Entangled in the Night: Unable to Escape Him-Chapter 99: Chloe Nash Makes Dinner for Jett Sterling

Chapter 99: Chapter 99: Chloe Nash Makes Dinner for Jett Sterling

Seeing this, Jett Sterling could no longer control himself.

He hugged the diary tightly to his chest and burst into tears.

Chloe Nash not only didn’t resent him for the Sterling Family’s harm to her, but she also gave him all the blessings she had accumulated.

Just how much did she love him to do such a thing.

Jett always thought his love for Chloe was fierce and unwavering.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been unable to forget her after so many years since their breakup.

But compared to Chloe’s love, his was as light as a feather.

He couldn’t love as deeply as Chloe despite having endured so much grievance.

Jett just felt as if his heart was being pierced with shards of glass.

The fractured pain made it hard for him to breathe at times.

Chloe saw his agony and didn’t know how to comfort him.

Her voice was a bit choked: "Jett, before Chloe died, she told me to live well for her, to see the world she couldn’t finish exploring, and in spirit, she’d not want to see you in such pain; she hopes for you to forget the past and start a new life."

Hearing this, Jett slowly lifted his head.

His eyes, originally deep and profound, were now bloodshot.

"How can I forget her and start a new life? Without her, my world is in darkness."

Chloe’s eyes moistened: "I’m sorry. If she hadn’t saved me, you wouldn’t be in this situation. Seeing you in such pain makes me feel guilty, like how I once felt I let down the Nash Family parents.

So, I became like Chloe and came back to them, just wanting to replace Chloe to care for them.

But for you, I can do nothing except offer comfort."

A daughter repaying her parents’ nurturing grace—that she could help Chloe achieve.

But she couldn’t love Jett on Chloe’s behalf.

Jett looked at her painfully: "Rest assured, I won’t do anything to you. The person I love is Chloe, the Chloe who shared four years of affection with me. Her love for me was so intense, I won’t fall for someone else because of a mere face.

Your life was saved by her; I won’t do anything to harm you. I’ll continue to protect her secret for Chloe—you can carry on being Chloe without worry."

Hearing these words, Chloe’s heart ached.

It hurt seeing how deeply Jett and Chloe loved each other but couldn’t be together.

And seeing Jett say these words moved her painfully.

He didn’t blame his pain on losing his beloved on her but instead agreed to protect the real Chloe’s secret.

Chloe’s tears uncontrollably rolled down her cheeks.

Her voice was somewhat hoarse: "Thank you, but I don’t know how to comfort you. You probably haven’t had dinner yet. I’ll go to the kitchen to make you a bowl of noodles. I hope you take good care of yourself and stop tormenting yourself like this."

Finished, she stood up and walked into the kitchen.

Leaving the space to Jett.

Jett had drunk a lot; she couldn’t just leave him there alone.

He could protect her secret for Chloe; she could help him out of his pain for Chloe.

——

Silas Prescott had just finished a meeting when the assistant came in with an invitation.

"President Prescott, Riverton University’s centennial celebration is this Saturday, and they’ve invited you to attend."

Silas looked at him with indifference: "Do you think I’m very free?"

The assistant hurriedly shook his head in fear: "I know you usually don’t attend such events, but Dr. Nash, as an outstanding graduate of the Medical School, is also invited, along with Jett Sterling."

Hearing this, a faint glimmer passed through Silas’s otherwise calm eyes.

He stared at the assistant for a few seconds and then asked, "How much did Jett donate?"

"President Sterling personally donated a lab building to the Medical School, valued at a hundred million."

Silas let out a light chuckle from his throat.

A finance school graduate donating to the Medical School.

How could he not see Jett’s intention?

Was he trying to make the whole school ship him and Chloe again?

Wishful thinking.

How could he let him have his way?

Silas’s long fingers lightly tapped the table, his tone unhurried.

"In my name, donate a library to Riverton University with a budget of two hundred million, to be named ’The Paxton Pavilion.’

The assistant couldn’t help but internally comment.

The Paxton Pavilion.

Isn’t it obvious it’s a donation for Miss Sienna Paxton?

Their president hadn’t even confirmed Chloe was Sienna yet was already openly competing.

Having just dealt with Albie, now he’s contending with Jett.

This love rivalry is truly something to watch.

He immediately nodded: "Alright, I’ll get on that. You have a dinner with President Sawyer of MN Group tonight—they’re asking what time it can start."

Silas was about to answer when suddenly a message from Julian Prescott appeared on his phone.

[Dad, Mom is missing.]

Silas: [What do you mean missing? Weren’t you always with her?]

Julian: [Mom got a call from Uncle Sterling and left me with my aunt and hasn’t returned. Her phone is unreachable. Will she abandon me?]

Seeing this, an alarm went off in Silas’s mind.

He always knew that ever since Jett found out the reason for his and Chloe’s breakup, he was always looking for a chance to reunite with her.

He had managed with effort to send Albie away; how could he let Jett succeed?

Silas immediately took out his phone and called Chloe.

The phone rang for a long time before being answered.

Silas’s voice was urgent: "Chloe, where are you?"

After a while, there was finally a voice.

But it wasn’t Chloe’s voice; it was Jett’s.

His voice was extremely hoarse.

"She’s cooking for me."

Upon hearing this, Silas, like a madman, immediately rushed out of his office.

His voice was filled with an uncontainable gloom.

"Where are you?"

"At my place."
