Crawling Back To Her Series Redemption and Refuse novel Chapter 96

Book7 Chapter12.

In the video, Chloe wore a white dress. Her long curls flowed over her shoulders, looking like a delicate doll.

She stormed onto the stage, snatching the painting from Xavier's hands and throwing it to the ground.

Her pretty face twisted with rage, her expression wild and hysterical.

"Xavier! If she's your true love, then what am I?"

Xavier looked flustered, quickly placing a hand on Chloe's shoulder to calm her down.

"Chloe, what are you doing? This is just an auction."

Chloe pouted, acting spoiled.

"I don't care! I want you to tell me right now, is she your true love, or am I? You've painted me so many times, even with us cuddling together!"

The crowd buzzed with excitement, and the media rushed to capture the drama.

"Mr. Gomez, what's your relationship with Chloe? Why not be honest with us?"

"Mr. Gomez, was your confession to Ariella sincere?"

"Mr. Gomez, how will you handle Ariella and Chloe?"

The auction turned into chaos, and Xavier shouted for the live stream to be cut.

I smirked as I closed the video. What a farce.

After that day, Xavier didn't contact me for several days. Was he feeling guilty?

My visa had arrived, and I was heading to the airport that morning to fly to Hawkin.

I probably wouldn't be back for a long time.

As I looked back at the familiar city, a sense of emptiness washed over m e .

I had lived here for over twenty years, but I wasn't a local.

I had chosen to study and settle here because of Xavier.

If it weren't for him, I might never have had any connection to this small city.

Just as I was about to go through security, a voice called out to me.

"Ariella! Wait!"

I turned to see Xavier, his hair disheveled, rushing toward me.

When he finally caught up, breathless, I calmly met his gaze.
