Chloe Grant wanted to speak up, but when she moved her lips, she didn’t know what to say.
After about ten seconds of silence, she finally summoned the courage, "Uncle Morgan... I know everything that happened before..."
She spoke very softly, not even daring to meet Matthew Morgan’s gaze, her heart racing.
At this moment, Matthew Morgan’s expression remained relatively calm.
He had heard the things she mumbled in her sleep yesterday, so naturally he knew that she already knew everything.
"Hmm." His response was still rather indifferent.
Chloe couldn’t tell if it was her imagination, but she felt that after Matthew responded, his expression seemed colder than before.
Was it because... he didn’t want to talk about this topic?
"Let’s have breakfast first." Matthew lightly placed his hand on Chloe Grant’s shoulder, steering her towards the dining room.
Chloe walked somewhat passively, hesitating to speak the whole way.
After arriving at the dining room, Matthew had her sit down.
Chloe didn’t move, took a deep breath, bit her lip, and began, "Uncle Morgan... I’m sorry!"
Chloe felt a slight relief; she finally said it out loud.
She looked up to face Matthew Morgan, "I’m sorry, for that car accident five years ago, I truly didn’t know the person behind it was you. I also didn’t know you suffered so much because of it, or that it left you with a hidden ailment."
"Two years ago when I found out, I wanted to apologize to you, to confess, but..." by then he had already left.
Many apologetic words couldn’t be expressed.
"You already said it yesterday."
Matthew Morgan cut off all of Chloe Grant’s subsequent words directly.
She had prepared for so long, yet he... wouldn’t let her continue.
He tapped the table, "Sit down and eat, afterwards I’ll take you back to the old house."
His tone was indifferent.
Chloe Grant was a bit surprised, "But I..."
She didn’t finish what she wanted to say.
"I already know, there’s no need to say more." Matthew Morgan answered simply, pressing Chloe Grant’s shoulders to make her sit, "Moreover..."
"The past is the past, it doesn’t need to be mentioned again."
He didn’t want to see her repent and feel guilty for something he considered an insignificant sacrifice.
His silent love wasn’t meant to make her feel guilty or to see her repent.
Matthew Morgan knew inside, next, Chloe Grant would surely say something like, "I want to be with you."
He was a proud man, and he wanted a pure love.
If one day, Chloe Grant chose to be with him, but not out of her deep love for him, then... he would rather lose her.
He was fixated on love to the point he couldn’t accept any lack of it.
"Eat." Matthew Morgan stared at Chloe Grant, his tone domineering.
Even though Chloe Grant had more to say in her heart, she couldn’t say a word at this moment.
When he was domineering, he wouldn’t allow any bit of resistance.
Chloe Grant lowered her head to eat, feeling a bit unhappy.
Uncle Morgan, I actually do like you.
But this liking, born from being moved, whether it’s love... she didn’t know.
However, Chloe Grant felt it was not that important anymore.
She wanted to be with him... that was certain. Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹⟡𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⟡𝙣𝙚𝙩
Yet now, Chloe Grant found herself utterly unable to express these thoughts.
Breakfast was eaten in relative silence.
"I’m not going back to the old house, I’ll head to the company first, I..."
"I’ve already asked for leave from your station, you don’t need to go in today."
His usual domineering self.
But Chloe Grant was confused...
