Lucas Morgan was evidently a bit awkward, but facing his capricious and authoritarian elder brother, he couldn't resist.
Lily Grant's expression also froze for a moment, but she quickly smiled again, hooking Lucas Morgan's arm, smoothing things over, "Since cousin doesn't like it, it's best not to order it.
My cousin has always been picky, you know. Like the last time we went to that adult store, she had to check several places to choose the best one before... ah!"
Lily Grant suddenly gasped halfway through her sentence, covering her mouth in annoyance, looking at Lucas Morgan innocently as if saying she misspoke.
Chloe Grant's eyes widened in shock that Lily Grant would reveal such a private matter between two close friends.
Looking at her, appearing helpless and pitiful, her eyes seemed to say she wasn't doing it on purpose.
But Chloe Grant only wanted to curse: Screw you!
"Adult store?" Lucas Morgan was shocked yet didn't forget to comfort Lily Grant, signaling it was okay.
He took out a cigarette and lighter from the pack, lit it, and inhaled deeply.
He looked at Chloe Grant, shaking his head with a smile, "Little girl, you've got some nerve. What, did you fancy some pretty boy who didn't like you back, so you bought drugs to sleep with him?"
After all, having cared for the child for ten years, Lucas Morgan could tell at once.
But his words stabbed Chloe Grant, driving her to the brink of madness.
That person was you!
After everything that happened yesterday.
Yet, in the blink of an eye, you show up with another woman flaunting your relationship and mocking me...
Lucas Morgan, you're a bastard!
Chloe Grant couldn't say a word, her eyes already red with tears held back with all her might.
In the end, she couldn't hold on anymore, slammed the table and stood up, "I'm going to the restroom."
Turning away, fleeing from the private room as if escaping.
Even though there was a restroom inside the private room.
"That little girl, when she goes crazy, she can do anything." Lucas Morgan frowned, though his words were scolding, it was clear he still cared.
But just after he spoke, he felt a shiver all over.
Turning his head, he met a pair of cold, dangerous eyes, Lucas Morgan felt a jolt, the first reaction was to look down at his tie.
Sure enough, it was crooked.
He hurriedly adjusted his tie, extinguishing the cigarette.
...
By the time Chloe Grant rushed to the restroom, her face was already covered in tears.
She looked at her disheveled self in the mirror, crying silently.
She reached out, touching the mirror, mocking herself, Chloe Grant, look at yourself, how pathetic can you be!
Chloe Grant thought she and Lucas Morgan had mutual feelings, it was just the nominal uncle-niece relationship that made them hesitate to express themselves.
But at that moment, she realized, what mutual feelings, it was just her wishful thinking.
Slept with Lucas Morgan?
So what?
Just like his tone just now, in his eyes, she's just a casual person.
Only someone like Lily Grant is his treasure.
She's just a casual person...
Ha.
Casual and disgraceful.
Haha, hahaha.
Chloe Grant started to laugh at herself in the mirror.
She was so heartbroken that when the restroom door opened, Lily Grant walked in without her even noticing, exposing her own sorry state.
"Cousin, don't be sad." Lily Grant expressed concern, coming over.
Chloe Grant was suddenly startled, and just as Lily Grant's hand was about to touch hers, she quickly broke away.
She turned her head, looking at the seemingly gentle and innocent cousin before her with hatred.
