The one watching her was Miles Hawthorne.
She couldn’t find a reason.
And she’d never done anything to offend him.
She racked her brain but found no logical reason for it.
She tossed and turned in frustration, feeling like a transparent yet razor-sharp sword hung over her head, ready to fall at any moment and shatter her to pieces.
’Who on earth is the person behind all this?’
’Why are they so determined to kill me?’
’Who did I get in the way of?’
"..."
After another sleepless night, Chloe Reed emerged looking listless.
Seeing her like this, her grandmother was filled with worry. Her old, dry hand took Chloe’s, passing on its warmth. "Chloe," she asked, "are you still not going to tell Grandma? What on earth is going on?"
Chloe Reed’s heart skipped a beat. A mix of guilt and worry created an unreadable expression on her face. "What do you mean? Grandma, what are you talking about?"
Her grandmother’s gaze was complicated. With a soft sigh, she said, "Fine. If you don’t want to say, then don’t."
Chloe Reed, however, acted confused. "What do you want me to say? Why are you being so cryptic? Have you been watching too many TV dramas? Don’t tell me you’ve been having crazy dreams, too."
Her grandmother was speechless.
Chloe Reed leaned on her grandmother’s shoulder and narrowed her eyes slightly. "Don’t worry. I just haven’t been sleeping well. The fact that I haven’t been able to get this divorce finalized has been weighing on my mind. That’s why I’m always so tired. Once it’s all over, I’ll be fine."
Her grandmother still looked doubtful. "Is that really all it is?"
"Mhm." Chloe Reed nodded earnestly. "That’s really all."
Her grandmother said, "Alright, go get something to eat."
"Okay."
Her paperwork was ready today. Chloe Reed went to pick up the documents, then immediately made a post on her feed.
