Chapter 39 : 55 vouchord " " Ms. Judd , " Chloe called out as soon as she and lan went upstairs to his suite . The moment she saw Lily , Chloe rushed over for a warm hug . Lily grabbed Chloe's hand and pulled her down next to her , while Ian poured them some juice and took a seat across from them . Lily was a celebrity , and even though she was already middle - aged , her sense of style was on point and she radiated effortless charm . She looked at Ian and Chloe with a wistful sigh , repeating , " What a pity . If only you two had a little one running around calling me Ms. Judd , that would make me so happy ." Ian shot a glance at Chloe and replied , " Don't worry , Ms. Judd . As soon as Chloe and I have a baby , you'll be the first to know . " Lily smiled softly , " You two have been married for three years already . Don't you think it's time you started thinking about having a child ? " Ian kept his gaze fixed on Chloe . " You're right , Ms. Judd . I'll do my best to make it happen . " Chloe was getting pretty good at matching Ian's fake smiles , acting along without missing a beat . Still , no way was she going to spoil everything by bringing up the divorce every time . So she casually steered the conversation away . " Ms. Judd , when are you heading back to Kingsford ? Let me know anytime , okay ? " Lily had squeezed this visit in despite her packed schedule , so she couldn't linger . " Don't worry , Chloe . Next time my tour stops in Kingsford , I'll come spend a few days with you guys for sure . " About ten minutes later , Ian and Chloe escorted Lily to the elevator . As soon as the doors slid shut , Chloe shook Ian's hand off her shoulder . Ian quickly caught her wrist , stopping her from leaving . " Chloe , we really need to talk . " Chloe tried to pull away , but his grip only got tighter . Ian stared at her . " Are you coming with me , or do you want me to carry you ? " Chloe glanced around , forcefully shaking off lan's hand . " Let go of me . I can walk by myself . " They headed back to the suite , and lan shut the door behind them . Chloe stood in front of the sofa , her face blank . " lan , I want a divorce . This isn't a tantrum or pettiness . I'm done . You've seen the papers . I'll pay you back 300 million within a month . After that , there's nothing left to talk about . " 13:21 Thu , Oct 2 Chapter 39 Ian moved in front of her , staring in disbelief . " Did you sell your mom's jewelry ? " Chloe turned away , refusing to meet his eyes . " That's my business . It has nothing to do with you . " 55 vouchers Ian couldn't help but frown , " That jewelry meant everything to your mom . How could you even think about selling it just so you could divorce me ? " Just thinking about that jewelry made Chloe's eyes go red with tears . " If I don't sell my mom's jewelry to pay you back 300 million , would you still divorce me ? " They locked eyes , and Ian went quiet . Brushing past Ian , Chloe walked to the floor - to - ceiling window and stared out at the night sky . " That jewelry meant everything to my mom , but compared to my happiness , she'd rather let it go ." Ian hesitated , finally giving in . " Chloe , we can leave things as they are and give each other some time to think things through . But you can't sell that jewelry ." Chloe turned around and stared straight at Ian , her tone icy and deliberate . " Let along the jewelry , if it would get me out of this marriage , my parents would even sell their blood or their kidneys for me ." Ian's hand tightened on the back of the sofa without him realizing it , his chest heaving under the weight of her words . He knew better than anyone how much Chloe's parents adored her . He took a step closer , then another , until he was right in front of her . He grabbed her shoulders , looking her straight in the eye . " Chloe , tell me . What can I do to make you stay ? Just tell me . " Chloe shook her head . " Ian , it's too late . The thought of you getting back together with your true love and having a kid with her is more than I can handle ." She added , " Divorce is the only way out for us now . " Ian couldn't stop himself . He pulled Chloe into a tight hug , holding her close . His voice was hoarse and desperate . " Chloe , I know this is so unfair to you . But if you can accept Andrea and her kid , I swear , everything I have is yours ." Chloe tried to wriggle free , but lan's hold was like iron . " lan , no matter what you do , you'll still spend money on Andrea and her kid , and treat them better than anyone else . Am I right ? " She stared him straight in the eye . " I'm not that naive girl you could push around anymore . I won't just go along with whatever you say . You can't trick me again ." Ian clung to her , like he was desperate to hold on to this moment . He whispered , almost pleading , " Chloe , I'm not lying . Name your price . I'll give Andrea and her kid a settlement . After that , I'll only help them if it's really necessary , and I swear , never again without you knowing . 13:21 Thu , Oct 2 63 Chapter 39 Not a penny , I promise ." Chloe finally broke free from his arms . 55 vouchers She walked back to the sofa , putting some distance between them . " Ian , don't you get it ? This isn't about money . " Chloe couldn't stand even the slightest hint of emotional betrayal . In Chloe's eyes , Ian was tarnished . He was no longer the man she could love . Even if it tore her apart , she knew she could never take him back . Her emotions were spinning out of control . Chloe snapped , " Ian , I can't accept that you betrayed me , or that you're still hung up on your first love . And I sure as hell can't accept you having a kid with another woman ." Chloe's voice trembled , almost breaking . " Ian , I just can't do this . You , together with Andrea and her kid , make me feel dirty and make me want to puke . I can't even stand being close to you anymore . " The unwavering look in Chloe's eyes shook Ian to his core , leaving him completely unsettled . He was lost for words . Ian stepped closer to her and tried his best to comfort her . " Chloe , I know Andrea and her kid are a reality I can't change . But you're my wife , my only one . No matter what , I'd never leave you for them . " They looked into each other's eyes . Ian tried to kiss her , but Chloe turned away at the last second , dodging him . Ian was forceful , pulling her back into his arms and kissing her passionately . Chloe struggled , but Ian pressed her down onto the sofa . His kiss was hurried , hungry , and full of raw desire . It was as if he was trying to prove something with every touch . In the midst of it , Ian's phone slipped out of his pocket and started vibrating wildly . Chloe accidentally hit the answer button , but neither of them noticed . " Let's have a baby , Chloe , " Ian growled . His kiss was fierce , swallowing up Chloe's muffled whimpers and desperate breaths . On the other end of the line , Andrea was stunned into silence , shocked for a long moment . " Ian , are you even listening ? " Andrea's voice finally broke through , urgent and shaky . " Clint is burning up again , and he's been freaking out for hours . I just can't get him to settle down . Can you come over and help me out ?

Through the phone speaker , Andrea's sobs kept pouring out , making it impossible to focus on anything else . Chloe turned , fixing lan with a cold , unwavering glare . " I've known you for more than twenty years , and I've never been so disgusted by you . " With that , Chloe walked out of Ian's suite without looking back . The door slammed shut behind her with a loud bang . On the other end of the line , Andrea's crying abruptly ceased . " Ian , I'm so sorry . I didn't know you were with Mrs. Hamilton . Please , don't come over . I'll figure something out myself , " she rushed out . Without waiting for a response , she hung up the phone . 田
