A Billion-Rich Woman Was Chased by Her EX-Husband

Chapter 144

“Why is it you” Chloe was stunned.

Combined with her freckles and the disheveled chicken nest atop her head, she exuded a certain cuteness.

“Can’t I be your blind date” Jerome lightly curved his lily-shaped thin lips, his eyes curved into two enchanting crescents as he asked

Chloe purses her lips, unsure of how to reply.

The question was very straightforward.

The gentle smile on his face softened the awkward atmosphere, making Chloe feel that this was just a harmless joke.

“May I take a seat Jerome inquired politely.

“Please have a seat,” Chloe responded in an effortless and elegant way.

The Fourth Young Master Xavier who had come to visit her today was just as refined and elegant as the first time they had met. He was wearing a navy blue striped, high-definition suit and gold-rimmed glasses, exuding an air of sophistication without compromising on the gentlemanly charm.

“Miss Thorp, your look today is very chic and has a lot of character.”

“However.” Jerome narrowed his eyes, “in my presence, you don’t have to put on an act. Just be yourself.”

“I recall that you’re not my blind date,” Chloe coughed awkwardly, so why are you here?”

“I know you want to see me again, and I feel the same way, Jerome said, adjusting his glasses and smiling calmly.

It was an inconceivable sentence, like a secret wind and moon.

“It’s not too shabby. After our last encounter, I was really intrigued by who you are, so I’m really looking forward to seeing

you again

Suddenly, Chloe raised her piercing gaze and fixed it on him. Jerome Xavier, Fourth Young Master Xavier.”

Jerome’s deep eyes narrowed, and his hands, trembling slightly on his knees, betrayed his strong joy. Softly, he spoke.

“Chloe, it’s been a while.”

Chloe was taken aback for a moment and courteously responded, “It’s been a while.
