Marriage Lies and a Dangerous Obsession novel Chapter 33

Chapter 33

In the silent room, Chloe’s cries of hurt and despair echoed in everyone’s ears, getting louder.

lan stood by the bed, watching Chloe sobbing in Jill’s arms, unable to keep his eyes on her.

Miranda, having rushed over after receiving her daughter’s call, arrived just in time to witness the scene

After greeting Frank, Miranda pushed her son aside and walked to the bedside. “Chloe, tell mom how you got

hurt.”

Chloe stopped her tears. “Miranda, I’m fine. I tripped and fell in the supermarket, just scraped a little skin.

Miranda finally felt relieved.

Chloe got out of bed and took Jill’s hand, saying, “I want to go home.

Even if she sold herself, she still couldn’t come up with the 300 million dollars for the divorce. But she couldn’t keep enduring this. If it went on like this, her life would fall apart, and she wouldn’t be able to keep her job. She had to escape this situation.

Although Chloe said it gently, everyone could hear the underlying meaning in her words.

She didn’t miss home. She wanted to separate from Ian and was preparing for divorce at any moment

Miranda stepped forward to persuade her. “Chloe, if it’s inconvenient for you to stay in the current house, you can move to Blue Cove Residences. It’s closer to the hospital where you work.”

Chloe shook her head and said, “Miranda, thank you, but I want to go home and live with my family.”

Ian stood frozen, staring at Chloe. He walked over to her and said, “It’s fine if you stay with your family for a few days. After a while, I’ll come to pick you up.”

Chloe didn’t argue. The immediate priority was to move back to her parents‘ house and separate from lan for

now.

Jill helped Chloe out of the room, and Ian followed them, only to be stopped by Frank.

Frank said to Miranda, “We’ll take Chloe home for now.”

Miranda understood that Frank was trying to give the Hamilton family respect, and his words were only half- spoken.

She couldn’t force Chloe to stay, so she could only accompany them to the hospital entrance.

Seeing Frank call a taxi, Ian stepped forward to him. “Let me drive you back.”

Frank saw that Ian’s eyes no longer held the pride they once did.

He rejected him completely. “You just go ahead and do what you need to.”

Seeing this, lan had no choice but to step in front of Chloe.

He tentatively reached for Chloe’s arm. “Chloe, it’s too hot. If you don’t want to see me, I’ll have Roben uke you home.”

Chloe didn’t even look up. She pulled away from lan’s hand and leaned clover to fill.

Ian stood helplessly, looking at Jill.

Jill looked at lan, her eyes full of accusation and restraint.

Jan lowered his gaze, his steps faltering as he took a step back.

Mia cautiously stepped forward. “Chloe, why don’t you let Patrick take you both home?

A taxi slowly pulled up, and Frank opened the door, letting Jill and Chloe get in first, then sat in the front passenger seat.

Ian stood still, watching the car drive off, feeling as if something was tightly squeezing his chest, making it hard to breathe.

Miranda’s face turned pale with anger. “They say sons take after their mothers. As your mother, I’ve just put up with your father for both of you. I’ve never been foolish in other things, so why did I end up with a son like you?”

After Mia and Miranda left, Patrick pulled Ian into the car.

The air conditioning was blasting in the car. Ian rolled down the window and lit a cigarette.

Patrick drove out of the hospital lot and parked under a tree by the side of the road. “Do you still need pads? If you do, I can take you to the mall now.”

Ian turned to Patrick, giving him a sharp look.

Patrick responded, “See? If you hadn’t bought the sanitary pads, Andrea’s period wouldn’t have flooded the

streets.”

Ian, exhausted, closed his eyes.

Chloe had always been respectful, always telling her parents the good stuff and keeping the bad things to herself.

Today, she asked her parents to come pick her up, and she planned to tell them about Ian’s affair.

Chloe’s parents had always doted on her and wouldn’t easily let her go back to Ian.

After Chloe returned home, Jill busied herself tidying up her room, and Frank went out to buy groceries.

Chloe did her best to keep her emotions in check, helping them clean up.

In the evening, Frank was cooking in the kitchen while Chloe and her mother helped by washing vegetables

outside the kitchen.

After hesitating for a long time, Chloe finally spoke. “Jill, Frank, I’m planning to separate from lan.”

Frank, stirring the food, lowered his head even further when he heard his daughter’s words.

Jill had already thought of this. “Chloe, tell me the truth. Is Ian seeing someone else?”

Chloe held back her tears, her eyes reddening once more. “His first love came back, and had a son with him, and now he’s raising them outside.”

There was a loud “crash” from the kitchen as Frank threw the pan down, slamming the stove off.

Frank walked out of the kitchen. “Even if the Irvine family is poor, we don’t take the fall for this.”

Jill immediately spoke about divorce. “Chloe, you need to listen to us. A man who’s changed his heart isn’t worth keeping.”

Chloe looked at them, struggling to speak. “Ian has agreed to the divorce, but the Irvine family has to repay him 300 million dollars.”

Frank gripped the pan tightly, his hand trembling uncontrollably.

Jill, heartbroken, held Chloe’s hand. “Silly child, why didn’t you tell us sooner?“”

Chloe cried as she tried to reassure her parents. “Don’t worry. I’ll find a way to divorce him.”
