After Divorcing My Captain Husband
Chapter 291 An Intelligent Woman
Chloe did not look at him, just turned off the room’s lights and let the desk lamp illuminate the book in front of her.
Michael leaned against the bay window, his legs tightly drawn, clearly uncomfortable.
But when he looked at Chloe, the warm light cast on half of her face made her look particularly gentle.
Her jawline was sharply defined, her facial folds almost perfect.
He had always known Chiloe was beautiful, but he had never really looked closely before.
He was not someone who judged solely based on appearances.
No matter hour good-looking someone was, if they were empty-handed, he would not like them.
For the past few years, he had always thought Chloe was that kind of prison.
But now, he was increasingly feeling that she had many sides unknown to him, like a fog waiting for him to explore.
He looked at the book in Chloe’s lund, Borges’ original poetry collection.
“Another, the Same”.
In college, almost no one around him liked Borges
It was either Shakespeare or the universally known Byro
Almost everyone had a copy of “Don Quixote.”
He had never thought that Chloe would read Borges’ poetry.
Perhaps the atmosphere at this moment was just too beautiful for him to bear to break, so he had been silent, just quietly watching Chloe
Each of Borges’ poems was not long, but it took a long time to read deeply
So every night, Chloe would read two poems. After understanding, she would turn off the light and sleep.
When she closed the book, Michael, who had been silent all along, asked. “Which poem do you like the most?”
Chloe was startled by his voice.
She had just forgotten that he was still sitting by the bay window. His sudden speaking made her feel like she had seen a ghost.
ed at hina.
She raised her hand to pat her chest and glanced at
“Just sleep peacefully when sleeping, do you know that speaking suddenly scares people to death!”
Looking at her coquettish appearance, Michael rarely became angry, but he felt good.
All the lights in the room went out, and only the moonlight outside the bay window was faintly flowing
Michael listened to Chloe’s gradually steady voice, and his mood slowly callmed down,
During this time, he had already discovered that he did not sleep well at night.
Not only did he dream more, but he also woke up often
He thought it was just because he did not rest well or because there were too many things going on during this period of time.
Put in the few days at the Shawn Maner, Chloe slept beside Lins, and he did not wake up in the middle of the night again
Bark at Lolus Manor, she slept in a separate room from him, and he began to have trouble sleeping again.
Chapter 291 An Intelligent Woman
The next day, when Michael woke up, it was the most peaceful day he had slept since returning to Lotus Manor
Although his legs were almost numb from curling up, his spirit was exceptionally full.
Chloe came out of the bathroom after washing up and saw that he was awake before saying, “You slept with me yesterday, so I hope you can keep your word and do not touch Candy.”
Michael was stunned.
She had not agreed to any of his requests yesterday.
“I remember my request was for you to return to the master bedroom.”
Chloe frowned, “What is the difference? Anyway, you slept in the same room with me!”
After speaking, she did not give him a chance to argue and went straight downstairs.
Michael found it funny that Chloe was quite good at being unreasonable!
After breakfast, Michael received a call from Admina, saying that Thanksgiving was approaching and reminding them to come back for dinner on time
“Do not worry, Grandpa, I will bring Chloe back.”
After hearing this, Chloe felt that she had been tricked again.
As soon as the phone hung up, she immediately said, “Should you not discuss with me before you promise anything?”Text © 2024 CHâP-T.èR$Fl.òW-cøm.
Michael casually put down his phone, put a layer of butter on the bread.
“It is almost Thanksgiving. Grandpa asks us to go back for dinner. We used to go back every year.”
Admas is a very traditional man; be celebrates basically all major holidays.
The people of the Shawn family have long been accustomed to putting down their work on that day and going back to the Lotus Manor to accompany
Admas.
In the past,
Chloe could accompany him, but now she had no interest.
She felt exhausted just going back for Admas’ birthday last time.
“I would not go, find a reason to tell Grandpa.”
She lowered her head and continued to eat breakfast,
Michael frowned.
“Now w that we have moved out, Grandpa rarely gets to see us, just once a year. There are not many holidays left. You cannot even put on
Chloe felt a bit choked with bread in front of her and took the warm milk beside her.

little act?
Just as she took a sip and was about to answer Michael’s question, her stomach churned again, causing her to bend over and retch bende her

Michael looked at her distressed expression and immediately stepped forvened to pat her back.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
“What is wrong with you? This is not the first time you hat
have retched?”
Chloe’s face was extremely pale; she did not understand why she had been feeling uncomfortable in her stomach lately,
And whenever she smelled something fishy, she felt like throwing up.
“Chloe, how long has it been since your last period?”
Suddenly. Michael’s tone became serious, making Chloe shiver.
She thought, “Could it be?
My last period was over two months ago.
Although my menstrual cycle had always been irregular, it had never been this late before.”
Seeing her silence, Michael crouched in front of her.
“Look at me, how long has it been since your last period?”
Chloe’s mind was in chaos.
She remembered the last time she and Michael had been together, it was before she had mentioned divorce.
Counting the days, it seemed to match perfectly!
And her period had been delayed for so long.
There were also these signs during her daily life.
Could it be… she was pregnant?
But she had taken a pregnancy test from Candy, and it showed a negative result
There should not be any issue.
She looked back at Michael with a bewildered expression, noticing the complex emotions in his eyes, and abruptly waved his hand away.
“What are you panicking for? Are you afraid that if I have a child, it will become an obstacle between you and Lucy? Do not worry, Mr. Shawn. I have used a pregnancy test before, and I am not pregnant!” Ignoring her sarcastic remarks, Michael was only concerned about her health.
“If you are not pregnant, why do you keep feeling retching?”
With this thought, he stood up, grabbed Chloe’s arm, and said firmly, “Let’s go to the hospital!
Whether y
you are pregnant or not, you cannot continue like this. We need to get you checked properly.”
At the mention of the hospital, Chloe almost instinctively resisted.
Wendy had been in the hospital for so many years and still had not been cured of her illness.
So Chloe did not trust hospitals at all.
Plus, she was alın
She was afraid that if she really was pregnant, Michael would make her have an abortion.
“Let go of me, I am not going
Chapter 292 Get Pregnant
Chloe was pulled up by him, and her emotions were a bit agitated.
“Chloe, this is not the time for you to be stubborn!”
Michael thought. “Did she not care about her own body?
It had been almost half a month since the last time she retched.
She had not felt better for half a month. What if it was a serious illness?”
Chloe was nervous, looking at Michael and reproaching, “Why are you so nervous about letting me go to the hospital? Are you worried that I have a child, so you want me to have an abortion?” Michael choked. He thought, “When did I ever say that I wanted her to have an abortion?”
“I know you do not want to have a child. You have always been using contraception, never forgetting to take the pills. What are you
Even if it was the last time they were together that night, she forgot about it, she bought the pills to make up for it the next day, Michael was full of helplessness on his face, having no answer.
“I am not trying to force you to have an abortion. Right now, you are not even sure if you are pregnant!”
We are getting divorced, Michael. Honestly ask yourself, if I am pregnant now, would you let me keep this child?”
Chloe asked twice in succession, each question stroke directly at Michael’s heart..
He had never considered this question before.
Initially, he did not like Chloe.
He admitted that at first, he had never thought about having a child with her.
But now… he was not sure.
Chapter 293 Having Check-up
Even when he realized that she was pregnant, his first thought was not about abortion, but that he was going to have his own child!
The emotions surging in his heart were happiness, not annoyance.
He was looking forward to having a child with her.
However, the way Chloe looked at him become even cokler.
She thought, “He did not speak, which meant that way earlier doubts were all true, right?”
Thinking of this, Chloe’s heart was filled with bitterness.
She gritted her teeth and pushed away Michael who was standing in front of her.
“I know my
own body well enough, so there’s no need for you to worry!”
With that, she grabbed her bag from the sofn and left without looking back
Michael stood frozen in place, somewhat at a loss.
Emma watched from the side.
“Mr. Shawn, Mrs. Shawn is probably very scared right now. It might be better to seait until she comes back tonight to calmly tell her that you want this chikl Michael took a deep breath and nodded,
After leaving Lotus Manor, Chloe did not go to Bri
Bright Moon International, but instead took leave and headed straight to Glory Villa
An hour and a half later, three people
people were sitting in Glory Villa.
One was Candy, another was Chloe, and the third was Quinn.
It was not Candy who called Quinn over at this critical moment, but he had planned to see Candy today and happened to be home
At this moment, the three of them stared at each other, unable to say anything
“Um, Chloe, are you saying that you…are pregnant?”
Candy’s eyes were full of shock. She could not believe that overnight, Chloe had told her that she was pregnant.
It was obviously fine yesterday!
Quinn was also somewhat at a loss.This belongs to chãPtēRsFlôW-cóm – ©.
He had been waiting for Chloe to divorce, but instead of the divorce news, he received the news of her pregnancy.
He thought, “If she gave birth to Michael’s child, would it mean that their marriage could not be ended?
Would 1 s
still have a chance?”
Candy glanced at Quinn, then cautiously asked, “So Chloe, if you are really pregnant, are you still going to divorce?”
On the way here, Chloe had been thinking about this question all along
She thought, “If I had a child and gave i
e birth to it, and then divorced Michael, the child would come from a broken family.
But if I did not divorce, did I have to spend my life tied to Michael, enduring such agonizing days for the sake of the child?” “Yes, let the child will stay”
The child had nothing to do with Micharl
Candy, who had only recently started dating and had no experience of pregnancy and childbirth, was also confused now.
“Let’s go to the hospital for a check-up first. Do not wony, in case of any misunderstanding, I will make an appointment for you. Wait a moment!”
Candy was even more nervous than Chiloe, taking out her phone to make an appointment with the most famous gynecologist here.
But who knew that when she checked the date, “Next Monday, I have made an appointment for you! I will accompany you with Quinn!”
Chloe buried her head, feeling utterly dejected.
Candy and Quinn also looked very womed.
They thought, “How did this happen? How did she end up pregnant at the last moment!”
After leaving Glory Villa, Chloe received a call from James.
She did not clock in today, but James had something to do early in the morning, so he saw her text message close to noon,
“You have only been on the job for a few days, and you are already skipping work?”
Hearing James’ nonchalant tone, Chloe felt a lump in her throat.
“Is Bright Moon International not supposed to be considerate of its employees? I am not feeling well!”
Then she hung up the phone.
James held the phone, feeling a bit apprehensive.
He thought, “Who upset Chloe again?”

The nurse had never seen Chloe so angry before, and she was
was momentarily stunned.
“Ms. Nelson, we are deeply sorry for the hospital’s negligence,” she said earnestly after Chloe took several deep breaths to calm herself.
“Did my mom see anyone today, eat anything unusual, or hear anything? Chloe inquired.
The last time Wendy had a similar outburst was when Lacy and Tiffany came over.
But the nurse shook her head. “She has not seen anyone recently.
Since Chloe instructed not to let Wendy meet strangers, the hospital had been taking it very seriously.
hany news or receive any phone calls?”
“Did she watch any news or re
Chloe could not believe Wendy’s condition would worsen without external stimuli.
There must have been a trigger
Upon hearing Chloe’s question, the nurse tried hard to recall
The nurse thought. “Patients in their hospital were hardly allowed to use their phones.
Apart from supervised calls to Chloe, she could not use her phone independently
Moreover, the TV in her ward only had a few fixed channels, nothing that could have caused her distress recently.
Besides, there had not been any news about Ms. Nelson on during this period!
So, what could have caused her sudden illness?”
After pondering for a few minutes, the nurse suddenly remembered something and looked at Chloe intently. “Oh, I remember. She received a package this morning! “A package?”
“What was inside? Who sent it?”
The nurse walked into Wendy’s ward and searched around until she found the package in a corner,
Chloe checked it carefully. There was no sender’s name on the package, just a symbol
Even the delivery address was not local.Text © 2024 chäP_t-è_RsFlow-Com.
The delivery note revealed nothing,
Quietly lying inside the package was a small doll, about the size of a palm.
But when Chloe saw the doll, her breath stagnated, and she felt her blood run cold.
She recognized this doll!
That day, when Wendy went to see her friend and did not come back at night, it was raining heavily.
So, Chloe went to Lucy’s house, feeling less frightened with someone accompanying her.
It was there that she went into Lucy’s bedroom.
As soon as she entered, she found many things in the bedroom to be very familiar.
Her own Barbie dolls and plush toys, eerily similar to hers, just different in color.
These were gills Jacobs often brought back from business trips.
Chapter 295 A Puppet Doll
At that young age, she had not thought much about it, assuming Jacob felt pity for them and bought extra gifts.
She did not mind Lucy having the same doll!
But there was one doll on Lucy’s desk that looked…very strange!
Chloe leaned over the desk and scrutinized it carefully. She had a feeling she had seen this doll before.
“Chloe, does this doll not look like your mom?
Lucy suddenly remarked, and everything clicked into place for Chloe.
“It does! Where did you get it?”
At the time, Lucy only smirked but did not tell where she got the doll from.
It was only later, after everything came to light, that Chloe learned Tiffany had custom-made the doll
Tiffany wanted to see Wendy being manipulated like a puppet between her and Jacob’s hands.
The feeling of being in control of everything made her feel at ease.
When everything was exposed, Tiffany even taunted Wendy with the doll, smiling at her.
“Wendy, you are just a doll, clueless about everything. You think you are well-protected, but in reality, you have been kept in the dark. Even if you kno everything now, you cannot change a thing!” :
Chapter 296 True Feelings
This doll was Wendy’s nightmare.
It was her thomie!
For so many years, Chloe thought Tiffany had already thrown away this doll.
After all, Jacob had passed away long ago. Seeing a doll that looked so much like Wendy, would Tiffany not be frightened?
But someone as twisted as Tiffany
She would not find it terrifying, only saw it as her trophy.
It was her victory in this battle, ber medal on the wall!
At this moment, Chloe held the doll in her hand, trembling with anger.
laside the package, there was also a small note.
“You will always be a doll, just like your daughter.”
The nurse stood beside Chloe, somewhat at a loss as she looked at the note.
But she also knew it was not something good.
“Ms. Nelson, we apologize for our negligence. We really did not know there was an issue with this doll!”
Chloe could not listen to anything the nurse was
was saying right now.
All she could think about was finding Lucy and Tiffany immediately to settle this score.
On the other side, Michael rushed to the hospital and saw Tiffany still in the operating room, while Lucy was sitting outside, tears streaming down her face, trembling all over. He thought, “Her condition was not good.
Her once always neat hair was now somewhat disheveled.”
Lucy turned her head upon hearing the sound, and the moment she saw Michael, she immediately got up and rushed towards him.
With a twist of her feet, she was about to fall, and he could only reach out and grab her wrist.
Lucy fell into his arms and cried bitterly
“Michael, what should I do if my mother has not come out yet? Will everything be okay?”
She bugged at Michael’s sleeve, causing him to frown his brows slightly,
He calmly moved away from the distance between the tro,
“It is okay, Aunt Wendy will come out safely.”
The two of them sat outside and wasted together, Lucy was only wearing a home outfit.
The hospital windows were open, and it was another cloudy and rainy day.
The wind blew in, making her shiver a little from the cold
Michael sighed softly and took off his coat, putting it on her.
His warmth immediately enveloped Lucy, making her feel much warmer
She booked her lips, revealing a faint smile.
“Michael it is great to have you here!”
Michael remained unchanged, softly saying, “Lucy, we are friends and colleagues, but in the future, if you have anything, it is better to contact Owen first. I am afraid Chloe might misunderstand.” Lucy, who had just warmed up a bit, suddenly stiffened again because of these words.
“But Michael, you clearly told me before that you do not like Chloe.”
