Chapter 392: Chapter 392: Feeling Like He’s Always Been 2
Looking at the row of slippers neatly placed under the bed, Chloe Grant couldn’t help but laugh.
When she knocked the second time earlier, she thought Matthew Morgan wasn’t in the bedroom.
She couldn’t help but fantasize, wondering if Matthew Morgan had simply left, gone on a business trip, or maybe even gone abroad.
Seeing now that there was indeed someone in the bed, Chloe felt a real sense of relief.
He used to often... watch her sleep, so... now could she also quietly watch him sleep in return?
Chloe’s eyes twinkled, as the little devil inside her began to stir.
She lightened her footsteps and tiptoed towards the bed step by step.
However...
Just as Chloe approached the side of the bed, ready to lift the covers, the person in bed beat her to it, suddenly throwing off the covers and standing up.
Chloe was startled, stepping back and almost stumbling, nearly falling.
"Chloe Grant, what are you doing here?"
A familiar voice sounded in her ears.
Just as Chloe steadied herself, she was a little surprised to hear the voice.
Steadying herself, she looked up... her expression directly astonished!
"Lucas?" Chloe almost incredulously called out the name.
By this time, Lucas had already thrown the covers aside, got out of bed, put on his slippers, and was walking towards Chloe.
"What are you doing here?" Lucas asked.
Chloe looked at him with a puzzled expression, then after a moment asked, "I should be asking you that question. Why are you here?"
How could it be him!
Wasn’t it supposed to be Matthew Morgan?
"I came over yesterday to drink with my brother, so I slept here." Lucas replied matter-of-factly.
The brothers often drank together.
Before the car accident, before Matthew Morgan went abroad, Lucas often came over to drink with him.
"Rather, what are you doing here early in the morning?" Lucas asked Chloe, staring at her.
After a moment, he narrowed his eyes slightly, moving closer to Chloe, "You’re here to see my brother, right?"
Chloe instinctively stepped back, with a somewhat panicked look.
It was the typical panic after being exposed, "I, I wasn’t, I..."
She instinctively wanted to refute, but suddenly she didn’t know what words to use.
Lucas watched her reaction, knowing he had guessed right.
"I thought you would go to see him yesterday," Lucas gave a bitter smile, his eyes obviously filled with disappointment.
So, she had been moved, hadn’t she?
So...
Would she choose to be with him without hesitation?
Lucas turned around, his back now facing Chloe.
He didn’t want Chloe to see how disappointed he looked at that moment.
"So... where’s Uncle Morgan?"
Seeing Lucas about to leave, Chloe hurriedly asked, unable to hide her concern.
"I don’t know, you can check the other rooms. He never likes sleeping with others." Lucas replied simply.
With a bitter smile on his face, his eyes dimmed from disappointment.
He thought...
Now he could finally understand how Matthew Morgan must have felt and looked, standing in the dark and secretly liking her back then.
It was painful, disappointing, but he didn’t want her to know.
"Alright, I need to wash up, my head is killing me." Lucas waved his hand as if nothing happened, then walked towards the bathroom, closing the door behind him.
In another room perhaps?
Chloe didn’t linger for long, turning around to walk out and check the other rooms on the second floor.
This time, she hardly knocked; she just opened the doors that were unlocked.
However...
