My Blind Wife Wants Divorced

“By what means?!” Chloe couldn’t hold back anymore. “By intruding back into my life without permission? Giving me what I used to long for? Smiling at me as if you know my current life? Even your attitude towards me now is completely different from before, Leonel! And that’s very confusing,” Chloe said to Leonel, who then fell silent. Chloe’s eyes were now full of wounds, reflecting her inner turmoil and anger.

“Stop it, Leonel. Please,” Chloe pleaded. “I can’t handle it if you keep pressuring me like this.”

“I know I made mistakes, and my behavior shouldn’t be like this. But every human has the awareness and desire to change. I want to fix it!” Leonel firmly stated to Chloe. “You ask how? I don’t have an answer. I don’t know if my actions and decisions are right. Or if they make the situation worse. I don’t know.”

A tear rolled down Chloe’s cheek. It startled Leonel, but he quickly wiped it away with his thumb, with a slow movement that brought them closer and made their gaze fixated on each other. Chloe tried to control herself, gazing into Leonel’s eyes, which seemed sincere. There was no hiding behind each word Leonel had uttered.

“I truly love you, and I will fight for the love I have, Chloe.”

Boom! Chloe’s feelings became even more unsettled upon hearing Leonel say those words. She hurriedly left the restaurant to reach her car. Luckily, Leonel didn’t hold her back anymore. She couldn’t bear the strange vibrations and wanted to arrive at the café quickly.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Moreover, Chloe couldn’t linger in that place considering the ticking clock, especially if she had to face her ex-husband. Chloe had seen everything she desired from Leonel. But that was in the past. Furthermore, after not seeing Leonel for a long time, her ex-husband seemed different for some reason. The handsomeness that Chloe often acknowledged in Leonel multiplied several times. However, Chloe didn’t want to admit that.

It could make Leonel even more arrogant.

Leonel sighed softly, then gave a bitter smile as he watched his ex-wife walk away. But then, he replaced that smile with a wide grin. “I have plenty of time to fight for you, Sa.” Of course, Leonel didn’t intend to remain idle. He promptly followed Chloe’s steps. His initial purpose for coming here was to follow Chloe.

To trail her without pause.

When the woman reached her car, Chloe took a long breath, ignoring the bewildered look in Brad’s eyes.

“Shall we go now, Miss?”

Chloe blinked slowly, trying to regain composure. “Yes, let’s go now. It’s getting late.”

“Alright, Miss.”

The car engine was started, emitting a soft hum. It slowly moved back onto Beverly Hills Road, their designated destination. Chloe leaned back against the car seat, massaging her temples gently. She felt relieved to have escaped from Leonel’s pursuit. She wondered where the idea came from for him to be around her now. Even without her asking, Leonel appeared in her life just like that. She was acting opposite to what she experienced in the past.

Budi drove the car at an average speed. They didn’t talk much. Chloe allowed herself to drift off somewhere while enjoying the relatively smooth road of Beverly Hills. Unlike Budi, who maintained his focus, Chloe’s mind wandered elsewhere. She tried to push away the shadows of Leonel from her thoughts to focus on her work for the day. Her schedule was packed, including testing out new menu items that she would showcase to Adrianna. She hoped Adrianna’s visit today would be worthwhile. But every time Chloe fell silent, she remembered Leonel’s presence lingering in her mind. And she already had Darren, her current boyfriend. She should be thinking about Darren, right?

Up until now, there had been no news from Darren at all. Chloe should start worrying and wondering what happened to him.

“Shit! Why do I have to think about that foolish guy?” Chloe muttered as she tapped her forehead to dispel the thoughts of Leonel from her mind.

A few minutes passed, and they finally arrived in the cafe parking lot, where Chloe carried out her daily activities. Meanwhile, Leonel also followed Chloe inside. He was slightly puzzled. Did Chloe not realize she had been followed since leaving the fast-food restaurant? Or was her mind not focused? Leonel should have paid more attention to it. The most important thing was that Chloe arrived safely at the cafe. And he didn’t want to leave Chloe, even for a second. He also wanted to know everything Chloe did, especially when Darren was not in Beverly Hills.

“Good morning, Miss,” one of the employees in Chloe’s cafe greeted her. Chloe responded with the friendliest smile she could muster. She quickly made her way to her office, wanting to avoid lingering or wasting time because there was a lot she needed to accomplish to complete her work.

“Phew!” Chloe sighed as she settled into her work chair, leaning against it. The reality didn’t match her expectations. She had hoped for a peaceful, free day, but Leonel’s presence made everything different. Then she checked a flat object inside her bag, hoping for a notification from Darren. Unfortunately, Chloe’s hopes were dashed. There was nothing. Not a single message.

“Why hasn’t Darren contacted me at all?” Chloe wondered.

Meanwhile, she noticed several stacks of papers on her desk and some folders that she still needed to revise or double-check. Peni had given her a lot of work. However, when it came to warehouse matters and financial issues, Chloe had entrusted them to Peni. Until now, she had always been able to rely on that woman.

Chloe sighed repeatedly, hoping that the image of Leonel in her mind would disappear soon and not disturb her focus. After checking these reports, she needed to execute the new menu ideas swirling in her head. Not only that, but Chloe also tried to neutralize her feelings, which seemed different when she saw her ex-husband. Being busy could divert her attention from what occupied her mind. But that was just a plan.

She repeatedly tried to focus, but Leonel’s smile and voice interrupted her. Her increasingly unsettled feelings made Chloe want to confide in someone about what was in her heart. The name Adrianna popped into her mind, a friend who always listened to all her rants and thoughts.

Chloe immediately reached for her phone to find Adrianna’s name, to make sure her friend was doing better, and to remember everything Adrianna had shared recently. The annoying guy explained to Chloe why he treated Adrianna that way, especially if it meant drawing her friend’s attention. When she recalled their conversations and how Adrianna responded, Chloe couldn’t help but smile.

“I hope Adrianna isn’t busy,” she whispered. Chloe even felt uncomfortable keeping these feelings to herself. Without waiting long, Chloe finally obtained Adrianna’s contact number and sent her a message. She slid her finger on the screen twice but didn’t receive any response from Adrianna.

Ah, why was she so foolish? At this hour, Adrianna was probably still teaching. Finally, she decided to send a brief message. Hopefully, Adrianna s

[Adrianna, are you coming to Beverly Hills?]

Send.

Then Chloe placed her phone next to the illuminated computer screen. She chose not to wait because she knew Adrianna was probably busy. Leaning back, closing her eyes, and resting her head on her hand that’s what Chloe did now. She was lucky that Adrianna would be here soon. Talking face-to-face would be much better.

The sound of a knock on the door made Chloe groan tiredly. “Yes?” But she couldn’t ignore it.

“Miss, someone is looking for you.”

Chloe furrowed her brow. “Who?”

“I don’t know, Miss. They’re quite annoying. Always complaining,” said the employee named Drea with a pouty face. “They want to meet the Manager.”

Chloe sighed wearily. “Okay.” There was nothing she could do but meet them, right? She didn’t want that person to make other customers uncomfortable. She needed to resolve it quickly. Chloe hurriedly descended the stairs to where customers enjoyed their orders and the ambiance. Soft music filled the air, creating a comfortable atmosphere that should make customers feel at ease. But Chloe couldn’t deny that there was always someone causing trouble. Until …

“Leonel?”
