After Divorcing my Captain Husband (Chloe and Michael) novel Chapter 655

Chapter 655 It's Best If She Understands

James didn't agree with Maggie when comparing their situation to that of Michael and Chloe.

They were nothing like Chloe and Michael.

"Maggie, I know your ex-husband demanded eight hundred thousand dollars from you."

Maggie's breath caught, and fear flashed in her eyes. "James, it's not what you think. Please, let me explain."

"I'm not blaming you."

These were all the things Maggie did after they broke up, so he didn't see any reason to blame her.

Tears welled up in Maggie's eyes, dripping onto the back of James' hand.

He used to be most afraid of seeing her cry.

Not because he was intimidated by a woman's tears or found them annoying, but because he hated to see someone he cared about in pain.

Her tears made him feel like he had wronged her, like a judge passing a guilty verdict.

Whenever she cried, he felt as though he had failed her.

But now, though her tears still made him uncomfortable, it wasn't the same as before.

"James, I was wrong back then, terribly wrong. I thought I could make it right. Please, just give me another chance."

Maggie had no idea how much James knew about her and Jones.

He knew about the eight hundred thousand dollars, so he might know everything else, too.

"James, do you despise me?"

She feared he despised her for not being able to have children or for the videos Jones held over her.

James sighed, "I've already bought those videos back from Jones. Don't worry, there are no copies, and he wouldn't dare keep any."

Maggie stared at him in shock, unable to believe what she was hearing.

"You..."

"James, please don't watch those videos. They aren't real!"

Maggie was panicking, desperate for him not to see that side of her.
