Chapter 318 Crying Out Andrew In His Arms (Part 3)
He was a damn good kisser.
Their lips and tongues tangled up, and he held her close, letting her melt into him.
Chloe had been with guys before, yet she couldn't fight the heat of the moment.
When Andrew finally let her go, her legs were jelly. If he hadn't been holding her, she'd have hit the floor. She clung to his shoulders, totally lost.
She had just kissed Charlotte's uncle.
The party noise from the private room mixed with the thumping of Andrew's heartbeat in her ears.
Andrew started to sober up a bit.
Before coming here, he had a feeling that bringing her might prove to be a bit tricky.
Now, in this tight space, she was shaking from their kiss, as green as a sweet and sour fruit.
She was amazing, but not cut out for his world.
Andrew gently patted her head and said softly, "Chloe, I told you, someone my age isn't right for a young girl like you! Even coming out to have fun is all about social obligations, no real chill time."
His voice was rough. "Don't fall for me."
It was a sweet moment, but he had to go and ruin it with those words.
Chloe had her pride. With tears in her eyes, she stubbornly said, "I don't like you anyway!"
It was just a kiss!
She didn't care at all.
Hearing this, Andrew seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but there was a hint of disappointment that he quickly hid.
Later, he said goodbye to a bunch of classmates.
Gregory was surprised. "You're leaving? We were waiting for you to play cards; the party's just getting started."
Andrew made up an excuse and left with Chloe.
In the car, both of them felt awkward.
After a long silence, he lit a cigarette to ease his bad mood.
Chloe said softly, "I'll drive. I'll take you back to the hotel."
Andrew was pretty surprised.
He'd been with women before. Most women from good families and with good conditions had a bit of a temper, not necessarily throwing fits, but always using the situation to get something from the guy, whether it was an apology or affection.
Chloe's simplicity was a real treat for him.
They switched seats.
Chloe silently drove to the hotel. In the underground parking lot, Nathan was already waiting. When the car stopped and the door opened, he smelled the booze and laughed. "You've had quite a bit to drink! Thanks for the trouble, Chloe."
The alcohol Andrew drank had a strong aftereffect.
He hadn't felt it earlier, but now he was a bit wobbly.
Nathan asked Chloe to help him upstairs, saying, "It wouldn't be good if someone took a picture."
Chloe agreed.
She thought there wouldn't be any more interaction after this, as they would be relatives in the future.
The three of them were silent in the elevator.
Nathan felt the vibe was off.
He wondered if something had gone down during the meal.
Just as he was thinking this, the elevator stopped on the first floor.
Standing outside was Ethan, who was pretty surprised.
He couldn't help but sneer, "So you didn't answer my calls or listen to my explanations because you really have someone else, Chloe. How old is he? He must be at least 35, right? Can an old man like that satisfy you?"
Chloe was so mad that tears welled up in her eyes.
She had truly loved Ethan, and they broke up because he had a side chick.
What right did he have to question her?
But she couldn't find the words to clap back.
Ethan wanted to say more hurtful things.
Andrew struck a match behind him and said nonchalantly, "No matter how old I am, if a woman is with me, she will definitely be satisfied! But if it's you, that's not necessarily the case."
Ethan wanted to lash out.
Andrew adjusted his shirt and said coldly, "Ethan, I'm Charlotte's uncle, Andrew!"
Ethan was stunned.
Andrew?
Charlotte's uncle was Andrew!
He thought about how he had deceived Charlotte for four years, how he had used her to send William to prison, and then connected with the Hawkins family.
He never expected that Andrew from Copenhegan was Charlotte's uncle.
If that was the case, what had he been doing for the past four years?
Ethan was crushed.
Andrew, not trusting Chloe to be alone, had her come into the suite with him.
As soon as they got in, Andrew turned to Nathan, "Check out the Cooper Group! If there's any dirt, have the investigation team dig in tomorrow!"
Nathan could tell Andrew was in a foul mood, and it wasn't just because of Ethan. It had to do with Chloe too. He grinned and said, "If we dig deep enough, we'll find something!"
Only then did Andrew chill out a bit.
He unbuttoned his shirt and, like he just remembered, said casually, "Get a driver to take her home."
At this point, Nathan was sure there had been some drama.
He noticed something was off and was extra nice to Chloe.
Chloe had been messed with by Andrew, but he had also helped her. She wasn't the clingy type, and her feelings for Andrew were still all over the place.
She figured it was best not to see him again.
But as she was leaving, she couldn't help but look back.
Andrew, holding a bathrobe, was also looking at her, his gaze deep.
"Andrew." Her eyes were a bit red. She knew a guy like him wouldn't be into a naive girl like her.
She lowered her head and followed Nathan out.
Andrew put down the bathrobe and slowly sat on the sofa.
Just now, he had felt a bit reluctant.
But he initially preferred sophisticated women who knew how to act, even if they had a bit of a temper, as long as they weren't annoying and could read the room.
Maybe it was because he hadn't been with a woman in a long time.
As he was lost in thought, his phone rang. It was Adeline calling.
Adeline was anxious.
Charlotte had been found. Why hadn't Andrew brought her home yet?
Andrew reassured her and smiled, "Charlotte is on a business trip in Bostan. She'll come to see you once she's done."
Adeline then brought up her son's marriage.
Andrew chuckled awkwardly. "Mom, marriage is about fate. Do you want me to just marry any woman and have us argue every day?"
Adeline snorted. "Don't try to fool me! I know you too well."
After a few more words, Nathan returned and overheard Adeline's conversation.
Andrew hung up the phone. "Did you get her home?"
Nathan nodded and then hesitated. "Actually, if you like her, the age difference isn't that big. She's beautiful and pure."
Andrew seemed lost in thought.
He remembered the kiss in the club's restroom; it felt good.
After a while, he smiled bitterly. "It's not suitable! We'll inevitably be in-laws in the future, and her purity should be protected from the world's vices."
With that, Andrew took his bathrobe and went to take a shower.
The next day, Chloe slowly came downstairs.
In the living room, she heard voices. It seemed Patrick and Frederick were talking.
Patrick said, "I heard Ethan is being watched by the government. An entire investigation team went over early this morning!"
He coughed lightly. "Frederick, was it you?"
Frederick, knowing the truth, said modestly, "It must be another force! He must have pissed off someone."
Patrick nodded.
He also guessed who it was. Besides that person, who else had the power and the grudge against Ethan?
As they talked, they didn't notice Chloe's heart pounding.
Was it Andrew?
Did he really take action because of the harsh words Ethan said?
Suddenly, she wanted to see him.
Without even having breakfast, she drove to Andrew's hotel. She hadn't thought about what to say when she saw him. She just wanted to see him.
At the top floor of the hotel, she rang the doorbell.
For a long time, there was no response.
Just then, the manager passed by. He recognized Chloe and knew she was Andrew's guest.
The manager told her, "Mr. Devereux has checked out."
He was gone.
Chloe was stunned.
The manager noticed Chloe's disappointment and said softly, "This suite is always reserved for Mr. Devereux. You can find him next time he comes."
Chloe nodded.
She didn't know how she left the hotel.
Sitting in her car, she hesitated for a long time, holding her phone, but didn't dial the number. He had left without a word, so he really didn't care about her.
