After Divorcing my Captain Husband (Chloe and Michael)

Chapter 405 Chloe's Grief and Resolve

The screen showed the call was still ongoing.

Asher glanced sympathetically at Michael and dialed with his own phone again.

Today, Chloe had dinner with Candy, Quinn, and Jessica.

They were celebrating her finally getting her divorce done.

When Quinn saw the divorce certificate in her hands, his eyes suddenly lit up with admiration.

"Chloe, congratulations!"

Candy raised her glass to toast her, but Chloe, being pregnant, had to settle for water instead of alcohol.

"When will you go pick up your things from Lotus Manor?"

"I don't need them anymore."

Actually, there wasn't much there.

"You can't just leave it. You left with practically nothing, and you even took the blame for cheating and getting pregnant. You should at least take back what's yours, and your car is still at Lotus Manor." Chloe thought it made sense.

She didn't care about Paramount Airlines' shares or the Shawn family's stuff, but her personal belongings had to come back.

She also remembered Wendy's photos were there.

"Let me know when you're going back. I'll hire a few top-notch go-go dancers to accompany you. We can't let it be anything less than grand!"

Chloe glanced at Candy, not entirely approving of her suggestion.

"Thanks, but I don't need go-go dancers."

After dinner, they went out, shopped, and watched a comedy movie.

It was already dark outside.

"Are you going back to Urban Lane?"

Chloe nodded.

"Then go back with Quinn; it's on the way."

Candy pushed Quinn out, and he shyly touched the back of his head.

Chloe didn't feel awkward; she turned to him after saying goodbye to Candy and Jessica. "Let's go, and we'll catch a taxi."

On the way, Quinn naturally positioned himself on her left, closer to the road.

"After your divorce, is Michael giving you a hard time?"

He was worried Michael might seek revenge.

"He did everything he could before I got the divorce done. Now we have no relationship."

There were even no benefits involved, so what could he do?

Quinn sighed in relief upon hearing this. "What are your plans for the future?"

Chloe wasn't worried about the future.

"I'll have more time with the team, Bright Moon International is still going strong, and I have projects with the Opal Group. Don't worry about me being short on cash." Chloe smiled brightly.

Quinn had initially thought she was forcing herself to smile at dinner.

Now he realized he had been worrying for nothing.

"And the baby in your belly..."

Chloe touched her still-flat stomach.

She hadn't fully accepted being pregnant yet; the news had come too suddenly.

But now that she was divorced, she would definitely have the baby.

"I'll raise the child myself, and I can register as a single parent now. It's not a big deal."

Before, it was troublesome to register a child as a single parent after a divorce.

"As your belly grows, won't he suspect something if you stay here?"

Chloe chuckled softly. "No, he thinks it's someone else's child."

She had considered the future trouble of showing her pregnancy and had smoothly claimed it wasn't his child during the county court hearing today.

Quinn saw that she organized and handled everything very well. She felt somewhat relieved but also felt like he wasn't really needed.

"But there's a project over in Alscia in a couple of days that I can't attend. I might need to trouble you, Candy, and Jessica to go." "What project?"

Chloe smiled, "It's related to the royal family, but it's nothing confidential. Just think of it as getting paid to tour Alscia."

She couldn't go because she had promised James to accompany him to an event that day.

And she trusted Quinn and the others!

Just as they were about to get into a taxi, Chloe's phone rang.

She picked it up and saw it was Asher calling.

She had Asher's number from two years ago when Michael had gone on a business trip for several days and couldn't be reached internationally, so she had to contact Asher at Shawn Heavy Industries. But they hadn't been in touch since then.

It was rare for him to call her today.

She answered the call, hearing Asher say, "Chloe, Michael has had too much to drink. He's on the main road calling your name, refusing to leave. Can you come over?"

Just then, a gust of wind outside signaled an imminent rainstorm.

"Chloe, get in the car; it's about to rain."

Quinn's voice came through to Asher. "Is there someone next to you?"
