Chapter 1087

She casually glanced, then opened the door to get in the car.

"Wait! Wait!"

The girl’s shout made the three of them pause simultaneously, turning back suspiciously.

Manie York ran over in time, stopping in front of them, showing a smile that said, "Thank goodness I made it," while catching her breath to recover.

Just as Chloe Collins was curious about what she wanted to say, Manie suddenly straightened up, ran towards Alexander Foster, jumped, and hugged him.

"Grim!"

Alexander Foster frowned, slightly sidewarded, and avoided the girl’s hug.

Chloe Collins and Milton White exchanged glances, silently watching the whole scene.

Alexander Foster’s eyes held confusion and disgust, yet no familiarity.

"You’ve mistaken me for someone else," he said with an indifferent face.

Unexpectedly, as soon as those words fell, Manie lowered her head and shuffled on the ground a few times, then smeared the dust onto her face: "It’s me! Do you remember now?"

The girl was hopping excitedly in front of him, indescribably elated, as if she had finally reunited with a long-lost family member.

Milton White furrowed his brow. His earlier comment was just a joke, yet it turned out that there was a past story.

Chloe Collins didn’t react much; she had already figured it out.

After all, since they met in the canteen, this girl had kept her eyes on Alexander Foster. It wasn’t strange for there to be some story.

Alexander Foster silently stared at her, wordless for a moment.

After a while, he glanced up, seeming to remember something.

Manie corners of the mouth held a constant smile: "Do you remember now? Do you remember now? It’s me! We met in Goldasia, you saved us."

Alexander Foster looked away: "Don’t worry about it."

He continued to open the car door.

Manie knew he remembered. She frowned, walked in front of him, and said: "How could I not worry about it? I’ve been keeping it in my heart for almost four years. I came here to study to find you, and I finally found you, Grim."

Alexander Foster turned to Chloe Collins: "Let’s go."

He paid no attention to Manie, and got in the car with Chloe Collins.

The two cars slowly drove away.

Manie remained still, showing no signs of disappointment, instead laughing excitedly. She hailed a car, asking it to follow theirs.

In the main car.

Alexander Foster was silent for a while, turning to gaze at Chloe Collins quietly, as if expecting to see some kind of emotion on her face.

But Chloe Collins just sat quietly, her face calm.

Unable to wait, he explained, "On the last mission in Goldasia, I saved a group of people, and this girl was among them."

"Oh, I remember," Chloe Collins said casually as she played her game.

When the girl mentioned Goldasia, she had associated it with that incident.

She leaned back and said as if she had just recalled something, "I have encountered a similar situation."

The man gave her a glance, his face slightly tense. "What?"

"Um, a similar situation; I saved a boy after a mission, and he then clung around me, following me everywhere. I eventually took him in."

The man’s pupils tightened!

"Took him in?"

"Yeah, I took him in."

"How...took?"

"Let him become my person."

Alexander Foster’s hand slightly tightened on the steering wheel. He said, "I won’t take her in."

Chloe Collins made an ’oh’ sound again, concentrating deeply on the game in her hand.

At this point, Alexander Foster was no longer thinking about the previous matter, and had almost forgotten about that girl’s appearance. He was more interested in the ’he’ Chloe Collins mentioned.

"Tell me."

Chloe Collins shift her position closer, her nimble thumb tapping on the screen: "I’ve told you all there is to say."

"Details."

"No details," she said, "taking him in, is the end."

Hearing her patient explanation, the words on Alexander Foster’s lips choked, and he didn’t say anything more.

His heart was enveloped with joy.

No need to ask anymore.
