Chapter 548 Learned to Be Hypocritical
Donovan's thoughts were quite similar to Jane's, 'Jane must be trying to pursue Jeffery. First, she needs to win over Maya, and then she'll have an eighty percent possibility of success. If Jane comes over, Chloe has to be home; otherwise, Jane won't have a reason to come. I have to admit, Jane is very clever.'
Maya went to open the door for Jane.
When Jane saw Maya, her eyes lit up instantly. She pulled Maya aside without putting down the luggage first, "Maya, Chloe knows she was wrong about Jeffery, but she's too embarrassed to apologize , so she asked me to apologize on her behalf. Maya, please forgive Chloe. This whole thing was done by Cynthia. Cynthia framed Jeffery, but Jeffery is a good person and didn't hold it against her. He's so responsible. I'm sure he'll get promoted quickly in the military."
Maya glanced at Chloe on the sofa, her anger somewhat dissipated, and Jane's words were quite pleasing to hear.
Maya already knew that Chloe was a good person, who would never have sent Jeffery to the army.
"Maya, take these." Jane used this excuse to give Maya a lot of nutritional supplements and a piece of clothing.
Maya softened, feeling a bit hesitant, thinking these gifts were too expensive.
"Look at this piece of clothing. No one else in this house can wear it but you." Jane added. "Try it on first. If it doesn't fit, I'll exchange it for you."
Finally, Maya nodded. "Alright."
Seeing Maya take the items back to her room, Jane felt quite pleased with herself.
Jane had intentionally bought the clothes for Maya, and she had intentionally chosen a larger size. Only by this could Jane have a reason to come back to the Blake family to exchange them.
Jane sat down next to Chloe, grumbling, "It would be great if you lived in Maple Valley. I could find an excuse to come over every Saturday. But you're always in Pearl Peak City, and I have to check your schedule every time."
"You two chat." With that, Donovan went back to the bedroom.
"Look at the mess you've made, making me clean up after you." Jane said.
"What?" Chloe asked.
"I said I apologized to Maya on your behalf. And I bought Maya clothes that are larger size, so I have a reason to come back next time." Jane said.
Chloe thought, ' No wonder Jane said she could kill two birds with one stone last time. She not only helps me smooth things over with Maya but also finds an excuse for herself. I have never seen anyone as shrewd as Jane. Jeffery will surely be won over by Jane sooner or later.'
"I don't have much to do today. How about we have dinner with Sofia? The three of us haven't gotten together in years." Chloe suggested.
"Sure, but let's wait a while. I want to wait for Maya to change the clothes. Once she exchanges them, I'll have an excuse for next time. But I come over often, aren't you afraid I'll seduce Donovan? However, I'm here to make nice with Maya for you, so Donovan should welcome me." Jane said, linking arms with Chloe.
"What do I have to worry about? Let's go out for lunch. Eating at night will make us gain weight." Chloe said.
"Alright." Jane agreed readily.
"I'll let Donovan know." Chloe said, then shouted upstairs. "Donovan, Donovan."
Donovan didn't answer, probably didn't hear.
"Wait for me a moment." With that, Chloe quickly went upstairs. "You go ahead and message Sofia on WhatsApp."
"You don't need to tell me; I'm already on it." Jane said.
When Chloe got upstairs, she found Donovan lying on the bedroom recliner with his eyes closed, looking relaxed.
"I want to have lunch with Sofia and Jane." Chloe said, adding, "Do you want to come?"
Chloe knew Donovan wouldn't go; she was just asking out of courtesy.
Donovan opened his eyes. "Learned how to put on a show now?"
"How am I putting on a show ?" Chloe said.
"I'm not going, but you just got home and now you are heading out to eat. Is home just a pit stop to you?" Donovan asked.
"That's not what I mean. I came back without informing in advance, and I'm afraid Maya isn't prepared. Plus, Jane is here. Preparing meals for these people won't be easy. I'll take Francis to eat with us, and you can have your own space, okay?" Chloe asked again.
"Go ahead." Donovan said, closing his eyes and leaning back in the chair to rest. "But don't take Francis. Francis doesn't eat spicy food."
Chloe thought, ' Donovan really knows me well. I am indeed planning to have some spicy Mexican food for lunch.'
"Then I won't take Francis. I'm leaving now, okay?" Chloe asked.
Donovan didn't respond.
