The Innocent Wife of Scheming President
Chapter 514: Olive is a true treasure in his heart

Laughed Alan. "No, Dad, you let our win on purpose.”

"Dad, you lost again.” Chloe mourned as she tugged at Alan's hand. "Who had a son-in-law likeyou? Don't you know to respect the old and let your father-in-law win? *

Olive's father laughed. "We're just playing chess, so winning or losing is not that important. Besides,even if I lose, I lose with confidence, because everyone wins according to their own merits, right? Ithas nothing to do with age. I often lose to Alan, but if I play chess with your Aoba, he can't beat meat chess."

"Aoba doesn't belong to me yet, so don't say that now, and it's still unknown.” Chloe always felt thatif she didn't have high hopes, she wouldn't be very disappointed. She could fall in love, but she wasnever willing to compromise for the sake of marriage.

Olive's mother gave Chloe a jolt with her elbow quietly. "How can you talk like that? Aoba is seriousabout you, so don't take him for granted.”

Chloe stared back at them as they shot her in the eye. "I didn't take him for granted, as I'm serioustoo, so don't look at me suspiciously, and I'm not trifling with his affections.”

"Knowing my brother, he really likes you, so you can't run away." Alan said this to her.

"Anyway, I have said in advance that he will come and talk to me about marriage only after he canpersuade your mother. Now, if he wants to be in a relationship with me, we'll be in a relationship,while if he doesn't want to be with me, I won't pester him after he breaks up with me. I'm not goingto be as generous as Olive because I've been selfish since the divorce, and I always think of myselffirst.”

Not that she was proud, and not that she was free and easy, but that she had seen throughsomething. A man was expected to live for himself, while fighting a flame for love was no longer athing for people of her age and state of mind.

Love had been replaced by a real and cruel life that had cut her off from any illusions, so love wasnot her whole life, just a part of it.

"I understand.” Alan didn't mind and blame Chloe for these words, as he just thought that it was ablessing that he could marry such a kind woman as Olive, so Olive was the real treasure in his heart."Thank you.” Chloe made a sudden polite reply, but suddenly, as if remembering something, sheuttered a strange cry. "Gee, I almost forget something."

As soon as she had said this, she jumped up like an arrow, went out, and quickly turned and wentinto the next room.

"She's such a restless child.” Olive's mother shook her head.

Olive was used to her doing this, so Olive replied with a smile. "Mom, you know she's always likethat.”

Chloe didn't have anything else going on, except that Aoba had asked her for a video chat. Aobawas busy these days, and according to his work schedule, he had many things to do every day, butwhen he made time to replace her online, she stood him up several times.

Tonight she was going to give him a little comfort, but her good mood was ruined by the news thatMrs. Hoyle, the old witch, was coming to Luo City, so when she appeared in Aoba's sight, she lookeda little unhappy.

Aoba frowned as he watched her moody expression from the other end of the video. "Why do youlook so sad? Who bullied you? When you saw me, you didn't even smile? Don't you miss me?"Chloe leaned over the table, as she weakly rolled her eyes. "You're not the apple of my eye, so whyshould I miss you?"

Aoba was often struck by what she said so that Aoba was immune to what she said. "If you don'tmiss your man, who do you miss?"

Chloe blurted out. "I'm thinking about your mother.”

Alan didn't respond for a moment, so he frowned deeply. "You are a girl, so how can you easily saydirty words."

"I didn't say dirty words, as I mean your Mrs. Hoyle. She's so shameless. She's so mean to Olive, butshe's got the guts to come to Luo City and fight for Olive's baby." Chloe despised her deeply.

"I was going to tell you about that..."

Chloe interrupted Aoba before he could finish his words. "If I were Olive, I wouldn't give the baby toher."

"Chloe....." He called to her.

"What do you want?" Chloe snapped back.

"Actually, if you think about it more carefully, my Mom was just looking for a step-down, and she iswilling to go to Luo City to live with my brother and sister-in-law. Although she is ostensibly for thebaby in my sister-in-law's belly, she has a good feeling for my sister-in-law actually, but she justwon't admit it. Given time, I'm sure they'll get along very well." Aoba tried to give her a littleconfidence.

"Oh, yeah?" Chloe gave an odd laugh because she deeply doubted what he had said.

"Chloe, I know how much you hate my Mom, and you've had problems with her, so it's hard for youto get along with her, but this is an opportunity, so I hope you just hang in there for a while for thesake of our future happiness. Can't you take the initiative to show yourself in front of my Mom?"Aoba said to her imploringly.

But Chloe rebuffed his request. "I'm sorry, but I can’t serve Mrs. Hoyle, the Lord on high.”

"Chloe, would you stop talking like that?” When Aoba listened to her, he felt a real headache, sincehe could almost see how exciting the war between his mother and Chloe was going to be soon"What do you want me to say?" Asked Chloe, seemingly placidly.

He should have known from the beginning what kind of person she really was. She was willing tosubmit to humiliation if to those who were worthy of her forbearance, but to those who were notworthy of her forbearance, she was sorry, for she had been polite enough not to frown.

"Will you stop being so grumpy for my sake?" Aoba didn't have to look in a mirror to see his bitterface.

"I'm good-natured now, just for your sake. With your mother like that, you can't expect me to treather any better. All I can tell you is that if your mother comes to my city, I try to avoid seeing her foryour sake. If I have to see her, I won't actively provoke her, but when she gives me a hard time, I'lldefend myself." It was as far as she could go, and she couldn't take another step back.

Aoba knew he couldn't come up with a better outcome on this topic right now, while he wasworried that when Mrs. Hoyle arrived in Luo City, Chloe would be wronged if he was not there toguard her.

It's just that Chloe didn’t seem to want to lose, so he thought maybe Mrs. Hoyle couldn't takeadvantage of Chloe.

In the next room, Olives parents have left, as they have been tactful enough to let Olive and Alango to bed early, but Annie has been lying in the middle of the big bed and wouldn't leave, sayingthat she's going to sleep with her Mom and Dad, who were away for a few days.

Annie was very good at acting like a spoiled child to Alan, while Alan was like a slave to hisdaughter, so he naturally had no objection. He threw his arms around her and they rolled happily onthe bed. Alan grinned, and he didn't look like the boss of the Group at all.

At this moment, he was just the father of a child and the husband of a woman, while this hadnothing to do with anything else.
