Chapter 148: Chapter 148 He’s Never Been So Good to Any Woman Before

"Miss Simpson? Miss Simpson?"

It wasn’t until Nanny King’s voice rang out again that Chloe finally snapped out of it.

"Miss Simpson, is it that you don’t like the food? Or are you still feeling unwell? Should I call the family doctor over? Or maybe I can give the Eldest Young Master a call."

Before Chloe could respond, Nanny King had already started asking questions.

"No, Nanny King, I’m not unwell, and the food suits my taste and is really quite good. I just... suddenly started thinking about something,"

Chloe casually made up an excuse and then quickly finished her meal.

Nanny King was indeed very thoughtful in taking care of Chloe, gently blowing on each spoonful of food before serving it.

When Chloe was almost done with her meal, Nanny King, perceptive as ever, asked again.

"Miss Simpson, now that you’ve finished eating, I’ll head downstairs. I’ll tidy up and throw these away. Would you like to rest? Or do you want me to stay here and keep you company?"

"Nanny King, I’m still a bit tired. I’d like to rest by myself for a while. You can go ahead; I’ll call if I need anything."

Chloe paused for a moment and answered.

"Alright."

Nanny King nodded, gathered the dishes, and headed towards the doorway.

Just as Nanny King reached the doorway, Chloe suddenly called out, "Nanny King, you don’t need to be so formal with me. You can just call me by my name, or ’Little Chloe,’ or even ’Chloe.’ My mom used to call me that at home, and you’re about the same age."

"Alright, Miss Simpson, you really are such a kind person. No wonder the Eldest Young Master is so fond of you,"

Nanny King replied with a smile, adding that comment after a pause.

Chloe instinctively showed a hint of surprise, "Hmm?"

Alexander Johnson is fond of her?

How had Nanny King figured that out?

She had only been there half a day, and had hardly seen any interactions between her and Alexander Johnson.

Let alone the fact that she was still a married woman—even though she had already discussed divorce with Lucas Hughes, they hadn’t finalized the divorce papers yet, so she was still legally a married woman.

"Yes, well... Miss Simpson, please don’t blame me. When I arrived, I ran into Assistant Woods and asked a few questions. You know, I’ve been with the Eldest Young Master for years now."

"I know his temperament inside and out, so when I heard certain things, I immediately understood. The Eldest Young Master... he... Miss Simpson, you can trust me. The Eldest Young Master has never treated any woman as well as he treats you. He genuinely likes you."

Nanny King seemed hesitant to say more or perhaps felt she wasn’t at liberty to divulge everything, so after these few words, she quietly closed the door behind her and left.

Chloe froze in place.

Her mind was filled with Nanny King’s words and the fact that she was supposedly Alexander Johnson’s "first woman."

A thought sprang to her mind instinctively: Alexander Johnson actually liked her.

Last night, after all, he had indeed stayed by her side all night.

But then her mind kept replaying the incidents where Alexander had forced her and the things he’d said last night while they were involved.

And then there was the matter of their respective identities...

Finally, Chloe dismissed everything Nanny King had said today entirely.

Alexander Johnson liked her?

Heh, she didn’t even dare dream of such a thing, did she?

If word got out, even a three-year-old child wouldn’t believe it.

The Crown Prince of Capital Circle—how could he possibly fall for a married woman?

If anything, calling it "liking her" was far more likely to mean he was merely using her as a tool.

Besides, Mrs. Johnson had recently claimed publicly that she’d offer a five-million reward to anyone who could successfully "straighten out" the Young Master, with no conditions attached.

When his own mother made such a declaration, the entire Capital Circle became aware that he had no interest in women. Alexander Johnson had no choice but to do something to counter the rumors.

And she just happened to stumble onto him on the night of her wedding, tangling herself up with Alexander Johnson.

It was only natural that she became the perfect tool for him to prove himself.

After all, as the Crown Prince of Capital Circle, the future heir of the Johnson Family, he couldn’t let such gossip ruin his reputation.

Still, to Chloe, it didn’t really matter whether Alexander Johnson truly liked her or not.

She had only ended up entangled with Alexander Johnson because of that one million dollars.

Once she managed to gather that one million, she and Alexander Johnson would naturally part ways.

She wasn’t foolish enough to actually believe that the Crown Prince of Capital Circle seriously wanted to be with her.

Thinking this way made Chloe feel much more at ease.

As for the leave from the hospital, she had hardly ever taken any time off since she’d started working there. Now that Alexander Johnson had arranged for her leave, she might as well use it to rest.

Most importantly, she had no idea how she would face Lucas Hughes if she ran into him at the hospital.

Even now, Chloe foolishly believed that she was the one who had wronged Lucas Hughes.

Over the next few days, Nanny King tended to Chloe with utmost care, providing her meals three times a day, showing her genuine warmth and attentiveness.

But Alexander Johnson, ever since leaving that morning, hadn’t returned.

Chloe thought it was fine; living here quietly by herself was just as well.

Her body had mostly recovered, and it was time for her to return to work at the hospital.

As for Lucas Hughes, they were bound to divorce sooner or later; what had to be faced couldn’t be avoided.

However, she hadn’t expected that on her first day back at the hospital after her illness, Lucas grabbed her as soon as she arrived and dragged her into a secluded corner.
