Accidenttal One Night Stand with My Aloof Uncle-Chapter 76: The Days Without Him, How Carefree She Is~
Chapter 76: Chapter 76: The Days Without Him, How Carefree She Is~
Chloe Grant was pulled into Matthew Morgan’s embrace, but... in Chloe’s mind, she felt she ran into his arms on her own.
After all, she was so anxious that she thought he wouldn’t have pulled her into his arms.
Chloe’s face was pressed against that firm chest, feeling the burning heat, her cheeks flushed instantly.
She hurriedly pushed Matthew away and took a step back.
"Uncle Morgan... I didn’t do it on purpose."
She lowered her head, like a child who had done something wrong.
At this time, the mall hadn’t opened yet. They were taking a passage through the internet cafe, and many people were coming and going, inevitably glancing at them as they passed.
But more eyes were on Matthew Morgan, who was exceptionally handsome.
Matthew looked at her, about to speak, but in the end, said nothing.
He stepped forward, took Chloe’s arm, and led her away.
...
On the way back, the car was silent.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Chloe Grant quietly glanced up, but as soon as she caught a glimpse of Matthew’s tense jawline, she quickly lowered her gaze.
Was he angry?
Would she meet a terrible end because of it?
Chloe trembled with fear inside.
She thought Matthew was always there to mess with her.
"I want to go to the old family home, to see Granny Morgan!"
At the intersection, Chloe suddenly shouted.
It was just because of her shout that the car, which originally could have passed, was delayed by a few seconds, hitting a red light.
Matthew reached over, took a cigarette from beside the car, "Going to the old family home?"
As he asked, the cigarette was already lit. He opened the window and extended his hand holding the smoke out.
"Hmm, I miss Granny..."
Of course, she mostly wanted to avoid him.
The red light turned yellow, then green. Matthew guided the car with one hand on the steering wheel, heading towards the old family home.
Chloe let out a sigh of relief...
"Are you coming back by yourself tonight, or should I pick you up?" freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
"Do I have to come back tonight..."
Chloe was obviously reluctant, but upon meeting Matthew’s deep gaze, she shivered and hurriedly said, "I’ll come back by myself."
"Alright."
Matthew flicked the finished cigarette out, speeding up the car.
He dropped Chloe off at the old family home, got out to open the car door for her, then got back in the car.
"Uncle Morgan... aren’t you coming in?" Chloe couldn’t help but ask.
"Busy."
Matthew’s response was simple. He rolled up the window, and the car drove down the hill.
Chloe stood there until the car was out of sight and certain that Matthew wouldn’t return, then sighed in relief and patted her chest.
What a scare.
Luckily she was smart enough to quickly mention going to the old family home before heading back.
If not, being taken back... who knows how she’d die.
Chloe had no other hopes now, she just wished Matthew would go abroad again, not appear so often in her life.
Thinking back to the three years he was abroad, her life was brilliant without him.
No one to stop her from gaming, no one to catch her at internet cafes, no one to force her to eat, make her run in the morning, or surprise her with homework checks at night...
"So, Uncle Morgan, please go abroad soon."
Chloe began murmuring to herself.
She turned around and walked into the old family home, but unfortunately...
Lily Grant and Lucas Morgan were just coming out of the old family home, and the three met on the garden path face to face.
The scene was quite awkward.
Finally, it was Lucas who spoke first, "Chloe, you’re back."
He was so at ease, as if nothing unpleasant had ever happened.
He was still Chloe’s playful uncle.
"Hmm." Chloe’s response was rather cold.
She kept repeating to herself: from the moment she made the decision, there was only the bond of uncle and niece between her and Lucas.
As Chloe passed by them, she happened to hear Lily say, "Lucas, thank you for bringing me home."
Chloe’s steps halted suddenly, and a sharp pain pierced her heart.
Were they meeting the parents now? Was Granny and Grandpa Morgan satisfied with Lily... Stop! Chloe, this isn’t your business!
