Chapter 414: Chapter 414

Chloe Grant felt a bit dazed.

Since waking up, she’s been immersed in yesterday’s "dream," yet she ignored everything else.

Carefully, Chloe walked toward the kitchen, her heart pounding wildly.

Her thoughts drifted back to yesterday’s events.

She remembered drinking red wine and getting drunk.

This was the most unexpected thing to happen!

Later, Molly Polis left, and Sophia Fraser and Lily Grant stayed with a knowing, cold smile before leaving.

Finally, that old lecherous station manager came...

It seemed like Uncle Morgan showed up?

Chloe was now near the kitchen, where the aroma of food was even stronger.

The kitchen door was closed, so Chloe couldn’t see clearly.

Just as she considered peeking through the gap, the kitchen door was suddenly opened...

Chloe’s hand had been resting on the door, and as it was pulled open unexpectedly, her hand got caught on the decoration, causing sharp pain.

But she retracted her hand immediately.

Seeing Matthew Morgan at that moment, she couldn’t comprehend her feelings, only standing there stiff and nervous instinctively.

After a rather long pause, she respectfully called out, "Uncle Morgan."

No matter what had transpired between them, regardless of the time that had passed.

Her first reaction upon seeing him was always one of reverence, like facing an elder she respected.

"Hmm." Matthew Morgan’s demeanor remained as indifferent as usual.

He was a very profound person, his emotions reined in.

So, even if turmoil raged within him, he presented an icy exterior.

It would make people feel as if there was a natural barrier between him and them.

Never part of the same world.

"Go wash..." Matthew Morgan started to speak but saw her hand retracting, his brow furrowing, "What happened to your hand?"

Before Chloe could finish her sentence, Matthew Morgan had already domineeringly reached out, pulling her hand from behind her back, discovering a shallow cut on her index finger, currently bleeding.

Matthew Morgan’s face darkened instantly, "Can’t you take better care of yourself? Already twenty-two, yet still so reckless and careless."

As he spoke, he led Chloe inside and fetched the first aid kit used yesterday, then began to treat her wound.

The cut wasn’t deep, a band-aid would suffice.

But Matthew Morgan worried about infection, so he used alcohol to disinfect it.

During disinfection, Matthew Morgan was especially cautious, knowing this little one feared pain the most.

Could hardly endure any discomfort.

Surprisingly, Chloe’s expression was wooden throughout, even as Matthew applied the band-aid, Chloe didn’t make a sound.

"All done," Matthew Morgan said.

Chloe snapped back, quickly withdrawing her hand, lowering her head, utterly at a loss.

The silence stretched between them, creating an awkward atmosphere.

After about ten seconds, Matthew Morgan stood up from the sofa, stating coldly, "Your station manager will be changed today. The new manager is upright, only valuing work capabilities, never regarding relationships. Just focus on doing your job well."

As Matthew Morgan spoke, he headed inside, fetched Chloe’s slippers, squatted down, "Lift your foot."

Chloe was still bewildered, watching him, reflexively obeying, lifting her foot.

Matthew Morgan put the slippers on her.

"The other side." Newest update provıded by 𝚗𝚘𝚟𝚎𝚕·𝚏𝚒𝚛𝚎·𝚗𝚎𝚝

Chloe obediently lifted the other foot.

Once the slippers were on, Matthew Morgan stood up.

Chloe was looking at him, their eyes unexpectedly meeting... Chloe quickly lowered her head, her heart in chaos!
