<h4>Chapter 303: Chapter 303: Remarriage</h4>


    Chloe Simpson was taken aback on the spot; she truly never expected that Lucas Hughes would prepare such a romantic candlelight dinner proposal.


    At that moment, Chloe didn’t dare to move; she wasn’t happy, nor was she feeling blissful.


    She didn’t know why, but all she could think about was the scene from when they got married before.


    Lucas Hughes simply said, "Let’s get married," and she merely replied, "Okay."


    Then the two informed each other’s parents and directly went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get their marriage certificate.


    No derations, no proposal, not to mention a candlelight dinner or anything like kneeling on the spot like now.


    The same person, one after the other, both proposing marriage...


    At this moment, Chloe felt a whirlwind of emotions; it left a bitter taste in her heart.


    Does she still love Lucas Hughes?


    She didn’t know!


    Does she still want to marry him, be with him?


    She didn’t know either.


    At this moment, her mind was filled with the scenes of the proposals at different times.


    The men and women dining at nearby tables stood up, surrounding them to watch the spectacle.


    "Say yes!"


    "Say yes!"


    The crowd chimed in unison.


    Yet Chloe seemed to not hear them; her mind was filled only with the scenes of her and Lucas Hughes’s proposals.


    And the memories of their five years together.


    "Chloe, please say yes and be with me again, alright? I promise, this time, no matter what happens, I will never let go of your hand again."


    Lucas Hughes was still kneeling on the ground, gazing at her with deep affection, waiting for her response.


    Chloe snapped back to reality, standing there, truly unsure of what to do.


    Leaving wasn’t an option, nor was staying. As for agreeing, she couldn’t bring herself to say it.


    Suddenly, at that moment, her phone rang.


    It was a call from her mother, Emily Sterling.


    "Hi, Mom."


    At that moment, Chloe truly felt like she had been granted a reprieve, and she quickly took her phone and walked out of the crowd.


    As Chloe walked away, Lucas Hughes watched her back, and the deep affection in his eyes instantly turned into full-blown contempt, disgust, and resentment.


    Damn it!


    Bitch, proposing to you was already giving you face!


    And you still won’t agree!


    Just wait; I’m going to remember all of this, and one day I’ll take it all back.


    Either you give me equal money, or you let me have my fun, drive you to the edge.


    At that moment, Chloe stood outside the hotel, making the call, not knowing anything yet.


    She was still wondering how to reject Lucas Hughes’s sudden proposal.


    She didn’t know what Lucas was thinking at that moment.


    Fortunately, her mother’s call came at just the right time.


    Emily Sterling called, and Chloe made an excuse, saying she was on a business trip.


    She didn’t dare mention being with Lucas Hughes, especially since Alexander Johnson had already gone to Emily Sterling and told her everything.


    Since then, Chloe had a fallout with Emily Sterling.


    She hadn’t returned home during that time either.


    Naturally, she wouldn’t tell Emily Sterling that she was with Lucas Hughes.


    After exchanging a few pleasantries, Chloe hung up the phone; she didn’t want to talk more with Lucas Hughes.


    By the time she returned, the crowd that had surrounded her and Lucas Hughes had long dispersed.


    Only Lucas Hughes was left sitting at the table, continuing to eat slowly.


    When he saw Chloee back, he quickly stood up, pulled out her chair for her to sit down.


    Once Chloe sat down, Lucas Hughes spoke again, "Chloe, have you thought about it? About us getting back together..."
