After Divorcing my Captain Husband (Chloe and Michael) novel Chapter 641

"Dad, let's talk about these things later. Chloe just came back today, and having a nice family dinner together is what's important!"

Daxton nodded at Amanda's words. "You're right. Let's eat first."

Throughout the meal, Amanda and Ainsley kept engaging Chloe in conversation, trying to prevent any awkwardness.

Chloe responded politely to each of their questions.

When everyone was almost finished eating, Russell finally spoke up. "Amanda mentioned that you're pregnant?"

When Chloe had entered earlier, they had indeed noticed her slightly protruding belly.

Chloe didn't try to hide it. "Yes," she replied softly.

"Whose child is it?"

Chloe fidgeted with the napkin in her hand. "It's the Shawn family's."

In front of the Miller family, she had no reason to lie, nor did she want to.

During the meal, although Daxton and Russell had been relatively quiet, she could sense they held no ill will towards her. They were simply a bit distant, unsure how to express themselves.

That made her even less inclined to keep secrets.

"The Shawn family? What are your plans for the child? I recall you divorced that Shawn boy not too long ago."

Russell, being a wise man, didn't presume to make decisions for Chloe. Instead, he inquired about her intentions.

"I want to keep the baby and raise it myself," Chloe stated firmly. "Michael doesn't know about the child yet, and I don't plan on telling him. I'm capable of providing for the child on my own."

Daxton listened to her words, a flicker of heartache in his eyes.

"If you want to have the baby, have it. The Miller family's child won't starve out there. As for you and Michael, it's entirely your decision."

Chloe was genuinely surprised. The Millers seemed almost too... accommodating towards her.

"Now that you're back with the Millers, you'll need to help manage the family business. Do you have any prior knowledge in this area?"

The Millers wanted Chloe back, partly because they didn't want their bloodline to be lost and partly because they needed an heir.

Amanda didn't want children and had fallen for a monk. Russell and Daxton couldn't control her, so they had to find someone else to inherit the Miller family business.

"I didn't study finance."

Chloe wasn't sure she could handle managing a company.

"You can learn if you don't know. It's not a big deal."

Russell didn't see it as a problem.

"What's the Miller family's main business now?"

The Millers had immigrated over a decade ago, and Chloe didn't know much about their business, only that they seemed to be involved in many areas.

Amanda took Chloe's hand. "The Miller family's most successful business abroad is jewelry trading."

Jewelry?

Chloe was a bit surprised.

What kind of jewelry?

"All kinds of rough diamonds, jade, gemstones, and so on."

Chloe's eyes lit up. "What about emeralds?"

Amanda smiled, "Of course, that's included too."

Chloe hadn't forgotten how she'd always wanted to get Rick involved in the emerald trade.

But with so much going on, she had put it on hold for the time being.

She hadn't expected the Millers to be in that business.

"Are you interested in gemstones?"
