The mother still remained cold towards her.
Especially when she answered a call midway, her face turned sour, and she seemed absent-minded.
After the family dinner ended, Vann Stern took the initiative and said she needed to return to Country A urgently.
Even though Mr. Morgan and Lady Morgan tried to dissuade her, she was adamant.
In the end, because there were no flight tickets, Mr. Morgan arranged a private jet to send Vann Stern and Alex Grant back to Country A.
They did not take Chloe Grant with them.
Regarding Chloe Grant going abroad, Mr. Morgan decided right at the family dinner with one sentence, "I do not allow it. The child has her own dreams. The Morgan family can take care of her. Stay put!"
After all, he was once a powerful lord; even though he has retired due to health issues, his aura remained intense.
No one dared to oppose him.
Including Chloe Grant, the main subject of this issue!
"Chloe, are you going back to the old house tonight?" Isabella Gray asked.
"I’ll take Chloe back to the villa."
Before Chloe Grant could answer, Matthew Morgan had already replied.
She looked at Matthew Morgan, her eyes showing some dissatisfaction.
Yet he directly grabbed her wrist and led her toward the car.
Opening the passenger seat, he pushed Chloe Grant inside.
"I don’t want to go back to the villa; I want to go to school!"
After hesitating for a while, Chloe Grant finally got the words out.
Going abroad is now impossible!
The only place to avoid Matthew Morgan is at school.
Matthew Morgan leaned down, looked at Chloe Grant coldly, "I said, henceforth, I’ll pick you up and drop you off at school every day."
"I’m not a child, commuting to and from school..."
Matthew Morgan tilted his head, looking at Chloe Grant, his eyes deep, "To me, you will always be a child."
Chloe Grant was stunned...
At that moment, her mind went blank, and her gaze was absorbed by Matthew Morgan’s eyes, as deep as the universe.
Suddenly, her heart started to flutter lightly.
Not intensely, but with a tingly sensation.
At this moment, Matthew Morgan stood up, closed the car door, walked around the car, and got into the driver’s seat, driving away.
As Matthew Morgan’s car drove off, the vehicles from the old house followed behind.
Only Lucas remained, standing by the roadside, looking somewhat confused.
He took a cigarette from his pocket and, eventually, crouched by the road, smoking one after another.
In his mind, the scene of Chloe Grant being led away by Matthew Morgan played repeatedly.
After Matthew Morgan sent Chloe Grant back to the villa, he told her to wash up and go to sleep, stating he would take her to school the next day.
He acted as if nothing had happened, still the stern Uncle Morgan.
But Chloe Grant was no longer the simple, fearful little Chloe afraid of her uncle.
As she closed her door, Chloe Grant still felt unsatisfied inside.
That night, Chloe spent the first half engrossed in games, and the latter half planning an escape...
Would she really wait until sunrise for Matthew Morgan to drop her at school, only to be picked up again after classes?
As if she were an elementary school student!
Taking advantage of the early morning, Chloe decided to sneak back to school.
Of course, at this hour, the school wouldn’t be open to let her inside.
Chloe had already planned to stay near an internet café by the school, waiting for the time to attend class, and then she wouldn’t come out!
The streets were eerily quiet at two in the morning, sending chills to one’s heart.
Just as Chloe left the neighborhood, intending to cross a street to catch a ride, she never expected... while passing an alley, her arm was suddenly grabbed, and she was pulled into the alleyway...
