Chapter 543 He's Still Sleeping
"What is it that Francis absolutely can't hear?" Donovan asked mischievously.
"An elderly man came to the school today to see me and tell me something. I think I need to tell you about it." Chloe said, biting her lip lightly.
"Go ahead. I'm all ears"
They leaned against the headboard, and Chloe began to tell Donovan the details. When the elderly man first started, Chloe thought it sounded like a horror story. But as she recounted it to Donovan, she couldn't help but get emotional. When she got to the part about her mother being taken to the attic and her baby being given away by Pamela, Chloe broke down in tears, crying uncontrollably.
Chloe's background had always been a mystery, but now it was unraveling.
After Chloe had finished talking, it was late at night, and Chloe's voice was hoarse.
Chloe pressed her face against her knees, avoiding Donovan's gaze. Probably embarrassed to let Donovan see her crying face, Chloe felt awkward.
"Is it Dylan again?" Unexpectedly, Donovan picked up on that detail.
"Neil wants me to go back to Emerald Isle with him." Chloe finally said.
It was clear that Chloe avoided mentioning that Neil was Derek's father when talking to Donovan.
But Donovan wasn't shocked at all, unlike Chloe who was so emotional.
Chloe looked up at Donovan. "You're not allowed to go to Emerald Isle!" Donovan said.
"Why?" Chloe, exhausted, curled up under the covers and looked up at Donovan.
If Chloe had known Donovan would be so controlling, she wouldn't have told him. Once Donovan said "no," it would be hard for Chloe to go.
"You can't get involved in that mess." he said.
"But—"
Suddenly, Donovan leaned down and kissed Chloe on the lips, making her go numb, and Donovan's hands roamed over Chloe's body.
"Is two billion dollars a lot? I have two billion dollars." Donovan's voice was ambiguous, like spring flowers blooming on Chloe's lips and ears. Chloe was so immersed that her voice lost all strength. Donovan's lips brushed across Chloe's face, teasing her, making her voice catch in her throat, his hands exploring her body.
Chloe panted softly. "You know it's not about the money. I want to see my biological mother. She's gone mad and is being held captive. We share the same blood."
"No!" Donovan intensified his kiss.
Chloe said nothing more, completely under Donovan's spell, all her defenses retracted, without any aggression. Chloe wrapped her arms around Donovan's neck and kissed him back.
Chloe knew Donovan was afraid she would be in danger. After all, Pamela was now in Emerald Isle. How Chloe would get there was still unknown, and with Pamela involved in criminal activities, Chloe might not even get to see her mother.
Most importantly, Donovan believed that since Chloe had never met her biological mother, there was no real bond. Blood relation alone meant nothing.
Although Chloe was unwilling, she had no better solution.
The next day, Chloe woke up in Donovan's arms again, like being in a warm furnace, a feeling she never wanted to leave.
Chloe opened her eyes, seeing that Donovan was still asleep.
Up close, Donovan's eyelashes were so long, his lips thin, his face tight and without a trace of excess flesh, not looking like a thirty-six-year-old at all. He could easily pass for someone in their twenties.
Chloe reached out and touched Donovan's eyelashes, but he didn't wake up.
