Chapter 155 Grant's Teasing

Grant was always so serious, presenting himself as a paragon of virtue and propriety. His demeanor was impeccable, and his posture was always straight.

Seeing him like this, Zara couldn't help but admire him.

She tugged on Chloe's arm and whispered, "Hey, Chloe, Mr. Martin didn't look like this when he kissed you, did he? How does he switch so effortlessly between being passionate and serious?"

Zara's curiosity made Chloe roll her eyes. "Why don't you go ask him yourself?"

There was no way Zara would dare ask Grant. If she did, that would be truly reckless. She quickly waved her hands, her eyes wide with apprehension. "No way, I am scared," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. The thought of approaching Grant with such a question made her heart race, and she couldn't imagine facing his stern gaze while asking something so personal.

Chloe pulled Zara to the dining table, where the servants were meticulously serving the dishes, each plate arranged with precision and care. Liam, with a stiff expression, took his seat as well.

Chloe sat to Grant's left, Zara next to Chloe, and Liam across from Chloe.

Having been beaten up by Chloe earlier that afternoon, Liam's expression was less than pleasant. However, Chloe's prowess in the motorcycle world had somewhat changed his impression of her.

But Liam's attitude towards Zara was sour. His gaze hardened whenever it landed on her, his lips pressing into a thin line. He was convinced that Zara had been impersonating his goddess to mock him, making him look foolish in front of Chloe. The memory of his humiliation still burned in his mind, a sting to his pride that he couldn't easily forget.

Liam could tolerate losing money but not his face. His pride was fragile, easily bruised, and slow to heal.

Despite his displeasure, with Grant present, Liam didn't dare act out. Grant's presence was commanding, and his mere presence was enough to keep Liam in check.

Once the dishes were served, everyone began eating.

Chloe had a good appetite, drinking two bowls of soup in a row. Grant, worried she might not have enough, kept piling food onto her plate with a quiet, attentive diligence. He selected the choicest cuts of meat and the freshest vegetables, ensuring she had a balanced meal.

Chloe wanted to refuse, feeling slightly embarrassed by the attention. But at this moment, she didn't even dare to meet Grant's eyes. She could only passively accept the food Grant was offering her.
