Chapter 616 I Want To Be Here

"What? What did he mean by an accident? If it was really just an accident, then how could he have such a big and healthy child? That child was just the same age as me for Christ's sake! That jerk kept on saying how much he loved my mother, but he was really just a disgusting cheating husband! Why didn't he just divorce my mother, huh?!

And to make everything worse, another woman came knocking on our door and challenged my mother! That bitch created a scene right in front of our house! And you know what he did, huh? Nothing! He just stood there, claiming that he didn't know who that lunatic was!

I feel sick! God! How could such a disgusting man be my own father?! This is why I can't trust any man! Falling in love is too risky. It's so hard to trust someone you love with all your heart only to have it broken. And then, what? Be left with nothing. Do you know that feeling, Ashley? It sucks,"

Chloe continuously lamented with a shaking voice and eyes almost teary.

Ashley had never seen her so vulnerable. She had always been so lively and cheerful all the time, and this emotional outburst was so out of her character.

Wrapping her arms around Chloe's shoulders, she comforted her, "All right, Chloe, it's all over now. Don't be sad. Your mother will be worried when she learns about this."

"No! You don't understand! This is not over yet!

My mother had always been so soft and gentle. When that woman came over to provoke her, my mother didn't say anything and just stood there with an expressionless face! Do you know what that meant? My mother had completely given up on that man.

She was too broken to fight for it! And the worst part of it is that all his women and that man's infidelity pushed my mother to her death! My mother was so depressed that she jumped off a building! Ashley, I saw it with my own eyes! Every night I dream about it so vividly. Her sullen face, filled with pain and agony, is clearly played and replayed in my dreams.

So you can't blame me for hating that man to the core! He is a disgusting human being! Hypocrite! I don't want anything to do with him! My mother did not deserve him! She did not deserve all of it!"

Ashley understood how painful it must be for Chloe to lose her mother who deeply loved her. But she couldn't say anything, she didn't know what to say. It was a personal and family matter, and she was not in any position to say anything about it.

So, instead of opening her mouth, she

fied with his response, she said, "What do you mean by oh? I'm telling you, Ashley was wronged. You have to help her."

Nolan was confused. Chloe's request was unexpected, but even though he felt that way, he still looked at her and asked, "How do you want me to help her?"

Chloe stood straight, placing her right hand under her chin and thought for a while. But to her dismay, she came up with nothing. So instead, she said, "We just have to let Duncan know that we are not the people he can mess with."

"Alright. I'll do what you say."

Although still baffled, Nolan just looked at her affectionately. He didn't have the heart to turn down her request––no matter how strange it was.

"Well, can we go back now?"

Hearing what he said, Chloe turned away and walked towards Ashley's bed. "No, I can't go back with you. I can't leave Ashley alone here. If you want to leave, you can go now. But I'm staying."

Chloe's voice was stern cold as if Nolan's gentle hug and loving eyes didn't have any effect on her.

At this moment, Nolan was even more confused. He didn't understand why Chloe was treating him like he was nothing. Squinting his eyes to look at her, he asked doubtfully, "You really don't want to go back with me?"

"I clearly said I won't go back. You can go by yourself. I want to stay with Ashley."

Ashley was getting stressed, seeing such a young couple quarrel in front of her in a hospital ward. This was definitely not what she needed right now.

So, in an attempt to discreetly mediate between the two, she pulled Chloe's sleeve and said, "Chloe, why don't you go back with him? I can stay here alone."
