switch flipped. She wouldn't stop, "Captain Shawn, you're married yet cozy with other women. I just went out for drinks with friends, and suddenly it's at disgrace to the Shawn family. You're obviously targetingon purpose." Michael was getting annoyed, listening to her go on and on about things that never happened between him and Lucy.
He didn't know what cover him. He just grabbed her by the neck and kissed her talkative lips.
Chloe shivered as his slightly cool lips brushed against hers.

Chloe glared at him, her anger palpable. "Of course." Chloe already couldn't stand him, especially with how close he was to Lucy.

Hearing the anger in his voice, Chloe let out a chuckle.
"Seriously? You're the one being unreasonable here, yet you're mad at me? Is it because I asked for the divorce first? Or, Captain Shawn, could it be that you can't letgo? Is that why. you've been stalling?" Michael froze, his expression turning icy.
"You're overthinking it," he said.
Chloe felt completely crushed by the short response.
She knew deep down that Michael's chances of wanting her to stay were slim. But hearing the final answer still made her tremble uncontrollably.

Michael took a few steps back, adjusting the cuff of his jacket.
"Until Grandpa's stable, you'd better remember your place and not overstep," he said.
Chloe glanced at his cufflinks; they were made of natural mica.
Chapter 53: Can't Let Her Go Those cufflinks are too stylish and refined; there's no way he bought them himself.
His guy friends wouldn't give him something like this. Only a woman would.
4/4
Chloe couldn't think of anyone but Lucy who would give her something that seemed ordinary but was incredibly useful every day. He's wearing gifts from someone else, acting all close, while I'm here hoping he won't leave me.
