Rural Belle & Three Heirs by Harper Hall

Chapter 161 Can I Kiss You?

Just as Grant was plotting his revenge, Chloe turned around and tugged at his sleeve, pouting. "Grantie, please let me go check on them..." Chloe's voice was filled with pleading and innocence, like a little kitten that had made a mistake.

Grant's gaze remained icy, trying to maintain his stern demeanor, but Chloe didn't give up and continued to act coyly.

"I'm good friends with Zara and Rena. You can't let me get a reputation for abandoning a friend in need, can you?" She gently tugged at his sleeve, her voice soft and sweet, like a feather gently brushing across his heart.

"Grantie..." Chloe called his name again, with a hint of a coquettish drawl in her voice, completely hitting Grant's soft spot.

Chloe's soft words made Grant feel as if his head was filled with fluffy cotton, his thoughts becoming hazy and indistinct. He felt a wave of helplessness wash over him, the sternness and coldness in his heart instantly diminishing. In his mind, the echo of her sweet, tender "Grantie" persisted.

If Chloe had chosen to confront him with stubborn defiance, Grant might have been able to harden his heart and grab her to teach her a good lesson. However, faced with a Chloe who was softly pleading with innocent eyes, Grant found himself completely ensnared in her gentle trap.

But with her acting all cute and pleading, Grant was completely at a loss. It was undeniable that he had a weak spot for Chloe's coquettish behavior.

Even though his heart had softened, Grant still had to put on a stern face. He looked at Chloe with a cold expression. "You want to go check on your friends? Fine. But you messed up, and you need to be punished."

Chloe's heart started racing at Grant's words. Punished? How?

This was his car, and they were both sitting in the back seat. Grant's driver was in the front. Surely, Grant wouldn't do anything to embarrass himself in front of his driver, right?

He's the president of the Martin Group. He wouldn't do anything to damage his reputation.

With that thought, Chloe's courage grew, she looked Grant in the eye and said, "So, how do you plan to punish me?"

Just as Chloe finished speaking, the driver pressed a button, and a partition slid down from the car's ceiling, separating the front and back seats.

The space in the back was now very private, and Chloe started to panic.

Grant, seeing Chloe's panic, smirked. He leaned in close to her.
