After Divorcing my Captain Husband (Chloe and Michael) novel Chapter 599

Chloe went back to the living room, turned on the TV, and started texting Jessica about the project.

[The client is okay with an online deal, but they insist on meeting you in person first.]

[Isn't that basically the same as an in-person meeting?]

Chloe felt the client might not be serious about the project.

[Should we still take it on?]

Jessica was also starting to question the reliability of the deal.

[Hold off for now. I'll dig into the company's background.]

[By the way, Quinn seems to be having some issues.]

Chloe was uncertain about how to handle Quinn's situation. Since going abroad, she'd hoped he would gradually let go of his feelings for her.

Hearing that he was acting strangely made her anxious.

[What's going on with him?]

[He's locked himself in his place in Urban Lane and has been drinking heavily. When I tried to talk to him, he kicked me out. What if something happens to him?]

Jessica was genuinely concerned that Quinn might be in a dangerous state due to excessive drinking.

Chloe frowned. She had never seen Quinn drunk and was worried.

She confirmed Jessica was at Urban Lane and then texted back. [Try knocking on his door. If he doesn't answer, let him know I'm trying to reach him.]

After sending the message, Chloe called Jessica.

Jessica went to Quinn's apartment, knocked on the door, and waited. After several tries with no answer, she knocked again.

"Quinn, it's Jessica. Chloe wants to talk to you and she's on the phone with me. Are you there?"

Jessica was concerned her efforts might be in vain.

But to her surprise, the door creaked open within seconds of her mentioning Chloe.

Seeing Quinn standing there, unshaven and disheveled, Jessica felt like she was seeing a stranger.

She handed him the phone and said, "Chloe wants to talk to you."

She swallowed hard, worried he might not take it.

Only when he reached for the phone did she quickly slip into his room, like a rabbit darting into a burrow. The floor was littered with empty beer bottles.

On the call, there was a heavy silence as Chloe and Quinn both hesitated to speak.

Finally, Quinn broke the silence. "Hello?"

He hadn't expected Chloe to contact him, especially through Jessica's phone.

"Quinn, have you been drinking a lot?"

Quinn didn't answer right away, making Chloe feel frustrated.

"Quinn, I've always seen you as someone remarkable. Whether it's in your career or personal life, you have qualities that I admired. I don't want to see you lose those traits. Your life isn't over just because I'm not in it."

Chloe's heartfelt words hit Quinn like a jolt to his heart.
