Chapter 476 Your Son
Two days later, Chloe was standing at the school gate, clutching a suitcase and looking all kinds of anxious.
"Isabel's seriously gonna be late," Chloe muttered to Saoirse, glancing at her watch.
"Chill, I just called her. She hasn't forgotten," Saoirse said, trying to calm her down.
"The meeting's at 1 PM, and the bus ride's like three and a half hours. We gotta be at the station by 10 AM at this rate and be late for the meeting. Ugh, it's all on me because I can't drive." Chloe said, stomping her feet and sweating bullets.
Just then, a car pulled up in front of them.
"What are you guys up to?" A deep, smooth voice came from the rolled-down window.
Saoirse had been stressing too, but when she saw who it was, her face lit up.
"Oh, it's Mr. Blake. We're waiting for someone," Saoirse said, all respectful.
Chloe turned around. Of course, it was Donovan.
Donovan eyed Chloe's suitcase and asked, "Where you headed?"
"Oh, Mr. Blake, we're off to Maple Valley for a financial forum. Taking the bus," Saoirse quickly replied.
"Finally, she's here," Chloe said, spotting Isabel running over with a big suitcase.
"All of you going to Maple Valley?" Donovan asked again. "Why not ride with me? I'm heading there too."
Isabel arrived, panting like she'd run a marathon. Chloe checked her watch; it was already 9:45 AM. Even if they caught the bus, it would be 10:30 by the time they got on. They still had to check into the hotel, and they'd definitely be late.
"Let's go. Get in the car," Chloe said. Donovan had just switched to a bigger, roomier Bentley, perfect for all of them.
Isabel and Saoirse hopped in the back, leaving Chloe to reluctantly take the front seat. She couldn't sit in the back with the students, especially with Francis also sitting there.
Seeing Chloe get in, Francis beamed, "Mom, here you are."
Chloe was buckling her seatbelt and paused, "Huh? Oh, yeah."
Isabel and Saoirse were beyond shocked at the address, but they couldn't ask right now, so they just exchanged looks. They both eyed Francis, confirming he was Donovan's "son," and Donovan's son called Chloe "Mom." That could only mean one thing.
"Mom, where you going? Dad can take you," Francis said.
Now, Isabel and Saoirse were even more certain the relationship between Donovan and Chloe.
"I'm going to Azure Haven," Chloe said, looking at Donovan. "That cool?"
"What's not cool about it?" he replied.
He drove fast, but the Bentley was super comfy, no sense of speed at all. Plus, this was a Bentley worth over three million bucks, way better than a bus.
Isabel and Saoirse were texting on WhatsApp in the back.
[Did I hear that right? When did Ms. Baker have a kid?] Isabel texted Saoirse.
Saoirse replied: [No clue.]
Chloe kept staring out the window, puzzled. Usually, when traveling from Pearl Peak City to Maple Valley, they didn't pass by Pearl Peak City University. Why now?
"Why are we passing by Maple Valley University?" Chloe asked, breaking the awkward silence.
"Your son wanted to see his grandpa's school," Donovan said.
The words "your son" made Isabel and Saoirse jolt again.
"Well, I mainly wanted to see if I could run into mom. And look, I did," Francis added.
