My Blind Wife Wants Divorced

“Oh, I see. Now you’re keeping secrets from me.”

“It’s not like that, Adrianna. It was a spontaneous trip, no plans for a vacation.”

Adrianna looked at Chloe intently. “That’s good, Sa. You deserve to be happy, and you can be happy without Leonel. I’m happy for you if you’re happy. Whatever decision you make, I’ll support you.” Adrianna said with a sincere smile.

The atmosphere suddenly changed, making Chloe touch and even bringing tears to her eyes. “What’s with you? You’re so unpredictable.” The woman blinked her eyes several times after turning her face away from Adrianna.

“No wonder you’ve been teasing me all this time. Oh, someone’s in a blooming romance, happy. Look at you, just back from a honeymoon.” This time, Adrianna teased Chloe, no longer sulking like when she first entered the cafe.

Chloe grinned. “Honeymoon? What are you talking about? We just went on a trip together, unlike what you’re thinking. Your mind is so dirty it needs to be cleaned.”

“You’re being shy but willing.” Adrianna poked Chloe’s chin.

“Don’t call me that. It would help if you focused on your beloved school principal. I’m sure he likes you; it’s just that you’re not aware of it.” Chloe mentioned the principal again, making Adrianna sulk again.

“Ugh, why are you talking about that person again? I’m already happy to see progress in your relationship with Darren. But you’re ruining the atmosphere by talking about that person. I don’t care whether he likes or dislikes me. What he’s doing now is just not right, so annoying!” In her style, Adrianna continued to disagree with Chloe’s opinion, which she found illogical.

Considering the possibility mentioned by Chloe made Adrianna feel awkward. She started to entertain the same option and paid attention to her appearance. If it were true that the school principal was doing all those disruptions to get close to her, she would start to think about what she would do. She also questioned her feelings for the man. “Does he like me? And… if he does, what should I do? Would I reject his feelings? Or maybe I also like him?” Adrianna wondered in her heart. She daydreamed and contemplated the possibilities Chloe mentioned, although her lips contradicted them.

“Watch out. He might suddenly bring a rose and kneel before you if he likes you. You might faint if that happens.” Chloe continued to tease her friend.

Adrianna shook her head vigorously. “Enough! Stop! No, I don’t want to get carried away!” She exclaimed while continuing to shake her head. Then she stopped shaking her head and covered her ears with both hands.

Once again, Adrianna found herself daydreaming. She imagined the school principal kneeling while holding flowers, just as Chloe had described. Suddenly, she smiled, but a few moments later, she shook her head. “Stop it, Sa. I regret telling you. You’re just making me more stressed!”

Seeing her friend looking restless, Chloe felt grateful. She considered herself lucky because Darren openly admitted his feelings for her. She couldn’t imagine if Darren was a shy type of guy who expressed his affection in strange ways. Just the thought of it made her laugh.

“Okay, let’s not talk about the school principal anymore. Now, let me ask about your relationship with Darren. Can we interpret your vacation together as a sign that you will marry him?” Adrianna’s question left Chloe frozen. The beautiful woman didn’t know how to answer. Her cheerful expression turned into confusion as if she had lost her direction and didn’t know where to go.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

On the one hand, Chloe acknowledged that Darren was a good person and prospective husband. However, on the other hand, she still had doubts about getting married again. She was still traumatized by the lingering pain in her heart.

Chloe looked at Adrianna intently, trying to find an answer to the question that had momentarily frozen her.

“Marriage is not an easy matter that I can decide quickly,” Chloe replied softly.

Adrianna quickly swallowed. “Quickly? You’ve been close for over a year, Chloe. Do you think a year is a short time? Put yourself in Darren’s position, and he’s been patient, Sa. Remember, he must have mentioned marriage or wedding at least once.”

Adrianna’s words reminded Chloe of what Darren had said two days ago about their marriage. She had remained silent and seemed unwilling to discuss the sacred topic. Chloe looked at her friend with a melancholy gaze, took a deep breath, and crossed her arms. “I don’t know myself, Adrianna. I admit Darren is a good person; I enjoy being with him. But I’m still afraid when it comes to marriage; I still have doubts. If I could prolong it even further, I would still want to be like this, in a relationship without marriage status.”

“Think about Darren’s feelings, Chloe. As your friend, as someone who has witnessed your pain with Leonel, I understand how you feel now. But how long are you going to stay like this? Don’t you want to avoid getting trapped in the past and being unable to move forward? I’m not trying to lecture you; I want you to live a happy life, Sa. Look, yesterday you went on vacation with Darren and looked so happy. I want to see you like that every day; I want to see you happy.” Adrianna spoke with a melodious voice. Her lengthy statement left an impression on Chloe, who tried to follow her advice, even though it might not be immediate.

Around noon, Adrianna left after having lunch with Chloe at the beautiful single woman’s café. It didn’t take long for Darren to arrive with a charming smile.

Chloe returned the smile with a charming one, which caught Darren’s eye. “You look so beautiful today,” said the doctor as he sat beside Chloe.

Chloe widened her smile even more, delighted to see Darren looking happy that afternoon. It meant that their impromptu vacation from the day before had been successful and left many pleasant memories for both of them. “You’re coming here so often; what do you want for lunch this time?” Chloe teasingly asked.

“I want to have a special lunch, which is eating while admiring a beautiful woman, so the satisfaction lasts longer.” Darren didn’t hesitate to utter words that made Chloe blush.

“What do you want to order?” Chloe asked, trying to change the subject. She didn’t want to dwell too long on the embarrassment caused by the handsome doctor’s flattery. She immediately stood up, wanting to prepare the food and drinks that Darren wanted by herself.

Darren seemed to think for a moment, but not for long. “Anything, as long as you accompany me for lunch here. I’m sure whatever I eat will taste delicious.”

A playful pinch landed perfectly on Darren’s arm. “Oh, now you’re good at flirting. Fine, I’ll bring you the remaining food and drinks.”

Darren winced in pain before laughing while watching Chloe go to the kitchen, leaving him alone. He sat there observing the café, which was soon filled with customers within minutes. During lunchtime, Chloe’s café was always bustling with visitors; some were willing to wait for an empty table to dine there.

Seeing how busy Chloe was, Darren felt sorry for her and suspected that she was tired. He planned to invite Chloe on another vacation, like the one they had before, even if it didn’t have to be out of town. Darren believed Chloe would agree as long as they could take a short break from their hectic routines.
