"Uncle Morgan, what’s up?" Chloe Grant asked softly.
Although her body leaned slightly towards Matthew Morgan, her gaze was cast downward...
The main thing was that she didn’t dare to directly face Matthew Morgan, lest she accidentally notice the chicken leg in his bowl...
She loved eating chicken legs the most.
"Take the chicken leg away." Matthew Morgan habitually commanded.
Chloe Grant was once again surprised, looked up... and accidentally locked eyes with Matthew Morgan.
His expression, as always, was serious, as always... making Chloe Grant feel scared.
Chloe Grant quickly shifted her gaze, and after a few seconds, she realized... Uncle was telling her to take the chicken leg away.
She immediately grabbed the chopsticks to pick up the chicken leg.
Maybe it was because she was too nervous, or the pressure from Matthew Morgan was too overwhelming, Chloe Grant struggled several times to pick it up, her hands trembling, causing a few drops of chicken soup to splash out.
Chloe Grant wailed internally.
Lucas Morgan watched from the side and scoffed, "Chloe Grant, are you all thumbs?"
Chloe Grant looked up and glared at him fiercely!
Let’s see you try! You try it!
You try it, with someone like Matthew staring at you from the side, and see if you can stay calm!
Just when Chloe Grant was about to give up totally, suddenly, she felt a warmth on the back of her hand...
She was surprised as Matthew Morgan’s hand covered hers, then guided her, helping her successfully pick up the chicken leg from the bowl and move it to her own... at last, he let go.
Chloe Grant looked at the unharmed chicken leg in her bowl, feeling a little dazed, her heart pounding faster and faster.
Matthew Morgan took a napkin and wiped away the soup Chloe Grant had spilled, then continued drinking his soup as if nothing had happened.
Next to them, Isabella Gray seemed unfazed.
It was no secret in the family that Matthew Morgan had a soft spot for Chloe Grant. He just wasn’t good with words and habitually cold, which gave off a sense of distance and made people feel afraid.
For the next two days, nothing else happened. Chloe Grant stayed at the old mansion, and surprisingly, both Lucas Morgan and Matthew Morgan stayed there too.
There were several moments when Chloe Grant felt like she had gone back to the old days.
And today was the day she had agreed to have dinner with her dorm mates.
The location was at the Imperial Hotel, with Sophia Fraser hosting.
Sophia Fraser was the famous rich girl in the dorm, often hosting gatherings.
After getting ready, Chloe Grant carried her backpack downstairs, only to unexpectedly see... Matthew Morgan standing there holding car keys.
Her steps instinctively paused.
Matthew Morgan turned his head and glanced at her, "Going out?"
Chloe Grant obediently nodded.
"I’m going to the Imperial Hotel, Sophia Fraser is hosting a gathering." Chloe Grant answered obediently.
Even if she was given ten times the courage, she wouldn’t dare hide anything from Matthew Morgan.
"She’s hosting again?" Matthew Morgan frowned slightly, apparently not unfamiliar with this person.
Chloe’s dorm mate, seemingly quite good to her.
"Hmm..." Chloe Grant answered softly, standing on the last step of the stairs, looking at her white sneakers, feeling a bit lost.
Not sure whether to go down or stay put...
"I’m going to the Imperial Hotel for business, come with me."
After saying that, he walked towards the outside.
Chloe Grant looked up in surprise, instinctively licking her dry lips...
To ride in Uncle Morgan’s car, this is...
In the car, Chloe Grant sat obediently in the passenger seat, wearing her seatbelt, back straight... her posture was completely like a school kid being inspected by a teacher, sitting in class...
