After Divorcing my Captain Husband

Chapter 417 Too Ordinary

Yet, if Chloe hadn't hidden the truth, she might not have secured custody of her child.

She placed a hand on her belly, whispering, "Baby, you won't blame your mother, will you?"

All she desired was for her child to remain by her side.

As the sky darkened, Chloe idly kicked at the sand.

"Lovely lady, are you alone? A storm's brewing; let us escort you home."

A whistle pierced the air, startling Chloe. Turning, she saw two men in disheveled clothes with unkempt beards. Their expressions were lascivious when they winked at her suggestively. Receiving no answer from Chloe, one of them spoke up, "Lady, are you unhappy? There's a bar nearby. Let's go over and have a drink?"

Chloe knew her safest bet was to leave swiftly.

She turned to go, but the men directly touched her shoulders.

"Don't be in such a hurry..."

With a resounding "bang," Chloe spun around to see Quinn delivering a single punch that floored the two men.

He frowned, his foot delivering hard kicks to the prone figures.

"Stop kicking. It hurts..."

The skinny men, realizing their vulnerability, would never have approached had Chloe not been alone.
