Loved You Once But He's My Forever (Chloe) novel Chapter 549

Anna had no idea what awaited her. All she knew was that Taylor promised she could go home once she felt better, so she was determined to recover quickly.

Though too young to grasp the full situation, she sensed Taylor and Yael weren't bad people and felt safe staying close to them.

Before long, she and Yael were playfully rolling around together.

Taylor glanced away for just a moment and turned back to find them sitting in a mountain of snacks.

Anna had drawn a huge pattern on Yael with watercolor pens.

Yael turned his head, looking like a ghost.

Both kids were munching on chips and popcorn, sounding like little hamsters as they crunched away, while the floor was littered with the remnants of their battlefield.

Having always been doted on by three personal maids, Anna didn't see anything wrong with this setup. Wearing a pink dress and her hair down, she ran toward Taylor with a bright smile.

"Taylor."

Any irritation Taylor had felt dissipated instantly. Looking down at the girl hugging his waist, he gently patted her head. "Why did you draw on Yael like that?"

"It makes him cuter, doesn't it?"

Taylor took a closer look, realizing she hadn't drawn a ghost but a bee, complete with antennae. He nodded, "Very cute."

Seeing her hair tangled and a tuft sticking up, he found her even more endearing.

"Can't you brush your hair?"

"No, at home Mrs. Lambert, Chloe, or Mommy always do it for me. If they're not around, even clumsy Jake helps. Taylor, can you help me?"

"Me?"

Taylor had never braided a girl's hair before, but with her hopeful eyes sparkling at him, how could he refuse? "Alright, I'll give it a try."

He had seen Wisteria braid her hair before and thought it seemed simple enough.

However, when he tried, he couldn't get it right. The braids were either too high or too low, and a few strands always managed to escape.

After half an hour, Anna looked at her uneven pigtails and beamed, "Taylor, don't worry. You'll get better with practice. For your first time, I think it's amazing."

Her pure encouragement was heartwarming.

But then Anna remembered something. "Taylor, my cold is better now. Can I go home tomorrow?"

Taylor's face stiffened. Anna grabbed his hand and swayed it, "Taylor, come visit my house, okay? I have three brothers and a sister. They'll love you."

This poor girl still had no clue about her fate.

"Sorry, you can't leave just yet."

Her eyes dimmed instantly, and she looked at Taylor sadly. "Why?"

Taylor licked his lips, reluctant to reveal the truth. "Your parents want you to become more independent, so they've arranged for you to stay away for a while."

Anna's chest tightened. "They wouldn't abandon me, would they?"
