Chapter 25

Chloe's POV:

Henry came back by car at two o'clock last night and left at half-past six this morning. Since he knew that he still had work to do this morning, why did he spend more than four hours driving back and forth? Did he just come to see me?

Thinking of this, my heart began to beat fast...

Today's breakfast was very sumptuous. While enjoying the delicious food, I was missing Henry. I found that I began to like him.

The activities this morning were also very rich, but I was not in a good state all morning, so I hardly participated in activities.

I didn't have an appetite during lunch.

Joy said, "What's wrong with you today? Didn't you see the big boss? Are you in low spirits?"

Only then did I realize why I lost my spirits today. I retorted instinctively, "What are you talking about? I'm pregnant now! Of course, I'm not in a good state!"

Joy didn't continue to ask, "I thought you would be confused by Mr. William in two days!"

"No!" I continued to refute.

In fact, I've admitted that I've fallen in love with Henry.

But that's my character.

Before I confirm my relationship with Henry, I may be able to maintain this state all the time.

I don't like a one-sided confirmation of feelings.

Just like my mother, everyone knows how much she loves my father.

But everyone knew how much my father disliked her.

The person who paid too much seemed to be the one who was always injured.

I don't want to be too active.

While I was chatting with Joy, a female colleague came over and said with a smile, "Joy, Chloe, you not only have a free trip this time but also earned several thousand bucks.

Should you treat our colleagues in the finance department when come back?"

As soon as these words came out, several colleagues of the finance department came over and said that I and Joy had earned their money and asked us to spend money to comfort their wounded hearts.

Joy laughed as she sat down. "If we're willing to bet, we'll admit defeat, okay? We were the ones who bet on the fact that Mr. William came to the resort, and the one you bet on is Mr. William won't come!"

"You guys are too petty, aren't you? Each of you has won four to three thousand dollars, and each of you can take out a little to treat us to barbecue!" colleague B stood up and teased.

Joy was about to say something when I patted her on the shoulder, stood up, and said in a loud voice, "It's just a treat. It's a piece of cake. Barbecure is great. You guys can't change the menu!"

"Just barbecue and beer!" said colleagues.

"Okay, tomorrow night!" I said boldly.

At this moment, the atmosphere suddenly became serious.

Before I could react, a colleague called out, "Mr. William!"

Hearing this name, I was stunned. I slowly turned my head and saw Henry standing behind me with a very ugly expression.

"Mr. William." I hurriedly greeted him, then lowered my head.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw that Henry's expression was getting worse and worse, and I was very nervous.

After Henry left, colleagues began to talk about it.

"Is Mr. William unhappy that we're using him as a bet?"

"Oh, our finance department has offended him."

"Can't he be this petty?"

Hearing these words, I was also very nervous. The face of Henry just now was really ugly. Was he really angry?

"Do you think he will mind if I take him as a bet?" I asked Joy for help.

Joy shook her head. "It's your bad luck. You won 4,000 but offended the big boss. It's not worth it."

"Then what should we do?" I tugged at my long hair anxiously.

"Say something sweet and find a way to make him happy," Joy said with a smile.

I frowned and said awkwardly, "I can't do it." Joy said anxiously, "Why can't? You are a legal couple."

I pursed my lips and said nothing.

I'm a little annoyed. Didn't he go to work? Why did he come back at noon?

"I'm really unlucky. How could I happen to let him hear me?"

After lunch, everyone was packing up and preparing to return. I was no exception. I went to the VIP area to pack my luggage.

As soon as I entered the villa, I looked up and saw Ava standing in the living room, with my suitcase beside her.

Ava said with a smile, "Madam, your luggage has been packed."

I looked at my suitcase, took it, and looked upstairs. In the end, I couldn't help but ask, "Is... is he gone?"

"They've already left," Ava replied.

Hearing this, I nodded and forced a smile. After saying goodbye to Ava, I took my luggage and left.

At this moment, felt an unspeakable pain in my heart.

Although we don't love each other for the time being, hope to see him and miss him so much.

And it was indeed my fault.

If he showed up now, I would definitely apologize to him.

Henry's POV:

I stood upstairs and watched Chloe leave.

At this moment, the sound of high heels could be heard. Ava walked in and said, "Mr. William, Madame is already on the bus."

I lowered my head and pondered for two seconds. Then I said, "Call the driver and tell him to drive slower and more slowly."

"Yes." Ava replied and left.

I lit a cigarette and looked out of the window in a gloomy mood.

Ever since this girl appeared, my heart has been disturbed. I don't know if it's because of her temperament or her appearance.

Thinking back to last night's work, my mind was full of her, so even if I knew that I had work in the morning, even if I knew that it would take me four hours to drive back and forth.

BUT I'M BACK.

In order to see her, to hug her.

I thought about it again. That night, she asked me if I came to the resort together.

I was very happy at that time.

So I took part in the resort because of her. But her purpose was not only to let me appear.

Instead, it was a ridiculous bet?

The scar at the bottom of my heart began to hurt again. I suddenly took a drag on my cigarette and put it out in the ashtray.
