After Divorcing my Captain Husband (Chloe and Michael) novel Chapter 512

Chapter 512 Books

She had no idea that because of her call, Michael had rushed over from Shawn Heavy Industries without delay, arriving just two minutes ahead of her.

As he changed upstairs and came down with a magazine in hand, he heard the sound of her opening the door.

If Chloe had come closer, she might have noticed the slight beads of sweat on his forehead.

But Chloe seemed oblivious to this, changing her shoes and heading straight to the study.

Michael breathed a sigh of relief, yet his heart felt heavy. He quickly wiped his forehead and followed her.

In the study, Chloe took out her stack of poetry books. She had prepared a new cardboard box beforehand, which was big enough to hold them all.

"Let me help you."

Michael approached her, ready to lend a hand, but she said, "No need, I can manage."

Frowning slightly, he didn't rush but stood by, observing.

The shelves in the study were tall, reaching up to the ceiling.

Some of the poetry books, not touched for a while, had been placed on the topmost shelf by the household staff.

Chloe needed to use a stool to reach them.

However, after scanning the room, she couldn't spot a single chair.

"Do you not keep chairs in your study?"

She remembered there used to be some.

"I prefer working standing up," Michael replied.

Raising an eyebrow, Chloe wondered, "What's wrong with him?"

"Working standing up is more efficient... as Hemingway said."

Hearing his words, Chloe remained composed. Having an interest in literature from her reading, she had self-studied some literary history and was familiar with famous authors.

Hemingway indeed preferred standing while writing, a habit she found somewhat torturous.
