Chapter 67
Listening to the voice on the phone, Naomi asked a few questions and then hung up. She grabbed her car keys and headed out.
Meanwhile, Brendan had just parked his car outside Chloe’s old apartment building. Chloe walked out of the building with a bag in her hand.
“Brendan,” When she saw him, Chloe happily ran over.
Brendan glanced at the open car door. “The bag is inside.”

Chloe bent down to retrieve her bag and then closed the car door. “Caleb is doing his homework, and my
mom’s condition has been stable recently.”
Brendan remained silent.
With her bag slung over her shoulder, Chloe looked up at Brendan, her eyes shining brightly. Her mood was exceptionally good.
Brendan kept his hands in his pockets and calmly said, “Now that things at home have stabilized, it’s time for you to consider your own personal matters.”
Upon hearing this, Chloe sighed helplessly. “Caleb is still too young, and my mom’s health is only temporarily stable. I don’t have the time or energy to think about anything else.”
Then, Chloe suddenly realized something and exclaimed, “Brendan, you’re not thinking that I haven’t had a boyfriend because of you, are you? Please don’t have such thoughts. Even though I… Anyway, it has nothing to do with you. Don’t feel pressured. I have my own plans regarding my personal life.”
As Chloe explained all this, her speech became noticeably faster.
At that moment, she wasn’t sure if her single status had anything to do with Brendan. But she did know that if she weren’t single anymore, she wouldn’t have any reservations.

Despite her denial, she couldn’t deceive herself. She liked Brendan.
From the moment she first saw him, she had liked him. She feared that if she wasn’t single, she wouldn’t
even have a chance to like him.
Brendan responded, “Neither of us cook.”
With the bag hanging from her shoulder, she continued, “On my way down, Caleb kept reminding me to make sure I gave you these. They are freshly made.”
