The light was not switched on in the room. Chloe could only see a shadow sitting on the couch from the light shined from outside when she pushed the door open.
Kelvin was holding a cigarette between his fingers. He took a puff and the smoke faded into the darkness. She closed the door in hesitance and headed towards the couch. “Why did you leave so suddenly? Is it because you don’t like the wontons?”“Yes.” Kelvin gave a curt reply and it had stopped her from asking questions that she wanted to ask.
Chloe waved her hand gently to try to dissipate the cloud of smoke. Although she had been holding her breath, she still could not help but cough. Kelvin’s expression froze and he stopped smoking for a few seconds.
He then extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray, stood up, and opened the window a little to let the cold wind enter. It was raining outside the window and the stuffiness of the room was gradually alleviatedChloe felt incompetent to refuse again. After giving her WeChat for verification, the boss lady then gave a big joyful smile. How could someone think of her being the one who cheated on the Clifford family and took away the fortune? Chloe was puzzled, but she still managed to hold off her curiosity. “I’ll be off then.” Chloe served the noodles out of the pot, added some toppings, and nodded politely at the boss lady. After going upstairs and just set aside the noodles, Kelvin then came out of the bathroom, wrapped in a bathrobe. His hair was still dripping wet onto his neck, and the bathroom doorway was full of water stains. Chloe slightly felt tightness in her throat. She pulled herself together after a while and gave out a dry cough, “Have some noodles. I make them myself in the kitchen.” &nb
Kelvin Clifford concentrated and held the steering wheel tight, saying out, “Mind your own business.” Chloe Crowther could tell that he was displeased. They reached Rave city after two and a half hours. Kelvin had a meeting in the afternoon. He made a call to Dave on the way and then sent Chloe to the entrance of the hospital. Dave had been waiting for them for a long time when they reached there. “Mr. Clifford, Ms. Crowther.” Dave stood in front of the car and greeted Kelvin and Chloe. Then he mentioned the patient who was transferred to that hospital, “The patient from Cape Town has been arranged for hospitalization. But the hospital recommended to discharge him for treatment. He was being not cooperative and causing trouble during the transfer. He was then sent here after giving him a shot of sedation. Be careful, Ms. Crowther, when seeing him la
Chloe was stunned and verified, “You said that your name is Victor?” The youth raised his head from under the blanket and his face was pale. His forehead was covered with beads of sweat and struggled to nod, “Yeah.” “What’s your last name?” Chloe asked. The youth shook his head. “Forget it, don’t think about it now.” Chloe patted his shoulders as she was worried that he would be hurt if he was to recall something suddenly and she continued, “So you’re Benjamin, at least there is a name now. I’ll try to find your family.” If Victor was a student at the University campus, then it’ll be a problem because it was near to the summer holidays and the University would hardly notice if anyone was missing. She could only investigate on her own. A week later… The Bethel royal Kindergarten officially w
Kelvin became more relieved after Dave pulled Victor away. He looked at Chloe and said, “Let’s go, you’re not his mother. Dave will take good care of him.” Chloe came to her senses, looked into the room, and then rubbed her nose and smiled awkwardly, “It’s a habit. Victor is about the same age as Zayn. I miss my brother and that’s why I felt like caring for him. Perhaps others will find this strange.” It was better that she didn’t mention Zayn but once she did, Kelvin’s expression turned even darker. “Do you treat brothers and sisters as trash that you can pick up anywhere?” Kelvin scoffed. “Trash?” Chloe glared at him and demanded, “What trash? I accidentally hit Victor, how many times must I say this?” “Then what about Zayn?” Kelvin glared at her and continued, “Was he hit by you as well? Looks like you are fearless since young. To thi
Chapter 112 Ariana looked like she was anticipating such a reaction from her, and she let out a snort, “What’s that? You shameless third wheel, are you saying that a victim doesn’t have her right to voice her opinions? It would be best if Kelvin canur despicable face while he is probably thinking that you are capable and virtuous. He must be thinking that you want to become the stepmother to his son willingly! You have an illegitimate child whose father is unknown, yet you have set your eyes on somebody else’s fiancée. It is an understatement to label you as a shameless woman.” “Ms. Blake.” Chloe suddenly look a step towards Ariana and her face was darkened, “Let me warn you to watch your mouth. Do you understand human language?” Ariana was intimidated by the cold light in Chloe’s eyes. She couldn’t help taking a step back while forcing herself to respond, “What are you doing? Are you
Victor lingered in the rest room for some time and it was almost time for Chloe to get off work. She came to the rest room to get the children. “You’re here.” Chloe smiled when she saw victor, “Jenny told me that you have gone to the Higher college Mega Centre. Did you learn anything there?” Victor shook his head, “I gained some impression from that place based on what you told me, but I still can’t recall anything.” A flash of disappointment appeared in Chloe’s eyes, but she still tried to comfort Victor, “Is that so? It’s okay. The Higher college Mega Centre is not that big anyway; let’s go there together during the weekend.” Victor smiled and gave people the feeling that he wasn’t that concerned about regaining his memories and relearning his identity. “We will have dinner together tonight. I have identified the p
Surrogate:Chapter 114. “Little Aiden has a sensitive gastric and could not eat those unhygienic foods. Ms. Crowther, how could you be so irresponsible? How am I going to answer to young master?” Chloe didn’t try to explain herself to Perry's reproach but she felt very remorseful and said, “Rest assured that I will apologize personally to Mr. Clifford that it was my negligence.” When Perry saw her remorseful expression, he didn’t know what to say next. He heaved a long sigh and went to the side to make a call to Kelvin. The doctor at the emergency wardarranged for Aiden to be admitted for further observations to ascertain if it was just to stomach upset because of eating some unhygienic food or due to some other medical conditions. Aiden's condition had improved considerably after injection and had fallen asleep.
Surrogate:115 “Aiden, what did you hear just now?” Ariana’s voice was very soft and was eerie like a ghost. It was as if she personified the fears of Aiden. His face was pale and he broke out in cold sweat and was close to fainting. Finally, he shook his head. “Good boy.” Ariana raised her hand and patted his head. “Very good. You did not hear anything just now. If I find out that you mention anything to your father, I will be very angry. When I’m angry, the consequences will be terrible.” Aiden trembled in fear when shetouched Aiden’s head. He was so gripped with fear that he almost cried. At that instance, it was as if it reminded him of a distant past. His eyes were wide open and he opened his mouth several times but didn’t say a word.
