"I apologize for the abruptness." After asking, Mrs. Chambers also felt that she was being too blunt,
"Did I scared you?"
Sean shook his head and looked at Mrs. Chambers seriously, "Was it that obvious?"
For a moment, Mrs. Chambers didn't know what he meant. She paused for a second and said, "You, do
you really like my daughter Chloe?"
Sean scratched his head and acted like he's embarrassed, "Is it very ridiculous?”
Mrs. Chambers quickly waved her hand and said, "No, no. I'm not that old-fashioned. At this kind of
age, you and Chloe should be having a relationship already by now.”
Sean had been single. As for Chloe, she was too picky, therefore she never had a boyfriend before too.
Mrs. Chambers didn't feel abrupt about Sean suddenly expressed his feelings today. Instead, she felt
that this was fate for the two of them.
Sean didn't expect that Mrs. Chambers would be so supportive of him and Chloe to be together.
Did she not know that Eddie wanted Chloe to marry Matthew?
Mrs. Chambers smiled, "Chloe is upstairs. You can go find her yourself, you already knew where her
room is anyway."
Eddie didn't tell his wife regarding this because he felt that she didn't have to know about it. However,
Mrs. Chambers was aware of this matter.
Eddie didn't tell her, and neither did Chloe. She actually heard it when Chloe was talking about it to
Eddie.
But she didn't want Chloe to marry Matthew.
Eddie proclaimed that marrying Chloe to Matthew was for the good of the Chambers family, but Mrs.
Chambers knew that he had something else in his mind.
Eddie had hidden this secret deep in his heart.
However, she had been in a relationship with him for so many years, so how could she not notice what
was on her husband's mind?
Sean was dazed. He didn't expect that Mrs. Chambers would be so open-minded and voluntarily let
him go and find Chloe in her room.
“I…”
Sean was not sure if Mrs. Chambers was probing him, or if she was being sincere about it.
"Look at you. I've been watching you grow up since you were a child, how could I not believe in you?"
Mrs. Chambers smiled and spoke.
Sean nodded, "Then I'm going to find Chloe."
Mrs. Chambers waved her hand. She watched Sean as he went upstairs, and a slight flicker flashed
through her eyes. She's not going to let Eddie entrust her daughter to Matthew.
She was thinking of a way to stop Eddie, and Sean appeared at the right time.
As Sean walked to the second floor, he inadvertently glimpsed at Mrs. Chambers. Their families had
good relationships, and they often visit each other. In his impression, Mrs. Chambers was a virtuous
wife. However, she and Eddie didn't look like they were very close, but they were at least courteous to
each other.
Mrs. Chambers would never refuse Eddie's request. Therefore, since she voluntarily allowed him to get
in touch with Chloe, she mustn't have known that Eddie actually wanted Chloe to marry Matthew.
After all, this matter was not a done deal yet. Eddie and Jeffery probably wouldn't go around and let
everyone know about this.
Perhaps Eddie wanted to wait until things were finalized before tell her about it.
But it was fortunate for him that Mrs. Chambers didn't know about it. Otherwise, it would be hard for
him to get a chance to approach Chloe.
Sean knocked on the door as he reached Chloe's bedroom door.
Because Eddie didn't allow her to go out, Chloe was still in her bed wearing pajamas. She didn't move
and laid on the bed, while her slender and fair legs were folded against each other.
Her nightgown only reached the root of her thighs, which was just enough to cover her private areas.
She swayed her legs in the air, while she rested her head at the side of the bed, letting her long and
straight hair slid down from the bed.
Usually, Mrs. Chambers would send her fruits at this timing, and there were no outsiders in the house,
so she acted casually. While looking at her mobile phone, she said, "Come in."
Creak…
The door was slightly pushed open. Chloe still didn't look at the person who opened the door, and her
gaze was fixed on her phone screen, "Mum, do we still have any pineapples at home?"
She suddenly wanted to eat something sweet and sour. The weather was getting warm, and it would be
even nicer if the pineapples were iced.
Sean stood by the door, didn't say anything, and watched her swaying legs. He just leaned by the door
in silence while watching her.
The two of them grew up together, and they were familiar with each other. Therefore, when the two of
them grew up, he had never attentively observed her before.
Even though he couldn't see her face clearly, but Sean knew that she was not the same little girl who
used to follow him around anymore.
After a long while, Chloe didn't get her mum's reply. She frowned and asked, "Mum?"
And as she asked, she tilted her head and looked towards her bedroom door.
Her head was rested at the edge of the bed. Therefore, when she tilted her head and looked towards
the door, she found that it was not her mother. Even though Sean's figure was upside down in her
vision, she quickly reacted, hurriedly rolled over, and covered her thighs with her nightgown. She said
in a panic, "You, why are you here?"
Sean leaned against the door, smiled, and said, "Isn't it too late to cover your thighs now? I've been
watching you for half a day..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Chloe threw a pillow at him, "Go away!"
Sean didn't dodge. He caught the pillow and continued watching her, "I didn't realize it before, but you
are actually quite pretty."
Naturally, Chloe was very happy when she was complimented for her beauty. There would be no
women who did not like to be complimented by men.
She held her head high up, "You only found out now?"
Sean held the pillow and looked at her delicate face carefully, thought for a while, then softly replied to
her with a hum.
Chloe combed her long hair and tidied up her pajamas. She wore a piece of pinkish-grey-colored
pajamas with slings inside. On the outside, she wore another long sleeve silk robe, and because she
didn't tighten her sash, the robe was loosely draped on her shoulders, exposing her naked neck and
collarbones.
As Sean cast her gaze over to her neck, Chloe hurriedly tightened her robe and tied her sash on her
waist, "Why are you looking at me like this. Are you having some improper thoughts now?"
She came down from the bed and walked in front of Sean. She seemed like she was in a good mood,
smiled, and said, "But too bad, my heart belongs to another person."
