Accidenttal One Night Stand with My Aloof Uncle-Chapter 589 - 599: Don’t Think of Me 9

Chloe Grant hardly slept a wink all night.

But the next day, she still took a cold shower, put on light makeup, and covered her dark circles.

While having breakfast with Lucas Morgan, Jacob Lee’s text came in: I’m already at your door, take your time to come down, no rush.

When Chloe Grant checked the message, Lucas Morgan happened to be nearby.

Chloe wasn’t the type to hide her messages, so Lucas Morgan naturally saw it.

He raised an eyebrow, "Jacob? You two have developed so quickly?"

Chloe looked back at him.

Lucas explained, "My mom, Grandma Gray, texted me about this yesterday, asking me to pay more attention. Because I’ve been recently working with Jacob Lee. He’s quite good, a gentleman, but kind of a sly fox... It’s just..."

The more Lucas talked, the more hesitant he became, pausing for a moment before gently saying, "So, are you really planning to give up, on... your relationship with him?"

Actually, Lucas also had regrets.

In this misaligned love story, he thought, with Chloe Grant being with Matthew Morgan, there would be some resolution for the regrets between him, Chloe Grant, and Matthew Morgan.

But...

In the end, they still went their separate ways.

Chloe’s eyes clearly dimmed, but she tried hard to smile, "Yes. But it was him who didn’t want this relationship."

She bravely maintained her smile, even though her eyes brimmed with tears, still forcing a smile, "But I’ve given up too. I want to start over."

Having made this decision, there’s no room for regret.

"Is Jacob Lee the right person for your new beginning?" Lucas asked.

Chloe shook her head and said honestly, "I don’t know. But... as he said, we’re just spending time together. If it’s right, we’ll be together, if not, we can be friends, or just strangers, it’s no big deal."

Chloe said as she put down her chopsticks, "He’s already waiting outside, I’ll be heading out now."

Lucas didn’t respond, just watched as Chloe picked up her bag and walked out.

His heart ached.

It ached for Chloe, and for himself.

...

Jacob Lee stood by the car smoking, and when Chloe came over, he naturally opened the passenger door for her.

Chloe glanced at the cigarette but said nothing, sitting down inside.

Jacob Lee closed the car door, circled to the driver’s seat, and then closed his door.

The car slowly started moving.

At the traffic light, he stubbed out his cigarette and turned to look at Chloe, "Put on your seatbelt, okay?"

Chloe was startled for a moment, then remembered the seatbelt.

In the past...

Whenever she got in, he would lean over to fasten it for her, she got used to it...

Chloe quickly shook her head, shaking off these thoughts.

If she was to let go, she would have to learn to live without him.

Endure everything.

Like... the smell of smoke.

"Sorry." Chloe smiled, pulling the seatbelt and fastening it.

As the car hit the road, Jacob lit another cigarette.

Chloe simply opened the window next to her.

Upon arriving, Jacob opened the car door for Chloe, "Do you like Japanese cuisine?"

"I quite like it." Chloe replied.

Jacob nodded, "I’ll pick you up at noon, let’s go have Japanese food."

"Okay." Chloe nodded, "I’ll head in now."

Jacob nodded, watching Chloe enter the building.

As luck would have it, as Chloe walked into the company entrance, she bumped into Lily Grant and some other colleagues.

"Oh, changing boyfriends again? And driving a Cayenne? That car costs over a million, doesn’t it?" The colleague with Lily Grant directly mocked.
