She hoped that by letting go , maybe everyone could keep a little dignity . The next morning , Chloe was woken by her phone ringing . " Chloe , did you get the house renovated ? " Mia asked .

She reminded Andrea last night . Andrea wouldn't be dumb enough to let the Hamilton family catch her moving into Ian and Chloe's place before Ian was back . Over at Chloe and Ian's place , Mia hung up the phone . Patrick stopped one of the workers to confirm again , " Are you saying the client who hired you was Ms. Irvine ?

Staring at the screen , Ian felt a restless , inexplicable irritation rising inside him . Before , whenever he went on business trips , Chloe rarely called him , but she'd be blowing up his phone with messages from morning till night . But ever since Andrea and Clint came back , Chloe hadn't once reached out to him first . Even now , with the house being renovated and her planning to move back in , she still didn't take the initiative to let him know . After another brief pause , Ian dialed Chloe's number . When she picked up , Ian's tense expression softened slightly . " I heard you're renovating the house . " On the other end , Chloe's voice was surprisingly calm . " The master bedroom and your study upstairs both have secured rooms with all your valuables . I haven't touched a thing ." After all this time , hearing Chloe's gentle reply , Ian couldn't help but soften his tone . He finally relented a little . " Just leave your work stuff alone for now . Don't go see Grandpa by yourself . Wait until I get back ." " Don't bother . I quit ," Chloe said calmly . Ian clenched his phone a little tighter .

Chloe had just ended a call with Eric when she noticed Andrea walking straight toward her . Chloe couldn't help but frown . Andrea , however , greeted her with a beaming smile . " Ms. Irvine , I heard you have a flight a little after four , so I came all the way just to see you off ." Chloe replied with a perfunctory , " Thanks . " Andrea stepped up to Chloe , her cheerful smile slipping away and replaced by wary seriousness . " Ms. Irvine , even if you hadn't asked for it , Ian would've ended things with you eventually . Since you've decided to let go , I just hope you will really make a clean break . " Chloe's face gradually hardened , her tone icy cold . " What's that supposed to mean ? " Andrea's lips curled as she sneered , " I hope you go abroad this time and never come back . " Chloe suddenly laughed . It was a cold , biting laugh . It was a cold , biting laugh . She walked straight up to Andrea , her gaze steady and cold . " Ms. Sherman , don't forget that I'm still lan's wife . So stop pretending like you own the place ." Andrea's eyes flickered with uncertainty . " Are you having second thoughts ? " Chloe spoke slowly and sharply , her words cold and clear . " Andrea , my life is my business .

The following evening , lan returned home . As Robert fired up the car , he mentioned , " Mr. Ian , Mr. Edward requested that you stop by the Hamilton Mansion first , " Seated in the back of the Bentley , Ian glanced at the gift he'd chosen for Chloe .
