Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 1133:

Once inside the pavilion, Chloe’s smile grew eager. “Connor, please sit down while I serve you the soup…”

But before she could finish her words, she froze. Her once shy, excited expression completely faltered under Aelfric’s cold stare.

Chloe had always been a master of subtle manipulation, stringing Aelfric along without making any binding promises, yet keeping him firmly under her spell.

She chased after Connor with unwavering determination, yet every time his rejection stung, she would effortlessly fall back on Aelfric, using his unwavering support and affection as a balm for her wounded pride.

But today, things had taken an unexpected turn, and Chloe found herself backed into a corner.

She knew Aelfric wasn’t easily fooled—he was sharp as a tack. The only reason she had managed to keep him enthralled for so long was his undeniable affection for her. No matter how often she stumbled, love had a way of blinding him to her flaws.
