Chapter 451: Chapter 452: How Will He Choose
Chloe Turner felt a wave of confusion, the words felt so familiar. It was still the sa tone, a simple sentence, the three words “let’s eat together,” when she was feeling disappointed or lonely, he would co to her with a lunchbox in hand.
She didn’t look up, and softly said, “I want to wash my face first.”
Chloe’s words made William Griffith sigh with relief, and the aunt happily went to prepare the al.
In no ti, Chloe freshened up, tying her hair back with a black hairband, looking more spirited. She finally walked into the living room, which was connected to the dining room, and could see William Griffith sitting there waiting. A few light and delicious dishes were set on the table, along with the fragrance of rice.
Chloe sat down in the chair opposite William Griffith, and the two ate in silence, without much conversation.
“Miss Turner, have so soup.” The aunt brought out a bowl of fish soup, happily serving her a bowl and saying, “Mr. Griffith, have a bowl too.”
Chloe took the spoon and spoke softly, “He doesn’t drink fish soup.”
“I see.” The aunt listened to her and said with a smile, “Then you two take your ti eating.”
Chloe nodded, and the aunt went into the small room to watch TV. She hunched over and drank the fish soup, but the words she had just said, if it were before, would have been very natural, but now they were not as effortless to say. Why did he suddenly co, could it be… Chloe sneakily looked at him, but his indifferent handso face showed no signs of anything unusual.
While drinking the soup, she asked, “Don’t you need to accompany Cherish today?”
“There’s no need to et every day.” William Griffith said slowly, without revealing any emotions.
They didn’t know how the al tasted, but it was the longest alti they had had in recent days, and also the most Chloe had eaten. After the al, they moved to the sofa and sat down. The aunt ca over to clean up the dishes, unable to resist saying, “Miss Turner, if only you ate that much every day.”
William Griffith lowered his eyes and calmly asked, “You usually eat very little?”
Only upon hearing his question did Chloe confirm that he wasn’t aware of her situation. She held a teacup and sipped the tea, saying, “I haven’t had much appetite lately.”
After eating, they sat quietly for a while, before William Griffith got up to leave.
Chloe escorted him to the door, and before she turned around, William Griffith said, “It doesn’t look good for a girl to be too thin, eat more.”
She replied with a “Mm-hmm,” as she watched him leave.
As he left the apartnt building and got into the car, William Griffith lit a cigarette and took irregular puffs. He seed to be pondering sothing quietly. He didn’t know how long he had been contemplating until his cell phone vibrated. A ssage ca in. Upon pressing the read button, the characters seed to transform into her soft, sticky female voice, echoing in his ear.
ssage content – William Griffith, I’m so sleepy, so I’m going to bed early. Be careful on the road when you drive. Good night.
Cherish Turner no longer asked him where he had been, or what he had done. She no longer t up so diligently, no longer ate together every day. In fact, she could guess what had happened. After all, with Chloe Turner feeling unwell and alone, it was quite sad. Cherish Turner had experienced that kind of sadness herself, so she learned to be understanding.
Understanding his once lying, understanding his every phone call being busy, understanding everyone’s youthful years. It’s just that understanding unknowingly turned into letting go, letting go of too many things.
Actually, she often wanted to ask for clarification.
For example, that awkward question.
William Griffith, did you choose to return to your sister’s side?
