He Cheated I Rose: Making Him Regret Everything (Chloe and Arthur) novel Chapter 319

**TITLE: A Promise Hidden in the Quiet Rain by Adrian Hale**
**Chapter 319: Calculated Composure**

Arthur’s ex-wife was nothing short of breathtaking, her beauty radiating effortlessly. The young man accompanying her was equally striking, a vision of youth and charm that was hard to ignore. It was no surprise that she had moved on from Arthur.

In a scenario where a woman had to choose between a man like Arthur, with his wealth, and someone like that dashing companion, it was easy to see why she might lean toward the latter for his looks, while perhaps settling for Arthur’s financial stability.

From the vantage point of the private lounge, Eugene surveyed the unfolding drama below him, a sly smile playing on his lips. The scene was vibrant, filled with laughter and the subtle tension of relationships shifting.

Landon, who had been observing the exchange with keen interest, felt a growing sense of unease. As soon as Chloe wrapped her arm around the handsome stranger, Landon’s posture shifted; he straightened up in his seat, alarm flashing across his face.

“Whoa! Eugene, did you catch that? Your competition just stepped into the ring. Look at that guy—he’s built like a Greek god, he’s got the looks, and most importantly, he’s young! You can practically see the energy radiating off him!”

Landon was reveling in this moment, clearly enjoying the chance to tease Eugene. It wasn’t often he had the opportunity to poke fun at him like this.

However, before Landon could fully bask in his own amusement, Eugene simply smiled, his demeanor calm and collected. “Well, I must admit, he does have an impressive physique,” he replied, his tone light.

“Seriously, man! I’m trying to help you here! Did you not hear what Chloe said to her son? That guy—Leland, or whatever his name is—they’ve even shared a bed! And you’re still throwing compliments his way?” Landon was utterly perplexed. Had Eugene completely lost his senses over this woman?

Typically, when rivals confronted one another, a palpable tension filled the air. Even Arthur, the quintessential pushover, had shown flashes of anger. Yet, Eugene remained unfazed, his composure unshaken.

“To be honest, his physique is quite impressive, don’t you think?” Eugene raised an eyebrow, glancing at Landon, who was momentarily rendered speechless.

Eugene’s calm demeanor only fueled Landon’s confusion.

With a faint smile, Eugene retrieved his phone, his fingers dancing over the screen as he pulled up Chloe’s contact information.

Landon straightened in his seat, his curiosity piqued. What was Eugene planning to say?

Was he finally going to confront her about the other man?

After all, Leland was right there, a tangible threat to Eugene’s interests. If he didn’t act swiftly, he risked losing her for good. This was unprecedented for Eugene; he had never felt such seriousness towards a woman before. The thought of being outmatched by someone else was a blow to his pride that he couldn’t afford.

Eugene initiated the call. After a brief pause, Chloe’s voice resonated through the line.

“Hey, what’s up?”

Landon held his breath, anticipation coursing through him. What would Eugene say next? If he inquired about the other man, how would Chloe respond?

To Landon’s utter disbelief, Eugene casually said, “Just finished up. How about grabbing a late-night bite?”
