Chloe Grant and Lucas Morgan didn't bicker like they used to today.
Even if they exchanged a few teasing remarks, it was only a few, and the atmosphere between them was evidently awkward.
The main reason was that Chloe Grant still hadn't fully let go of her inner conflict. Pretending as if nothing had happened was already exhausting for her, and she really couldn't manage to act cheerful.
Matthew Morgan, on the other hand, remained as quiet as ever. Whether they were awkward or noisy, as long as they didn't disturb him, it was fine.
After dinner, Chloe Grant was about to leave when her phone rang.
She didn't stop walking away, and seeing the series of numbers with no caller ID, she knew it was a call from her parents all the way abroad.
They hadn't called Chloe Grant for several days either.
As she answered the phone, she quickly made her way to her villa, opened the door, didn't even bother closing it, kicked off her shoes, and headed towards the sofa.
