"I’ll take a shower too. After a long day at work, I want to change clothes. I was in a hurry to co here earlier, so I didn’t have ti."
Chloe Grant found an excuse and ran upstairs.
More than anything, it was an unconscious escape.
Chloe kept telling herself not to think too much about the child, even though he was a part of the past.
But...
As the feelings grew stronger, she realized how naive her thoughts were.
She couldn’t truly manage not to ask anything or not to care about anything.
As she went upstairs, Lucas Morgan stopped at his room door.
The second floor of the old house always had rooms for the three of them, with everything they needed available.
"Chloe."
Lucas seed to hesitate for a mont, sighed, "Do you still care about that child?"
Chloe stopped in her tracks, a bitter smile on her lips, "I really wish I didn’t care.
After all, what I feel is all the good in him, his feelings towards . I wanted to say that the child is just a part of the past, but..."
Chloe shook her head, "But damn curiosity. I still want to know about his past, about the existence of this child. And... about the child’s mother."
Chloe said the last few sentences very softly.
The child is so innocent, it’s really the child’s mother that she cares about.
The woman beside Matthew Morgan.
"Have you asked?" Lucas asked.
"And what would asking do? Back then, he just said a word, that the child was his, without any explanation. Even if I ask more now, he won’t answer ."
Chloe shook her head, "It’s nothing, I can adjust myself. I trust him, trust his kindness and feelings for . I shouldn’t overthink things.
I’ve been childish enough, I don’t want to be too immature."
Chloe looked at Lucas with a very serious expression.
When he heard this, Lucas was very surprised, then beca truly aware... Chloe and Matthew Morgan were seriously together, the kind where they were drawing closer to each other.
The kind that wants to grow old together.
Before, Lucas always thought that Chloe was moved by Matthew’s dedication, so she accepted him.
He also thought that with Chloe’s personality, she would enjoy Matthew’s dedication and pampering.
But...
Today, Chloe’s last sentence shocked him.
He never thought Chloe would seriously want to get closer to Matthew Morgan.
There was a twelve-year gap between them.
She knew she wasn’t a mature and gentle woman, but she tried hard to be sensible.
Swallowing her grievances.
"Chloe..." Lucas felt heartbroken seeing her like this.
But Chloe just smiled and shook her head, "I have to trust him."
"He’s already working so hard every day, I need to be a bit more sensible, a bit more considerate."
She smiled strongly, then headed to her room.
But when she was alone, hiding in the bathroom to shower, she cried secretly, feeling a bit wronged, also a bit hurt.
After crying, she cleaned herself up, wrapped in a towel, and walked out of the bathroom.
Just as she was about to go to the closet to change clothes, she suddenly found Matthew Morgan sitting on her bed.
"You..."
Chloe was still surprised, but Matthew had already stood up, grabbed her waist, and turned, throwing them both onto the bed.
The towel wrapped around Chloe was already quite loose, and with this movent, it slipped off, revealing her fair skin...
