The Heiress With Seven Secret Identities
Chapter 325 One Step Closer
Liam stepped forward with a tender smile and pulled her into a gentle hug.
“Liam, when did you get back? Why didn’t you tell me? I would’ve picked you up!”
“Ms. Cross is far too busy. I didn’t want to disturb you.”
“Liam, it’s only been a few months. Don’t be so distant.”
Liam ruffled her hair softly. “How’s work? Are you managing okay?”
Chloe opened the fridge, took out two drinks, and handed one to him.
“Just focus on your dreams, Liam. I can handle Cross Group.”
“Chloe…”

“Don’t feel guilty. Being a powerful CEO is my dream too. I’m not doing this just for you. I’m not that selfless.”
Liam could hardly believe the once soft little girl had become Azure Peak’s ruthless business queen.
“Liam… do you think I’ll ever get to go to space in my lifetime?”
“Probably.”
“Fight hard. I know you’ll make it.”
The siblings smiled at each other and clinked their drinks.
“Chloe… I heard you’re dating someone.”
“What?!” Chloe froze completely.
“It’s not true?”
“Of course not! I don’t have time, and I’m terrible at sweet–talking men.”
“Why so nervous?” Liam grinned fondly.
“I’m not nervous!”
“If you like someone, you can date. Just don’t let yourself be fooled.”
Chloe was shocked. “You wouldn’t object?”
“You’re not a child anymore. I want you to follow your heart in everything… including love.”
“What about you? Seeing anyone?”
“I’m not thinking about it right now.”
“If you like someone, go after them. Life’s too short to ignore what you want.”
“Alright.”

The two talked deep into the night.
“Liam, do Mom and Dad know you’re back?”
Liam shook his head. “I’ll go home tomorrow and surprise them.”
“Okay.”
“Chloe, come home tomorrow night too. Family dinner
“Sure.”
Liam checked the time. “It’s late. Go upstairs and rest.”
“What about you?”
“I’ll stay here tonight.”
Chloe stiffened slightly.
“What? Don’t you want your brother around?”
“No. Your room’s always kept clean.”
Liam smiled and stroked her head. “Sleep tight. Goodnight.”
“Goodnight, Liam.”
Chloe went back to her room and locked the door.
She looked around for Kieran.
The room was perfectly tidy–but he was gone.
Did he really jump out the window and leave?
She stepped onto the balcony. Nothing seemed out of place.
As soon as she turned, she crashed into his chest.
Chloe quickly pulled him inside and closed the curtains
This man really is agile.
“Chloe… were you looking for me?”
“Where did you hide?”
“In your heart.”
Chloe punched him lightly.
He caught her small fist and kissed it gently.
“Chloe, don’t be mad. Too much noise, and your brother will hear.”

“You’re sleeping on the couch.”
He pinched her nose affectionately. “So cruel?“”
“Don’t want to?”
“I do. Whatever my wife says.”

Chloe clapped a hand over his mouth. He kissed her palm. Her heart raced, and she quickly pulled her hand
away.
“It’s late. Sleep. Goodnight.”
He leaned down and kissed her softly. He grabbed a pillow and lay on the couch obediently.
Chloe stared at him.
He really is obedient.
She lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
Kieran crept over and whispered, “Can’t sleep?”
“Mm.”
“Not used to having someone else in the room?”
“Mm.”
“Should I sleep in the closet instead?”
Moonlight illuminated his handsome face, his bright eyes filled with concern.
“Kieran… why do you like me?”
“Because it’s you.”
