Ethan Hale remained silent.

After a long moment, Chloe Bennett sniffled and turned to look at him.

Ethan, you barely ate anything just now. Let me stay and eat a little more with you? After all, you still have to

work.”

Ethan shook his head slowly. “No, I don’t have much of an appetite.”

Chloe bit her lip, her face filled with self-reproach. “It’s my fault. I ruined your mood.”

The already heavy atmosphere suddenly grew even more suffocating.

Ethan’s brow furrowed, his gaze deepening, but he forced his tone to remain light. “When is your leg check-up? ‘ll go with you.”

Okay.” Chloe followed his lead and changed the subject. “In a few days. I’ll call you then.”

Then I’ll take you home.” Ethan started the engine and stepped on the gas. The car drifted slowly toward the

Bennett home.

A few minutes later, they arrived at the gates.

Ethan lifted Chloe from the car and placed her in her wheelchair. “I’ll walk you inside.”

No need, I can manage.” Chloe forced a smile. “You have work to do. Get back to the office.”

The thought of Ethan asking Mia Carter to go to his office sat heavy in Chloe’s heart. But with her limited nobility, she couldn’t stay at Bayview every day.

Ethan didn’t insist. He turned back toward the car.

ust as he started the engine, Chloe knocked on the window.

He had no choice but to roll it down.

With the window halfway down, Ethan’s profile looked sharp and aristocratic. Every time Chloe saw him like this, her heart couldn’t help but race.

Ethan, I…”

She hesitated, the words stuck in her throat.

Ethan spoke first. “Go back and get some rest. Don’t overthink things.”

Chloe remained silent for a beat. “But, that…”

‘We agreed. This matter is a secret. No one mentions it.”

Ethan interrupted her, his tone half-coaxing, half-stern.

“Okay.” Chloe’s eyes reddened again, but she suppressed her emotions. “Drive safely.”

She backed her wheelchair away to clear the path and watched the Maybach speed away.

Only after the car vanished around the corner did Chloe navigate her wheelchair into the villa.

Back so soon?” Sandra Bennett walked over, seeing at a glance that Chloe was in a bad mood. “What happened?”

Chloe snapped, “I ran into Jaxon Rivers!”

Sandra’s face instantly darkened. “Did he bully you again? It’s all Mia’s fault. If it weren’t for her, we would never have been dragged into this with him!”

The mother and daughter entered the living room, where a servant helped Chloe onto the sofa.

Looking at Chloe’s cast-covered leg, Sandra’s heart ached.

My poor daughter, suffering like this. You’re being bullied by someone with no parents to speak of.”

She pulled Chloe into her arms and sighed. “My heart won’t be at ease until you’ve secured your position as the young mistress of the Hale family! Only then will all this suffering be worth it.”

Chloe pressed her lips together, her mind racing.

I’ve felt things out. Your aunt wants you two to get married soon. She says Ethan is too busy with work to make rrangements, but what she really means is the decision is in Ethan’s hands. You need to push him to get the vedding done as soon as possible.”

Sandra couldn’t wait any longer. With everything that had happened, she had a bad premonition.

The wedding will happen. As for when, it depends on Ethan’s plan. I can’t push him.”
