“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

“What do you think? You think you can hide things from me and I won't find out?” Kelvin asked from behind and Chloe turn back to see him standing behind them with a file in his hands. His expression was darkened and the looks in his eyes were deadly. Seeing this sight, Davina quickly stood up from her seat and nodded at Chloe before she took a step away from there. “I'll leave you two alone,” She said as she walked out of the restaurant, leaving the two of them alone. Chloe was quivering. However, she managed to say, “Mr...Clifford?” Without saying a word, Kelvin came forward and took hold of her hand, and dragged her out of the restaurant. He took her to the car, he sent the driver out and drove the car himself. He drove the car like he was on a death mission. The sp
A few days later, Javier was still recuperating at the hospital, while Chloe was watching over him. She came out of the room to go in search of food. Just then, her eyes fell on the figure of a familiar person. “Audrey hasn’t eaten yet. You take her out to have something to eat.” Chloe entrusted Audrey to Victor, “I have an appointment with someone and I’ll be back later.” “Okay.” Victor nodded, “Chloe, who are you meeting?” Chloe paused for a moment, “Davina” In an open-air café on City Road, the iron tables and chairs had a strong French feel. The maple leaves on thebranches in early autumn overhead showed that the weather in Rave city was getting cold gradually. &
A few months later, Chloe had just returned home from the company after the day's work. The past few weeks have been a tough one for her as she had to watch over the VIP at the hotel, on top of that she got into many fights with Kelvin unprovoked. During one of the fights, she had said hurtful things to him. She even went as far as telling him off about not being interested in getting married to a person like him ahi k had greatly angered Kelvin–due to this, he has been keeping his distance from her the entire time. Both Aiden and Audrey tried to bring them back together but it wasn't working out either. Claire was not at home when she came back, while Audrey was in her room working on her homework. when she saw Chloe at the door, she shrugged her shoulders and continued working. Chloe exhaled as she went back to the kitchen to prepare dinner for them. As soon as she set the ingredients on the table, her phone suddenly rang as she quickly wiped her hands on the apron before
After tossing and turning all night, Chloe woke up at dawn the next morning. On the sofa, David was woken up by a rustling sound. He sleepily took his watch from the coffee table. “It’s only five o’clock, so early?” Chloe took her bag and prepared to go out. She looked so calm as if nothing had happened last night. “I’m going to work early. By the way, you can sleep in the guest room now.” David nodded dazedly and went to the bedroom while hugging his pillow. But when he turned, he went in the wrong direction and had entered the master bedroom. Chloe did not call him and just secretly smiled. Then, she left Claire’s house. Kelvin’s matter indeed dealt a big blow to her but she still had to continue working. She still had to plan the matter of letting her son return
David instantly shut his mouth. His voice abruptly stopped. Chloe looked back at David and her face did not look good. They were even childhood friends. Claire was livid. “You surprisingly really know. Continue saying.” Looking at the situation, if David did not say everything honestly, he would be blamed together with Kelvin. After weighing the pros and cons, David chose to temporarily switch sides. “Davina is the English name. Her name is Addison Ramirez. The Ramirez family, my family, and the Clifford family have been friends for generations. I, Kelvin, her eldest brother and, her second eldest brother are similar in age so we often play together as a child. But Kelvin is more withdrawn and he doesn’t love to bother us. Addison is young and we don’t love to take
“Listen up everyone, the president of LG Travel Agency is going to inspect our hotel this afternoon. Make sure nothing goes wrong even the tiniest details, got it?” “Got it.” Chloe just finished her all-hands meeting in the meeting room at Grandex Hotel. The headquarters took up a long-term partnership with a prestigious travel agency LG, everything else was done, what was left was the on-site inspection. The agency chose Chloe’s hotel for the inspection. As soon as the inspection passed, the contract of long-term partnership would be signed. After that, all LG Agency’s customers traveling to East China would be arranged to stay at Grandex Hotel. In the afternoon, under the scorching sun, the management team of the hotel stood at the doorway waiting for the inspection team. &nb
Surrogate 144 “This one.” David took a look around and pointed at the largest piece at the center, “I’ll take that one.” One could tell from the expression of the onlooking shop workers, that the piece was pricey. The shop owner was sophisticated enough to stay calm and asked, “Do you have any specific inquiries? Or you can give us your design if you have one.” “Not much, just one thing. It has to be special and match the vibe.” “What kind of vibe?” A worker asked cautiously. Closing his eyes, David pondered for a while and said, “Hot and spicy.” The worker twitched the corner of her mouth and looked at Kelvin as if asking for help. Frowning, Kelvin stepped sideways and put on an aloof look. &
There was dead silence in the conference room. Maddie could barely stand, holding the corner of the table and trembling. She was overwhelmed with shame and rage, wishing to have Chloe murdered. She couldn’t believe that Chloe had filmed these unpleasant scenes and also showed them to Zayn. Chloe used such a trick to threaten her, ruining her only chance to be together with Zayn. “So, do you read or not?” After a long moment, Maddie gritted her teeth, “I’ll read it.” Before leaving the conference room, Chloe unplugged the USB flash drive and brushed it off, “Besides, please let the Twilight Media and also your internet water armies delete all those nonsensical remarks from the internet. Otherwise, you bear your consequences.” &nbs
