At the Sullivan estate, Desmond had been waiting for Chloe for a long time. Since learning that Chloe was his granddaughter three years ago, he had wanted to announce this joyful news to the world and transfer one-sixth of Exotic Star's shares to her. Chloe had declined the offer, stating that she wanted to wait until she returned to her home country.
Apart from being Exotic Star’s ambassador, she was unfamiliar with the other aspects of the company’s business. Secondly, Noah had been the one managing Exotic Star all these years, and she did not want to reap the rewards without contributing to its success. She did not want Noah to feel like she was meddling in his interests. He had helped her too much, and she did not want to take advantage of him.
As Chloe stepped out of the car, Desmond waved at her with a smile. "You must be tired from the flight. I did instruct our private plane to pick you up, but you said it was too troublesome."
"Grandpa, I'm not delicate," Chloe said, chuckling. Besides, she was going to give a certain group of people a surprise, so she had to stay low profile.
"That's right, Grandpa. Chloe knows what she wants. Besides, the time taken wouldn't be much different," Noah chimed in, unconditionally supporting her decisions.
Noticing the affection in Noah's eyes as he looked at Chloe, Desmond pondered for a moment and made up his mind.
"Chloe, can I have a minute with you?"
"Okay."
In the study, Chloe took a seat. She noticed a plate of green grapes on the table and casually popped one into her mouth. "What is it, Grandpa?"
She had been away from Aesper for the past five years, and Desmond had occasionally come to visit her in Estre after learning of her true identity. Yearning for family affection, she naturally welcomed his presence.
Desmond contemplated for some time before saying, "Noah's grandfather and I had agreed on a marriage between you and Noah. The matter was put on hold because we couldn't find you. Now that you're back and have experienced so much hardship, you can stay in the Sullivan estate if you marry Noah. You two can manage Exotic Star as a married couple."
Chloe blinked playfully and chuckled, "Grandpa, I'm a divorced woman, and I'm a few years older than Noah. Are you sure he'll accept me?"
"I'm sure he will. Besides, it's normal for young people to experience a few failed marriages. What truly matters is that you support each other and lead a happy life together."
