Inside the car, Chloe Grant was sitting in the passenger seat, while Matthew Morgan was driving, and the car was already on the road.
He hadn’t spoken from start to finish, just focused on driving.
Chloe instinctively leaned her body against the car door, creating a subconscious distance from Matthew.
Halfway through the drive, Matthew suddenly spoke, "Come to the company with me tomorrow."
For the first few seconds after he said this, Chloe didn’t react, but then she realized what he meant and was taken aback, "Go, go go... go to the company with you? Isn’t... that inappropriate?"
"You don’t have classes tomorrow," Matthew responded.
"Yeah, no classes." But what does that have to do with going to the company with him?
The car turned a corner, Matthew looked back and glanced at her, his tone calm, "I told you, during this time, stay under my watch."
"I can manage to not leave the house all day," Chloe said without thinking.
Anyway, she really didn’t want to be under Matthew’s watch!
She originally didn’t want to face him, and now being in this situation was exhausting for Chloe.
"It’s not safe at home," he replied.
"Then I’ll go to Grandpa Morgan’s estate."
"They’re on a trip, there’s no one else at the estate."
"Then I’ll go back to the Grant family."
"Too crowded and chaotic."
"Then I’ll just stay at school."
Finally, Matthew lost patience and gave Chloe a look, letting her figure it out herself.
Chloe was on the verge of tears!
The more she wanted to avoid, the more they got tied together!
In the end, Chloe lost the desire to speak, turned her head the other way, and simply stopped talking.
She was silent, and naturally, Matthew wouldn’t initiate conversation; the car was quiet again until they returned to the villa.
Matthew let Chloe choose whether to go to her own villa or his.
The answer was obvious, Chloe would definitely choose the former!
However, to Chloe’s horror...
"You want to be in my room?"
Is he joking with her?
Already being in the same villa was complicated enough, and now in the same room?
Chloe instinctively hugged herself and stepped back, full of vigilance, "I... I’m not that kind of person... before, that was just an accident. I’m really not like that, I can’t accept being with you..."
Chloe was flustered, so her words were a bit incoherent.
Yet Matthew’s expression darkened at her words.
But he appeared calm, "I’ll sleep on the sofa."
With that simple statement, he walked directly toward the sofa, and soon lay down and closed his eyes.
Chloe stood in place, and at that moment... she didn’t know what she was feeling.
But ultimately, it was unpleasant.
She glanced at Matthew on the sofa, pursed her lips, and finally withdrew her gaze.
Never mind him, as long as they’re not sharing a bed it’s fine...
Is it really okay to let him sleep on the sofa?
"Why... insist on sharing a room?" Finally, Chloe couldn’t help but ask.
He, who had always been a golden boy, sleeping on the sofa was really too much of a compromise.
And with those long legs, there’s no place to put them.
"If something happens, I’ll know immediately." Matthew answered with his eyes closed.
Chloe instinctively bit her lip.
You don’t have to care about me so much.
Chloe looked up at Matthew, but in the end, she couldn’t bring herself to say the words in her heart.
She turned around to leave, but after two steps, she couldn’t stop thinking about the image of Matthew lying on the sofa.
