Chapter 338 A Gift for Chloe
“Something wrong? Can’t I have a bite?”
“Sweetheart, you really think our daughter’s cooking is safe? I don’t want you sick.”
Stella covered her mouth and laughed.
“Dad, Mom, try it. I made it myself.”

Chloe stared at her cooking and scratched her head shyly. “It doesn’t look great, but it should taste okay. I followed every step of the recipe exactly.”
“You first.”
“But I made it for you and Mom!”
Elias smiled and took a piece of fried egg. His face twisted immediately.
“How is it?”
“Cough… cough…
Stella quickly handed him water and patted his back.
“Dad, it’s bad?”
Chloe tried a bite and spat it out at once. “Too salty! How?”
She tasted everything. None was edible.
Chloe laughed awkwardly. “Dad, Mom, let’s eat out instead.”
Stella smiled fondly. “Lily, breakfast please.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
Chloe drank half a glass of milk and looked up at Elias. “Dad, I’m sorry.”
“Don’t drink so much next time.”
“I won’t.”
Halfway through the meal, Chloe looked up. “Mom, aren’t you going to the research center today?”
“I’ll be at Nicole Girls‘ School all week.”
Chloe nodded.
Stella had built Nicole Girls‘ Schools across several states for poor girls to get an education. She often gave speeches, hoping the girls could choose their own lives.

Chapter 338 A Gift for Chloe
“Chloe, call me if Cross Group needs anything.”
“Don’t worry, Dad. I can handle everything.” Chloe patted her chest confidently.
“By the way… where’s Liam?”
“He left on an early flight.”
“What?!”
Chloe felt disappointed. Drinking had made her miss saying goodbye.
“Want to rest at home today?” Stella touched her head worriedly.
“I’m fine, Mom.”
“Don’t work too hard.
“Okay.”
The family went about their day.
At Cross Group.
Chloe saw flowers from Kieran as soon as she walked in. She smiled sweetly, cheeks slightly pink.
She hugged the bouquet and kissed it gently.
Her phone rang.
Her smile bloomed softly.
“Boyfriend… miss me already?”
“Smart girl. Name any reward. I’ll buy it for you.”
Chloe smiled warmly.
This man always wants to spend money on me. Where on earth did he even learn how to court a girl?
“Just you. Is that okay?”
“On my way.”
“No! I’m kidding. I have work.”
Kieran stared at her photo, grinning from ear to ear.
“Lunch together at noon. I’ll pick you up.”
“Okay.”

Chapter 338 A Gift for Chloe
“I’m going to Vosshire tomorrow for an important contract.”
“Go ahead. I’ll wait for you at the villa.”
Kieran’s cold heart softened completely. “I’ll bring you a gift.”
“I can’t wait.” Chloe checked her phone. “I have a meeting now.”
“Bye, babe.”
“Bye.”
Chloe took her files and walked into the meeting room with Mina.
After Kieran hung up, Callum walked in.
“Donate one billion to the Shaw Foundation.”
“Right away.”
Callum sighed. Mr. Jagger really spends a lot for love.
At noon, Chloe and Kieran arrived at a restaurant.
“What time do you leave tomorrow?” Chloe asked.
“Nine in the morning.”
She nodded. “When will you be back?”
“A week.”
“Don’t miss me too much.”
“What about you? Will you miss me?”
Kieran looked straight at her.
“Guess.”
