He Cheated I Rose Making Him Regret Everything (Chloe and Arthur) novel Chapter 687

Chloe only wanted to leave.

Anywhere was fine, as long as Vincent was not there.

If she stayed near him any longer, she was afraid her patience would snap.

"Without Eugene, you don't even care about yourself anymore, do you?" Vincent asked in a quiet voice.

Chloe said nothing.

That one sentence struck exactly where she had been trying to hide.

In her mind, Eugene was gone.

And she was only still breathing because of the agreement she had made with Vincent.

She would finish the wedding.

That was all.

After that, she had no intention of staying in this world that had lost him.

Vincent hated seeing her like this.

He had spent years shaping her into what she was.

And now, for one man, she was ready to give up everything?

How could she become this weak?

That was not the Clo-Clo he knew.

His gaze turned colder.

"If you dare disappear from this world like that, I won't let that man rest either."

His voice was icy.

"I'll disturb even what he left behind."

Chloe finally looked at him.

Displeasure flashed across her eyes.

"Then try it, Vincent."

Her tone was cold and calm.

"After the wedding, our debt will be settled."

"From then on, there will be nothing between us."

"If you insist on provoking me again, I don't mind dragging you down with me."

Vincent walked closer.

In the mirror, he saw Chloe's eyes.

They were calm.

Too calm.

The light that once lived in them had vanished completely.

She looked less like a living person and more like something hollow.

How had his Clo-Clo become like this?

"So you want to go to him that badly?"

Vincent stared at her.

"You don't care about anything else anymore?"

Chloe still did not answer.

She did not even move.

"Not even your son?"

His expression became serious.

"And what about the man from six years ago?"

"The man from that accidental night."

"You don't want to know who he was?"

At last, Chloe's eyes changed.

It was only for a moment, but Vincent caught it.

"My dear Clo-Clo."

He lifted a strand of her hair gently.

"If you keep treating your life as something worthless, I really will get angry."

Chloe stood still.

She let him stand behind her, though the disgust in her eyes did not fade.

His grip tightened, stopping her in place.

Chloe lowered her eyes to his hand.

This was the first time he had used force on her like this.

"Vincent..."

"I only want you to listen to me a little."

His voice was calm, but the pressure beneath it was clear.

"Is that so impossible?"

"What does Eugene have that makes you refuse to let go?"

Chloe remained silent.

"Whatever he can give you, I can give you too."

"We've known each other longer."

"We've spent more time together."

"No matter what name you give our relationship, I should have been the one standing beside you."

His voice lowered.

"But the person I raised with my own hands became someone else's so easily."

"Was it because he gave you something I never could?"

"Was that why you fell so completely?"

"Was that why you chose him without hesitation?"

Chloe's eyes darkened.

Those words were unbearable.

She had no desire to argue with Vincent.

Not now.

Not when he had clearly lost all reason.

She only wanted to leave.

She did not want to stay beside him for even one more second.
