The reason Chloe Grant so confidently went to Matthew Morgan’s villa is because she knew he returned last night.
At this time, it’s not yet time for him to leave for work, so Chloe is sure that Matthew is at the villa.
The door to the villa uses a password key, you can enter with either the password or a fingerprint. The rıghtful source is 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹•𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖•𝗇𝗲𝘁
Chloe knows the password to Matthew’s villa, and her fingerprint can also allow her entry directly.
As for how she knows the password and when the fingerprint was set up, Chloe doesn’t remember very clearly.
After entering the house, Chloe couldn’t help but feel nervous, causing her to walk somewhat cautiously.
It’s only a little past six now, the sky is not fully bright, and since none of the villa’s lights are on, the interior is not particularly bright.
Chloe didn’t dare to turn on the lights and just headed upstairs.
She has seldom visited Matthew’s villa before.
In the past, she didn’t dare to come, and she hated coming...
However, the three villas in this neighborhood have almost the same decor style and layout, so the master bedroom’s location is naturally the same.
So Chloe went upstairs with ease, but as she stood at the door, she became increasingly nervous.
What should she say first when she sees him?
Or how should she say it?
"No, no, don’t think about it!"
Chloe quickly shook her head, trying to shake off all these unnecessary thoughts.
She has been contemplating these questions for the past few days.
She really wants to see Matthew, but she’s afraid. The main reason is that she can’t help but think about these questions.
These questions never seem to have an answer, and as she keeps thinking about them, Chloe becomes more hesitant to come look for Matthew.
She fears awkwardness, she fears being at a loss.
Just like in these past years, she’s always been in awe of Uncle Morgan, always cowering in his presence.
But this time, she can’t cower anymore!
He has done so much for her, she can’t just continue living as if she doesn’t know anything.
That would truly be heartless.
Chloe took a deep breath, squeezed her hands, suppressed her inner nervousness, raised her hand, and knocked on the door to Matthew’s bedroom.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
The first knock was cautious, she knocked three times, then immediately put her hand down.
And then there was a long silence.
That she knocked too lightly?
Or perhaps Uncle Morgan hasn’t woken up yet, so the knock was too short, and he didn’t hear it at all?
She waited a little longer, finally taking a deep breath, and with courage, she knocked a second time.
This time it was longer and a bit louder than before.
After Chloe put her hand down, what greeted her again was a long string of silence.
Chloe furrowed her brows, could it be that Uncle Morgan was sleeping so soundly that he couldn’t hear?
She bit her lip, but eventually gathered the courage to knock a third time.
This time she even called out, "Uncle Morgan, are you awake?"
However, even with the knocking and calling, the response to Chloe was still a prolonged silence.
Chloe stood outside the door for a while, feeling a strange sensation creeping into her heart.
She waited probably two or three more minutes, then, with a mindset of giving it a try, she pushed open the door to Matthew’s bedroom...
To her surprise, the door wasn’t locked; it opened as soon as she turned the handle.
Chloe first peeked inside. The room was large, and she couldn’t directly see into the bedroom from the door.
Chloe hesitated for a moment before cautiously stepping inside.
"Uncle Morgan?" she called softly.
She had already reached the bedside; looking at the bulging quilt, Chloe took a deep breath.
She had thought... Matthew had left.
