CHAPTER 250: CHAPTER 250: WHO DID IT? 10

Nervous and uneasy.

This nickname was thought up by Chloe Grant back then.

At that time, Chloe Grant would stick to Lucas Morgan every day.

He was good-looking and fun, always making Chloe Grant laugh, and ever since Chloe Grant joined the Morgan family, Lucas Morgan would give her anything he had.

So Chloe Grant was very close to him.

Matthew Morgan, on the other hand, was the complete opposite...

In terms of appearance, in his twenties, Matthew Morgan was truly at the peak of his looks. His brows carried an air of maturity, yet his face showed a certain youthful innocence, creating a stark contrast that was quite captivating.

The pity was...

He was really too cold! Too intimidating!

A single glance from him, and Chloe Grant wouldn’t even dare to hide behind Lucas Morgan.

Instead, she stayed well-behaved over there.

When she was younger, Chloe Grant had that mischievous urge inside her, always wanting to provoke Matthew Morgan.

If she didn’t dare on her own, she would pull Lucas Morgan along.

The result...

Every time, both of them would be harshly dealt with by Matthew Morgan, and that’s how the nickname "Nervous and uneasy" came about.

In the relationship among Chloe Grant, Matthew Morgan, and Lucas Morgan, Chloe Grant and Lucas Morgan stood together against Matthew Morgan in this pattern.

Now, Chloe Grant and Matthew Morgan clearly had a secret and shared the same story, which made the uneasy feeling in Lucas Morgan’s heart grow tremendously uncomfortable.

There was even a feeling of being abandoned.

"Why are you not speaking?" Lucas Morgan noticed that Chloe Grant had been silent for a long time without response, so he asked again, "Feeling guilty, or what?"

At this moment, Chloe Grant was looking down, biting the corner of her lip. After a while, she couldn’t help but smile.

She looked up at Lucas Morgan, "Actually, we’re not on the same side anymore."

"What do you mean?" Lucas Morgan frowned.

"Since you started siding with Lily Grant, we haven’t been on the same side. Those on the same side wouldn’t distrust each other."

Although Chloe Grant didn’t say it, Lucas Morgan’s lack of trust in her hurt her deeply.

Setting aside the romantic aspect and solely looking at the ten years of familial bond between them, Lucas Morgan’s distrust made Chloe Grant particularly sad.

"That’s because..."

Lucas Morgan wanted to explain but found himself completely at a loss for words.

Chloe Grant had no intention of listening to any explanation, she waved her hand, "I’m tired, I want to sleep now."

She walked to the bed, lifted the covers, waiting for Lucas Morgan to leave, then lay down to sleep.

Even though she couldn’t fall asleep...

"Just because you’re mad I don’t trust you, you’re not willing to tell me when something happens to you?"

Lucas Morgan didn’t want to leave.

Chloe Grant not telling him about her troubles worried him and brought him discomfort.

"Things will be handled," Chloe Grant replied.

She believed that Matthew Morgan would handle them well.

"You’re really not planning to tell me?" Lucas Morgan asked staring at Chloe Grant.

Chloe Grant didn’t look at him but instead lowered her eyes, focusing on the spot on her wrist covered by a band-aid.

She murmured almost inaudibly, "We don’t need to be that close..."

As long as they don’t get close, those affections would gradually fade, would gradually be sealed away, would gradually... disappear.

Is that how it will be?

"Fine! No need to be close! I’ll remember what you said today!"

Lucas Morgan nodded, let out a cold laugh, and stepped backward, finally turning around completely.

As the door closed with a loud bang, Chloe Grant couldn’t help but shudder.

She looked up, staring at the tightly closed door...
