He Cheated I Rose: Making Him Regret Everything (Chloe and Arthur) novel Chapter 298

**A Promise Hidden in the Quiet Rain by Adrian Hale**
**Chapter 298: The Dinner Invitation**

Arthur found himself taken aback by Charles’ unexpected composure. Instead of the fiery outburst he had braced himself for, there was a serene calmness that enveloped the room like a soothing balm.

Though a whirlwind of confusion swirled in his mind, Arthur grasped the underlying message with startling clarity. There was a path laid out before him, and he knew he had to follow it without hesitation.

Jennifer was the puppet master behind this entire debacle—manipulating Chloe, inciting public outrage, and orchestrating this chaos that threatened to unravel everything. The threads of the situation all led back to her. Now, it was imperative that Arthur confront Jennifer head-on.

“I understand, Grandpa. I’ll handle this,” he said, his voice steady, yet tinged with regret. He bowed deeply, a gesture of respect, before turning to exit. As he reached the door of the hospital room, he paused to ask the nurse to keep a vigilant eye on Charles, then stepped out into the corridor, the weight of his mission heavy on his shoulders.

Once Arthur’s footsteps faded into silence, Charles gradually opened his eyes, the weariness of his body evident.

“Arthur,” he murmured, his voice low and gravelly, “you didn’t merely lose someone dear to you. You’ve jeopardized the entire future of the Myers family. This is a consequence of your own actions.”

Chloe emerged from the hospital’s main entrance, the brisk air greeting her like an old friend. Her gaze quickly fell upon a sleek black car that was unmistakably familiar.

As soon as the driver spotted her, the vehicle glided toward her with purpose, halting directly in front of her. The window slid down to reveal Eugene, seated elegantly in the back, his demeanor as composed as ever.

“Everything settled?” he inquired, his eyes locking onto hers with an intensity that made her heart skip a beat.

Chloe raised an eyebrow, her tone sharp yet playful. “All done.”

“Get in,” he commanded, a hint of authority lacing his words.

“Mr. Rosewood, I mentioned before that there was no need for you to wait,” Chloe replied, a slight smile dancing on her lips, amused by his persistence.

“Lewis Group is likely still tangled in their debate over announcing you as their executive director. My car is fast; I can give you a lift on my way,” Eugene said, a playful glimmer in his eyes.

A smile crept across Eugene’s lips as he gestured to the empty seat beside him. “Get in.”

Chloe, momentarily caught off guard by his charming smile, climbed into the car and settled beside him.

Once she was comfortably seated, Eugene reached into the compartment and produced a small, exquisitely wrapped box of pastries.

Chloe’s eyes widened in surprise as she glanced down, recognizing them as Robert’s all-time favorite.

She turned her gaze back to Eugene, curiosity piqued.

“I happened to pass a bakery that had these, so I picked some up. I remembered you mentioning them once. Thought you might enjoy them—or maybe Robert would,” he said nonchalantly, adjusting the car’s temperature with a practiced ease.

Chloe couldn’t help but chuckle at that.

Indeed, she had only bought those pastries once since they met—just that solitary occasion.

Had Eugene been observant enough to notice such a trivial detail?
