Accidenttal One Night Stand with My Aloof Uncle-Chapter 69: Feeling Suffocated? Feeling Bad?

The phone kept ringing, and finally, Chloe Grant couldn’t bear it any longer and picked up——

"Lily Grant, tell me, just how free are you?"

To keep calling like this, over and over.

"I’m just worried about you..."

Upon hearing Lily Grant’s deliberately aggrieved tone, Chloe Grant felt annoyed!

She must have been blind and foolish before to not see what kind of person Lily Grant really was!

"Spit it out if you have something to say, I’m busy!"

"Something big happened today, and the Lucas you like so much is defending me again. I’m really worried about your emotions, won’t you break down?

If you don’t, I’m calling to see if hearing my voice might just make you crumble?"

Chloe Grant: ...

This woman now openly shows her true colors in front of her, so is she completely unrestrained?

"Chloe, don’t be sad. You know how Lucas Morgan can be—it’s his flaw. He likes me, and he keeps defending me. It’s like the Morgan family always defends their own... Oh, but since you’re just a niece, they don’t protect you... then I can only say, you’re not part of their inner circle.

All the way home, he comforted me, telling me not to overthink. No matter how I think, I’m still worried about you, feeling sorry for you.

Tell me, after you fancied him for so many years, why doesn’t he look at you? Why does he just have to like me and treat me well?"

Chloe Grant rolled her eyes countless times listening to Lily Grant’s words.

She never realized how extraordinary this woman could be.

Used to think she was fragile and innocent, needing protection like a little white rabbit...

Pah!

Chloe Grant must have been an idiot before not to see her true face.

"Lily Grant, I never told you something."

Chloe Grant gave a cold laugh, making sure her voice transmitted flawlessly to the other end.

She continued, "Your clinging to Lucas Morgan is nothing but a scheme to marry into the Morgan family. But sorry, the Morgan elders have doted on me since childhood, always close to me. If I speak about you a bit more over there... hmm... you’ve witnessed Uncle Morgan’s attitude towards you, and you should understand how the Morgan family acts towards outsiders."

"Does hearing all this make your heart heavy? Does it feel as disgusting as swallowing shit?

Allow me to responsibly tell you a fact: if you had initially mentioned your affair with Lucas Morgan to me, I would have been sad and angry, but I would have woken up. I can be so stupid it’s frightening.

I might have helped you, introduced you to the Morgan elders, praised you in front of them.

Imagine that scenario—your dream of a grand family could so easily be realized?"

What Chloe Grant said was mostly hypothetical, but there was truth in it, too.

She and Lucas Morgan were publicly uncle and niece.

As for romance, Chloe Grant had a one-sided crush on him; Lucas had never expressed his interest in Chloe. So even though Chloe was sad and unwilling to accept Lucas’s choice of someone else, she had to face it.

And maintain basic decency to keep the uncle-niece relationship with Lucas Morgan.

"Stop talking to me about these things!"

After a long pause, Lily Grant threw this sentence out, clearly exasperated.

Evidently, Chloe Grant’s words hit her where it hurt.

After all, even though she targeted Chloe Grant, getting past the Morgan elders was incredibly tough.

From Matthew Morgan’s attitude towards her, it was clear that entering the Morgan family was impossible for now.

If she can’t get past Matthew Morgan, how could she talk about entering the Morgan family?

Dream on!
