Chapter 488 The Invitation
Chloe nodded, curious to see what William was up to.
William strode towards the convenience store and walked out three minutes later with empty hands.
Chloe was puzzled until he approached, and she caught a whiff of alcohol.
"You went drinking?"
He just went to the convenience store and bought a bottle of alcohol to drink right there?
William's eyes were a little more unfocused than before. "I don't dare to say it when I'm too sober."
Chloe didn't know what to say.
"Ms. Nelson, I have a crush on you. I wonder if you are willing to give me a chance!"
William finished his words in one breath, and then he slowly looked into Chloe's eyes.
"A chance for what exactly...?"
Chloe pretended not to understand.
"It's a chance to be with you. If you think it's too fast, we can take it slow. I can pursue you without rushing for your acceptance."
So, he wanted a chance to pursue her.
If it hadn't been for the incident in the swimming pool, Chloe might have been shocked.
But the surveillance footage was crystal clear. Chloe was sure his confession wasn't sincere.
"I know this is abrupt, but I really meant what I said just now." is the owner.
Chloe sneered inwardly.
With William's pair of affectionate eyes, it is not easy to see the flaw.
Without the footage, she might have been deceived.
"I need some time to think about it."
Chloe didn't refuse immediately, instead asking for time.
She couldn't accept outright nor completely reject him. She had to maintain a neutral stance.
William smiled broadly. "Of course! So, would you accompany me to the party in a couple of days?"
Chloe pretended to ponder and struggle before finally looking at him. "Can I give you my answer tomorrow? Today was a bit overwhelming. I need time." After parting with William, Chloe went inside and immediately called Candy.
"William just confessed to me."
"What the hell?"
Candy's shocked scream came through the phone.
Chloe rubbed her ear and continued, "He also invited me to a party in a couple of days."
"Did you agree?"
"Not yet, but I definitely will. This is exactly what I wanted."
She knew that after William learned
that her baby was fine, he would b
restless, or rather, the people behind him would be restless.
See, before she even made a move, they came to her.
"What's this party in a couple of days?"
"A charity party, I think."
If Chloe remembers correctly, it should be.
This kind of charity party was held several times a year around the same time.
"He's planning to make a move at a charity party? With so many people around?" Hearing Candy's words, Chloe chuckled.
"Wouldn't it be better if he really intended to do it at the party?"
More people meant more safety.
"I understand. I will bring Quinn and Jessica to the dinner that day.
"By the way, have you eaten yet?"
Candy's sudden question made
bet
Chloe realize she hadn't eaten since
leaving Bright Moon International. She'd been too engrossed ino Maggie's story.
Candy took Chloe's silence as a no.
"I'll order you some food. You're carrying a baby; you can't skip meals!"
As the godmother, Candy felt it was her duty to take care of Chloe and the baby.
Chloe smiled, not refusing Candy's offer.
After confirming with Candy, Chloe called James, but he hung up after the first ring.
The automated message said he
was
that bother call. Chloe realized
might be with Maggie at the
moment.
Better not to disturb them. Her matters could wait until tomorrow.
