After Divorce, I Returned as the Army's Queen novel Chapter 45

Chapter 45 She’s Leaving His Life for Good

Chloe agreed to Brian’s suggestion in the end. She didn’t want Allen to take on this extra burden because

of her.

Besides, three months wasn’t a very long time for Chloe either. It would be over in the blink of an eye.

But before they parted ways, Allen still gave her a quiet reminder. Remember, you’ve already been discharged from duty. You must prioritize your own safety no matter what. If you really do find yourself caught in a lifethreatening situation, keeping yourself alive should be your utmost priority. Got it?

Chloe knew that Allen was deeply concerned for her safety.

Got it. Don’t worry, I know my priorities,Chloe responded.

Allen sighed long and hard. Even though Chloe had retired from the military, Allen knew that her soldierly instincts would still make her prioritize completing the mission.

Chloe was Jenna and Walter’s daughter after all. She had the soul of a soldiera fact that couldn’t be

changed by anybody.

All I pray for is that you keep yourself safe and sound no matter what, Chloe. I’m sure your parents hope the same for you too,Allen said kindly.

Tears filled Chloe’s eyes. It took some time for her to compose herself before she quietly hummed in

assent.

Once Allen left, Brian turned to Choe and said, So, you’re headed for Yarfdale tomorrow.

Yes.

Need a drive home?Brian offered.

No, thank you. I drove her.Chloe refused.

Brian smiled slightly. Alright. We’ll be seeing each other again soon enough anyway.

Chloe pursed her lips, staying silent.

She would just be Brian’s bodyguard for three months. The mission would be over and done with soon

enough!

The moment Curtis returned home, he shut himself in his bedroom. The once warm and loving space now frightened him with how empty it was.

The room was devoid of Chloe’s belongings now. The wardrobe, the bedside table, the cupboardnone of her personal items were anywhere to be seen. She’d already taken everything with her while Curtis was

none the wiser.

Chapter 45 She’s Leaving His Life for Good

2/4

It was as if she’d left his life for good.

Someone suddenly knocked on the door. Helen’s and Joanne’s voices then rang out from outside.

But Curtis ignored them. He continued poring through the room to search for anything Chloe might’ve left

behind.

When Curtis opened up the bedside table drawer, he was stunned. Inside were two ringsthe ones that he’d bought for himself and Chloe at the flea market all those years ago. They’d only cost 200 dollars at

the time.

Once I earn more money, I’ll buy you a proper diamond ring!Curtis had promised Chloe.

Meanwhile, Chloe had smiled gently at him in return. She’d gladly worn the wedding ring without the least

bit of disdain.

Curtis took the two wedding rings, recalling the promise he’d made to Chloe.

Even though Curtis had become wealthy and was able to buy Chloe a fine diamond ring, he still hadn’t

fulfilled his promise to hernot even when their divorce was at hand.

Curtis blamed himself for all of it.

He continued searching the bedroom for some time, looking for any other belongings Chloe might’ve left behind. He wasn’t able to find anything else besides the two wedding rings.

It was only then that Curtis realized that he and Chloe had never taken wedding photos together throughout their entire marriage. Originally, they’d decided to save up and only go for a photoshoot once they were more financially stable.

But as time passed, they slowly forgot about the matter and ultimately decided it wasn’t necessary

anymore.

The knocks on the door grew louder. Curtis finally went over and opened it.

Are you okay, Curtis?Joanne asked in concern.

Curtis looked deeply upset as he clutched the two wedding rings tightly.

That bitch, Chloe, is the reason for all this. I told youyou shouldn’t have married someone like her!

Helen grumbled through her pain.

Both of Helen’s cheeks were swollen. So each time she spoke, pain lanced through her face.

That’s enough! Neither of you is allowed to insult Chloe any longer. She’s never once done me wrong throughout our three years together!Curtis snapped. In fact, he was the one who’d done Chloe a great disservice.

I wouldn’t be where I am now if it weren’t for Chloe!

Are you really going to side with Chloe, Curtis? All because of that 153 million dollars?Joanne huffed.

All Chloe did was give you the money to start your business. You’re the one who did all the hard work to make it successful. It has nothing to do with Chloe. In fact, you should take all the credar

Curtis stayed silent. He used to have the same train of thought as Joanne. But right now he wasn’t so

certain of it anymore

Chloe and I haven’t officially divorced yet, which means I’m still her husband, tort it only right that i side

with her?Curtis retorted

Joanne was shocked. What’s happened to you, Curtis? You never used to side with Chloet

Shock flared across Curtisface.

It was only that he realized he had never once sided with Chloe throughout their marriage. Whenever

Chloe got into an argument, Curtis would always blame her first.

The quilt and regret in Curtischest grew stronger. He suddenly said, How much money do the two of you

have? Can you lend me some?

You’re not really going to give Chloe the 153 million dollars, are you, Curtis?Joanne asked,

I’m not givingit to Chloe; I’m returning it to her,Curtis replied. I need you guys to give me all the money

you have saved up.

I don’t have any money!Joanne cried, avoiding Curtisgaze out of guilt.

Didn’t you ask me for money when the company’s capital was low? I don’t have much on me anymore,
