After Divorcing my Captain Husband (Chloe and Michael)

Chapter 663 Tight Embrace

Hearing Chloe's voice, Amanda felt a slight sense of relief. At least Chloe still seemed to be in a coherent state, even if she sounded drained.

"Chloe, everyone at the Miller family is really concerned about you. Please, just come out and let's go home."

Amanda didn't want her to stay with Michael.

But Chloe didn't respond further.

For her, it felt like there was no difference where she stayed; returning to the Miller family was just as unfamiliar.

Not only would she have to meet family members she barely knew, but she'd also need to navigate social interactions, which was the last thing she needed right now.

While staying here with Michael offered her some quiet, she appreciated the solitude.

After waiting for a while without hearing any further response, Amanda sighed, "Alright, Chloe, whenever you're ready to come home, just call me, and I'll send someone to get you. Don't give up on yourself, okay? Things aren't set in stone yet, you know?" Amanda wasn't sure how to comfort Chloe properly-after all, she wasn't the one directly affected and couldn't truly empathize. All she could do was offer what comfort she could.

Downstairs, Russell was waiting. Seeing Amanda come down alone, he frowned. "Where's Chloe?"

Amanda shook her head. "She doesn't want to move right now. Grandpa, let's just let her stay here for now. She's more familiar with this place."

Adams quickly chimed in, "Chloe can't handle any more upheaval, especially with her condition."

Russell shot Adams a sharp look.

After the Miller family members had left, Adams gave Michael a firm pat on the arm. "If you don't give Chloe some answers, I'll lose all respect for you!" Michael knew Adams was referring to William's younger brother.

He retreated to his study and called his assistant.

James, leaning on his cane, knocked gently on the study door. "If you need any military support, I can arrange it."

Chloe's situation was crucial to him, too.

After all, she had saved his life.

"I want William's brother caught. I

want him to suffer beyond imagination," Michael said with a steely gaze, gripping his phone

tightly. net

Chloe had fallen asleep without realizing it. When she woke again, the sky outside was pitch dark.

She had no idea of the time and wasn't inclined to check her phone.

As Chloe fumbled downstairs, she noticed that the place was being renovated.

Everything from the sofas to the tables and even the rugs had been replaced with new, opulent items.

It looked like a complete overhaul, save for the walls, which remained untouched.

Chloe stood at the top of the stairs, bewildered by the sudden changes.

James appeared behind her. "All c this is from the Miller family. You

grandfather said the place looked too shabby, so he replaced everything."

Chloe jumped, instinctively backing away from him.

Seeing her wariness, James felt a pang in his heart. Before she could react further, he wrapped her in a tight embrace. Chloe was startled and tried to break free immediately.

"What are you doing? Let go of me!"

She thought, "I still don't know if I've contracted HIV. Although hugging doesn't transmit it, I can't take that risk.

I'd blame myself endlessly."

But the more she struggled, the tighter James held on. "Stop moving. The more you struggle, the tighter I hold."

His words made Chloe's eyes well up with tears.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
