As Matthew Morgan turned around, Chloe Grant suddenly grabbed his hand, and then her entire body fell out of the bathtub.
Matthew Morgan instinctively held her!
The towel on her body fell as well, the orange dress clinging to her, almost useless...
Matthew Morgan frowned!
Chloe Grant kept struggling in his arms...
Matthew Morgan didn’t hesitate to lift her up directly, pinning her against the wall behind the bathtub, and with that action, the showerhead at the top sprayed water, drenching them both.
"It’s not that I don’t want to touch you, it’s that I can’t bear to!"
He couldn’t bear to see her bewilderment and pain when she woke up.
He couldn’t bear to let her feel disappointment, regret, or suffering.
For all these years, she had always been nestled at his heart, in a place no one could shake.
As long as it was about her, he would brave any danger, without complaint or regret.
Even knowing she loved someone else, he would rather for her happiness, attribute everything he had done for her to another.
As long as she was happy, and smiling at that moment.
Then, even if he is beyond redemption, what does it matter?
Matthew Morgan kept caressing Chloe Grant’s face, "Do you know, my life’s entire meaning is just to see you happy."
He suddenly lowered his head and kissed her lips.
The water continued to pour from the showerhead, drenching the two of them locked in an embrace.
There’s a sentence in the Japanese author Thomas Eastfield’s novel "The Devotion of Suspect X" that moved the whole world: Sometimes just living well is enough to save someone.
For Matthew Morgan, he was the one being saved.
And Chloe Grant... she was the one just living happily every day.
He reached out and lifted her out of the bathtub, kissing her all the way to the bed.
He propped up his body, looking at the person beneath him, devoid of any reason.
What kind of person is Matthew Morgan?
Outside opinions are: abstinent, cold, ruthless!
In the business world, he could be ruthless and resolute.
He might, out of boredom, bring his opponents to ruin or make an obscure person famous overnight...
The fate of many lies within his whims.
And he has never shown mercy to anyone.
By traditional standards, he is not a good person.
Chloe Grant is the only speck of kindness within someone like him.
And, ever since he knew Chloe Grant was infatuated with Lucas, he placed himself in darkness.
He could keep his profound feelings, growing old in solitude.
He could even watch her, sharing deep affection with another.
Every time he sees her, the urge to claim her by his side arises, yet he still wants to see her.
Perhaps, he might lose control.
Or perhaps, he might go insane.
But... he is willing.
"Chloe, after you wake up, can I take you to the Y country?"
His voice was intensely hoarse, but in Chloe Grant’s ears at this moment, it was the most beautiful melody.
She nodded without any sense of reason.
"Chloe, I will take it seriously, I will take it seriously..."
And she, had long lost all reason...
