I Chose Me Over My Marriage novel Chapter 139

"Alright, alright, I know. You're right, I'm Snowy's dad, which is the only reason you're talking to me. But please stop crying, okay? We're in this together, Snowy is going to be perfectly fine."

Julian's tone as he comforted Chloe was dripping with undeniable affection.

Listening from the other end of the line, Lyra felt a mix of relief and worry for her best friend.

In this world, apart from Chloe's parents, Lyra was probably the person who wanted Chloe's happiness the most.

Seeing Chloe and Julian constantly clashing and struggling with their feelings was honestly heartbreaking to watch.

"Alright, since you have someone with you, I won't worry. If there's nothing else, I'm going to hang up."

"Yeah, I'll come back and hang out with you once everything's settled tomorrow."

With that, Chloe ended the call.

Standing alone in the living room, Lyra suddenly felt a bit lost.

It was already seven in the evening; heading back to her parents' house now would be too much of a hassle.

Besides.

She had already told Harrison and Eleanor she was spending the night having a girl's night with Chloe. Showing up back home now would require too many explanations.

She sat down on the living room sofa, thought it over, and decided to just stay put.

Miles wasn't around anyway, so crashing here for the night wouldn't hurt anyone.

With that settled, Lyra felt a wave of relief.

She stretched lazily, stood up, and made her way upstairs.

After a quick shower, she lay in bed, idly scrolling through short videos on her phone until she drifted off to sleep without even realizing it.

In her hazy state, she had a dream.

It was completely absurd—she and Miles were actually dating.

The moment she and Miles walked into her parents' house to announce it, she woke up with a violently racing heart, sitting straight up in bed, her forehead drenched in cold sweat.

"Why on earth would I dream about something like that?"

She pressed a hand to her forehead, rubbing her temples, and let out a deeply exasperated sigh.

It was probably just the stress from everything going on lately. Her mind was just working in overdrive.
