Chapter 109 I'll Marry Her

Faced with Zara's ridiculous question, Chloe was at a loss for words. While munching on her food, she rolled her eyes at her friend. "Seriously, stop it. I told you, none of them are into me."

Zara pouted and said softly, "I think Grant likes you the most."

Zara's words made Chloe blush again. She could definitely tell that Grant treated her differently; otherwise, he wouldn't be kissing her every chance he got.

She was acutely aware that Grant's feelings for her had long surpassed ordinary friendship. Whether it was his gentle care or his protection during each perilous situation, Chloe felt a special affection from him. Grant's repeated acts of warmth and closeness left her somewhat at a loss.

Even though she knew it, she still had to deny it in front of Zara. "Don't be ridiculous. Grant likes girls like Miss Thorne. There's no way he likes me."

Zara started laying out the facts again. "Of course he likes you, Chloe. Yesterday, he was freaking out on the phone arranging searches, yelling at Michael for being slow, and almost fighting with Liam over security. He even scolded the housekeeper, servants, and bodyguards. You should've seen how anxious he was. He really has a thing for you. Why not just marry him?"

Zara kept talking, making Chloe a bit speechless. She reminded Zara, "Zara, don't go overboard. Remember what I told you when I first came to Sovereign City? I came here to break off the engagement, to make them disgusted with me, not to marry into the Martin family. You said it yourself-it's the new century, and women shouldn't be bound by a marriage contract."
