“Yep” Kelvin replied offhandedly as he gazed out the window, an ominous look-like had gotten his way– flashed across his eyes briefly.
After casting his thoughts back to that night, he felt that he had come to a breakthrough. However, he needed some time to confirm things for himself. He initially thought that things would proceed smoothly, but Chloe had been evading him after yesterday's event. He realized that he still had to find a good excuse for this, and Aiden was the perfect decoy.
Since that day, Kelvin would frequently bring his son over as they come knocking at Chloe's door. He would also bring Chloe and Audrey to his place during the weekends. Occasionally, the pair would also have a picnic at the park or visit the theme parks for a day of fun. As time went by, they got along better.
Naturally, Chloe thought that her cooking skills were what is drawing the attention of the father and son p
“Its the crazy woman–” “Its the damned jerk–” Both of them practically at the same time, and David's deep voice mixed with Claire's lighter one. Chloe pulled Claire back, but the flame of anger was already burning in Claire's eyes. “Hey, what are you doing?” “It's him” Claire pointed at David.“ The hoodlum I was talking about back at the security is him”. “Who are you calling a hoodlum? ” David stomped his foot while ducking behind Kelvin, his face had turned red.“You beat me into a pulp, you are psycho! Just wait until my lawyer sends that legal letter to you. I'm gonna make sure that I don't forget your name Claire Medley, is it?” Green and purple patches were visible across David's face. His gorgeous eyes were now blackened from the bruises by his earlier beating. Even Chloe–who was used to Claire's violent action– couldn
Chloe came back from drying the clothes on the balcony and she caught sight of Claire still sitting on the couch. “Why aren't you done with your sheet mask? It's drying up” She said. “That's not important ” Claire's hands were folded as she sat straight up.“ Come here and take a seat". .“What for?” Chloe was amused by Claire's seriousness. “What kind of prank are you pulling on me in the dead of the night?” “What is this?” Claire pulled out a large, red innovation card and placed it on the coffee table. She had dug the invitation out from under the table when she saw the text earlier; it was buried under a stack of newspapers and magazines. From the looks of it, Chloe had received the card a while back. The stark red of the card was somehow harsh on the eyes, making Chloe frown. “Where did you get that?” “I found it under the pile of magaz
Maddie let out a giggle as she caressed her gown.“ I guess it's alright. What's 200,000 anyway? No regular person can hire this designer, though”. Gabriel was neglected in the corner as this went on, growing more irate by the minute as Maddie continue to talk. With that, he simply left the dressing room and headed out into the corridor, lighting a cigarette as he walked. He glanced over the banisters in boredom to observe the merriment one flour down, looking as though he was an outsider observer instead. “It's your wedding anniversary party today, Why do you look so glum?” asked Aidan Smith, who was Gabriel's best friend. He playfully slipped an arm around his shoulders.“Don't tell me you're having regrets about it. Are you ” Gabriel flipped away some cigarette ash, his expression tired. “Will you believe me if I say yes?” Aidan's expression stiffened. &
“Kelvin” Both Maddie and Brendan's expressions had taken a turn. They had initially plotted together to make a scene and humiliate her in front of everyone. After all, Maddie did personally hear Ariana say that she was going to marry Kelvin. That also meant that Chloe was lying when Brendan overheard her talking about her relationship with Kelvin. Neither woman had imagined that Kelvin would make an appearance. “You're the CEO of Clifford corporations, Mr. Kelvin Clifford?” Brendan's expression was aghast as she asked to confirm, unable to help her curiosity. Kelvin's demeanor was chilly indeed. “Do I have to show you my ID?" “That wasn't what I meant” Brendan hastily shook her head. “I'm not interested in what you're implying, but I would like to know exactly why you were about to hit my fiancee in front of everyone here,” Kelvin sa
“Hey, I remember you .let's have a drink ”. “Wha are you talking about? ” Kelvin grumbled as he snatch glass away from her and immediately flung it on a nearby table. With one arm around her waist, he smacked her face lightly. “Chloe, are you still there?” He had only been away for a short while, but she had already drunk herself into this current state. Does she have any brains? “I'm not drunk. Come on, drink” Chloe stretched her arms out and attempted to break free, but she had only wriggled around for a bit before completely sinking limply into his arm. She's completely lost control of her sense due to too much drinking. Kelvin's anger dissipated slightly as he looked at her red face in his embrace. Nonetheless, he was still angry and a little exasperated. He scooped her up into a princess took her away from the
No way!! She Yanked the bed sheet to cover her chest. What the hell did I do last night? The sound of water in the bathroom stopped abruptly. A while later, a slightly wet hand pulled the door open and Kelvin– with a towel wrapped around his waist–came out from the bathroom while toweling bus hair dry as if nothing had happened. After taking a few steps as though he didn't hear the screaming just now, he finally saw Chloe sitting up on the bed. As their eyes met, the memories of how they had spent the night before with all-consuming passion came to mind. Chloe curled her lips to give an awkward smile.“ S-Something happened between You and I.... right?” “Cant you sense that yourself?” Kelvin replied as he hung the towel over his shoulders. The neatly packed and on his abdomen visibly contracted and relaxed as she moved about. “Don't come o
Chloe received a warm welcome from Audrey when she reached home. “You're home, at last, mommy! We're you happy last night?”. Chloe knew that Audrey couldn't possibly be aware of the stuff between men and women at such a young age, but she couldn't help giving the young kid a noogie. “Why should I be happy? Who told you egg Aiden's dad on to look for me at the anniversary party”. Rubbing her head in pain, Audrey pouted her lips and argued, “It wasn't me who proposed that; Aiden and godmother were the ones responsible. Godmother even said that Mr. Kelvin would be a hero saving a maiden in distress by doing so”. “Are you blaming whoever is absent?” Chloe shot her a glare while pouring herself some water to drink by the table. She asked casually, ”What else did your godmother say?” “Godmother said that the story of a hero saving a lady in distress always ends
Chloe felt a little agitated after meeting her father. Luckily, the construction work in the afternoon had ended, and it wouldn't resume at night to avoid disturbing the guests upstairs while they were resting. Walking out of Grandex hotel with her pack ag on her back, she raised her wrist to check the time. As she was lost in thought she suddenly remembered that she was so busy that she had forgotten to pick up Audrey. She hailed a taxi, ”Go to Bethel kindergarten, please ”. On the way to the kindergarten, she called Sandra, the kindergarten's helper “Someone has picked her up?.” She exclaimed while sitting in the taxi.“Who picked her up?” Sandra's voice could be heard over the phone as she explained nervously.“Mr. Kelvin picked her up. I thought you were on good terms with Aiden's father, and you two often pick up each other's children, so we handed over Audrey to him when he offered to
