He Cheated I Rose: Making Him Regret Everything (Chloe and Arthur) novel Chapter 191

**A Promise Hidden in the Quiet Rain by Adrian Hale**

**191 Clean Up Your Mess**

“Mom, that’s enough. I’ll handle this,” Arthur declared, his voice unwavering and resolute. His gaze flickered momentarily to Jennifer, a silent plea in his eyes, urging her to step in and guide Madilyn away from the escalating tension.

Madilyn’s words were nothing but noise in the background; he knew they wouldn’t change a thing. What he truly needed was a moment of solitude with Chloe, a small window to unravel the tangled threads of their past.

Turning to Chloe, he fixed her with an earnest look, his heart laid bare. “Chloe, there’s so much we need to sort out. Please, just a few minutes of your time. Can we sit down and talk?”

In that instant, Arthur’s entire world revolved around Chloe. He was pleading, not just with words, but with the weight of his emotions, yearning for a chance to reconnect, to clarify the chaos that had become their history.

Jennifer observed Arthur’s intensity. Her expression remained a serene facade, but inside, she felt the stirrings of uncertainty. Instead of whisking Madilyn away, she chose to address him directly, her voice gentle yet firm. “Arthur, do you ever consider how I feel when you speak like this?”

A heavy silence enveloped them as Arthur was momentarily struck dumb.

Jennifer’s words echoed louder than the clamor of the media surrounding them. Here was Arthur, practically begging his former girlfriend, Chloe, for a moment of her time, all in plain view of his current partner. It painted Jennifer as an afterthought, a mere shadow in the backdrop of Arthur’s past.

It was no surprise that she felt compelled to voice her feelings. The tears glimmering in her eyes, coupled with her fragile demeanor, tugged at the heartstrings of onlookers. Arthur was undeniably in the wrong here, caught in a web of his own making.

How could he exhibit such thoughtlessness?

And what about Chloe? If she was truly his ex, why was she still lingering in this moment, refusing to let go?

Darin leaned in, whispering something conspiratorial into Landon’s ear.

After a brief exchange, Landon shifted closer to Chloe, his voice low and conspiratorial. “The online chatter is escalating again. People are claiming you’re still entangled with Arthur, that you’re his ex, and now he’s looking at you like that right in front of his new girlfriend. They’re saying your actions are inappropriate.”

Chloe, faced with such ludicrous allegations, remained unfazed.

Her expression was one of cold disdain as she regarded Arthur.

“Arthur, do yourself a favor and wipe that pitiful expression off your face. Get your tangled relationships sorted out and keep your mother in check. Stop trying to elicit a reaction from me.” Her eyes hardened, glinting with icy resolve. “Because, frankly, none of you are worth my time.”

“Chloe! Have the guts to say that again!” Madilyn shrieked, her face flushed with rage.
