Chapter 508 Seeking Marriage
"Where've you been, Chloe?" Cynthia asked.
"Had a meeting at Stellar Corp," Chloe replied.
Cynthia just nodded and walked off. Neither of them said another word.
When Chloe got home, she asked Maya about Francis.
Maya: [Ms. Blake, Francis has been talking about you a lot lately, asking you to come back. If you have time, could you come back for a visit?]
Chloe: [Okay.]
Chloe planned to catch an early bus the next morning since it was already late and the buses to Maple Valley had stopped running.
Just then, Donovan called. Chloe answered.
"Maya said you're heading back to Maple Valley. Come over to Kenneth's place, and we'll go together," Donovan said.
"When?" she asked.
"Now."
Chloe glanced at her watch. It was already past four, and it would be eight or nine by the time she got to Maple Valley. She figured it might be good to go home and see Francis now.
"Alright," she replied.
Chloe quickly packed her things and went to Kenneth's house, where Donovan was already waiting downstairs. After getting in the car, neither of them spoke, and Chloe slowly fell asleep.
When she opened her eyes again, the car was already at the Hillside Villa, and Donovan was unloading things.
Francis was standing at the door, happily greeting Donovan, "Daddy's back! Where's Mommy? Didn't Maya say you were coming back with Mommy?"
Chloe didn't bother to unload her things and squatted down to hug Francis. "I'm here. I heard you weren't feeling well these past few days. Are you better now?"
Chloe's lips brushed against Francis's face.
"I'm all better. Maya cured me, but I'm still super happy to have tricked Mommy into coming back," Francis said.
Chloe flicked Francis's forehead. "Naughty."
"Mommy!" Francis suddenly hugged Chloe's leg affectionately. "Mommy, I missed you so much."
Donovan glanced at the close bond between Chloe and Francis but said nothing, heading back to the living room. As soon as Donovan sat on the sofa and asked Maya what had happened in the past few days, his phone rang. It was Charles.
"Donovan, what kind of marriage are you seeking? Your news has become the highlight of some dating website. Why didn't you tell me earlier? I could have introduced someone to you," Charles said, half-jokingly.
"Which website?" Donovan asked.
"I'll send you the link. Are you planning to find a stepmom for Francis? Shouldn't you ask for his opinion first?" Charles continued.
"Stop babbling and hurry up," Donovan snapped, his tone not much better than his mood.
Just then, Chloe walked in, carrying her bag in one hand and holding Francis in the other. She kept talking to Francis and didn't even acknowledge Donovan, heading straight to Francis's room.
Donovan's gaze shifted from Chloe to the table, and he irritably tugged at his tie.
"I heard from the website that a lot of people are looking for you now. Their daily traffic is now what they used to get in a year. Are you the one who did this ad? If not, I'll have them take it down," Charles said.
Donovan glanced at the door to Francis's room as Chloe had just gone in and slammed it shut.
"No need. Leave it," Donovan said through gritted teeth.
"Donovan, are you serious?" Charles asked.
Donovan didn't respond and hung up the phone.
