Chapter 56



After starting the car, Chloe rolled down the window. She looked up at Lucas and flashed a smile. "Lucas, this time, I'm really letting you go. I wish you and Linda all the happiness in the world."

Then, the car sped away from the Moncada Estate. Lucas stood in the yard for what felt like an eternity. When she used to cling to him, he genuinely loathed it. But now that she was gone, it felt like there was a hole in his heart. He thought about that smile of hers as she left, so peaceful, neither sad nor happy, as if she had let go of all their past grievances, and it somehow made him feel even more stifled.

"Chloe, can you really let go of us?" he wondered. "Or is this just an act for everyone?"

Chloe drove straight to the Greenpeace Estate after leaving Moncada. She parked the car in the yard. It was already late, but all the lights in the house were on. Soon, a tall figure emerged from inside. Chloe couldn't help but laugh at the sight of him.

"Mr. Connor, what are you up to?"

Connor glanced down at the apron he was wearing and grinned. "I made dinner. I was waiting for you to come back."

Chloe raised an eyebrow. "You can cook? No, wait. How did you know I would come back today?"

Connor smiled slightly, and his usually cool eyes seemed a bit warmer. "A man's intuition."

Chloe didn't press further; she popped open the trunk. "Mind helping me with the luggage?"
