Chapter 95 She Always Irritates Me
That night, when Chloe was taking a shower, Donovan sent a WhatsApp message to his assistant, asking him to check Chloe's situation at school.
After Chloe got into bed, she hid under the covers to keep warm. It was just the beginning of winter, and the heating in her house hadn't completely warmed up yet, so she was feeling quite cold after taking a shower.
"So, why did you come to New East Group?" Donovan asked, looking at her in his arms.
Chloe hesitated for a moment. "The whole Maple Valley knows that you're handsome."
"Really? Did you have your eye on me from the start?" Donovan said.
Chloe giggled, deciding not to bring up this matter.
The next day, while Chloe was still at work, HS Tailor Shop sent two shirts to her office. One was dark gray, and the other was a clear sky blue, made according to her measurements from last time.
The shop assistant was waiting in Chloe's office, asking if it was convenient for her to try them on. If there were any fitting issues, they could take them back and make alterations, which would only take an afternoon.
Chloe thought for a moment. She felt that Donovan had never worn this clear sky blue color before, and since he was very particular, he might end up returning it. She decided to let him have a look.
She sent Donovan a WhatsApp message: "HS Tailor Shop sent you two shirts. They want you to try them on. If they don't fit well, they will make alterations."
"Bring them up," Donovan replied.
Chloe asked the shop assistant to wait in the meeting room as she took the two shirts and went to Donovan's office.
Unexpectedly, there was a middle-aged woman in Donovan's office that Chloe didn't recognize. The woman was staring at Chloe, giving her an unfriendly look.
"These are the shirts. I brought them up because you haven't worn this color before, and I was afraid you might not like it," Chloe said, placing the neatly folded shirts on the table.
The shirts were neatly folded, and the D&C logo could be seen at a glance.
"What do you think?" Donovan looked up at Chloe next to him.
"Well," Chloe lowered her eyelids and looked at the shirt, "I think it should be good. You look good in anything you wear."
Donovan smiled. "That's sweet of you to say."
"I'm being serious," Chloe retorted seriously, thinking to herself: What's wrong with Donovan? He even said the word "sweetheart." It may be cheesy, but it's also somewhat endearing.
Donovan didn't argue with Chloe, "Go try it on for me."
"Where?" Chloe asked, glancing at the middle-aged woman sitting there again.
In fact, if there was no one else around, Donovan could have tried it on in his own office.
"The restroom. Come with me," Donovan said. He brushed past Chloe, making her turn around, and led her to the restroom.
After closing the door, Chloe asked Donovan to bend down. She tiptoed and whispered in his ear, "Who's out there?"
(Note: The translation provided is a direct translation and may not fully capture the nuances of the original Chinese text.
Chloe thought to herself, "What if it's a relative of Donovan's? Have I acted impulsively?"
"Don't worry about it. They're not important," Donovan began to change his clothes.
Chloe seemed accustomed to helping Donovan change, and her movements were natural and skilled.
As she changed his clothes, she whispered, "I thought it might be a female relative from his family. It startled me."
"What are you afraid of?" Donovan asked her. "Afraid of meeting the in-laws?"
Chloe remained silent, but a sweet emotion welled up inside her.
She didn't know if she had in-laws or where they were.
"Check yourself in the mirror, does it look good?" Chloe said.
Chloe stood behind Donovan and looked at the person in the mirror. He was handsome and had a strong and tall physique that could charm any woman.
How did she get so lucky as to share a bed with this man?
Of course, she knew that things that didn't belong to her would never truly belong to her. She would eventually wake up from this dream, but it was nice to dream a little longer.
"It's good," Donovan said, and then unbuttoned his shirt.
As Chloe helped him change, she said, "Shall I tell him that this color can be ordered from now on? Should I leave the shirt with you?"
"Go ahead," he replied.
Chloe left the restroom and nodded at the middle-aged woman with an unfriendly expression before leaving.
"This is your daughter-in-law?" the middle-aged woman said. "She looks virtuous and takes care of people well. You must be very comfortable being taken care of by her."
Her tone was sharp and sarcastic, implying that Donovan had found Chloe to be a maid.
"On the contrary, she often gets angry at me," Donovan placed the shirt neatly on the couch and smiled slightly from the bottom of his heart.
The middle-aged woman glanced at the shirt and noticed the brand logo on the collar: D&C.
It was a hand-embroidered brand logo, very chic, retro, and classic.
If she remembered correctly, Donovan's wife's name was Chloe.
"By the way, Donovan, please don't forget my request," she said. "Also, this is a personal request that Xue Mo doesn't know about. The house doesn't need to be in my name, just put it in yours."
She was Paisley's mother, Duan Lianyi.
"I know. I have a new house on the east side of the river. You can move in anytime. I'll have someone send you the keys later," Donovan smiled, but it was a vacant smile without any warmth.
"Okay, thank you, Donovan. I feel like I'm getting old and always staying in Pearl Peak City, away from Xue Mo, which weighs on my heart. Also, about your uncle..." Duan Lianyi's voice trailed off as tears welled up in her eyes.
"Don't mention my uncle," Donovan's voice lowered.
After returning home, Duan Lianyi met with Paisley and specifically mentioned the incident of Chloe asking Donovan to try on the shirt. The shirt Donovan is currently wearing seems to be custom-made by Chloe, with the D&C logo on it.
Paisley plopped down on the couch, looking genuinely upset. Donovan not only refused to wear the clothes she had custom-made for him, but also gave away the clothes she had given him. And now he's actually wearing the shirt that Chloe, that plain Jane, gave him, which cost two thousand dollars!
What kind of taste does Donovan have?
"Oh, by the way, Mom, we need to move into the house Donovan gave us as soon as possible. After all, it's in his name," Paisley said, unable to make her plan work and coming up with a new one.
"No problem, Donovan said that the house is fully furnished and ready to move in," her mother replied.
"Oh, right, you must never mention what happened six years ago in front of Chloe. It turns out that Chloe is that annoying girl who never takes the easy way out. Just remember, don't bring it up, and it would be best if you can prevent her from mentioning it in front of Donovan either. If she does, we're finished," Paisley said.
"I understand," Duan Lianyi's expression also became very serious.
