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!
