She never expected Lucas to feel this way about her, but at this point, explaining anything would be pointless.
Chloe sighed, "Lucas, no matter what I say now, you won't believe me. Linda occupies your heart and mind now."
She paused for a moment, then said, "In that case, let's just end things here."
It was only then that Lucas noticed Chloe had been packing. Two huge suitcases were sitting in the room, filled to the brim with her clothes and everyday items.
Lucas let out a sarcastic laugh. "Are you threatening me again, Chloe? Can't you come up with something new?"
Chloe crouched down, zipped up one of the suitcases, and walked over to Lucas. Her voice was calm but firm. "This time, I'm serious. I'm moving out tonight, and I'll explain this to everyone later."
Just then, the butler called them for dinner. Chloe strode out of the room.
Dinner was a somber affair. Both Chloe and Lucas were lost in their own thoughts. Halfway through the meal, Chloe put down her fork. "I have something to say."
Everyone turned to look at her, sensing the gravity in her voice. Tara spoke up first, "Chloe, what's going on?"
"For these past three years, thank you all for taking care of me. But I've decided to move out tonight."
Tara was shocked and immediately turned to Lucas, scolding him. "Did you do something to upset Chloe again? Apologize to her right now!"
Chloe stopped her. "Mom. Lucas and I have decided to part ways."
