"Because my mother..." Having said this, Morgan seemed to realize that he was telling Chloe too much, so he stopped and changed a subject, "In this family, I feel no warmth, no affection, and no communication. We’re similar. I've felt better since I met you, and finally there's someone doesn't dislike me."
While saying this, Morgan's fingers were running through Chloe’s hair, which made her feel comfortable and secure.
"Do not say that you're a unlucky girl, don't say it in the future," Morgan said with a rare tough attitude, and at the same time he clapped his hand on her shoulder to emphasize.
Chloe buried her face on his neck, closed her eyes, and nodded. She looks like a docile kitten, so cute that others would not believe that she is also a strict self-defense coach.
Her eyelashes are thick, long and curled. Her skin was glowing, and her lips are as moist as strawberry jelly. The gentle airflow exhaled from her nose was like a feather, provoking Morgan. His neck was itchy.
Morgan suddenly had an idea: kiss her.
Thinking of this, his heart began to beat faster. Morgan had never even touched a girl's finger. He has no experience in kissing a girl.
He imagined Chloe’s mouth, cheering for himself in his heart. He was wondering what it felt like to kiss her. Just like biting an apple and a pear?
When Morgan was about to let Chloe go and kiss her, Chloe opened her eyes, and pushed Morgan away.
Oops, did she see through me? What should I say?
"Okay, I'll do as you said in the future. I won't say anything like this again," Chloe wiped away the tears from her cheeks.
Thank God she didn’t find out what I was thinking. Morgan couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
He smiled at her, "You should listen to me. That’s right."
After the crying Chloe felt that all the bad feeling was gone. Now she is full of energy, no longer depressed.
She patted Morgan heavily pat on the shoulder, "You’re not weak at all, dude. You are quite a man at the critical moment. Since you tried to protect me, let’s be good friends. From now on, I will take you as my friend. No matter who bullies you, I will protect you," Chloe clenched her fist to amuse Morgan.
Brian felt uncomfortable about the marriage. In fact, Chloe herself also felt awkward because it was too hasty. But thinking about it from such a angle makes her feel better. She could be friends with Morgan. The marriage would be a favor.
However, Morgan looked at her with a quizzical look on his face. What’s going on? She was a weak girl who cried like a baby, how come she acted like nothing happened? She only wants to be my friend? But I don't want her to be my dude.
"We are husband and wife," Morgan gritted his teeth and reminded Chloe to pay attention to the fact that they've got married.
"We got the marriage license because of the news. It's enough to cope with the questions from the newspapers. It's okay, actually we're still single man and woman. Whenever you meet a girl you like, tell me and I'll make room at any time," Chloe was generous.
"Chloe! Do you take me as your friend?"
Chloe was confused why Morgan has to ask the question again. She had made clear to him just now. She nodded and said, “Yes. Why not?”
"But I don't want to be your friend."
"What?"
"I'm your husband," Morgan looked at Chloe with a serious face. Isn't he expressing it clearly? Why can't she understand?
I choose you because I like you. Does the marriage license mean nothing to you? I'm not someone who takes other's feelings as a joke.
Chloe answered, “You're my husband. Didn't we get the marriage license this afternoon?” she changed the subject, “I have to talk to Willie about the news. In the hospital, he told me that he wanted me to regret something, but I thought he was talking nonsense. He is despicable and shameless.”
"You don't have to worry about this. I will go to the newspaper to explain it myself," Morgan was determined to solve it quickly.
"Why does Tommy have so much money?" Chloe finally asked the question that she was curious about. Tommy said to the news media that he paid all the treatment costs. And Brian seems to have no doubts about that.
"Tommy is not our driver. He is actually a business owner with a net worth of less than 10 billion. He came to my family for one purpose, to take care of me."
"Why?" Chloe was really taken aback by the answer. She didn't expect Tommy's background to be so different. Tens of billions of assets, that’s too much. The money would probably fill a football field.
No wonder, when Tommy was facing the news media in his suit and leather shoes, he was calm and dignified.
"Because my mother saved the lives of his family, he wanted to repay that. So, he asked to be my driver. That Cadillac is a birthday present he gave to me.”
When the boy of the same age begged his mother to buy a car model toy, Morgan already had a real car of his own.
"What does your mother do? Can I ask that?" Chloe was wondering who is Morgan's biological mother. He always calls his stepmother Lauren York.
Morgan pondered for a while, as if he was struggling with something, and then said with determination, "My mother used to be a military doctor. She was expelled from the military because of some reason I don’t know. My father divorced her."
Brian never mentioned his wife to his son. Morgan learned about these pieces of information from Tommy. But Tommy didn’t tell him much either.
Tommy was still in the early stage of his business, and his family was poor. He burned the stove in winter, which resulted in carbon monoxide poisoning. Fortunately, Morgan's mother saved the whole family.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked this. Everyone has a secret that they don't want to tell others,” Chloe felt sorry for making Morgan feel uneasy.
"It's fine, it's no secret in my family. No one mentioned anything to me, but they all know something. I’m used to that.” Morgan replied and hugged Chloe, "you almost know most of my life, you can't abandon me. I only have you."
