Chapter 2 Take Care of Yourself
- Gina scoffed at Aaron. "Are you stupid? How would I know if there's any money in it?"
- "How can a lazy loser like you have seventy-five thousand dollars?"
- "Don't be ridiculous!"
- Gina rolled her eyes.
- Aaron gritted his teeth and looked at Gina fiercely. For a moment, Gina feared Aaron might want to kill her!
- "Gina, I regret to have lived with you for three years!"
- "I also regret that you're Chloe's mother!"
- Gina opened her mouth but didn't know what to say. For some reason, she was suddenly scared!
- Aaron no longer looked at Gina and shifted his gaze to Chloe.
- "I'll be waiting for you at the Civil Affairs Bureau in Lagoon City tomorrow morning!"
- After speaking, Aaron turned around to leave.
- But after a few steps, Aaron suddenly stopped.
- "About my stuff, don't bother packing them. Just throw them away ... "
- "Anyway, I won't be coming back!"
- "Seven years ... "
- "Chloe, I really regret it!"
- "Perhaps I shouldn't have met you in the first place ... "
- After Aaron finished speaking, he walked out of the gate of the Sallow family without looking back.
- The night in Lagoon City was freezing.
- Aaron wandered on the road. A red Ferrari engine roared behind him, and the car turned around at the fastest speed. Finally, it stopped in front of Aaron.
- The door of the Ferrari opened, and a pair of long and fair legs stepped out of the car. Then, a woman wearing a tight white dress with silky long hair smiled charmingly at Aaron.
- This woman was even taller and slimer than Chloe.
- In terms of appearance, she was also more attractive than Chloe.
- "Mr. Louis, I just received a call from Mr. Clarke asking me to pick you up." The woman walked to Aaron.
- Aaron took out a cigarette from his pocket. He lit it and held it in his mouth. "It's been so late. I'm sorry to trouble you."
- The woman next to him, named Lydia Quill, was also one of his college classmates. But unlike Chloe, Lydia was the campus belle at that time.
- During the four years in college, Lydia naturally would not interact with Aaron.
- But three months ago, when Lydia joined the Skylark Group, she accidentally discovered that her old college classmate had become the company's president!
- Since that day, Lydia has been obsessed with Aaron.
- Lydia even gave up her position as a supervisor because of Aaron for the sake of being his secretary.
- Lydia stays with Aaron every day, hinting at him openly and discreetly.
- Even after learning that Aaron was married, Lydia's evil intentions persisted.
- "Looking at your appearance, did you quarrel with Chloe again?"
- Lydia leaned next to Aaron and looked at his face. For a moment, she was a little obsessed.
- Aaron smiled bitterly and shook his head while smoking a cigarette.
- "It's not a quarrel ... "
- "I'm getting divorced!"
- "Divorce?"
- Lydia frowned.
- Aaron took a deep breath. "She looks down on me, thinking I'm just a loser and does not deserve Chloe, that arrogant woman."
- Lydia stopped and looked at Aaron in astonishment.
- "Why?"
- "Don't they know who you are?"
- As the president of the Skylark Group, he humbled himself. He became the matrilocal son-in-law of the Sallow family for three years. Yet, he was despised and kicked out?
- In Lagoon City, everyone knew about the Skylark Group!
- This giant company had occupied 50% of Lagoon City's GDP in just three years!
- Therefore, the president of the Skylark Group was an influential person in Lagoon City!
- Such a man could destroy the Sallow family as easily as crushing an ant!
- How could he be called a loser?
- Lydia was stunned.
- Were the Sallow family out of their minds?
- Aaron stamped out the cigarette butt and smiled bitterly again.
- "When I returned to Lagoon City three years ago, Chloe's father happened to pass away. Their company fell into a debt crisis. Even their relatives wanted to occupy the inheritance left by her father. During that time, Chloe's mental state was not good."
- "So, I decided to stop working and stay with her every day. Doing the laundry, cooking, and taking care of her. I just wanted to accompany her and help her recover as soon as possible so that she wouldn't do anything foolish because of her father's death."
- "But it turns out that everything was just my wishful thinking!"
- Aaron's hand trembled slightly. He has wasted three years of feelings in just one night.
- Lydia was moved and reached out to hug Aaron. "You still have me."
- "Can you give me a chance?"
- "I really like you."
- Lydia's eyes turned red as she raised her head and looked at Aaron.
- Aaron didn't speak, nor did he push Lydia away.
- After a long while, Aaron sighed deeply. "It's getting late. Drive me home."
- Lydia lowered her head and released her grip on Aaron's hand but still held onto him.
- They both returned to the car, and Lydia drove Aaron back to the residential area.
- Oceanus Bay.
- It was the most expensive villa area in Lagoon City and one of the properties developed by the Skylark Group.
- Among them, Villa Number 001 was guarded with strict security measures all year round. No one knew who lived inside.
- Only Lydia knew that it was Aaron's home.
- Noon, Civil Affairs Bureau.
- Aaron looked at the stamp on the photo of the divorce certificate and suddenly felt a bit dizzy.
- In seven years, his love for Chloe seemed to have ended entirely!
- "Aaron, the marriage is over. From today onwards, there is no relationship between you and me!"
- Chloe picked up the divorce certificate and looked at Aaron.
- Aaron stood up and was about to leave, but Chloe obstructed his path.
- "Aaron, are you so heartless?"
- There was a trace of sullenness on Chloe's face. After all, they had been married for three years. She couldn't understand why Aaron was so cold-blooded.
- Even though this marriage was meaningless!
- Nevertheless, they had been living together for three years!
- Looking at Aaron's calm face, Chloe felt uncomfortable all over.
- She was the one who dumped Aaron, this loser, but why did she feel like she was abandoned?
- Aaron looked at Chloe and stretched out his hand to smooth Chloe's hair behind her ear.
- "From now on, you're on your own. Take care of yourself."
- Chloe was speechless and felt suffocated.
- Why did Chloe feel as though she had lost something important?
- Was it Aaron?
- Impossible! There was nothing worth reminiscing about this loser. Divorcing him was just for a better future!
