Chapter 542 Family Bonds
Now, the information Cynthia had was Dylan once had an affair with Pamela. 'Who knows what the consequences will be if this gets out? Moreover, I need to pin it on Chloe.' she thought.
Seeing that Cynthia had calmed down, Chloe went home, while Jane was still at her own place.
"You finally came back. A busy bee. Are you staying home tonight?" Jane asked.
Chloe suddenly remembered she needed to talk to Donovan about the matter with Pamela tonight. "Of course not. I have something to discuss with Donovan tonight."
"Alright, Just admit you're addicted to him." Jane said while watching a show, snacking, and talking to Chloe.
"Don't talk nonsense. It's serious. I think you're the one who wants to sleep with a guy. By the way, you have a thing for Jeffery, right? Wait, I'll send you all the photos I have of him." Chloe then sent all the photos of Jeffery to Jane. "But let me tell you first. Jeffery pursued me before, but nothing happened between us. Don't mind that."
"Everyone has a first love." Jane said differently.
"Also, Jeffery's mom is a maid at Donovan's house. Don't look down on him because of that. Although Donovan and Jeffery's mom are friends, it doesn't change anything." Chloe informed Jane in advance.
"I'm marrying Jeffery, not his mom. I don't care who his mom is. Anyway, I think my future husband is quite handsome." With that, Jane started daydreaming, looking at Jeffery's photos on her phone.
"Jeffery won't be back for two years; everything will change." Chloe said.
Jane's smile faded immediately. "You don't get it. Because we haven't started, there's no risk. If we had started, then there'd be something to lose."
"But in two years, you'll be thirty," Chloe reluctantly pointed out.
Jane stopped eating her snacks. "Don't say that!"
"It doesn't change the fact you'll be thirty, nevertheless."
"Even at thirty, I can still get Jeffery. Besides, getting a young, handsome guy at my thirty is so great. Jeffery's skills in bed..." Jane daydreamed again.
Chloe got dressed and packed some clothes. "I'm leaving."
Just as she reached the door, Chloe received a message from the finance department's system: [A visit to Emerald Isle is scheduled for next month. Participants include: Professor Oscar, Professor Chloe, and Professor Donna. More detailed arrangements will be provided tomorrow.]
There were three professors in total. Among them, Chloe was the youngest, probably because she had studied at Emerald Isle before, so she was chosen to go this time.
Chloe thought, ' If I go to Emerald Isle as a visiting scholar, it will take at least a month. I won't see Francis for a month. I didn't miss him during the three years without seeing him, but now that I see him every day, I can't bear to be apart.'
After all, it was a mother-son bond.
Chloe suddenly thought of the real Pamela, Chloe's mother, and felt a heartache. Chloe and Pamela also shared a mother-son bond.
When she got home, Donovan and Francis were quietly sitting there, Francis drawing and Donovan reading.
"You're back?" Donovan looked up at Chloe.
"Yeah."
"Cynthia's okay?" Donovan asked.
"She's fine. I just feel like I've been caught in a trap by Cynthia." Chloe said, a bit confused. She didn't understand what Cynthia aimed to achieve by jumping off the building.
"What did you want to talk to me about tonight?" Donovan closed his book, not wanting to continue the topic of Cynthia. He knew very well what kind of person Cynthia was and what her intentions were.
Chloe glanced at Francis and signaled to Donovan with her eyes.
Donovan smiled. "Can't talk in front of Francis? What's the matter?"
"I can't say!" Chloe said sternly.
Since she couldn't talk about her background in front of Francis, Chloe recalled the afternoon. It was probably because of Donovan that Timothy didn't fall out with her over Cynthia. Indeed, Donovan had a lot of influence.
"If you can't say, then Mom, play a game of checkers with me." Francis said.
Chloe agreed.
They played five rounds back and forth, and then Francis, feeling sleepy, went to bed.
Chloe signaled to Donovan with her eyes, and they both went to bed.
