Chapter 552 You Want to Control This Too?
Donovan knew that Chloe had just transferred money to Brayden. But Donovan didn't ask.
After three years, facing the topic of a rival in love again, the two of them were no longer like they used to be. After all, they had just gotten together, and Donovan didn't want to start a conflict.
After transferring the money, Chloe noticed that the chat with Jane was at the top of her WhatsApp, but Chloe remembered she hadn't texted Jane.
Chloe opened it, seeing several messages from Jane on WhatsApp.
Jane: [Bad woman, are you home yet? Sobered up yet?]
Jane: [I'm counting on you for the thing with Jeffery.]
Jane: [Bad woman, what does the guy you kissed and hugged look like? Send me a photo. Is he more handsome or Donovan? I bet he's not as handsome as Donovan.]
Chloe saw that none of Jane's messages had new message marks, asking, "Did you read my WhatsApp?"
"Your phone kept ringing, so I muted it for you." Donovan said nonchalantly, his head buried in a book.
Donovan seemed to not care about this at all.
Chloe still didn't know that Donovan had once met Derek.
Chloe always thought that Donovan didn't know Derek existed.
Chloe wanted to explain something but ultimately didn't. In the end, Chloe said, "Jane is so hateful, always talking nonsense."
"She is quite hateful." Donovan said.
Chloe gave a fake smile and continued to lie in bed pretending to sleep.
Donovan's phone rang; it was Timothy.
"Mr. Blake, are you free on Monday? If so, come to Pearl Peak City. Let's talk about the Rebecca Residential Community project, and I have something else to discuss with you."
Regarding Chloe, Timothy originally planned to talk to Donovan at the next meeting, but Timothy felt that Cynthia was like a ticking time bomb, who was ready to jump off a building again at any moment. The Rebecca Residential Community was Timothy's entire fortune, and he couldn't afford to fail. Timothy hadn't slept well for several days and called Donovan today.
"Monday?" Donovan thought for a moment. The New East Group held a regular meeting every Monday, and he rarely went to Pearl Peak City on Mondays, but since Chloe was here, Donovan said, "Okay."
"Who is it?" Chloe asked after Donovan hung up the phone.
"Do you have to know everything?"
"Fine. I was just bored and asking."
"Timothy."
Chloe was puzzled for a moment, then picked up her phone to check WhatsApp, but it was quiet. No one was talking in the small group of the Stellar Corp.
"Why did they ask you to the meeting and not me?" she asked.
"Like I said, you're not at that level yet." Donovan said lightly.
Chloe pouted and turned her back to Donovan.
Francis came in and saw Chloe lying on the bed, so he climbed onto the bed too. "Mom, are you feeling better? You were drunk earlier, and Dad carried you back."
"Really?" Chloe guessed it was probably like that.
"Mom, you're not leaving, right? Did you come back this time to see Francis?" Francis asked.
"Yes."
"Can I sleep in your bed with Dad tonight? I've never slept with you guys before." Francis requested.
"Sure." Chloe said.
So, Francis slept between them that night, talking with Chloe late into the night, and Chloe found this child really adorable.
Chloe thought of her biological mother again, wondering, 'How is she now? Having lost her child, she must be heartbroken, staying in the attic day and night. I really want to see her, but I am afraid Pamela would stop me.'
Because Francis was in the room, Donovan surprisingly didn't bother Chloe that night.
