Isabella Gray had secretly made up her mind to give Chloe Grant some good nourishment over the next few days.
"Then you take a nap. I’ll go down and prepare dinner now." Isabella Gray reminded her, and emphasized once more, "You must come down for dinner, or I’ll come up to get you!"
She’s lost too much weight and must gain it back.
Chloe Grant nodded, "Okay."
Isabella Gray tucked the blanket around Chloe Grant once more before finally getting up and leaving with Mr. Morgan.
As Isabella Gray closed the door, Chloe Grant barely hesitated for a second before throwing off the blanket and heading towards the window.
Looking down, everything was as usual, the grass lush and green.
Chloe Grant even felt a moment of daze—did Matthew Morgan really jump down just now?
There was no trace of anything below.
She even had a fleeting, silly and grateful thought—could what had happened before have just been a nightmare?
However, the marks on her body kept reminding her of what had happened.
By dinner time, Chloe Grant had tidied up her room and come downstairs.
She had spent the whole afternoon trying, but she still couldn’t accept the outcome.
All along, regarding the incident of sleeping with the wrong person and losing her virginity, she kept telling herself that it happened because she acted on impulse and had to bear the consequences.
She shouldn’t be so melodramatic about crying and despairing over losing her virginity.
This should not have been melodramatic, but it certainly wasn’t indifferent.
The consequences of her mistake were truly... too heavy.
"Chloe, come over here." Isabella Gray quickly pulled Chloe Grant towards the dining room after seeing her come down the stairs.
Almost all the dishes on the dinner table were Chloe Grant’s favorites.
And this spread of dishes was the result of Isabella Gray’s hours of toil in the kitchen, personally preparing everything.
She seated Chloe Grant at the table and first had the servant bring a bowl of clear soup.
"I don’t know how much you drank yesterday, feeling today, have some light soup first, then eat," Isabella Gray murmured with concern.
Yesterday’s birthday party was not pleasant due to Lily Grant’s interruption.
Thankfully, in the end, it was completed in a fulfilling way, managing to entertain both guests and host.
"Just met with friends, so..."
As she spoke, Chloe Grant’s gaze shifted, catching sight of Matthew Morgan entering the dining room. Her hand involuntarily released the spoon, causing it to clatter into the bowl with a crisp sound, the soup splashing onto Chloe Grant’s face.
Isabella Gray hurriedly grabbed a napkin for her, "What’s got you so absent-minded? Are you feeling unwell?"
She reached out to touch Chloe Grant’s forehead.
Chloe Grant quickly shook her head, stealing a glance at Matthew Morgan who had settled at the table, hurriedly averting her gaze, and hastily said, "No, nothing... I just thought of something, I want to go..."
"No talking, you’re not going anywhere until you finish eating!" Isabella Gray sternly interrupted.
For the past week, Chloe Grant had been running off at mealtime with various excuses and reasons.
Look at her, how much weight has she lost!
Chloe Grant wanted to argue back, but Isabella Gray shot her a rare, serious glare, genuinely upset.
By now, the servants had already brought the meal to the table.
Chloe Grant felt nervous and panicked inside.
She looked down at the gleaming white rice, then stole another glance at Matthew Morgan sitting beside her...
Since his appearance, he had acted nonchalantly as if nothing had happened.
And, at that very moment, Matthew Morgan suddenly raised his eyes, casting a glance in Chloe Grant’s direction... their eyes met!
