GoodReadChapter 544 Drowse Chloe was momentarily taken aback, thinking, "Seriously, why does he always have to bring up stuff like this?" She said, "I don't have anything left to discuss with him. It's all over. Unlike you, who's still fixated on the past even after returning home." Her words made James reflect deeply.
He wondered, "I admit, when I first cback, I was still hung up on Maggie. Learning about her marriage was almost unbearable.
But ever since her wedding, it feels like I've truly moved on.
Why should I cling to the past when she's already someone else's wife? It seems marriage really can help someone let go completely." James said with a smirk, "Speak of the devil. Looks like your ex is here." He glanced sideways and saw Michael entering the venue.

Michael seemed to have ssort of sixth sense, immediately spotting Chloe. Michael's company was as renowned as Bright Moon International in the domestic market, so it was no surprise that his seat wasn't far from Chloe's. He took a seat beside Chloe, his demeanor as calm and collected as ever.
The guests were waiting for the charity gala to begin. When the lights dimmed, Chloe saw Victoria and Cathy approaching, accompanied by an unfamiliar woman.
"Zooey, cand sit here," Victoria called out.
As the auction commenced, it featured a series of high-end luxury items that Chloe had no interest in.
They claimed the proceeds would go to the Red Cross, but she had her doubts about how much would actually be donated.
Chloe sat in her chair, feeling drowsy. She had no interest in the auction, and with her pregnancy making her unusually sleepy, being in the front row didn't stop her from dozing off.
Just as her eyelids were on the verge of closing completely, she felt a warm coat draped over her shoulders. Chloe barely registered it and fell into a deep sleep.
When the auction wrapped up and the upper-crust guests moved outside for drinks and socializing, Chloe was stirred awake by the sound of people leaving.
As she opened her eyes, the coat had slipped to her knees and fell to the floor. She picked it up and handed it to James. "Thanks for the coat." James barely glanced at it. "Who says it's my coat?" Chloe was taken aback. "It isn't?" James raised an eyebrow, smirking. "I didn't realize you drooled in your sleep. I wouldn't use my coat as a napkin." His blunt mockery made Chloe blush. She glanced at the coat and saw no trace of drool.

James, needing to discuss something with Maggie, left Chloe momentarily Just then, Michael approached from behind her. "Didn't get much rest last night?"
Realizing the coat belonged to him, Chloe handed it over. "It fell on the floor, If you find it dirty, I can clean it En' and return it to you."
It was autumn, and he wore a dark shirt underneath his jacket. With the banquet hall's large windows open, the breeze might have made it chilly. But Michael shook his head. "Keep it. You're only in a sleeveless dress. It's quite cold outside." Chloe didn't protest, draping the coat over her arm.
Standing outside the banquet hall, she nibbled on a pastry she'd grabbed to stave off hunger.
Just as Chloe was about to turn around, someone shoved her shoulder roughly.
