Chapter 429 You Are Only Allowed to Like My Dad
Chloe knew that Donovan wouldn't tell her anything good. She was so nervous that she bumped her head on the door as she entered. Holding her head, she walked into Donovan's study.
Donovan looked at Chloe, then at the door.
"You're still as careless as ever," he teased.
Chloe remained silent.
Donovan said, "You can only be Francis's sister. Don't think about anything else."
Hearing this, Chloe clenched her fists tightly. She knew Donovan hated her and never expected him to forgive her.
"I think so too. It was just because Francis called me, so I came."
"You don't need to explain." Donovan lit a cigarette, the smoke swirling in front of him.
Chloe hesitated, not leaving.
"Is there anything else??" Donovan asked.
"Can you stop smoking in the future?"
Donovan's hand trembled slightly, and his tone softened a bit. "Why?"
"Francis is still young. Smoking around him will harm his health," Chloe replied.
Donovan laughed mockingly. "I didn't expect you to care so much about Francis."
"I..." Chloe was at a loss for words.
Donovan's sarcasm hit the mark. She hadn't seen Francis for three years, so why pretend to care now?
Just then, Francis came out of the bathroom.
After Chloe freshened up in the bathroom, she joined Francis and accompanied him to his room.
It seemed that since Francis was born, this was one of the few times Chloe had slept with him.
When Francis was little, because Gordon and Clara were around, Chloe felt uncomfortable and almost got depressed. Later, Chloe went abroad.
Chloe felt that this moment was filled with motherly warmth and closeness.
"Francis, who usually sleeps with you at home?" Chloe turned off the light and asked Francis.
"Dad. Later, I got my own room."
"Are you in preschool yet?"
"Not yet. Dad says there's no rush. He has my whole life planned out."
"Where is your mom? Has Dad ever mentioned her?"
When Francis talked about his mom, his voice lowered. "No."
Chloe's heart sank, and her last bit of hope disappeared.
She felt very upset and depressed. Francis was her child, but his life had nothing to do with her. At least, she didn't know how his life was planned out.
She was completely an outsider, knowing nothing about Francis's life.
"Chloe, my dad likes you a lot. Do you know that?" Francis turned towards Chloe.
"No. How do you know?"
"My dad's expression when he sees you is different from when he sees other woman."
Chloe gave a bitter smile. Of course, it was different. She was his ex-wife, the ex-wife he hated so much. If it were the same, he wouldn't be Donovan.
"Chloe, I need to go to the bathroom."
"Okay, I'll turn on the light for you." After turning on the light for Francis, Chloe noticed a small cat plush toy on his bed.
Chloe felt very encouraged, thinking, 'Not only does I have a cat plush toy like this, but Francis also has one. Could this be fate?'
She picked up the toy to look at it; the tags were the same.
Chloe became even more excited.
"Who bought you this toy?" Chloe asked.
"Well, a big brother." Francis was very sleepy and rubbed his eyes. "He is very handsome, Chloe. You can't fall for him; you can only like my dad."
Chloe chuckled, thinking, 'How could I fall for your big brother? That would be incest!'
But she just smiled and said to Francis, "Go to sleep."
Chloe put Francis to bed. She didn't know who this brother in Pearl Peak City was. She guessed it was related to Donovan, given his high status and many connections.
Because of this cat plush toy that was the same as Francis's, Chloe didn't feel as repulsed by Jeffery anymore.
