Chapter 228: Chapter 228: Accident, or Man-made? 8

But if the Morgan family heard this, or if someone else told the Morgan family, it would inevitably make them uncomfortable.

"No." Chloe Grant shook her head, feeling a bit guilty inside.

Everything Alex Grant mentioned never happened.

She wanted to leave, not wanting to face Matthew Morgan, or maybe after leaving, she could completely remove Lucas Morgan from her heart.

Chloe Grant didn’t consider herself strong enough to be as nonchalant as Matthew Morgan that day.

"If there’s nothing, then why do you want to go abroad?" Vann Stern asked.

Back then, Chloe Grant was very resistant to developing overseas.

During her senior year of high school, Vann Stern told Chloe Grant not to go to college and to work abroad instead.

Chloe Grant didn’t accept it at the time.

Later, it was the eldest son of the Morgan family who called her and said a lot.

The gist was that Chloe Grant had her own life and profession, still pursuing her dreams.

The tone was very calm, yet gave off a sense of strength, and the logic was clear, leaving no room for rebuttal.

Vann Stern only felt that the Morgan family adored Chloe Grant, so he didn’t say much more.

He didn’t expect that today Chloe Grant would actually bring up the matter herself.

"It’s just that I feel..." Chloe Grant licked her dry lips, trying to find the right words in her mind.

She had thought of reasons to answer her parents before, but now found herself speechless.

"I just feel bored and think developing in another country might be better, and learning language skills would also be beneficial." In the end, Chloe Grant lamely said this.

"Didn’t you say before that you could have better learning opportunities here? You wanted to be a radio host, and in the future pursue this career to tell everyone’s stories on a platform for the world to hear..."

Alex Grant directly threw back Chloe Grant’s words from before, leaving her at a loss for how to respond.

"I... I just feel tired! I didn’t know what I wanted before, but now I do... I just want to be with my parents, I want to help you, I don’t want you to be so tired."

Chloe Grant held her mother’s hand and began to play the emotional card.

Vann Stern remained relatively indifferent, even as Chloe Grant spoke, she wasn’t very moved.

It was Alex Grant beside her who was somewhat touched.

"You child..."

He couldn’t help but reach out and touch Chloe Grant’s young face, "You’ve been wronged."

Chloe Grant originally only wanted to play the emotional card, but when Alex Grant’s hand touched her face, she felt how rough his hands were, with calluses that scratched her face painfully.

Chloe Grant’s eyes suddenly reddened, her heart filled with bitterness, "Dad..."

Previously, she really blamed her parents.

Especially before she was ten, seeing other classmates being picked up by their parents, while she was the only one who wasn’t.

Parents would come to school events, but she was the only one without parents.

When sick, other kids would be picked up by their parents, while she had a fever all day and had to wait until school was over.

Chloe Grant blamed her parents for not considering her feelings, leaving her like an orphan with her grandparents.

Perhaps she grew up and became sensible.

Perhaps it was the rough hand of her father stroking her face at that moment that filled her with such an overwhelming sense of bitterness and made her realize her parents’ struggles.

She recalled seeing a sentence on Twitter once: In the adult world, nothing is ever easy.
