Beyond the Divorce

Her words created an awkward atmosphere. I just smiled faintly, watching Michelle's bewildered and nervous expression. The total bill frightened her. If they were to split it equally, it would undoubtedly hurt her wallet, forcing her to speak up. "Miss, here's the bill. You can check it." The waiter understood Michelle's hint and handed the bill to her.

As if afraid to touch it, Michelle muttered, "Don't give it to me. Let Ms. Chloe check it."

The waiter immediately turned and handed the bill to me. I calmly said, "It's fine. Has it been paid?"

"Yes, Ms. Chloe." the waiter said respectfully.

Michelle quickly caught on, visibly relieved. She looked at the waiter and asked, "It's settled? W-Who paid?"

"Mr. Atlas settled the bill," the waiter calmly repeated.

Ivanna looked at Michelle. "You're embarrassing. Do you think Chloe is like you? Would her face turn purple just because of a bill? You got one thing right. With Chloe here, you all don't have to go Dutch."

The waiter bowed and spoke to me in a low voice, "Mr. Atlas is here to pick you up. He's waiting outside."

"Okay," I said and stood up, looking at my classmates, who seemed concerned about me. "I'll leave first. We'll meet again soon."

Theo, hurriedly approached. "Chloe, don't worry about Beatrice. As long as I go to Beatrice's hometown again, I'll inquire carefully. I promise."

"Thank you so much! Leave me your phone number; if you have any information, give me a call." I provided my number after saying that. I noticed the others quickly jotting down my phone number. Theo quickly said to me, "Why are you so courteous? We're classmates, after all. We should keep in touch. If we're talking about gratitude, we should thank you today for treating everyone to a meal." "It's nothing. It's been so many years." I smiled politely and said, "I'll leave first."
