Chapter 568 Misunderstandings Chloe didn't say anything. She really hadn't made any arrangements.
However, her foreign Language was pretty good, so she figured she could find a place after taking James to the hospital.
Seeing her expression, Michael knew she hadn't sorted it out yet, so he said, "I have a place there. I bought it years ago but never lived in it. If it's nearby, you can stay there." As if afraid she might refuse, Michael added, "I can even transfer the property to your name." Although dealing with the paperwork abroad might be a bit complicated, she wouldn't have to go house hunting from one place to another.
"When did you buy it?" Chloe asked casually.

"I don't want your house. Who knows which woman has stayed there before? Back when you and Lucy were dating abroad, I bet that's where you stayed!" Chloe hadn't expected to bring up Lucy again. "Considering that Lucy and Michael had indeed studied abroad together and dated for a while, who knew if they had lived together? I didn't want to disgust myself by staying in a place where my ex-husband and his mistress might have lived," Chloe thought.
Michael frowned. "When did I ever date Lucy?" Seeing him deny it, Chloe rolled her eyes. "All your friends know you two had a thing. What's the point of lying tonow?" "Lucy had practically bragged toabout how she and Michael had a sweet romance abroad. I hadn't been happy about it, but what could I do? Back then, Michael had treated Lucy like she was something precious. Besides, their relationship had happened before Michael got married, so I really had no grounds to complain.
It just madefeel uncomfortable, that's all," Chloe thought.
Michael grabbed her wrist to stop her from walking away and made her listen.
His expression was severe. "I never dated Lucy. When we were abroad, she said slocal thugs were harassing her and askedto pretend to be her boyfriend." At the time, he was single, and it seemed like a simple favor, so he agreed.
No one had brought it up again afterward, so he had forgotten about it. He never expected Chloe to misunderstand that he and Lucy had been in a relationship.
Chloe listened to his explanation and pressed her lips.
"Why are you tellingthis? Even if you weren't together, you still worked with her at Shawn Heavy Industries and later at Paramount Airlines." She wasn't sure why she was saying all this.
It was like once Lucy was mentioned, she couldn't stop herself from talking about it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMichael sighed. "At the time, Grandpa didn't supportstarting Shawn Heavy Industries. Lucy's investment was crucial, so she beca shareholder. As for her moving to Paramount Airlines, that was my mistake, but I did it to repay a debt." "A debt? What debt?" Chloe thought.
Seeing her confused expression, Michael continued, "Back when we were abroad, she got injured saving me. Her leg was almost amputated. I owe her for that." Chloe scoffed, "Oh, right, you owe her. Why don't you just spend your whole life repaying her?" She thought, "That's precisely what Lucy wanted." "That's not going to happen." He spoke with such determination that it made Chloe fall silent.
"Not that it matters anymore. You had feelings for her back then, anyway." "I had no feelings for her."
Chloe rolled her eyes. "No feelings? Yet you rushed to her side atom midnight when she was sick, and even took her to a couple's restaurant." She was referring to something that happened during their honeymoon abroad.
"What are you talking about?"
Lucy had deleted that Twitter post a long tago, and Chloe hadn't taken a screenshot. However, after Quinn had hacked into Lucy's account, all her tweets had been recovered, and Quinn had saved them in a file. Quinn had sent it to Chloe before, but she hadn't opened it, not wanting to disgust herself.
Now, hearing Michael's denial, she pulled out her phone and opened the file. "Look, the time, place; and people all match. What more is there to say?"
