That night, Aoba Hoyle was getting fidgety upstairs while Chloe Malan was walking around downstairs.
Alan Hoyle had Olive Steele and Annie in his arms. They were watching Hayao Miyazaki’s Ponyo on
TV. The animation was breathtaking.
Annie watched it happily, but Olive Steele felt Chloe Malan’s unusual anxiety, “Do you have something
in mind?”
“Her heart wants what it wants. Her medicine isn’t here. You can’t help her. Let’s watch TV.” Alan Hoyle
stroked her head gently.
“Okay.” Olive Steele replied and winked.
Chloe Malan glared at Alan Hoyle. She’s like it if he would just talk less, “I’m going out for a walk. I
don’t want to stay and be your third wheel.”
“No one hates you. That one upstairs, he definitely won’t.” Alan Hoyle said as he watched her leaving.
Chloe Malan shut the door with a bang.
“Do you think she goes to find your little brother?” Olive Steele asked.
Now, no one could make Chloe Malan upset other than Aoba Hoyle, but she just wouldn’t admit it.
“She won’t. Aoba will and she won’t be able to escape him. Once a Hoyle dotes on woman, it’s hard to
let go.”
As expected, at twelve o’clock, Aoba Hoyle knocked on the door. At this time, Mr. and Mrs. Steele and
Annie had gone to bed. Olive Steele opened the door and saw a man with a bad complexion.
“Sister-in-law, is Chloe here?”
“She hasn’t returned after going out for three hours. I was about to call her to ask when she’s coming
back.”
“You’re not lying, right?”
“If you don’t believe me, you can come in and check it for yourself.” Olive Steele smiled. It seemed that
they were going to have a midnight talk.
“Very well. I won’t disturb you. I’ll go find her.” Aoba Hoyle turned around and left without entering the
house.
However, where could he find her? Her phone was off. He tried calling her several times in arrow, but
she wouldn’t pick up. She played him and disappeared.
She could hide for a while, but she couldn’t do that for a lifetime. A monk could run away, but he
couldn’t carry the temple with him. It was impossible that she would be gone for a lifetime.
Aoba Hoyle figured this out and went back upstairs. Unexpectedly, when he saw a woman wandering
outside the door, his stopped.
He kept looking at her, the woman who made him uncomfortable, the woman who turned his heart
upside down, “I thought you were hiding.”
“Do you think I can do that?” she asked back.
She knew she couldn’t escape his entanglement not his inner desire. It seemed that she was revealed
to the reality and found that her resistance was nothing but her fear of unknown future.
When did she become a coward?
She sat on the bench and thought for a while. She hesitated when she came up, but the moment she
saw him, she felt that it was settled.
He approached her slowly. Two steps felt like a lifetime. It was so long that he felt he was under
illusion. How could a woman who always like to hide from him and make a snarky remarks stand there
so quietly?
It was not until his fingers touched her face that his heart settled.
He kissed her. She didn’t dodge and he was happy about it. In the past, whenever women resisted him,
he felt that they refused to return, but if one of that women was her, he would sink into abyss. It was
nice that she let him kiss her quietly.
Suddenly, his phone rang. He grabbed it and picked it up, “Sister-in-law, Chloe will stay with me
tonight.”
After that, he hung up and opened the door. He pushed her inside and pinned her body to the wall.
She always called him a bad man. At that very moment, his body exuded a strong aura and he stared
at her ever so dangerously. She was afraid
She tried to push him away, but when she flinched, he held her in his arms and kissed her fiercely.
She could taste mint in his mouth. He was playing the dominant and she couldn’t resist.
Chloe Malan always wondered if he wanted to devour her. Her mind went blank. The only thing she
could process was that he had a strong masculine taste. It made her heart beat faster. She couldn’t
only give in now.
He didn’t let go of her lips until he kissed her enough, but still, he held her tightly.
They could hear each other’s breath and saw their shadows in each other’s eyes. She saw the blurry
look in his eye and her face blushed red.
He kissed her forehead, “Little Chloe, do you love me?”
“I don’t know.”
This answer disappointed him, but it was better that her old answer that goes she wouldn’t love him
until her death.
It was a great progress. He smiled, “It doesn’t matter. I will love you the same, as you as you’re willing
to.”
As long as there was chance, hope would exist.
Moreover, women changed their mind a lot.
“Let me go.” she said.
“I don’t want to. What are you going to do?”
“You’re hurting me.”
He let go and giggled.
Chloe Malan despised him. She pushed him away and rewarded him an ugly word, “Idiot.”
She couldn’t figure it out too. How could she was moved by this idiot? Even her own feeling, she didn’t
have a thorough comprehension about it.
She might as well just let it be, submit to it even. Perhaps, after this, she really couldn’t afford to love
again.
She sat down on the sofa and motioned him to sit down, “Let’s talk.”
“Talk about what?” he wanted to sit with her, but he was afraid of the seriousness in her eyes. He could
do nothing about it, so he did as told. She was three years older than him.
Chloe Malan didn’t beat around the bush either, “There is something I need to tell you first, it’s not
pretty. If you can accept it, we can begin. I don’t want to waste time.”
“Go on. I’m all ears.” he replied.
“I don’t need to remind you to the fact that your mother doesn’t like me. If I can piss her off for the first
time, it’s possible that I can do that for the second and third time. I don’t want to be wronged for your
sake. I will not provoke her, but if it is unlikely for me to coexist with her, I will not please her for you.”
“I apologize to what my mother did to you.” he said sincerely.
Chloe Malan said faintly, “No, she is her, you are you. I don’t expect you to stand by my side
completely, but I hope you can rational.”
