Chapter 217 He Did Not Return All Night

"Left two hours ago? How did I not know?" Chloe muttered, puzzled, as she sat in her room with her laptop.

Grant's study was just about 30 feet from her bedroom, and he had to pass by her room to go downstairs.

She hadn't noticed when Grant left, which meant he must have been very quiet.

A woman's intuition told her that Grant was hiding something from her.

"Miss Davis, Mr. Martin mentioned in the staff group chat that he wouldn't be back for lunch. He specifically asked the chef to prepare some delicious dishes from the Northwest for you," Mia informed her.

"Miss Davis, Mr. Martin is so good to you," Mia added enviously, looking at Chloe.

Chloe smiled lightly and didn't say anything more.

She sat alone at the dining table, eating a lonely lunch. Halfway through her meal, she took a selfie and sent it to Grant.

[Grantie, the lunch today is really delicious... I wish you could be here with me.]

Had it been in the past, Grant would have replied to Chloe's message within two minutes, promptly and enthusiastically. However, today, the message seemed to have vanished into the void, with no response for an extended period.

Holding her phone, Chloe felt her heart sink, thoughts swirling in her mind. She couldn't understand Grant's sudden coldness, and it filled her with an inexplicable sadness that spread through her chest like a tide, leaving her feeling helpless.

In this moment of loneliness and confusion, Chloe heard a roaring sound from outside. It was Tony, who hadn't contacted her in a long time, arriving on his motorcycle. Seeing his familiar figure brought a slight sense of relief to her.

Tony stood outside the gates of The Martin Family villa, waving at Chloe with a bright smile. "Chloe, come out for a ride, let's go for a spin!"

Feeling a bit restless, Chloe eagerly agreed.

After quickly finishing her lunch, she went upstairs to change into her motorcycle gear. Soon, she was on Tony's bike, speeding away.
