After Divorcing my Captain Husband (Chloe and Michael) novel Chapter 485

Chapter 485 Maggie's Story

Smith didn't tell her that he would leave the day after tomorrow.

"The sooner you get the treatment, the faster you’ll recover. Isn't that what you said?" He asked.

She did say that. Chloe thought she would be relieved now that this narcissistic man was leaving, but for some reason, she felt a little sad.

"What? You can’t bear to see me leave, Chloe? Don't tell me you've developed feelings for me."

James's joking tone extinguished the little bit of guilt in Chloe.

She rolled her eyes. It turned out that she couldn't have any real feelings for this man.

"I wanted to ask you for a favor, but since you're leaving the day after tomorrow, forget it."

It seemed that James couldn't help her deal with her and William's issue.

"Tell me about it. If it's interesting, I could postpone my departure."

James suddenly became interested. After spending so long back home, he was incredibly bored and in no rush to go to Mamaica if Chloe could share something captivating.

"I have recovered the surveillance footage from yesterday. The person who pushed me was William."

James raised an eyebrow. "I thought as much. You're Jioleek. If you can't fix the surveillance, you might as well retire early and enjoy retirement."

Chloe gritted her teeth. This man indeed had a sharp tongue.

"I believe someone else has instructed him to do it, so I wanted to draw out whoever is pulling the strings. Originally, I thought you could assist with an emergency rescue."

"Take me as a free bodyguard?"

"You can get paid if you want."

James chuckled. His interactions with Chloe had always been characterized by this playful banter.

"I'll be leaving no later than the end of the month. Before then, I'll lend a hand if I can."

Chloe felt relieved when he agreed, but then she hesitated. "Won't this be too much trouble for you? Your surgery is more important after all."

James raised his hand. "Enough. Don’t get so corny. Right now, a simple 'thank you' is all I need."

Chloe shrugged.

"Thanks."

"You're welcome!"

Chloe didn't expect that she would meet Maggie after coming out of Bright Moon International.

Then, there was a graduate school program, and there was only one spot available for the entire school.

It was James's father who found her and said that he hoped she could participate in this program. With her grades and GPA, she would definitely be admitted as long as she applied.

Maggie realized that he wanted her to leave James.

"Young lady, I'll be honest with you. James is going to join the military with me. He'll be so busy with drills and missions, handling grenades and guns, that he won't have much time for a relationship."

At first, Maggie thought that he was just like other rich people who looked down on her and felt that she was not worthy of James.

But James's father said she had misunderstood.

"I'm not trying to undermine you. I am a soldier myself, so I know how it goes. Once he's in the military, he won't be able to prioritize you. You're still young, smart, and beautiful, with a bright future ahead. There's no need to tie yourself down to James."

Maggie righteously rejected James's father.

She declared that she and James were truly in love and even if James could only contact her once a month after joining the military, she would have no complaints.

But before James knew about this, Maggie was summoned for a talk by the school administration.

"Maggie, this opportunity to be an exchange student is rare for our school. If you succeed, you could secure a permanent residence certificate and settle there for life."

Maggie's eyes flickered.
