Marriage Lies and a Dangerous Obsession novel Chapter 115

Chloe saw Arthur’s tone and expression and knew instantly–it had to be a call from lan

She reached out to grab the phone, but Arthur hung up before she could even touch it.

Chloe rubbed her temples, trying to ease the headache.

She knew Arthur wasn’t a fan of Ian.

Still, she reminded him sternly, “Mr. Logan, you can’t just answer other people’s calls or go through their phone. That’s just basic respect.”

Arthur just shrugged, all innocent. “Guess I’m used to it. Next time, warn me first”

Chloe was speechless.

Forget it.

Worst case, she could just go back and have it out with Ian Hamilton again.

Right now, nobody was more important to her than the one paying her bills.

Her gaze landed on the bedding, and she asked, “Do you have any other colors?”

Arthur pointed at the closet.

Chloe rummaged around for a while, finally finding a new set of bedding and tossing it onto the bed. “Change out the sheets, take away the scented candle on the table, and get rid of that high–tech feature wall behind the bed.”

Arthur grabbed a pillow and perched on the bedside table. “I have no idea how to deal with any of this stuff.”

Chloe gazed at Arthur for a while, then let out a sigh and went over to help him change the sheets

Meanwhile, Arthur was fiddling with his phone, admiring how good his handsome face looked on the screen.

At that moment, downstairs by the entrance, Ian stepped out of his car, his face stormy.

“You sure they’re up on the eleventh floor?” lan asked.

Mitchell nodded. “Mr. Hamilton, according to our investigation, Mr. Logan bought the apartment on the eleventh floor in your building a few days ago. And that sports car next to Mr. Lewis’s spot? That’s his

Ian waved him off. “You can head back.”

He was inside the elevator before Mitchell could say a word.

Just as the doors were about to close, Patrick slipped in at the last second.

The two exchanged a quick look, then Patrick looked off to the side.

lan’s face was stormy, and he didn’t say a word to Patrick.

When the elevator hit the ninth floor and lan didn’t get out, Patrick glanced back–only then did he realize something was seriously off about lan’s expression.

The elevator stopped on the eleventh floor, and Ian stepped out. Patrick followed right behind him.

Ian glanced back at Patrick, then pressed the doorbell.

Arthur opened the door, and when he saw Ian and Patrick standing there, he tried to slam it shut.

But lan moved faster–he pushed the door open before Arthur could close it, and Patrick followed after him.

lan didn’t say a word. Without missing a beat, he strode straight to the master bedroom.

When he saw Chloe making the bed, his face was so dark it looked like a thunderstorm was about to break loose.

He strode over to Chloe, doing his best not to lose it, and snatched the pillow out of her hands.

“It’s late. Come home with me,” he said.

Chloe could tell Ian was just about at his breaking point.

She picked up the incense diffuser from the nightstand, getting ready to leave with Ian.

On her way out, she called to Arthur, “Remember to swap out that tech wall tomorrow.”

Arthur called out as Chloe was about to head out, “Leaving so soon? You haven’t even fixed my pillow yet.”

Ian gave Arthur a sharp warning look. “Just to be clear, my wife is your doctor–not your maid.”

With that, Ian took Chloe’s hand and led her out.

After they left, Patrick looked over at Arthur and joked, “Trying to steal Hamilton’s girl?”

Arthur blinked. “Steal what? What are you talking about?”

Patrick gave Arthur a friendly slap on the shoulder. “Come on, Logan, I’ve got high hopes for you. Go for it!”

A few minutes later, Chloe and lan got home.

Chloe set down her coat and bag, slipped into her slippers, and poured herself a glass of water to wet her

throat.

Ian walked right up to her, his face thunderous, holding himself back. “We agreed I’d pick you up. Why did you leave early?”

Chloe rested against the cabinet, took another sip of water.

Ian’s face, which had finally started to relax, went icy cold again.

Ian demanded, “We agreed I’d pick you up–why didn’t you call when you left early?

Chloe said nothing.

He took a long, sharp breath. “Why were you with him so late? And you let him answer your phone?

Chloe met Ian’s eyes, her lips parted, but she stayed silent.

Ian’s chest heaved with barely contained anger.

“Chloe, do you really think it’s appropriate to be at some man’s place, making his bed in the middle of the night?” Ian snapped.

Chloe set her glass down slowly.

She looked at Ian and asked, “You just hit me with so many questions at once–which one do you want me to answer first?”

The two stared each other down, Ian’s eyes burning with fury.

“You’d better fix your attitude,” he warned.

Chloe’s lips curled into a faintly mocking smile.

“Ian, honestly? Compared to you, my attitude’s already pretty decent,” she shot back.

She added, “I admit, I should’ve let you know I was leaving early. I just spaced out. When I remembered, I reached out right away–called and texted you.”

Ian cut in, “Your message said you were home.”

Chloe pouted, not wanting to start a fight. “I was at the building. That’s basically home, isn’t it? Don’t nitpick over the details, okay?”

Ian glared at Chloe, holding his gaze on her and forcing himself to breathe slow.

Chloe said, “Letting Mr. Logan pick up my call was on me. I just had my hands full and didn’t want to miss you calling. It wasn’t anything else, so don’t get all worked up.”

She continued, “And about helping Mr. Logan with his bed in the middle of the night–seriously, it was no big deal. I just did him a quick favor. You’re totally overthinking it.”

Ian’s breath grew ragged. He ripped off his suit jacket and threw it onto the couch without a second thought.

Chloe could tell Ian was seconds away from losing it.

She tried to calm him down. “Ian, I’m not exactly sneaking out at night and picking up random guys, and I definitely didn’t bring home a secret love child. Relax, it’s really not a big deal.”
