Chapter 477: Chapter 477: Chloe Reed, I’m Afraid

She turned and left the basement. As the warm sunlight washed over her, she felt like she had come back to life.

Chloe Reed slowly exhaled. She glanced at the silent man beside her and said, "Let’s go back."

But Walker Grant said, "Want to go inside and rest for a bit?"

Chloe Reed glanced at the villa ahead. She had never been here before and was in no mood to rest.

"I want to go back."

She started walking ahead on her own.

"Chloe Reed."

The man’s low, deliberate voice came from behind her.

Chloe Reed’s steps faltered. She turned to look at him. "What is it?"

Walker Grant’s dark, almond-shaped eyes gazed at her intently. "If you had known from the beginning that the person you saved back then was my older brother... would you still have come to find me?"

Chloe Reed looked at him coolly. "If you had known from the beginning that the one who saved you was Sunny Reed, would you still have accepted my confession?"

A gentle breeze swept by, carrying their words away and scattering them over the grass.

A small smile touched Chloe Reed’s lips. "You never understood my heart, Walker Grant. We’re truly not right for each other."

With that, she turned to leave.

"I would have."

But his resolute voice followed her. "I would have."

Chloe Reed didn’t look back. "It doesn’t matter anymore."

But Walker Grant closed the distance in a few strides and grabbed her wrist. "It is important. Of course it is. We were meant to be together; there are no ’what ifs.’ The only reason I asked is because I’m scared. I’m scared that if you find out you loved the wrong person, you’ll never look at me again!"

Watching his retreating back, Chloe Reed thought he looked like he was fleeing in defeat.

"..."

「Jardinelle.」

Chloe Reed returned on her own. The moment she walked in the door, she saw a familiar figure.

"Chloe!"

Annie York’s face was alight with excitement as she hurried over. "I got the job as a maid here! I’ll be in charge of cleaning from now on!"

Chloe Reed was surprised. "What are you doing here?"

Annie York said, "I saw a hiring ad and applied on my own. Chloe, I can work here and pay you back!"

Chloe Reed thought for a moment, then nodded. "Alright. In that case, we’ll just pay you half your salary each month. You have your own living expenses to cover, after all."
