Chapter 81 Jake Deserves It

Icarus pondered for a moment before saying solemnly, “Not yet, Chloe. Someday, maybe, but not now.”

Yesterday, he had learned many things, including how the Johnsons had treated her in the past. He had visited her at the hospital because he did not have the courage to tell her that he was Jake’s uncle.

He worried that his relationship with Jake would push Chloe away from him. He had no intention to come to the engagement party today, but while he was at lunch today, he figured that Chloe might come so he came to check on her. To his surprise, she really was here.

Chloe could not quite understand his concern. She shrugged indifferently and said, “It’s okay. Whatever relationship I had with the Johnsons and Jake is in the past. You don’t have to worry.”

Furthermore, Icarus and Chloe were simply friends. Even if Icarus was related to Jake, it would not matter as they simply would not have any further contact in the future. What she was unaware of was that the more she acted indifferent, the more it pained Icarus.

She had clearly suffered so much, yet she brushed off the scars of the past so lightly. If their current circumstances allowed it, Icarus would have loved nothing more than to embrace her and offer her comfort.

In the end, Icarus raised his hand and patted Chloe’s shoulder. “If Jake or the Johnsons. ever bully you again, tell me. I’ll help you get revenge.”

“You don’t have to help me get revenge. Just don’t stop me,” she said playfully as she smiled.

Icarus smiled back at her. “Anything you say.”
