After speaking, Chloe followed James into the house, not sparing Michael another glance.

Michael's steps wavered. He had never imagined Chloe would leave the country. "So, the baby she is carrying belongs to James, and her departure means she intends to be with him forever?" When Asher found Michael again, Michael was already drunk. "Seriously? You're this wasted at the anniversary celebration of Bright Moon International? It's not even Paramount Airlines' anniversary. Dude, are you for real?" Asher helped Michael off the couch and was exasperated. In a drunken haze, Michael stared vacantly. His mind was filled with thoughts of Chloe, and he hadn't heard a single word Asher had said.

"The party's almost over, and I've never seen you stay this long at any event before." Asher followed his gaze and saw Chloe. "So, it's because of your ex-wife."

As Asher helped Michael up, he continued, "If you can't get over her, maybe you should treat her better. Who knows, you might even reconcile. But if you keep getting drunk like this, she'll only ever be your ex-wife." Michael was prideful. Even though he deeply cared for Chloe, he maintained his accustomed dominance when dealing with her. No woman could put up with that.

Michael watched Chloe standing with Candy. James walked over to her, said something, and the group prepared to leave the ballroom.

Michael stood up without hesitation to follow them, but his drunken state caused him to stumble and nearly fall.

Asher was startled and used all his strength to catch him. "For heaven's sake, can you stop acting like a child?" He never knew Michael had such a childish side. Michael, barely steady on his feet, shook off Asher's hand and hurried after Chloe.
