Isn’t loving someone just , absurd and naive?
Isn’t it just, even if he’s not with you, you don’t want to see him get hurt and only wish for his happiness, this kind of foolishness?
Chloe Grant couldn’t help but laugh at herself.
When Lucas protected Lily Grant as they went downstairs, her heart was pierced harshly, but she had to act as if nothing was wrong.
Pretending, as Lucas and Lily went downstairs, she walked upstairs.
"Chloe, weren’t you going to eat Little Dragon shrimp?" Isabella Gray started to put on an apron, deciding to handle these Little Dragon shrimp personally.
After all, Chloe loves eating them.
"Oh, I’m going up to take a shower, then I’ll come down," Chloe Grant responded vaguely.
Chloe Grant went back upstairs to her room but didn’t really take a shower, she was just playing games.
It was just an excuse in the first place.
Only when Isabella Gray urged her to come downstairs did she reluctantly stop her game and leave the room.
As luck would have it...
As soon as she went downstairs, she discovered Matthew Morgan walking in from outside!
Chloe Grant stopped at the top of the stairs, her eyes wide open!
She never expected that Matthew Morgan, who she thought would be on a business trip for several days, would return so suddenly!
And face to face with her!
At this moment, he was travel-worn, casually removing his coat, unbuckling his tie and shirt buttons.
He inadvertently glanced upward, just in time to meet Chloe Grant’s gaze from the top of the stairs.
In that second, Chloe Grant’s heart went wild, beating uncontrollably.
In her mind, the image of Matthew Morgan pushing her against the wall and kissing her came crashing in, making her heart race, and even her breath catch!
Chloe Grant almost instinctively turned around the second she realized, quickly trying to run back to her room...
"Chloe, what are you going back to your room for, the Little Dragon shrimp is almost done." Isabella Gray called from the living room to Chloe Grant on the stairs.
Chloe Grant, with her back to the downstairs, almost wanted to cry.
Little Dragon shrimp... oh, the pain!
A panic, why did you have to come back now?
"I’m going to take a shower!" Chloe Grant used the excuse again.
Facing Uncle Morgan with her usual demeanor, she really didn’t have the courage right now...
Actually, she didn’t have much courage facing him even on normal days.
"Another shower?" Isabella Gray was puzzled.
What’s wrong with Chloe today?
"Yes, I forgot earlier." Chloe Grant replied, quickly heading to her room.
While walking, she clearly felt footsteps behind her.
She didn’t turn around, too cowardly to see if Matthew Morgan was following her.
Chloe Grant kept quickening her pace, returned to her room, and swiftly closed the door, finally feeling a little relaxed with her trembling heart.
Her hand, however, couldn’t help but touch her lips...
The warmth from Matthew Morgan’s kiss seemed to linger there, warm and moist, slick and smooth...
Chloe Grant suddenly screamed, slapping her own face, wondering what kind of nonsense she was thinking about!
Matthew Morgan indeed followed Chloe Grant upstairs.
He returned to his room, habitually placing his coat on the sofa, took off his tie and put it aside, and walked toward the bathroom.
His expression wasn’t good.
When he had met Chloe Grant’s gaze earlier, her evasion, fear, and panic were all evident in her eyes.
Although he had long anticipated that Chloe Grant would have such a reaction.
