Rural Belle & Three Heirs by Harper Hall

Chapter 255 For Whom to Remain Chaste?

Chloe was being kissed by Grant when she was startled by a faint clicking sound.

She buried her face in Grant's chest and whispered, "Grant, I think someone's taking pictures of us..."

"So what? We're in love, kissing out in the open. Who cares if someone snaps a few pics?" Grant said, gently rubbing Chloe's head.

Chloe blushed. "It's kinda embarrassing... Isn't it awkward?"

"As long as we're not embarrassed, the awkwardness is on them. Come on, Chloe, I'll give you a piggyback ride home." Grant bent down, signaling for Chloe to hop on his back.

Chloe hesitated for a moment. This felt oddly familiar, like a memory from her childhood of a boy whose face she couldn't quite remember giving her a piggyback ride.

Seeing Chloe hesitate, Grant urged, "Chloe, hurry up..."

Chloe climbed onto Grant's back, letting him carry her towards the Martin Family mansion.

Chloe was so light that Grant barely felt any weight as he carried her.

Back at the Martin Mansion, Chloe took a shower and then lay on her bed, video calling Nicholas.

Nicholas, who hadn't been in touch for several days, missed Chloe but still put on a serious face, asking about her studies and life. "Chloe, are you tired from school lately?"

"Grandpa, I'm not tired." Chloe replied.

She was in college now, so she didn't have to go to school every day like in middle and high school. She only needed to attend classes when she had them.
