Chapter 524 Sneaking into His Bed
'I completely lost, and it is a terrible defeat. Provoked by Donovan, I once again succumbed. I feel so embarrassed—how could I be so foolish!' Chloe thought , clumsily trying to put on her clothes, but her body was dry, making it difficult to dress.
Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that at some point Donovan had fastened her bra strap.
"I need to go back tonight. Jane is still waiting for me at home, and besides, Maya doesn't really like me." Chloe said.
"Okay." Donovan responded.
"Why don't you find someone else?" Chloe asked.
Donovan stood behind her, helping her with her clothes. Chloe put on a sweater, and because of the dryness, Donovan helped pull it down.
Finally, everything was in place. Chloe pulled her hair out from under the sweater and tossed it back.
Donovan, standing behind her, was momentarily stunned, saying through gritted teeth, "I don't know why I fell for you. You're so pretentious and ungrateful!"
Chloe bit her lip lightly. "Do you have a hairdryer?"
"Didn't you always dislike using a hairdryer?" Donovan asked softly.
Suddenly, he felt a bit irritated. He thought about those years with Chloe, her habit of not using a hairdryer, and the days and nights they spent together. Unexpectedly, Chloe suddenly disappeared, and they missed several years. When they met again, Chloe was already twenty-eight, and he was thirty-six. When he first met her, he was thirty, in the prime of his life.
Donovan had asked himself many times why he didn't find someone else. After all, Chloe had so many bad habits and was ungrateful. But every time a beautiful woman approached him, he couldn't help but think of Chloe. He would compare the new woman's looks and personality to Chloe's. Chloe had dreams, willing to abandon him and Francis for them. That kind of determination was rare. Gradually, Chloe became the standard by which he judged other women, an insurmountable peak.
"I'm about to leave. It's snowing heavily today..." Chloe started to say.
"You're not allowed to leave!" Donovan said hoarsely, his voice low and raspy, as if he would devour her if she left.
"But Jane is..." she said.
"Let her stay." Donovan interrupted her.
"But Maya..."
"Do you really have to leave? Why are all your reasons for leaving?" Donovan suddenly raised his voice, annoyed by Chloe's excuses.
"There is indeed a reason," Chloe said.
"What?" Donovan asked.
"Francis!"
"Stay here!" Donovan gritted his teeth, then opened the door and left.
Chloe felt that she probably couldn't leave today.
After thinking for a moment, she took out her phone and sent Jane a message: [I might not be able to come back today. I just took a shower, and my hair is still wet. Besides, I want to be with Francis tonight. Are you scared to stay in my room alone?]
Soon, she received a WhatsApp message from Jane replied : [You always prioritize romance over friendship. I just got here, and you promised to share a bed with me. Now you're sharing a bed with him? Just admit you want to snuggle with Mr. Blake. You do it when I'm here, and you probably do it even more when I'm not.]
Chloe: [Don't talk nonsense.]
Jane: [Fine, I won't expose you. If you don't come back, I'll enjoy myself. I'll check out the handsome guys at school, eat whatever I want, and binge-watch shows on your computer all night! It's a vacation no matter where I am.]
Chloe: [Okay, but don't lose my research and papers.]
After the last incident, Chloe had become much more cautious. She always emailed her work to herself. She knew Jane wasn't that kind of person, so she just reminded her.
Jane replied: [Got it. You can trust me.]
Chloe stayed in the room for a while longer when her phone rang again.
