All Chapters of Unexpected Marriage: The night that changed my life: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

Chloe drove to the school in silence, her thoughts frozen on the moment Ruan walked into the bathroom and saw her naked. The way her body reacted to his gaze still energized her, as if the moment hadn't ended.“When I get back from school, will my dad be home waiting for me?” Chris's voice pulled her back to reality. Chloe had to force her eyes toward him.The car sat in the parking lot when Grace got out, taking the boy in her arms.“Something tells me your dad isn't leaving anymore,” Grace said. Chloe looked at her, thinking it was a tasteless joke and that she shouldn't mislead a child. “I mean, even if you guys move away one day, your father will go with you.”“You shouldn't lie to a child,” Chloe said, resting her bag on her shoulders and looking at the school entrance. “Christopher is old enough to know his father and I are no longer together.”“I believe Aunt Grace,” Chris said as soon as his feet touched the ground. “I also believe Daddy is going to move back in with us.”Chlo

Chloe immediately walked to her classroom. She would rather not allow Elijah any time to question her about Leonidas and their long-past relationship. She felt his intense gaze on her as soon as she crossed the room. Even with the students being rowdy and running around, the atmosphere inside the classroom felt more welcoming than the world outside.It took her ten minutes to calm the children. Chloe loved working with kids and hardly noticed the time passing while she taught. In there, she had no adult problems to solve, no ghosts from the past, and no Ruan constantly reminding her that they were once married and shared an unbreakable bond.She didn't realize the class had ended until she saw the children rushing into the hallway. Chloe had a clear plan: wait for every student to leave, pack her things, run to Christopher’s classroom, and sneak away unnoticed. But her plans fell apart the moment she turned around and saw Elijah standing in the doorway.Their eyes met, and his lips ti

Ruan watched the exact moment tears streamed down Megan's face. Not too long ago, that sight would have broken his heart. He used to hate seeing her cry, but now he felt absolutely nothing but indifference. He saw no sincerity in her grief.“I want to know where I can find Alexander,” Ruan said, and the sudden shift in topic startled Megan. “He needs to pay for assault and property damage.”“You could face charges for making false accusations,” Josephine snapped, raising her voice again. “You don't know who you're messing with, Ruan. If I were you, I'd back off before it's too late.”“If I learned how to deal with you, Josephine, I can handle anyone.”His words hit like targeted bullets, and judging by Josephine's reaction, Ruan had struck a nerve.“Please, Ruan,” Megan rushed forward so quickly he couldn't stop her from touching him. “Stay away from Alexander. My mother is right—he's a dangerous man.”“If you knew he was dangerous, why did you marry him?” Ruan violently shook her off

Chloe's only concern at that moment was Christopher. She studied her son's face, tracing every feature, but she found nothing that could worry her. Christopher remained completely distracted by the phone in his hands, playing his favorite game.She let out a heavy sigh and closed her eyes. She didn't give a damn about what Ruan would think of her decision; her biggest fear was letting Christopher down.Grace hurried over, grabbing Christopher by the arm and inviting him to head to the bedroom. He agreed silently, leaving Chloe entirely alone with Ruan. It was the absolute last thing she wanted right then.She turned her back to him and stared down at her empty plate when she heard his footsteps heading straight for her. Ruan pulled out the chair directly across from her and sat down. He placed his hands on the table and locked his fingers together. It felt like the start of a damn interrogation. The intense way he stared made her feel like a criminal waiting to receive her sentence.A

Ruan stared at Elijah for far too long, making the tension inside the house completely unbearable. Chloe realized how easily someone could misinterpret the situation, just like what happened at the school. Her immediate instinct made her step directly between the two men."Elijah just stopped by to talk about the school," she said, forcing a smile as her face flushed red.Why on earth was she defending herself, anyway? Ruan wasn't her husband anymore; he didn't need to know her every move.Ruan didn't glance at her for a single second; his eyes remained locked onto Elijah."Did you tell him you're leaving town?" Ruan demanded, and Elijah's expression proved he already knew everything. "I get the feeling that if I hadn't overheard you talking about it, you would have told him way before me."Chloe parted her lips, taking his words as a direct insult, but before the situation could spiral out of control, Elijah stepped up to defuse it."I am Chloe's boss, nothing more, so it's only natu
