The hand that had been tightly grasping slowly loosened, placed in front of her desk. Her nervous hands clutched each other, and after lowering her eyes, she looked up again with an innocent, aggrieved expression, looking at Chloe Grant, "But, but I really like him. He’s too good to me, I can’t give up..."
Chloe Grant sneered inwardly.
Truly, when you’ve seen through someone, yet they still treat you like a fool, acting in front of you, only then do you realize how ridiculous it is.
Just how foolish you were before.
"Knock, knock." The door was knocked, and the server came to deliver the dishes.
Chloe Grant and Lily Grant didn’t exchange another word, watching the server place dish after dish on the table, filling the rectangular table.
When the last dish was set down, the server collected the plates and bowed, saying, "Please enjoy."
After the server left, Lily Grant looked at the table full of dishes, her eyes shining as she spoke, "Chlo—Chloe, why did you order so much today, and they’re all..." so expensive.
"To apologize." Chloe Grant sighed.
Lily Grant looked up, surprised at her.
Chloe Grant exhaled, shrugged, and with a warm smile began to speak, "Regarding what happened the other day at the hotel, I’m very sorry. I was too impulsive."
Lily Grant looked up in astonishment, truly surprised.
She never expected that Chloe Grant would come today to apologize, leaving her stunned for a moment, unable to respond.
Chloe Grant smiled, continuing, "I was too domineering and self-assured. I thought that with ten years of feelings with Lucas Morgan, he had to be with me. But in fact, he has his own choices as well.
She paused, looking at Lily Grant, "You’re simply using your own way to make him like you. This time, I concede."
"Chloe..." Lily Grant looked at Chloe Grant, not knowing what to say.
Chloe Grant shook her head, not needing her to say anything.
"You and I have actually been together longer than with Lucas Morgan. With Lucas Morgan, it’s ten years, but with you, it’s been a full twenty years. I remember we were even born on the same day, I was just about five hours earlier, so I became the elder sister."
"Yes." Lily Grant nodded, "My mom said that when we were kids in the hospital, the doctors even said we looked alike, sometimes when we bathed together, they mixed us up."
Chloe Grant’s words took Lily Grant back to their past memories.
Thinking about these over twenty years, the two of them have been like real sisters, studying together, eating together, doing everything together, in truth, they were closer than actual sisters.
"Yeah, with such a good relationship, how could it just end like that?" Chloe Grant lamented.
Lily Grant’s eyes immediately lit up with joy, and she couldn’t suppress a smile on her face, looking at Chloe Grant excitedly, "Chloe, do you think, we can still be good sisters like before?"
Chloe Grant didn’t respond, just blinked, and Lily Grant took it as consent.
She let out a sigh of relief, "Chloe, you don’t know how excited I am now, how moved I am, you just don’t know, I..."
"I really feel so lucky to have met you, and then to have met Lucas. Heaven has truly been so, so good to me!"
"Yes, heaven has been especially good to you. I will be, too, especially good to you." Chloe Grant smiled in response.
At the same time, she stood up from her seat and said simply, "I’m going to the restroom first."
