Chapter 254 Pry Them Open

Finished

Barry, whose school didn’t start until tomorrow, kept coming over. In half an hour, he asked Amelia eight times, “Auntie Amelia, when is Nina coming to my house?”

Amelia patted his head, patiently answering each time, “Nina will come play after she finishes visiting her Auntie Chloe.”

She couldn’t give a specific time, so this was her only reply.

Barry looked dejected. “Okay.”

After his moment of gloom, he mumbled to himself, “I miss Nina. This time, I can carry her for a long time.”

Barry had also been on the receiving end of Nina’s “uppies” requests.

He couldn’t lift her before.

Recently, he’d been secretly working on his strength. I think I can do it now!

Barry was still completely hung up on Nina.

Meanwhile, back at the hospital, Nina was growing restless in the room.

She had been busy opening and closing drawers, moving things around.

But after a while, it got boring.

Daniel hadn’t brought any toys when they left.

Now she had nothing to play with.

Bored, Nina opened the door and looked at Jasper, who was still sitting outside.

She decided to give him another chance.

“Who you?” she asked, tilting her head, ready for a chat.

But Jasper apparently found talking to a baby pointless.

He continued to ignore her.

Nina’s little face fell. She was upset.

Scowling, she slammed the door shut and went back inside to tattle to Chloe.

“Auntie Chloe!” she announced, her chubby finger pointing toward the door. “I am so mad!” She was furious.

Her babbling tirade picked up speed as her language skills slowly developed, though when she talked fast, logic went out the window, and her words got blurry.

William listened for a long time. Besides “I am so mad,” the clearest phrase he caught was “Nina hit him!”

William hadn’t met Jasper outside before, but he could guess his identity.

He is exactly Chloe’s type.

But whether they’d actually been together, Chloe had never said.

Regarding matters of the heart, the Graham family only knew about Chloe’s first love.

Her first love had been during her school days.

Their families were well–matched, and marriage was expected.

But that boy died.

He was killed in a building collapse at just twenty–one.

Before he died, he sent Chloe a message telling her not to miss him for too long.

William glanced at Jasper outside. It seems Chloe hasn’t listened to that last wish.

Jasper outside looked a bit like the boy who was gone.

But William knew Chloe.

She might hold a memory dear, but she wouldn’t lead someone on or play with their feelings.

William’s assumption was correct. Jasper, sitting by the door, wasn’t a new boyfriend Chloe had gotten involved with.

He was another rich heir who had moved abroad years ago.

After a chance meeting, Chloe had become… well, his devoted admirer.

That was what his friends called her.

Chloe was incredibly good to him—bringing him hangover soup, medicine for his stomachaches. Once, when something nearly fell on him from a height, she pushed him out of

the way without a thought for her own safety, then sat on the ground and sobbed.

Everything she did screamed that she loved him.

But he was a playboy. He didn’t want just one woman.

So, since Chloe never confessed, he never brought it up either.

He just let her keep being his “devoted admirer.”

This time, hearing about her accident, he panicked.

He cut ties with his countless flings and rushed to her side.

I know she loves me.

If she just doesn’t die, if she pulls through, I swear I’ll accept her.

I won’t treat her like a devoted admirer anymore.

I will make her my girlfriend!
