Chapter 109

After entering the door, Chloe glanced back at the butler in the courtyard and sighed:

"Your man sure is oily, huh."

Oily?

Qin Huaibei looked at her oddly: "Why do you always like to use such strange adjectives?"

He had no idea what she meant.

However, Chloe didn't seem to have any intention of explaining it to him. She just lazily yawned and said, "Don't get it? Good."

Qin Huaibei: "..."

Some people just deserved a beating, damn it.

The group of five arrived on the second floor of the villa, where Qin Huaibei's room was located. There were also a few guest rooms along the corridor.

Qin Huaibei opened the guest room doors one by one:

"There are spare clothes in the wardrobes, all clean. Feel free to pick what you want to wear."

After saying that, he bid them farewell and returned to his own room.

After temporarily separating from her companions, Chloe closed and locked the guest room door, then opened the wardrobe to choose some clothes.

She usually wore the black combat uniform from The No.1 Military Academy. Now, as she opened the wardrobe and glanced at the array of casual wear, she felt a little out of sorts.

Chloe closed her eyes and randomly picked out a white hoodie and a pair of jeans, then immediately went to take a shower.

She had gotten herself drenched from playing too hard earlier, which felt really uncomfortable.

By the time Chloe came out of the shower and changed into her new clothes, Qin Huaibei, Daniel, and Anderson were already waiting outside her guest room.

Daniel's short hair was still dripping wet. He was squatting and leaning against the door, muttering, "Strange, how can girls take so long to shower?"

Judging by the time, it had already been nearly half an hour.

Daniel felt like he was going to grow moss from boredom.

Qin Huaibei didn't understand either, but he expressed his respect for it.

The three of them leaned against the door and wall, their minds blank, their expressions dazed.

Until suddenly, the door panel behind Daniel was violently pounded on.

Daniel jumped in fright, leaping up from the floor.

Seeing this, Anderson hesitated for a moment, then obediently walked over.

Chloe must have closed the terminal at some point, as the holographic screen had disappeared.

She reached out and gently pinched Anderson's chin, her gaze carefully studying every feature on his face, as if admiring it, or scrutinizing it.

Anderson didn't dare breathe heavily, meekly closing his eyes.

Seeing his demeanor, Chloe couldn't help but find it amusing: "What are you doing? If someone didn't know better, they'd think the young lady was bullying a fair maiden."

As she spoke, she released her grip on Anderson's chin and said nonchalantly:

"Sure, you're quite handsome. But so what if you're handsome? Does that mean the young lady will have anything to do with you in the future?"

"If that's the case, then why doesn't Xavier worry about Qin Huaibei and Daniel too?"

Although Daniel was a bit silly, he was still a dashing, untamed little wolf from the jungle.

Thinking of this, Chloe snickered: "Don't you agree?"

Anderson remained silent.

He felt that neither himself, nor Qin Huaibei, nor Daniel, could ever truly match the young lady.

Ever since Chloe had picked him up and brought him home, Anderson had been destined to give his life for her protection.

In fact, even Anderson himself didn't quite understand why Xavier harbored such hostility towards him.

He just... wanted to protect the young lady, that's all.

Anderson's expression grew pensive until Chloe shook him out of it and reopened the terminal:

"Oh, right, I need to tell you something."

Anderson raised his eyes: "What is it?"

"The head of the Francis Family just contacted me," Chloe's smile faded a little. "He said he wants to talk to you."

Upon hearing this, Anderson's brow furrowed slightly.

Chloe reacted the same way.

Anderson was considered a cast-off from the Francis Family, and after all these years, the Francis Family had never sought him out again. Chloe had thought they wouldn't bother finding him anymore.

But unexpectedly, as soon as she finished showering and casually swiped through the terminal, she saw a message from the head of the Francis Family.

Come to think of it, their intention was understandable.Discover new chapters at novelhall.com
