From Heartbreak to the CEO’s Bed Chapter 23: Strange Comfort
Chloe’s POV"He said he was worried about you." I froze, a glimmer of comfort rising in my heart. Did he actually send Roman to take care of me? So, I still mattered to him? Closing my eyes, I leaned back against the seat without saying another word. Roman stayed quiet as well, focusing on driving. I gradually became calmer.Before long, we arrived at the hospital. Roman accompanied me to see the doctor. "Sir, how could you let a pregnant woman experience such emotional stress? The baby is only a month old, and the mother’s well-being needs constant attention," the doctor said sharply, her disapproval of Roman evident."My apologies, it’s my fault. I’ll make sure to take better care of her from now on," Roman replied smoothly. I hadn’t expected his response when the doctor mentioned my pregnancy. He didn’t show any surprise but instead seamlessly stepped into the role of the baby’s father. "Is the baby doing okay so far?" he asked. The doctor adjusted her glasses and po

Chloe’s POV"Chloe, you need to clear up the misunderstandings with Trevor. He really loves you." "Alright, thank you.”Roman dropped me off at home. Since it was already late, he didn’t plan to come in. Instead, he waited in the car until he saw me safely enter the house. The moment I pushed the door open, a strong floral scent hit me, making my nose itch. The living room was filled with bouquets in every color imaginable, competing for attention like a mini flower exhibition. Rachel, dressed in a camisole nightgown, was humming a tune while misting the flowers on the floor with a spray bottle. "Chloe, you’re back! Aren’t these flowers beautiful? I arranged them just for you to show my gratitude for being so understanding and letting Trevor take care of me first." Seeing me, Rachel immediately beamed and walked over with a bright smile. "Come on, take a sniff of these new flowers I got!" Before I could react, Rachel grabbed my hand and shoved a bouquet right under my nose

Chloe’s POV"Wasn’t it you who asked Mr. Roman to take me to the hospital?" "What? No, we haven’t been in touch lately." Roman lied to me! He made it sound like Trevor had sent him to find me and take me to the hospital, but Trevor had no idea about any of it! Roman must have just happened to run into me, taken me to the hospital, and tried to talk me out of breaking up with Trevor. What did he take me for? A gullible child he could easily fool? Then again, he probably meant well, trying to ease things between me and Trevor. Fine. I wouldn’t hold it against him. "You just happened to bump into Uncle?" "Yeah, we ran into each other on the way.”"And he’s the one who took you to the hospital? That’s so unlike him. My uncle usually avoids people like the plague." "Yes, he even talked to me quite a bit." "That’s surprising. He’s always so swamped with work he barely has time to grab a proper meal. Can you believe he’s never even dated anyone? And yet, he made time to take

Chloe’s POV"Sweetheart, we're heading out now."Trevor kissed my forehead before leaving. As I opened my drowsy eyes, I saw him and Rachel walking out the door, both dressed in perfectly coordinated business suits. They looked like a flawless pair.Today, I had taken the day off. This cursed allergy had left my face in a terrible state. I took a cab to the hospital, where the doctor prescribed some medication and sternly warned me to stay away from roses, or the red spots on my face would never go away. I listened quietly, but my thoughts drifted. If Trevor were here, he’d probably remind me with even more care. He’d help me apply the cream and gently blow on my face with concern in his eyes.Leaving the hospital, I wandered aimlessly through the bustling streets, feeling an empty ache in my chest. I didn’t want to sit at home alone, waiting for Trevor and Rachel to come back arm in arm. I needed to reclaim my own life."Hey, girl! What are you up to? Let’s grab dinner!" I cal

Chloe’s POVTo everyone’s shock, Mark slammed the wine glass against his own head. Blood streamed down his forehead as the veins on his face and neck bulged, making him look terrifying. "You don’t even understand what it means to save money! I work my ass off, and you just throw it all away!" Their argument echoed across the restaurant. Luna and I sat nearby, catching snippets of their sharp and cutting words. "Throw it away?" Amy shot back furiously. "Do you have any idea how much it costs to run this household? I haven’t wasted a dime! Everything goes toward our child. Meanwhile, we’re still footing the bill for your sister’s monthly weed habit!" "Don’t you dare bring up my family!" Mark roared, his voice booming. "You’re the one who can’t control yourself. What kind of woman spends like you do?" With that, he grabbed her purse off the table and held it up. "This stupid bag cost three thousand dollars! What good does it do? Can you eat it?" Amy’s face flushed red. "Tha

Chloe’s POV“Kiss! Kiss!” My gaze swept across the crowd to see Trevor and Rachel standing close, surrounded by people cheering them on. A pang of discomfort hit me, but I tried not to dwell on it. They were just playing along with the clients—it wasn’t like they had a choice. “Chloe, what are you looking at?” Luna’s voice interrupted my thoughts. “Oh, nothing.” She followed my line of sight and immediately understood everything. “Tonight’s about us, remember? Let’s not think about anything stressful!” “Cheers!” To my surprise, Amy raised her glass and began drinking. It wasn’t long before Amy started getting a little drunk. Sitting quietly with Luna, her son, and me, Amy began to open up about her story. The woman who was usually aggressive and overly critical at work, my sworn nemesis, now looked weary and defeated, a vulnerability I’d never seen in her before. “You probably think I’m harsh, mean-spirited, even petty,” she said, her voice tinged with suppressed bit

Chloe’s POV“You have to understand me. Everything I’m doing right now is for our future.” I turned around and saw Trevor, swaying unsteadily, clearly drunk. His bloodshot eyes locked onto mine, glistening with unshed tears. “Trevor, it’s not that I don’t want to understand you, but you always make me feel… like I’m not that important to you.” “I know, it’s my fault. I didn’t consider your feelings. I wasn’t there when you needed me. You had to go to the hospital alone. And despite knowing you're allergic, I still let roses into our house just because Rachel wanted them."He gently cupped my face, his touch tender. “But, baby, I care about you. More than I care about myself.” His sincerity made my resolve waver, but before I could respond, Luna stormed out of the car and yanked me away from him. "You have no right to touch her!" Luna snapped, her glare sharp and unwavering. "Where were you when Chloe was in pain? She had to go to the hospital all by herself! And who’s the one

Chloe’s POV“What exactly are you all talking about?” I smiled as I approached my colleagues, addressing them directly. “Oh, nothing, Chloe,” one of them replied hastily. As soon as they saw me, the group quickly dispersed, avoiding any further conversation. It was odd, but I didn’t press them for answers. I had no idea what was going on, but gossip was never my thing anyway. Back in my office, I dove into a pile of work. The case files Amy had organized were a complete mess, but knowing the pressure she faced at home, I didn’t want to give her a hard time. Instead, I took it upon myself to sort everything out, including preparing the files for Roman’s case. After hours of work, I finally had a moment to step away and use the restroom. “We’ll hide over here,” a hushed voice said. I caught the sound of several footsteps as I entered the restroom but didn’t pay much attention. Once I finished, I pushed open the door to leave. Without warning, a bucket of freezing cold

Chloe’s POV"What do you mean? Ever since she came, she has been deliberately provoking me, and you still protect her?""I just don't want to hear any more arguing." He seemed to realize he had misspoken, attempting to explain."Trevor, have you ever considered my feelings?" My voice trembled, and my heart ached as if pricked by needles, "You think I'm always being unreasonable, right?"He fell silent, and through the rearview mirror, I saw impatience in his eyes."Trevor, Chloe just cares too much about you, that’s why she's so sensitive. And indeed, I did wrong," Rachel tried to soothe Trevor, playing the role of a sensible and obedient little lamb.I couldn't hold back anymore and interrupted sharply, "Rachel, stop playing the good person here! Do you think I won’t know what you are really scheming?” Just then, a large truck approached from the opposite direction, and Trevor made an emergency turn."Damn it! Chloe, watch your words!" It was the first time Trevor yelled at me.Tear
