After Divorcing my Captain Husband (Chloe and Michael)

Chloe's curiosity was piqued. "Do tell."

Candy took a sip of her coffee and began. Richard had been seeing a beautiful young woman, but as time went on, he grew bored.

To him, such things were nothing unusual - just another day in the life of a wealthy man. He decided to move on.

However, this woman knew who Richard was, the chairman of the Opal Group. She saw him as a long-term meal ticket. After returning to Mamaica, she managed to find a donor and tried to pass off the child as Richard's. Richard, despite his carefree demeanor, was surprisingly traditional when it came to family matters.

Upon learning that this woman was pregnant, he considered giving the child a legitimate status and even contemplated marrying her.

Naturally, Wesley wasn't on board with this plan. He brought Candy along to find out more about the woman.

When they arrived, they discovered not only that the woman was after Richard's money but also that the child wasn't Richard's at all.

Now, Wesley was busy trying to force the woman to admit the truth before the baby was born, as a paternity test wasn't possible until then.

"You'd think Richard, being the sly old fox he is, would have seen through this woman's scheme," Chloe commented, finding the whole situation hard to believe.

"Richard's family has plenty of kids. One more or less doesn't make a difference to him. But the old fox wouldn't want any potential child of his left out in the cold," Candy explained.

Each additional child meant one more competitor for Wesley's position as the heir, which was naturally a big deal for him.

And as Wesley's girlfriend, Candy was right there with him.

At that moment, William returned with a fruit juice and two coffees, taking a seat next to Chloe and across from Candy.

After a few sips, Chloe started to feel a bit uncomfortable and decided to head to the restroom.

Given her pregnancy, Candy looked concerned. "Are you okay? Do you want me to come with you?"

Chloe waved her hand, smiling, "I just need to use the restroom. Stay here. I'll be back soon."

She knew the difference between labor pains and needing the bathroom.

With Chloe gone, Candy and William were left alone.

Candy had always had a bit of a soft spot for William, and now sitting alone with him felt somewhat awkward.

But William remained unfazed, and after a few casual exchanges, the atmosphere relaxed.

Meanwhile, Asher had come to the coffee shop for his usual coffee and was waiting at the counter.

His eyes scanned the room and landed on Candy and William.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Seeing Candy laugh at William, Asher couldn't help but feel a pang of concern for Wesley.

Asher was on good terms with Wesley and had his contact information.

He thought it was only right to give Wesley a heads-up about what was happening.

After calling Wesley, Asher decided to keep a discreet eye on Candy and William to ensure nothing out of line occurred.

Wesley arrived quickly. Seeing Candy and William sitting together sparked a cold glint in his eyes.

He knew William and was aware that during the time he and Candy were at odds, she had been seeing William.

Wesley could tolerate other men, but William was a different story. After all, William had once captured Candy's heart. "Candy!" Wesley's voice cut through the air, making Candy freeze as if she'd heard a ghost.

As she looked up and saw the impeccably dressed man striding towards her, Candy was momentarily taken aback.

But as soon as Wesley reached her, she grabbed his hand and pulled him down to sit beside her.

"Wesley, what are you doing here?"

Wesley was caught off guard by her reaction. He thought, "She has been spotted meeting with another man, yet she seems completely unflustered by my arrival."

"I thought you were here to see Chloe," Wesley said, still trying to process what was happening.

Wesley, who had been expecting Chloe, was instead faced with the one person he least wanted to see.
