Accidenttal One Night Stand with My Aloof Uncle-Chapter 539: Cloudy’s Biological Mother 9

"Chloe, go ahead and cry, Uncle will always be here."

He whispered in her ear.

Tears welled up in Chloe Grant’s eyes uncontrollably, but she forced them back.

She shook her head, struggling out of Lucas Morgan’s embrace, "No...I can’t cry! I can’t be like this! It’s immature!"

Chloe Grant wiped the tears from her face, taking deep breaths to control her emotions.

Lucas Morgan watched silently, his brows slightly furrowed.

Chloe has changed...

She wasn’t like this before.

Maybe because Isabella Gray and the Morgan family brothers spoiled her since she was young, Chloe Grant wasn’t very obedient, often childish and immature, quite capricious, and mostly followed her own will.

But now, she was constantly forcing herself to be mature.

Lucas Morgan could see the pressure, feeling genuinely heartbroken inside.

"Chloe..." he spoke softly, placing his hand gently on Chloe Grant’s shoulder, "You don’t need to wrong yourself like this. A good relationship should let you stay like a child forever, not force you to grow up. That’s not what a good relationship is.

Perhaps..."

He paused for a moment, but finally said the words, "You and my brother aren’t suited for each other."

"But in a relationship, one cannot just expect the other to give, to love them, or to change for them. That’s only the ideal form of love.

True love means both parties compromise and grow together.

There’s never been a thing as suitable or not in love—only love or no love."

Chloe Grant smiled, "There is a big gap between Uncle Morgan and me. The age, experiences, and personalities... these are all issues between us. I admit I’m immature, so I have to learn to be understanding, patient, and not impulsive or rushed.

This issue, I have to wait until he comes back and ask him personally."

"I should not be impulsive, not make hasty conclusions, I must stay calm!"

That last sentence was entirely Chloe Grant adjusting herself, speaking to herself.

"But..."

Lucas Morgan furrowed his brow, feeling heartache for her.

Chloe Grant stood up, smiling, "Let’s not stay out too long, otherwise Grandma Gray might ask, and then I’ll have to come up with an excuse to lie.

Lying to her often... is not good."

Chloe Grant mumbled as she walked back inside.

Lucas Morgan stood there, watching her retreating figure, his eyes deep.

He never thought that the willful and childish little niece in his memory would one day grow up and become mature.

But her growing up wasn’t because of experiences, or anything else, but to... get closer and more suitable for another man.

Lucas Morgan felt very complicated at this moment.

There was some sense of relief, indeed.

But mostly, it was heartache and... sadness.

...

When Chloe Grant returned inside, the living room was lively with conversation.

It was clear that Isabella Gray really liked Thea Yates, but she still felt a bit apologetic towards Michael Taylor.

Michael Taylor, however, was sitting quietly as usual, unchanged.

Only when no one was paying attention would her brows slightly furrow, evidently troubled.

Chloe Grant walked over and sat beside Michael Taylor.

George Stern glanced at her, with a hint of meaning in his eyes.

"Chloe, I want to go to the restroom, can you come with me?" Michael Taylor spoke softly.

Chloe Grant nodded.

As the two stood up, Isabella Gray teased with a smile, "I can tell you two have a good relationship."

This reassured her.
