After Divorcing my Captain Husband (Chloe and Michael) novel Chapter 486

Chapter 486 The Ring

She came there to study with a student visa.

If she couldn't find a job after graduation, she would be sent back home in no time.

In addition, if James had to go to the army, he would definitely not marry her within a year or two. She would not be able to get a permanent residence certificate and would have to return home.

Then all her years of hard work abroad would be in vain.

Maggie's family was just an ordinary working-class family. Sending her to study abroad had already drained their entire savings.

If she wanted to change her social status, she had to stay abroad.

"Maggie, the exchange program is only for a year. When you return, everything here will still be waiting for you. You're young and in your prime. Seeing the world for a year will make it easier for you to stay here permanently."

The principal's words undoubtedly hit upon Maggie's deepest soft spot.

She started to waver.

The principal continued, "It's only one year. It will pass quickly."

Yes, it was just a year.

She agreed to go as an exchange student and called James the night before she left because he hadn't been to school for a week.

But her calls went unanswered.

She called him over ten times, all with the same result. Finally, she learned from a classmate that James had gone to the desert with his father the previous week.

When would he return? Nobody knew.

Maggie found herself at a crossroads. Leaving meant she would be gone for a year without James knowing.

Staying meant she couldn't get a permanent residence certificate, and if James didn't marry her, she'd have to go back home.

After much deliberation, she decided she couldn't gamble her future and fate on James, on a relationship his father disapproved of, and on a marriage that might never happen.

So she packed her bags and left.

Before she left, she asked her best friend to explain everything to James when he returned.
