Even a slight brush against her clothes from Oliver made her feel like puking. She clung to her pants tightly to prevent Oliver from undressing her, and kicked him hard.
"Oliver, are you deaf or what? I said I was tired, and I don't want to. Can you just stay away from me?"
She kicked him again. "Are you nuts?"
Oliver, who was kicked away by her, suddenly lost interest. As he was getting up and putting on his pants, he glared at Chloe and said fiercely, "Is that how you treat your man?"
Looking at this fierce man, Chloe couldn't relate him to the gentle and caring person he used to be.
The old Oliver would prepare pineapple for her during her period to relieve her menstrual pain, help her clean her blood-stained underwear, and listen to her in everything.
And now?
Chloe didn't know whether it was the seven years of married life that had changed Oliver. Or Oliver was just a jerk to begin with, but it didn't matter anymore. Anyway, life was already a mess, how much worse could it get?
Facing the man who was accusing her, she didn't even have the mood to argue. She'd rather sleep a bit more than waste her energy fighting with him. Because she was really tired.
Oliver got dressed and left angrily. He ran into Charlotte in the living room.
Charlotte had already heard the quarrel from inside the room, and seeing her son come out angrily, she asked hurriedly, "Oliver, what happened?"
Oliver looked upset, "I just got back, and she's already giving me a hard time, not caring about me at all, forget it, I'll go sleep in the guest room."
Charlotte immediately went to knock on Chloe's door.
Chloe got up to open the door.
"Oliver just got back from detention, you don't care about him and even drove him to sleep in the guest room, how can you be so thoughtless?"
Charlotte's expression was fierce.
Chloe was already used to it. She wasn't afraid of being embarrassed, so she just said it, "Your son wanted to sleep with me as soon as he got back. I've been taking care of the kids and working at the same time these days, I'm so tired that I have no energy left, can't I just have a good sleep? Is it me who is thoughtless, or is it him?"
"You have brought it on yourself." Charlotte said angrily, "It's all your own choice, you deserve to be tired."
Chloe was almost pissed off. She didn't want to fight with Charlotte in the first place, but she couldn't help it. But seeing Charlotte's fierce look, she felt she probably wouldn't win. She decided to save her energy, "Yes, I deserve to be tired."
It was her own choice to marry Oliver, to marry into this family, no one else to blame.
"But I still have to go to work tomorrow, I don't have the energy to fight with you, I'm going to sleep." She closed the door and crawled back into bed tiredly.
Charlotte outside the door grumbled for a while; seeing that she didn't open the door, she had to leave in a huff.
Just as Chloe was about to rest, Austin woke up again.
Outside, Charlotte went to the guest room and saw her son lying on the bed laughing at his phone, she asked suspiciously, "Oliver, does Chloe have another man outside?"
Oliver was chatting with that beauty from last time.
"Mom." He put down his phone and sat up immediately, "Why would you say that?"
"Why else would she not share the bed with you?" Charlotte speculated, "She must have another man outside."
The one who actually had an affair was Oliver, and he hurriedly said, "Mom, don't always be so suspicious. Chloe is not that kind of person."
……
After the incident in the detention center, Roxanne and Chloe both threw themselves into work.
One day, Roxanne and Chloe went to check out their new house together. There was a crowd around the building site, holding banners.
Roxanne approached and asked, "Sir, what's going on? Why are there so many banners? Did the developer fail to deliver the house on time and delay again?"
