After Divorcing my Captain Husband

Chapter 416 A Slap

Michael dispatched Ethan to deliver the ticket and promptly drove over, his urgency fueled by the fear of missing Chloe.

His heart finally settled slightly when he saw her.

"You're really here!"

Chloe frowned and responded with sarcasm, "I didn't expect you to be a fan of Borges, Mr. Shawn. I thought your reading material was limited to business success manuals." Michael was momentarily silenced.

He felt the sting of her words and wondered if she was mocking his world of profit-driven business acumen.

"Chloe, must you be so cutting? Didn't you come here today hoping for a chance to talk to me?"

Michael misunderstood her sarcasm due to her strong sense of pride.

"Mr. Shawn, you overestimate yourself. Had I known you'd be here, I'd have chosen tomorrow."

The poetry gathering spanned three days.

Thus, her encounter with Michael felt like a stroke of bad luck.

As Chloe headed to the restroom and passed him, Michael grasped her wrist.

"Chloe, I want to discuss the possibility of our remarriage."
