Chapter 202 Chatter
Donovan had already gotten up and was on the phone, seemingly saying he wasn't going to work today or something like that.
"Honey, Mom just made you some herbal drink. Drink it and you'll feel better." Chloe placed the remedy on the bedside table and then gently touched Donovan's forehead.
It was still a bit warm.
"I'm not drinking it!" Donovan coldly uttered.
"You should drink it! Mom has been waiting in the kitchen for a long time, wanting me to bring you the medicine. She waited for over an hour and already prepared it. Can't you just drink it? After all, she's your mom," Chloe kindly advised, then added in a low voice, "I told you before, always carry an umbrella on rainy days, but you never listen."
"Stop nagging!" Donovan was a bit annoyed.
As soon as the topic of carrying an umbrella on rainy days came up, he thought of Chloe's father. It always felt like Chloe wasn't saying it for his benefit, which made him a bit resentful. He casually picked up a book nearby and started reading.
"Since you find me nagging, I'll leave then." Chloe was about to turn around.
But then her hand was caught by Donovan.
Chloe turned back. "Drink it quickly!"
Donovan glanced at her, then picked up the medicine and drank it.
As he finished, he even shook the bowl to make sure he got every last drop of the medicine.
"Good boy." Chloe patted Donovan's forehead.
"I've finished it all, how about a reward for me?" he looked up at Chloe.
"A reward?" Chloe thought for a moment, then sat on Donovan's bed and kissed him on the lips.
Chloe would experience the scent and bitterness of the medicine with him.
After the kiss, Chloe half leaned against him, half sat beside him, "Should I go to work by myself later? The audit department just received an order from the Aurora Group. I need to perform well."
Chloe's eyes were bright and spirited, as if there was an invisible connection between her and Donovan, unbreakable and wild.
"Let the driver drive you." Donovan stroked Chloe's soft hair.
"Okay." Chloe smiled and agreed.
After Chloe went downstairs, Maya looked at her with a somewhat surprised look. "Chloe, did you drink the medicine?"
"No, why?" Chloe's eyes widened.
"Then, what's on your lips..."
Chloe hurriedly wiped her mouth with a tissue.
Maya chuckled. "Could it be that Mr. Blake didn't want to drink it, so you fed it to him mouth to mouth?"
"Don't joke like that." Chloe couldn't help blushing, Maya was quite forward.
On the way to the company, Chloe remembered Brayden's plan to go abroad from yesterday, feeling a bit concerned.
The long journey was boring, so she sent a WhatsApp message to Brayden.
Chloe: [You're going abroad, so what about Ellie?]
Brayden: [I wanted to arrange a job for her, but my dad wouldn't allow it. He wants her to find her own way.]
Chloe: [What are you going abroad for?]
Brayden: [To further my studies first, maybe open a branch office abroad later.]
Chloe thought to herself, 'Dylan is also quite ruthless and probably blaming Ellie for ruining his son. He has a grudge against her and wants her fend for herself. With Ann's arrival, Ellie's situation will worsen.'
Ann already had a grudge against Ellie.
Brayden probably felt guilty toward Ann as well.
And Dylan was likely securing his own future, fearing that Brayden in Maple Valley would always be overshadowed by Donovan, never able to hold his head up high.
Going abroad meant freedom.
They were all experienced individuals.
After pondering these thoughts, Chloe lowered her head and noticed that Brayden had retracted a message.
Chloe: [What did you send?]
Brayden: [Nothing, sent it to the wrong person.].
Chloe didn't dwell on it.
When she got off at the company, Chloe told the driver that she would be going back to her mom's place in the afternoon and asked him not to wait for her.
"Do you want me to inform Mr. Blake?" the driver asked Chloe.
"You can go back and tell him." Chloe turned around and headed to work.
The financial matters at Aurora Group were quite challenging, and this was Chloe's first time independently handling various data, inevitably feeling a bit overwhelmed.
It wasn't until 6:30 p.m. that she left the company feeling dizzy and went back to Amelia's house.
