He Cheated I Rose: Making Him Regret Everything (Chloe and Arthur) novel Chapter 164

Chapter 164: A Chilling Smile

Arthur sat rigidly in his living room, eyes fixed on the television screen before him. He had cleared his entire day, making sure nothing would interrupt his focus on the live broadcast. The camera panned slowly over the venue, revealing a sea of eager fans and reporters packed shoulder to shoulder, their excitement palpable. The atmosphere was electric, buzzing with anticipation for the event about to unfold.

Yet, Arthur’s attention wasn’t on the crowd or the spectacle. His mind was locked onto one person: Chloe, the lead designer behind the much-anticipated launch.

The “Four Seasons” collection—twelve distinctive pieces—was not the product of a large professional team, but rather the vision of a single designer named Chloe. The thought of her stirred a shadow across Arthur’s face. Today, he would witness firsthand what she was truly capable of.

Cosmos Group’s celebrated signed designer—what exactly could she achieve?

The quiet creak of the front door opening broke his concentration. Jennifer stepped inside, holding Jenarth’s small hand. She noticed Arthur’s tense posture and his unwavering gaze glued to the screen. Without hesitation, she snatched the soda can from Jenarth’s hand and tossed it into the nearest trash bin.

Jenarth frowned, about to protest, but a sharp glance from his mother quickly silenced him. He understood the unspoken command immediately.

“Mommy, Daddy Arthur’s home!” Jenarth chirped, his voice laced with an extra sweetness as if trying to lighten the mood.

Jennifer responded softly, guiding him further into the room. Turning to Arthur, she spoke with practiced calm, “Arthur, I thought you had meetings today. What brings you home so early?”

Arthur didn’t respond. It was as if he hadn’t even registered her presence, his eyes still locked on the unfolding scene on the television.

Curious, Jennifer followed his gaze and realized what held him captive. Her expression hardened instantly.

Of course. His thoughts were consumed by that woman once again.

The “Four Seasons” launch.

A sudden, fierce urge to storm over and smash the television surged through Jennifer’s veins. But then she paused, reconsidering. Today’s event carried other possibilities. Slowly, a cold, calculating smile curled on her lips.

“Jenarth, go upstairs and play,” Jennifer instructed, releasing his hand. The boy darted up the stairs the moment her words left her mouth.

The sound of his retreating footsteps was the first interruption to Arthur’s unwavering focus.

“Arthur,” Jennifer called softly again, this time moving gracefully to sit beside him on the sofa.

“I took Jenarth shopping earlier,” she said gently, producing a neatly wrapped gift box. “I saw this and thought of you.”

Inside was a carefully chosen tie, selected with deliberate thought.
