Some say, if you love someone, you should do everything you can to capture and possess them.
The more prideful a person is, the stronger their desire for possession when faced with love.
I would rather destroy you than lose you.
For Matthew Morgan, loving someone... is simply wanting to see them still able to smile in this world, and that’s enough.
When Chloe Grant hung up the phone, Matthew Morgan put down his and turned it off, tossing it into the nearby trash can as he stood up to leave.
The next day, the sleepless Chloe Grant got up to have breakfast with Isabella Gray.
"Lucas, can you and your brother not make me worry !"
In the morning, Isabella Gray expressed her displeasure with Lucas multiple times.
Lucas hadn’t said much all morning; he frequently looked up to see Chloe, who was silently eating breakfast... he glanced at her, then immediately lowered his head to continue eating.
Mr. Morgan was not present, and Isabella Gray seemed to be in a bad mood about something, so she didn’t notice Lucas’s little actions.
"You and your brother are simply..." Isabella Gray complained, clearly troubled.
"What happened to Uncle Morgan?"
Chloe Grant, who had been eating with her head down, suddenly looked up.
This was the first time she had actively shown concern among all the things Isabella Gray had mentioned while having breakfast that morning.
Lucas was surprised and glanced at her.
"I originally thought he would have a good outcome with the Fraser family’s young lady, but who knew he would tell me there’s nothing between them! Isn’t that maddening!
The Fraser young lady is quite charming, has good emotional intelligence, and is very pleasant to be with. How can he still be dissatisfied?"
Isabella Gray couldn’t comprehend this.
Good emotional intelligence?
Regarding Sophia Fraser, Chloe Grant felt that the phrase wasn’t particularly accurate to describe her.
But in front of Isabella Gray, Sophia Fraser did not display the more casual and overbearing demeanor she usually had in the dorm.
Because of this, Chloe Grant wouldn’t say anything.
She rarely, if ever, deliberately commented on someone in front of another.
Just like back then with Lily Grant; whether Isabella liked Lily or not, or whether she praised or criticized Lily in front of Chloe, Chloe never said much.
The reason for this disposition was that when Chloe was eleven, after arguing with a playmate, she kept complaining about the playmate to Lucas.
At that time, Matthew Morgan was also present and put Chloe in a dark room to reflect on what she had done wrong.
In the end, he gave her a lecture on this topic.
Because the memory of the dark room was so vivid, afterwards, even when Chloe quarreled with playmates, she didn’t complain about them to others.
Over time, it became a habit.
In others’ eyes, this was considered good manners. Dıscover more novels at 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⁂𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱
This was... the upbringing Matthew Morgan taught Chloe Grant.
"If he’s not satisfied, just find someone else. Why be angry?" Although Lucas seemed to be comforting, his tone wasn’t pleasant.
In her anger, Isabella Gray directly gave him a whack with her chopsticks.
No matter how old Lucas became, Isabella Gray never broke her habit of scolding him with her chopsticks.
"I’m not wrong! Just because you think she’s good doesn’t mean my brother does. If he doesn’t like her, then so be it." Lucas was clearly displeased about it.
Isabella Gray glared at him, "Your brother is already thirty. If he continues to be this detached, I worry he might bring me a son-in-law instead of a daughter-in-law!"
