Chapter 254 Are You a Pervert?
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Brayden took Chloe and Maya home.
Chloe sat on the sofa, holding the two dolls in her hands, thinking about where to place them appropriately.
Maya came over and saw that Chloe really liked these two dolls. She didn’t think there was any meaning to them.
"Do you like these two dolls so much?" Maya asked Chloe.
"Yes, they have meaning," Chloe said mysteriously.
She suddenly returned from the annual meeting, and the house felt very empty.
Chloe always remembered the busyness of last year. Around this time last year, Amelia was probably getting ready to spend the New Year at Donovan's house.
Last year, Amelia and Grandpa Blake were both here.
But this year, they were both gone.
She couldn't help but feel sad.
Maya saw Chloe, who was originally happy, suddenly sitting on the sofa wiping away tears, knowing that she was thinking about those people from last year again.
"Alright, Chloe, stop thinking about it. People have to move forward." Maya sat beside Chloe.
"I often miss my childhood, being with Amelia. As I grew up, I always hoped she would wake up, never despairing. I've never felt like I do today, as if life has nothing left but the future." Chloe expressed sincerely.
She was reminded of an old saying: "With parents, one has a home; without them, one only has destinations."
She couldn't relate to it in the past, but now she can, and it fills her with even more despair.
Maya patted Chloe's shoulder.
Chloe leaned against Maya's shoulder, realizing that she would never lean on Amelia's shoulder again in her life.
Chloe cried until she eventually fell asleep on Maya's shoulder.
Although she was pregnant, she was also like a child herself, needing an adult by her side.
Donovan came back from work.
He saw Chloe's body trembling from behind.
Maya turned around and quietly gestured to Donovan. Then, she pointed at Chloe and mouthed, "She's asleep."
Donovan changed into slippers and walked over, lifting Chloe horizontally.
He furrowed his brow slightly; she was heavy, and he struggled a bit while carrying her.
After Chloe was put on the bed, she drowsily opened her eyes for a moment, saw him, and then turned her body away as if repelled.
She despised Donovan.
Then, Chloe fell back asleep.
Donovan stood there for a while with his hands in his pockets. He clenched his teeth tightly in anger, but ultimately, he didn't argue with her.
Donovan returned to the living room and noticed two small dolls there.
"What are these?" Donovan asked.
"These are the prizes Chloe won at the company's rraffle today. She had really bad luck, so she only got this pair of dolls. But she really likes them." Maya said with a smile.
Donovan picked up the two dolls and threw them in the trash.
Both dolls were broken into pieces.
Seeing Donovan angry, Maya didn't dare say much and went to the kitchen.
When Chloe woke up, it was already past five o'clock, just in time for Maya to call her for dinner.
Donovan was already sitting at the dining table.
Unexpectedly, the first thing Chloe did after waking up was to search the sofa, but she couldn't find the dolls.
"Maya, have you seen my dolls?" Chloe was puzzled.
These dolls represented the health of her children and couldn't be thrown away casually.
"Maya is serving soup, and she looked at Donovan with a troubled expression."
"I threw them away!" Donovan said.
"Where did you throw them?" Chloe was a bit agitated.
As a soon-to-be mother, she somewhat believed that it was a symbol of her child, and Donovan actually threw them away.
Maya quietly pointed to the kitchen trash can.
Chloe walked over and saw the two dolls, limbs dislocated, just like how Chloe's child in her belly might have been manipulated.
Her heart ached, feeling sad.
"What's wrong with you? You tear apart things that others like, or you break them! Are you mentally deranged?" Chloe bent down, looking at the pitiful and dirty dolls in the trash can, and scolded Donovan.
Donovan knew she must be referring to Brayden's book on auditing.
Bringing it up again!
There was no need to ask about this pair of dolls; they symbolized her and Brayden's loving relationship.
Donovan couldn't take it anymore!
"Chloe, stop." Maya saw Chloe crying again, feeling extremely sad, and Mr. Blake's expression was also very unpleasant. She comforted Chloe, "Mr. Blake didn't mean it."
"Didn't mean it! He directly threw them in the trash!" Chloe was very angry at Maya for speaking up for Donovan.
"As long as they're gifts from Brayden, they're all good, right?" Donovan angrily questioned Chloe.
Chloe was infuriated and said to Donovan, "Yes!"
Donovan slammed the fork on the table and went back to the room.
Chloe picked up the dolls' broken limbs from the trash can and tried to fix them, but some parts were still broken.
Chloe felt unhappy. She thought to himself, 'This omen is really bad!'
