Chloe Grant stared absentmindedly at the cold dishes on the table.
Matthew Morgan had already placed her on the chair, and he squatted in front of her, reaching out to grab Chloe Grant's right hand.
Originally lost in thought, Chloe Grant suddenly felt a sharp pain in her arm, exclaimed, and turned her head just in time to meet Matthew Morgan's gaze.
Startled, Chloe Grant hurriedly lowered her head.
She didn't even dare to pull her hand back.
She was very afraid of him.
Matthew Morgan slightly furrowed his brow and had already let go of Chloe Grant's right hand, speaking, "Does it hurt?"
Chloe Grant quickly shook her head, "It's, it's okay..."
After saying this, Matthew Morgan did not respond to Chloe Grant.
And Chloe Grant did not know what to say.
Matthew Morgan had such a strong presence, and he was very cold. Every time Chloe Grant was alone with him, she felt nervous.
It was a fear that originated deep within her soul.
She only wanted to escape...
"I... I need to ask Lucas something," Chloe Grant said anxiously, then hurriedly stood up from her seat and walked towards the door of the room.
After taking a few steps, as if remembering something, she turned back and bowed to Matthew Morgan, "Uncle Morgan, thank you, and I'm very sorry for bothering you."
Matthew Morgan hated trouble the most.
After Chloe Grant finished speaking, she stood up and walked out of the room.
And she didn't dare to look at Matthew Morgan's expression at that moment.
He remained squatting on the ground, in front of an empty seat, with his hand frozen mid-air.
If judging by Chloe Grant's sitting height just now, Matthew Morgan's hand frozen in mid-air was just right for patting Chloe Grant's head.
After a long while, Matthew Morgan's frozen fingers moved slightly, then dropped down, and he got up from the ground.
He grabbed the pack of cigarettes Lucas had left on the table, took one out, put it in his mouth, lowered his head, and lit it.
As smoke rose, he half-closed his eyes, took a hard drag, and white smoke slowly exhaled from his mouth and nose, enveloping his handsome face.
Under the thin white mist, his beautiful lips seemed to curl into a slight arc.
Very slight, but it wasn't a smile, more so a hint of mockery.
After leaving the room, Chloe Grant went to the restroom.
Although the situation was very unpleasant, making her wish she would never see Lily Grant and Lucas again in this lifetime.
She couldn't bear to not see Lucas.
Besides, about what happened yesterday, she couldn't just believe what Lily said. She had to confront Lucas personally to get the truth before she could rest!
But when Chloe Grant arrived at the restroom, Lucas and Lily had already left. After asking the hotel staff, Chloe Grant rushed out of the hotel.
Once outside, Chloe Grant looked around and finally saw Lucas and Lily in the direction to the right.
The valet had already brought around Lucas's car, and Lucas was leaning down, opening the car door for Lily.
At the same time, he carefully used his hand to protect the top of the door, preventing Lily from hitting her head.
Chloe Grant always knew Lucas seemed very carefree, but was actually a very gentlemanly and attentive person.
However, watching him be so considerate towards another woman, Chloe Grant only felt intense pain.
She closed her eyes, forced herself to endure it, then opened her eyes again and shouted, "Lucas."
They weren't far apart, so Chloe Grant's call was very clearly heard by Lucas and Lily, who was about to get into the car.
Both of them turned their heads simultaneously.
