After Divorcing my Captain Husband (Chloe and Michael)

Chapter 202 The Argument

Chloe sneered and turned off the light. She lay down, not wanting to argue.

Michael turned around and reached for the blanket.

Chloe turned abruptly, "What are you doing?"

"This blanket is in the way," Michael replied, confused.

Chloe sneered again. It wasn't the blanket that was in the way.

It was him.

"Do I need to remind you? We're in the divorce cooling-off

period.

"Sleeping in the same bed is already for Grandpa's sake. Don't push your luck.

"Sleep or leave."

Michael frowned and stayed silent.

Chloe's temper was getting worse.

He sighed, turned over, and tried to sleep.

Just as he closed his eyes, his phone vibrated.

He checked out the caller ID and frowned.

"Owen, do you know what time it is?"

Chloe, lying beside him, was surprised to hear Owen's name.

After a brief conversation, Michael's frown deepened.

He turned and got out of bed.

"I have to go to deal with something."

"What's wrong?" Chloe asked, sitting up.

Michael hesitated, unwilling to tell her.

His attitude annoyed her.

"It's 1 a.m. Why does he need you to go over right now? If you don't tell me, I'll go and inform Grandpa."

She had endured for three years. She wouldn't tolerate it any longer.

After a long silence, Michael revealed, "It's Lucy. She drank too much and won't come down from the rooftop. Owen didn't have a way, and he asked me to go over." Chloe snorted.

As the other means failed, Lucy resorted to parasuicide.

That was totally for show.

"What has it got to do with you?" Chloe asked.

"She's your sister and my colleague. I've known her for a while. I can't sit by," Michael reasoned.

Chloe turned on the light.

The sudden dazzling light made them both squint.

"Alright, I'll go with you," Chloe said.

Michael paused in astonishment as he dressed.

"You're right. Anyway, she's Chloe. If she's threatening suicide, I should check on her."

Michael felt relieved, thinking she had come around.

Lucy had been in a bad mood all day.

After talking with Owen on the rooftop, Michael had left the company without hesitation.

She had expected Owen to come back with good news, telling her why Michael fired her. Maybe it was just a mistake.

But Owen had avoided eye contact.

His reaction confirmed her fears. Michael had made up his mind. to dismiss her.

She had been feeling down all day, so much so that she hadn't responded when people at the company talked to her.

After work, she had dragged Owen to a tavern.

There, she had been drinking one glass after another and sobbing at the same time.

"Michael won't forgive me, right? Owen, when Chloe and I were by the pool, I really slipped and fell. I explained it to Michael, but he didn't believe me and scolded Chloe." Owen patted her back, feeling sorry for her.

"Lucy, Michael isn't the right man for you."

He knew she had dated Michael in school. But it was all in the past.

Michael was married and treating her poorly. Why should she still defend him?

Lucy shook her head. "No, you misunderstand. Michael and I are just good friends. I don't want to lose him!"

As she finished speaking, someone at a nearby table burst into laughter.
