Chapter 731 I Like You Best

Chloe kept looking around, but Ashley was nowhere to be found. If she wasn't mistaken, the two silhouettes that skimmed past her should be Ashley and Andrew. She didn't expect that Andrew would come here with Ashley.

'Their relationship seems to be well, and they seem to enjoy each other's company, ' Chloe thought as she glanced at Duncan who was right next to her.

All of a sudden, she blurted, "You like Ashley, don't you?"

Since he arrived at the party, Duncan had been looking everywhere for Ashley. He was totally shocked at Chloe's question.

Duncan thought he had been subtle with his intentions, but Chloe still read him well.

Seeing Duncan freeze with shock, Chloe smiled and said, "You don't have to hide it from me, silly. I know you like Ashley. In the past five years, every time you came to town, you would look for Ashley first, not to mention the things you did for her. Don't tell me that she is just an ordinary friend."

Duncan never expected that a woman, Ashley friend, would see right through him.

Duncan was initially dumbfounded but as he was knocked back to his senses, Duncan knew that concealing what he felt for Ashley would not solve anything at that point. Moreover, he had had enough, hiding his feelings for her.

Duncan simply nodded at Chloe and said, "You are right! I do adore Ashley! It has been like this for five years and my love for her has never changed!"

After that, he laughed at his own folly and said, "I know that it does not make any sense. It seems hopeless that Ashley would fall for me and I've been nothing more than a friend to her. She has always been lukewarm towards me, and that tells me that our relationship has reached its ceiling. Tell me Chloe, how could I win her heart?"

At that point, Duncan knew that he had little to no chance of getting Ashley affection, but h

l.

Slowly, he squinted his eyes and asked menacingly, "Who was that man? Huh?"

"That man? Which man? I don't recall having contact with any man except for you... . . . . ."Chloe decided to play innocent.

Nolan's eyes evidently grew furious as Chloe's voice grew weaker.

"Well, I admit that there was a man next to me before you came, but he's only an acquaintance. I swear, we were just gossiping. That man likes Ashley! He was just asking about her. Don't think too much about it. You're the only man I want to be intimate with. You are the only man that I love, now and for always"

Chloe hugged Nolan and leaned against his strong chest.

She was acting very timidly.

Looking at Chloe's sweet and meek appearance, Nolan didn't have the heart to do anything to her.

Perhaps, this was because of the confusing love and hate that Nolan felt.

"Ashley... Ashley again. Is she the only person you think of every day?"

"No. You are the one who is always on my mind, Nolan. I think of Ashley occasionally. Besides, Ashley is all alone here. I'm her only good friend. Of course, I have to be nice to her. Don't be jealous. As soon she becomes more stable with her family, I won't bother myself with her anymore."
