Chapter 206: Chapter 206: What Do You Think You Are? 6

"Mom, how have you been lately?"

In the end, it was Chloe Grant who initiated the conversation.

She fiddled with the tassel of the curtain in her hand.

"Hmm, not bad. How about you?" her mother replied.

Chloe suddenly felt a sting in her nose.

She didn’t know why there was such an unspoken distance between her and her mother.

When she was younger, when her parents returned home or took her abroad, she was a little girl who would snuggle up in her mother’s arms.

But in recent years, they barely met, and even phone calls became scarce.

"I’m doing well, everyone at home treats me nicely..." Chloe answered.

"Hmm." her mother responded.

Then silence fell between them again.

Chloe suddenly tightened her grip on the curtain tassel, "Mom... I... I want to come to where you are, is that okay?"

What she said was somewhat hesitant, but she managed to get the words out clearly.

"Didn’t you say you didn’t want to go abroad? That studying in the country is just fine?"

Chloe’s sudden request took her mother by surprise.

"I just feel like going over there, to be with you and Dad. It’s okay if I don’t study, I can help out at your shop."

As Chloe spoke, her voice was clearly choked, but she didn’t want her mother to notice. She pinched her nose, suppressing the sour and tearful sensation.

She wanted to leave...

She didn’t want to stay in this place any longer.

Lucas Morgan had caused her unbearable pain.

Now, after what happened with Matthew Morgan, Chloe really didn’t know how to face him, nor did she know how to get along with him in the future.

And then there was Isabella Gray...

The words at the dining table, Chloe couldn’t forget them!

"Don’t talk nonsense! Didn’t you say you wanted to be a broadcaster? Both your father and I are working, and we don’t have any connections in that field. If you come over, we have no way of helping you get into a school or anything."

Her mother explained calmly, then continued to ask, "Why do you suddenly want to go abroad?"

"I just want to be in the same place as my parents," Chloe replied.

Although this wasn’t the main reason, it was part of it.

"Actually, growing up, watching other parents attend parent-teacher meetings, or looking over their children’s homework, made me really envious... Especially in elementary school, when my desk mate got sick, and her mom came to pick her up..."

At that time, Chloe was also sick, but no one came to pick her up...

These words brought silence to her mother.

Before Chloe turned ten, she lived with her grandparents.

After she was ten, she stayed with the Morgan family.

Yet, as a mother, she had never properly accompanied her through a single day of growing up.

Seeing her only once every two or three years, it always felt different.

And their time together was so short, just when the unfamiliar gap from the long separations faded, they had to part again.

"Do you really want to come over?" her mother asked.

"Yes, I do."

"Think it through. After you come over, I’ll try to help inquire about school matters, but it might not be much better than here. Additionally, you might have to help out at the shop. I’ve seen many kids who give up studying abroad. Initially, they plan to study, but over time, most choose to go into business."

"I’ve thought it through!"

Chloe took a deep breath and said firmly!

"If I can keep up with studying, I’ll study. If not, I’ll..." just give it up.

She said the last three words very clearly.

Because suddenly, an image came to her mind: An eighteen-year-old girl, tortured by the college entrance exam, finally lost her temper, smashed the book, "I don’t want to study anymore, I’ll go abroad!"

A twenty-eight-year-old man, calm and steady, picked up the book from the floor and placed it in front of her, "If you can’t get through something this simple, what else can you do? University A, that’s my expectation of you!"
