Chapter 360 I Might Leave Today
"Of course not. You know how much I've sacrificed for my education. It's always been important to me. If I don't go, I won't be at peace!" Chloe anxiously explained to Donovan.
Donovan stepped closer and grabbed her chin. "So, your education is more important than me? More important than Francis?"
"Education is my lifelong confidence," Chloe said firmly, staring into Donovan's eyes.
She'd rather have Donovan hate her now than let him stop her. She needed to find out the truth!
She was afraid of dragging Donovan into this mess.
Donovan squinted. "Same as before, either you stay, or if you leave, don't ever come back! I don't care about anything else."
With that, Donovan went into the bathroom.
After his shower, he got into bed.
Chloe was already in bed, curled up under the covers.
Her eyes were filled with tears as she tugged on Donovan's arm.
She had never felt so wronged. She had been mistreated outside, and when she came home, she couldn't say anything and had to endure his misunderstanding.
Donovan ignored her, completely disregarding her.
Chloe felt bitter. She had planned to take advantage of the time after having the baby to go to Verdania for a master's degree, coming back once a month to see him and the baby. But according to the man in black and Donovan's words, she couldn't come back.
Donovan also said that if she left, he would never see her again.
But who was the other party, and why did they want to retaliate against Chloe? She didn't know. Even if it was a temporary plan, she had to leave. She was like an egg now, unable to clash with a stone. Even if she had to clash, she would wait until she became stronger.
Donovan turned off the light and went to sleep.
In the darkness, only Chloe was left, her tears soaking the pillow.
She wanted to go under his covers and sleep next to him, but his cold demeanor tonight scared her.
Chloe had a lot to say but couldn't get any words out.
His behavior this time was completely different from the last time. The last time she wanted to go abroad, he was extremely agitated, forcibly having sex with Chloe.
But this time, he was terrifyingly calm, as if he had lost all hope in Chloe.
After their sweet moments and having a child, Francis, she could still leave. Other than "not having him, not having Francis, not having this family in her heart," there was no other explanation.
What could Chloe say?
She turned her back to him, not looking at him.
She thought to herself, 'This time, I still had to go to Verdania. I couldn't let the man in black think I was scared. If I went to another country, they might think I was untrustworthy and retaliate even more harshly.'
It was early July, and there was still time before the semester started in January. She would go first, rent a place, and continue studying finance. If nothing unexpected happened, she would get a Ph.D.
Chloe remained very clear-headed until dawn, and only then did she drift off to sleep in a daze.
When she woke up, Donovan was no longer by her side.
Chloe hugged his pillow again and cried until her voice was hoarse.
She had always thought he was a beast, but she never imagined he could be so resolute.
She booked a plane ticket online. There weren't many people traveling now, so it was easy to get a ticket.
She quickly wiped her eyes.
Clara came in with a bowl of porridge.
"Clara, I've recovered well during this time. Thanks to you," Chloe said with a smile.
"That's what I should do. I already feel bad for not taking care of you earlier," Clara said, sitting on Chloe's bed. "Chloe, why are your eyes red?"
"Clara, I want to go abroad to study. I might not come back for a long time, and I can't bear to leave."
"Go abroad? Francis is so young, and you want to go abroad?" Clara was quite surprised.
"Yes, I'm not working right now, so I want to get a degree. My visa hasn't expired, and I've already received the offer. I might..." Chloe choked up.
"Might what?"
"I might leave today," Chloe said.
