# Chapter 5566: The Quiet Warmth of Childhood Sweethearts
Hello everyone, it’s me again! How are you all doing? Today I will continue to walk with you and review Chapter 5566 of "Married at First Sight". This chapter is a gentle, warm pause in the storm of family history and business ties, and it gives us a lovely look at the bond between Devon and Chloe. So let’s step into Chloe’s office and see what unfolds.
The chapter opens with Devon arriving at FC & Co. He is Chloe’s fiancé and such a frequent visitor that the employees would probably worry he was sick if he did not show up. He knows Chloe’s office almost better than his own. With an easy confidence, he tells the secretary that he can go in by himself and that she should go ahead with her work. The secretary opens the door for him, lets him in, and then heads off toward the VIP room.
Once inside, Devon places the bag he brought on Chloe’s desk and settles into her black swivel chair. Before him is a mountain of unfinished paperwork, but instead of waiting idly, he flips open a binder and begins going through it earnestly. When he finds no issue, he writes “no problem” in pencil at the top of the first page—his usual practice when helping Chloe with her work. It is a small gesture, but it says a great deal about their closeness and trust. Their companies work closely together, so Devon knows exactly how far each project has progressed, and Chloe is just as familiar with the ins and outs of the Ormonds’ business. The elders even joke that if the two ever became enemies and went all out against each other, neither would gain the upper hand because they simply know each other too well. Luckily, the two families reconciled in their parents’ generation and are no longer sworn rivals, which allowed Devon and Chloe to be united in marriage.
About ten minutes later, Chloe returns. When she sees Devon sitting in her chair and helping with her paperwork, she is not unhappy at all. She simply walks over and remarks that if his father knew he had come over to help her again, he would think Devon had too much free time and give him more work. Then she teases him not to come crying to her when that happens. Devon sets down the pen, walks around the desk, and meets her halfway with a wide smile on his handsome face. He tells her not to tell his father, because if Yves finds out, he will really make Devon slave away while he and Iris go gallivanting. Devon adds with a grin that his father is most jealous of him.
If Yves could hear this, he would surely retort that he created Devon—why would he be jealous of him? A hint of a smile appears on Chloe’s cold face, and she says the only thing his father would be jealous of is his youth. Devon pulls out the chair for her and gestures for her to sit. He says his father is jealous of his youth, his good looks, and of him having such an outstanding childhood sweetheart. Then he adds that they are childhood sweethearts who actually managed to become a couple—and that is where his father is most jealous of him.
The chapter then draws us into the older generation’s love story. Yves Ormond’s first love was his childhood sweetheart, but the girl did not truly fancy the devoted Yves. She treated him more like a backup plan while pursuing Ben Johnson, who had no feelings for her. Ben liked Jane, and they married, but even then Yves’s first love did not give up. For a long time, she kept causing trouble, repeatedly using and hurting Yves. It was under these circumstances that Iris first entered Yves’s world. Her forthright, free, and easy manner, together with her cutting wit, deeply attracted Yves and made him give up on his first love completely.
However, Iris had told Devon that deep down, even if Yves had given up on his childhood sweetheart and devoted the rest of his life to Iris, he still held regrets that they did not end up together. After Devon was born, Yves deliberately made sure his son would grow up with Chloe as childhood sweethearts. He instilled in Devon that Chloe was his other half, that he should love and protect her and be good to her all his life, and that he definitely had to become the Young-Johnsons’ son-in-law. Devon and Chloe indeed grew up together, and he loved her truly. It was not merely the result of his father’s indoctrination. If nothing went awry, Devon and Chloe would be joined in holy matrimony. In Yves’s view, that would make them the perfect childhood sweethearts and make up for his own regret of not ending up with his childhood sweetheart. The younger generation had heard about their parents’ love stories growing up. Chloe was also aware of Yves and Iris’s love story, and that Yves and her father were once love rivals. Hearing Devon’s words, she laughs and says, “Our generation is the most fortunate.”
This chapter may not have explosive conflict, but it is rich with emotional texture. It shows us how history repeats, how parents project their unfinished dreams onto their children, and how those children can still choose genuine love. Devon’s devotion feels real, and Chloe’s cold exterior softens beautifully in his presence.
**Reader’s Impressions & Star Rating:**
As a reader, I found this chapter quietly satisfying. It is not loud or dramatic, but it reveals the foundations of Devon and Chloe’s relationship with warmth and clarity. The contrast between the older generation’s tangled love story and the younger couple’s steadier bond is beautifully drawn. The office scene is sweet without being overly sentimental, and the family history adds depth to their romance.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.8 / 5 Stars
**Next Chapter Prediction:**
I predict the next chapter will move from this cozy office moment into a family gathering or a business complication that tests Devon and Chloe’s bond. Yves and Iris may appear, and the old love story could resurface in a humorous or awkward way. Devon may have to prove that his love for Chloe is more than his father’s carefully arranged dream, while Chloe may face a new challenge that makes her rely on him even more.
