My Blind Wife Wants Divorced

Chloe felt that something was off because Leonel was now paying attention to her. It was not like when she was still his wife. Not only that, but Chloe also felt that Leonel’s behavior now was warmer than the previously grumpy, cold, and rude Leonel. Leonel’s face was what Chloe had been observing for the past five years. Chloe couldn’t deceive herself; she could tell what was genuine and what was not.

Even though Chloe couldn’t see, she could sense that there had been a change in Leonel. It was not just out of pity or Leonel feeling burdened by Chloe’s situation. He felt he had a role to play in what had happened. It was like redemption, but Chloe didn’t want to perceive it as a form of forgiveness.

Just like this morning. Chloe lets Leonel do whatever he wants while giving numerous judgments about his intentions.

“If you also want to go to the café, come with me! I’ll take you there!” Leonel said to Chloe, but she quickly shook her head.

“No need. Besides, I have my vehicle. And I don’t want to inconvenience you,” Chloe said to Leonel. “There’s one thing you should know, Leonel.” Chloe leaned slightly towards Leonel, who was staring at her intently. “I don’t know what your purpose is here. Go back to my peaceful life. If you plan to seek my attention, you’re wasting your time.”

Leonel chuckled at her words. Chloe’s gaze was so firm yet adorable at the same time. Leonel shrugged his shoulders. He disregarded Chloe’s warning. Even though he knew the car Chloe was driving, he would use every trick in the book to get his ex-wife into the sedan he was going.

“I know you have your vehicle. But I want to make sure you arrive safely at your destination! Moreover, your driver can take you there if you don’t want to go with me. Right?” Leonel said to Chloe again; hearing that, Chloe fell silent and murmured.

“Do you already know why you’re asking?” Chloe prepared to leave Leonel, who looked ridiculous in her eyes.

“I just want to hear you talk, Sa.”

“You have too much free time,” Chloe replied, displeased.

“Let me take you today, Sa.” Leonel stood up as well. Before the woman could leave him, Leonel rudely held onto Chloe. He touched her arm, covered by a long-sleeved shirt, without permission. It made Chloe stare at him in disbelief at his behavior.

“You!”

“Just for today,” Leonel said confidently. He took a step closer to Chloe, who widened her eyes. Leonel was genuinely insane!

“What about your work? Aren’t you still a big shot at Mountain? Aren’t you busy? Don’t you have any meetings?” Chloe herself was astonished as to why she was asking these things to Leonel. She had longed to ask him everything in the past, but she was afraid of bothering her husband. No matter when Leonel came home, Chloe always welcomed him with a genuine smile, regardless of how heavy her eyes were with sleepiness. As long as she could see Leonel, nothing else mattered.

Now? How could someone she knew so well suddenly be so free, willing to do trivial things like drive her to the café? Chloe felt that something had collided with Leonel’s mind.

To put an end to all her thoughts, Chloe said, “Besides, I’m already an adult. I can be alone without your company!” Chloe concluded while slightly pulling her hand away. “Let go of me, Leonel. I don’t want people to see what you’re doing,” she said, her tone softening from her usual sharpness. When Darren was around, Chloe felt cold and distant towards Leonel. Although deep down, whenever she saw her ex-husband, there was a strange turmoil in her chest, especially when they were physically close.

“You don’t have to think about all the questions you just asked,” Leonel chuckled. Did he comply with Chloe’s request? Of course not. Instead, he moved closer to his ex-wife. The scent of Chloe’s perfume reached his nostrils and filled his senses. “Some of my other team members are currently handling my work in Beverly Hills,” Leonel stated firmly. From his tone, Chloe guessed Leonel didn’t want to let her go alone to the café. In the moments when Darren was gone for a week, she felt Leonel’s presence as a complement and a substitute for her loneliness.

“But I still don’t want to inconvenience you! I want to be here and go to the café alone, without bothering anyone else,” Chloe said, pushing Leonel’s body slightly. “There shouldn’t be any disturbances, but there have been since earlier.” Chloe’s statement made the grin on Leonel’s lips slowly fade away. “Thank you very much for your offer, but it’s unnecessary!” Chloe reiterated as she quickly approached her car and headed to the café.

However, Leonel quickly held Chloe’s hand, causing her to stumble slightly. She turned around and almost collided with Leonel’s chest. Chloe’s eyes widened in surprise. “Leonel!”

“Yes, Chloe?” Leonel didn’t care if Chloe’s hand ended up hitting his face. He endured the slap because, once again, Leonel had touched Chloe without manners. And once again, he was affected by the overwhelming scent of Chloe’s perfume.

“Even before we finished talking, you already wanted to leave!” Leonel said softly to Chloe, causing her to startle and in disbelief.

“What else do you want to talk about?” Chloe asked Leonel again. Chloe tried to free herself, but Leonel wouldn’t let her go so quickly.

“There are many things we can talk about. Don’t you miss the past when we first met?” Leonel asked Chloe, who quickly shook her head and gave a bitter smile.

“Miss the past we had when we first met?” Chloe asked, then Leonel dryly chuckled, seeing Chloe’s perplexed smile. “You’re truly insane!”

“Why are you laughing?” Leonel asked Chloe again.

“What should I say? Our first meeting? You’re ridiculous!” Chloe felt like shaking Leonel’s head with full force. “Even back then, when I wanted your attention like this, you ignored me. But strangely, now that we no longer have any ties, you come closer and seek my attention? Is that so? Asking about a past that I think doesn’t need to be remembered anymore?”

Leonel fell silent.

“I’m like a beggar for your attention, Leonel. I know you gave me everything. I always had everything. But I needed to improve in receiving your attention. Have you forgotten me?”

“I never forgot, Chloe,” Leonel said softly, full of regret. “That’s why I want to make amends.”All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
