When Chloe Grant’s gaze t Benjamin Grant’s, Chloe was startled.
Obviously, there was a sparkle in his eyes, "Do you really want to co back?"
His strong reaction left Chloe quite surprised.
Blinking her eyes a few tis, Chloe nodded, "Yeah..."
"Oh." Benjamin suddenly smiled, then reached out to scratch his head.
Seeing him like this, Chloe didn’t know why, but she started to smile too.
She just thought this big boy, looking down shyly, was quite attractive.
A sowhat familiar feeling.
"Ah... my books!"
Chloe was suddenly startled awake, having forgotten about the box of books she left on the back seat of the car.
She turned around and ran outside, opened the back seat, and started to move the box out.
It was heavy as hell.
The books that Molly Polis listed were just a few, but in the end...
When Chloe went to buy them, she discovered that each book Molly had recomnded was thick to an amazing degree.
Chloe tried to move it several tis but couldn’t.
"I’ll do it."
Sohow Benjamin ca out, and before Chloe could react, he already hoisted the box and walked inside.
Chloe watched his thin back, just feeling that there was a strong sense of youthfulness.
The typical first love.
Chloe suddenly thought, if there was a brother like this... forget it!
What brother!
Where is there any brother!
Originally, Chloe was in a good mood, but thinking of certain things, her mood turned sour.
Even Benjamin, who seed quite pleasing to the eye, suddenly beca an eyesore.
Chloe quickened her pace and walked inside.
Benjamin directly carried the box into Chloe’s room upstairs.
After putting it down, he quickly walked back downstairs.
"Hungry? Want to cook sothing for you?" he asked.
Chloe shook her head, "I’m not hungry. Why don’t you ask Jodie Cooper, I’m going upstairs."
She walked upstairs and then shut herself in her room.
Chloe exhaled a breath, went to take a shower, then sat down at her desk and took out the books to read.
...
In the following days, Chloe was continuously busy.
Every day it was work, study, eat, sleep.
She no longer had insomnia, sleeping every day, but becoming increasingly thin.
A week later, Isabella Gray, having not seen her, missed her dearly, so she brought things along to visit Chloe at the villa.
When she saw Chloe, Isabella was dumbstruck...
"Chloe, how did you get so thin?"
Today was Saturday, Chloe wasn’t working, so she had slept in.
Just waking up, she hadn’t combed her hair or washed up, her hair was in a ss, her face extrely pale, without a hint of color.
Isabella stood there, having only not seen Chloe for seven days, yet she felt that Chloe was not at all the Chloe she rembered.
Completely changed.
Thin and haggard.
Moreover, her whole being lacked any vitality, appearing lifeless and dreary.
"Chloe, what’s happened to you?" Isabella walked towards Chloe, took her hand, her face full of heartache and worry.
Chloe looked at Isabella and imdiately smiled, "Grandma, why are you here? I’m fine, the workload’s been a bit much these days, that’s why I look like this. I’ll be fine after resting for the weekend."
"What kind of work is tiring you out like this? Let’s quit it, and get Uncle Morgan to find you sothing easier."
Isabella didn’t care about anything else; she just heartached for her beloved granddaughter.
However, she didn’t notice that when she said the words "Uncle Morgan," Chloe’s eyes turned red instantly.
But she forced herself to smile big and wide...
So everyone, including herself, would see her as happy and relaxed, as if nothing was wrong...
