Chloe Grant searched every room on the second floor, big and small, but didn’t see any sign of Matthew Morgan.
She thought Matthew Morgan had worked another night and ran to the study, searching inside and out again.
She even got paranoid, climbed up on the usual ladder to fetch books, and looked down from above, turning the entire study upside down.
Sadly, she never found any sign of Matthew Morgan.
He wasn’t on the second floor, so she went to the first floor.
He wasn’t on the first floor, so she went to the third floor.
He wasn’t on the third floor, so she went to the fourth floor...
This villa has a total of six floors including the rooftop, Chloe Grant searched inside and out, but just couldn’t find him.
Her heart suddenly went cold.
When she returned to the first floor, Lucas Morgan was sitting on the living room sofa watching TV.
He had showered in the bathroom before coming out.
By the time he came out, Chloe Grant had already been on the third floor, and he didn’t see her, thinking she was with Matthew Morgan somewhere...
Logically, he should have left.
Someone had silently done so much for her for so many years, and she could finally turn around and see him, there was nothing for him to do anymore.
Even so, Lucas Morgan couldn’t muster the strength to leave, ultimately staying behind as if guided by a mysterious force.
"You...?" Lucas Morgan turned his head, seeing Chloe Grant running down with sweat all over, somewhat puzzled, "Did you not see him?"
Chloe Grant shook her head, her eyes instantly reddening, "Can you call him? Does the call go through?"
As she spoke, her voice broke into a sob.
Chloe Grant started to panic...
A strong premonition loomed, one she didn’t dare to contemplate...
"Can’t find him?" Lucas Morgan frowned, stood up from the sofa, and quickly grabbed his phone to call Matthew Morgan.
"Sorry, the number you have dialed is no longer in service..."
No longer in service?
Lucas Morgan was shocked, hurriedly took the phone down, terminated the call, and checked to make sure the number was correct.
How could it be no longer in service?
"Is it also no longer in service?" Chloe Grant asked.
Earlier, when she couldn’t find him, she called Matthew Morgan, but... it was no longer in service.
If it was just turned off or temporarily unreachable, Chloe Grant wouldn’t be this flustered!
A number that’s no longer in service means he’s no longer using it!
This was a number Chloe Grant had known since she joined the Morgan family and it had always been reachable.
Even during the three years Matthew Morgan was abroad, Chloe Grant called Lucas but mistakenly dialed Matthew’s number many times, and it always connected.
Is it unreachable now?
"Does he... does he not want to see me anymore? Does he feel that, despite all he’s done for me, I still spoke harshly to him, so he blames and hates me, that’s why he refuses to see me... he never wants to see me again, is that it?"
Chloe Grant began to panic.
She had never been so flustered, her heart aching and anxious.
If he never wants to see her again for the rest of his life, what would she do?
Thinking about this question, Chloe Grant couldn’t even stand steadily. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on 𝗻𝗼𝘷𝗲𝗹•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝕟𝕖𝕥
Lucas Morgan quickly walked over from the sofa, holding both of Chloe Grant’s shoulders, comforting her, "Don’t panic, maybe there’s some issue with the number and he didn’t notice to fix it, that’s why this is happening.
I will first check at his company, maybe he went there or is on a business trip, don’t worry..."
Chloe Grant didn’t even listen to what Lucas Morgan said; at that moment, all she could think about was this person!
