Chapter 216: Chapter 216: Not Used to Chloe Being Gone 6

In the same city, not coming back when school starts, fine, but now sending things by mail?

Lucas found Chloe’s action quite puzzling.

"What is Chloe up to?"

He mumbled, while tearing open the document, then returned to the sofa and sat down.

Matthew, who was originally working, paused and glanced at him, "What’s that?"

Lucas didn’t pay much attention to Matthew’s action, and then replied, "It’s from Chloe."

After explaining, he couldn’t help but complain, "We’re in the same city, and not very far apart. Not coming back just a few days after school started is one thing, but sending stuff over by mail? It’s just lazy! Coming back herself once would be like she’s broken..."

"You’re a man, why do you talk so much?"

Matthew, already impatient from listening, shot a glance.

Even the way he tore open a document was clumsy.

Lucas paused for a moment, looked up at Matthew, and after meeting his cold, sharp gaze, Lucas silently lowered his head and began opening the document.

When the document was removed, and Matthew saw the most prominent words on it, his brow immediately furrowed!

He suddenly stood up, repeatedly scrutinizing the words on the A4 papers in his hand.

His expression grew more severe!

When he stood up, Matthew had already caught a glimpse of the words on the paper, so he roughly guessed what was inside.

"I’m going to ask her for an explanation!" Lucas slammed the papers onto the table.

"Ask who?" Matthew queried.

"Chloe Grant!"

"Shouldn’t you directly ask the person involved, hmm?" Matthew retorted coldly, adding in the end, "Even though she’s your girlfriend, don’t forget Chloe is your niece."

"But I have to ask, what does Chloe mean by sending this? Is this thing real or not, I..."

"First ask your girlfriend clearly, then go find Chloe." Matthew raised his eyes slightly and stared at him.

Lucas frowned, "But..."

"The hardest thing for Chloe to accept is people around her not believing her. Her parents weren’t around her since she was young, you’re a very close uncle to her. Directly questioning her like this, how will she handle it? Don’t you find your relationship with her tense enough lately?"

Matthew closed his laptop and tossed it on the coffee table.

His words left Lucas in silence.

It suddenly reminded him of a night before at the old house when Chloe asked him what if she said Lily didn’t really love him?

Back then, before Chloe even finished her sentence, Lucas denied it, and she chose to remain silent, not bothered to say another word.

Chloe’s expression from that time vividly appeared in Lucas’s mind.

Despair, sarcasm.

For some reason, with the recent unpleasant incidents, things from Lucas’s and Chloe’s childhood rushed into his mind like this.

At one moment, it was Chloe’s carefree smile.

Then it was Chloe’s sorrowful look.

Lucas held his head, feeling a severe headache.

In a hurry, he took the documents from the table and left the villa directly.

Matthew sat on the sofa, took the cigarette pack from the coffee table, took one out, lit it, then leaned his body softly on the sofa, looked up at the ceiling, and among the inhaled and exhaled smoke, his expression became blurred...

...

On the first Saturday after the school year started, Chloe had just picked up her takeaway and was walking towards her dormitory when...

"Chloe Grant!"

Behind her, a shout filled with anger made Chloe stop in her tracks.

No need to wonder, just by hearing that voice, Chloe knew who it was!
