A Perfect Lie Hides Behind My Billionaire Marriage (reese and hudson)

Cole frowned. "Isn't this inappropriate? Reese is sick, and we're still going shopping?"

Chloe was a little angry. "When we were in Switzerland, I was afraid that Victoria would target me because I was close to you. Now, in Menkerios, you can't even accompany me shopping. Didn't you say we're good friends?"

Chloe knew full well that she and Cole were in a somewhat ambiguous situation. Under the guise of friendship, she could make some demands akin to those of a girlfriend.

She was patient, waiting for the moment when Cole couldn't hold back and would confess. Then, they would naturally progress toward a more intimate relationship.

They were just a step away from clarity. Cole was already quite indulgent with her, and she was almost considering herself his girlfriend.

Chloe had idyllic thoughts, but Cole hesitated for a moment and declined, saying, "No, at least when Reese is ill, I don't want to go shopping with you."

Chloe's expression immediately soured, and she started getting upset. "Cole, what do you mean?"

Cole remained silent.

Ava could no longer tolerate this and stepped forward as "Senior Smith."

Cole snapped back to attention and immediately turned to her, saying, "Ava, when did you get off the plane? Why didn't you call me?"

Ava was blunt and straightforward: "I just got off the plane."

Then, she turned directly to Chloe and said, "Miss Preston, Reese is sick, and Senior Hopkins is concerned. I hope you won't create unnecessary trouble."

Chloe was taken aback, her eyebrows furrowing so much they could crush a fly. "Miss Smith, what does this have to do with you?"
