Chapter 541 You Are My Ray of Light
After arriving at school, Chloe told Donovan and Francis to go eat.
"You should come back early. Don't do anything unnecessary." Donovan said coldly to Chloe.
"I know." Chloe now realized that Cynthia was really cunning. It was possible that Cynthia had spread the love letters herself, just to let the whole school know about the rumors between Cynthia and Donovan, linking the two of them together. This way, everyone would treat Chloe with prejudice. Even though Donovan met Chloe later, people might still say that Chloe stole Donovan from Cynthia. Even if Chloe did nothing wrong, she would still be labeled with such a bad reputation.
If Chloe and Cynthia ever had a conflict in the future, people might instinctively be on Cynthia's side.
Chloe followed Cynthia to Cynthia's house.
Although Cynthia had said she did not need company, Chloe insisted, saying she wouldn't feel at ease until she saw Cynthia was safe.
At Cynthia's house, Chloe found it was very messy, with a lot of love letters, filling an entire box.
"Chloe, do you think I'm ridiculous?" Cynthia's eyes were still swollen. As she tidied up, pain etched across her face. "Why did I like someone so much back then? I can't figure it out. I just really, really liked Donovan. Now you've seen it, and you're laughing at me."
"It's okay." Chloe just glanced and saw on one of the love letters Cynthia had written to Donovan: [You are my ray of light. With you, I see the beauty of life.]
"Donovan returned all these letters to me. Besides, I later fell in love with my husband. These things have passed. Jake dug them out today." Cynthia added.
Chloe didn't say anything. Although she didn't know Donovan back then, the thought of another woman telling Donovan he was a ray of light made Chloe extremely uncomfortable.
"Have you eaten?" Chloe asked Cynthia. "Let me make you something to eat."
With that, Chloe went to the kitchen.
As the water in the pot went from calm to boiling, Chloe didn't feel like she had pulled Cynthia back from the brink of death. Instead, Chloe felt like she had been trapped, feeling deeply uneasy.
Chloe's phone buzzed as she was watching Cynthia finish her noodles. It was Brayden.
Brayden hadn't contacted Chloe for a long time. Thinking of the mysterious guest on the forum last time and the big hug Brayden gave her, Chloe felt warm inside.
In this life, Chloe and Brayden had no chance of being together, but they could still be friends.
Brayden: [Chloe, I'm probably getting married this Saturday!]
Chloe: [To whom?]
Brayden: [Carol, you know her. Do you want to come to the wedding?]
Chloe thought, 'Carol has always been hostile towards me. If I go, it will definitely make everyone uncomfortable. If the situation gets out of control, it won't be good.'
Chloe: [My school schedule is very busy, so I might not be able to make it, but I'll definitely prepare a gift for you.]
Brayden had known that Chloe wouldn't come. After all, considering how Carol had treated Chloe before, if he were Chloe, Brayden wouldn't come either.
Putting down her phone, Chloe sighed as she thought, ' Time flies so fast. Brayden is getting married. Brayden probably doesn't like Carol that much, but from a business perspective, their families are the perfect match.'
"What's wrong, Chloe?" Cynthia asked.
"A friend of mine is getting married." Chloe said.
"What's his name? Do I know them?" Cynthia asked.
"You don't know him, Brayden Perez, a friend from when I was in Maple Valley." Chloe said.
"Alright." Cynthia said, then continued eating, as if the topic was over. But in reality, Cynthia thought, ' Brayden Perez? Also a Perez? What's his relationship with Dylan?'
