Lucas Morgan clearly felt that there was some estrangement between him and this little niece.
No matter that he’s put everything aside these past few days to take care of her.
The more he took care of her, the more distant she seemed.
She said it over a hundred times, "You go, I can handle it myself."
Lucas was so angry he wanted to hit her.
But when he thought about it...
Lily Grant’s affairs had caused several unpleasant incidents, so her having emotions was understandable.
Lucas decided that no matter how distant Chloe Grant was, he would still take good care of her these days to make up for the past unpleasantness.
To put it bluntly, it was to mend the relationship.
This niece was very important to him, and Lucas absolutely didn’t want to become estranged from her.
Thinking about this... it felt all sorts of uncomfortable in his heart.
It was like when he was a child, and his most cherished possession suddenly disappeared, leaving his heart feeling empty, mixed with a bit of sadness.
It was not a happy feeling.
Lucas blinked, turned around, and drove away.
He didn’t answer Chloe Grant’s question.
"Why won’t you answer me?" Chloe Grant wanted to know the answer.
If someone told him they liked him very much, liked him for ten years, liked him so much that they didn’t even have the strength to give up.
Would he be... moved...
"In the royal city, there are plenty of women who want to cling to me. If I paid attention to all of them, I could start a harem." Lucas replied arrogantly with that.
Chloe Grant frowned, "But what I meant was if someone competed with your girlfriend..."
"I wouldn’t give them the chance."
Lucas immediately interrupted Chloe Grant.
When the red light stopped, he put his hand on the steering wheel and turned to look at Chloe Grant, smirking, "When I choose a girlfriend, it’s with careful consideration. I ensure that the person can accompany me for life, and I want to accompany her for life. So..."
He suddenly made a chopping gesture through the air, "All the flings around me must be... cut off!"
This is the best way to protect and cherish a girlfriend.
Chloe Grant felt a stir in her heart, she wanted to smile, but couldn’t, so her expression was a bit odd.
Lucas reached out and patted her, "Even though I don’t know what’s going on between you and Lily, but... Chloe, she is someone your uncle likes very much."
The red light had changed, and Lucas drove off.
Chloe Grant pressed her lips together, shifted her gaze to the scenery passing by the window, feeling desolate inside.
Uncle Lucas, that woman is not sincere with you!
These days, Chloe Grant was also conflicted inside.
She had initially resolved to let go of Lucas, but...
During dangerous times, when she was lost due to being unable to see, when applying medicine to wounds was unbearably painful... he was always there.
Especially when she couldn’t see, she’d have nightmares, yet feel warm hands gently soothing her forehead, and hear the words, "Don’t be afraid, I’ll be with you."
His presence chased away countless nightmares and let her sleep peacefully.
Even in a half-asleep state, facing nightmares, she’d self-soothe, "Don’t worry, he’ll be with me."
Chloe Grant was already fond of him.
He stayed by her side in her most vulnerable times, giving her strength and tenderness... It’s something even the hardest of hearts find difficult to give up!
Chloe Grant bit her lip, tormented inside.
She didn’t know what to do...
She couldn’t let go... but couldn’t bear it.
She couldn’t offer her blessings... Lily Grant was not sincere, she was using him!
To ensure that the one she likes can be happy...
