Suddenly, the hall fell silent, and the atmosphere became a little subtle.
Chloe turned around in surprise and met Jerome’s warm eyes.
Fourth Young Master Xavier’s “Chloe” made Patt’s face even uglier.
Stefan looked at the baby goose and then looked at Jerome. His eyes became elusive, but he only smiled faintly, “Jerome specially went to pick up Chloe? I really have to trouble you.”
“Uncle Thorp, you are too polite.”
Riley elbowed Oscar beside him and asked in a low voice, “Big brother, when did little sister become so familiar with Fourth Young Master Xavier? I don’t know!”
“Do I have to let you know everything about Chloe?” Oscar said casually.
“Do you know that they are so familiar with each other?”
“Yes.”
“F*ck! Are you competing with me”
“I was the one who asked Jerome to bring Chloe back.”
Riley took a deep breath. “Big brother, how can you just push your little sister to another man? It’s hard to draw a tiger when you draw a man. You know your face, but you don’t know your heart.”
“What if this Fourth Young Master Xavier has an impure motive for my little sister? What if he does something to me on the way?”
“It’s normal to have impure motives. Men in this world, even if they are bent into a tightrope ball, will definitely be conquered by Chloe’s charm. As for the latter, there is no need for you and me to worry about it.”
“If Fourth Young Master Xavier is the kind of person you are talking about, will he still stand in front of us at this moment with all his limbs intact?”
Yes, there was nothing wrong with it.
After all, when the young lady was playing with dolls when she was young, Oscar and Sami had already taught her how to use knives and guns.
In fact, Oscar did this not because he was selfish.
Joseph had been deeply rooted in Chloe’s life for thirteen years. Now, although she had fully comprehended and removed the man from her heart, she could not turn a blind eye to the wound that Joseph had left her.
At this time, a person needed to appear and fill the hole in her heart.
Her brother could not play this role, but he felt that maybe Jerome could.
The two families met, and the men talked in the living room. Chloe was dragged by the three ladies to the back garden to “force confessions”.
“Chloe, tell me honestly, what is the relationship between you and that Fourth Young Master Xavier?” Freya smiled and hugged Chloe’s small waist, asking directly.
We can be considered friends.” Chloe said calmly. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
“Boyfriend?” Freya asked excitedly.
“Male friend!” Chloe was speechless.
“There is no pure friendship between men and women, so he is still your boyfriend. Even if he is not now, he soon will be.”
Freya pinched her waist, “Back then, your father was assassinated by a business rival in North City. After I saved your father, your father also said that he wanted to be my sworn brother. How is it now? I almost gave birth to a baby for him!”
Chloe was completely speechless. She was defeated by Freya’s stupidity.
Helena and Sia looked at each other. Not only were they not angry, but they also didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
After all, if not for Freya, Sea Gate wouldn’t have Stefan.
Now, Freya’s back and left shoulder still had two gunshot scars left behind when she blocked the gun for Stefan.
“Chloe, it would be good if you could be with Fourth Young Master Xavier. Not to mention that they are of the same social status, Director Xavier and your father are so good friends. If you marry Xavier family, they will definitely treat you well.”
“Moreover, Fourth Young Master Xavier is also very good-looking. Your children must be good-looking,” Sia said.
“Wait! No… Why do you suddenly mention that I have a child with him? Where are you going?” Chloc felt that they were getting more and more ridiculous.
“Third Sister, I think that Chloe’s marriage can’t be decided just as per good looks.”
Helena was a rational person. At this moment, her willow-like eyebrows were slightly closed. She analyzed seriously, “According to my understanding, Fourth Young Master Xavier just came back from Stoeyae. He doesn’t have much shares in Xavy Group and his foundation is unstable. His mother was exiled abroad by Director Xavier in the name of nursing her illness all year round. She almost didn’t care about it.”
“When Chloe married him, it seemed like a match made in heaven, but in reality, she might have married beneath her status. Who knows? Perhaps that fourth young master could be after Chloe’s dowry, hoping to leverage her powerful background to gain control within Xavy Group.”
“Aah! Second sister is really reasonable. Then this matter can’t be rushed!” Freya became a fence- sitter.
“Chloe, we have to buy more goods than the three families. We can’t play with marriage matters. Either we don’t marry, or we marry a true dragon among men! How about… you consider Patt again?”
Chloe felt that her mouth was full and she could not explain it clearly. She covered her head with her hands gloomily.
There were too many mothers, and it was like eight hundred monks were chanting in her ears.
‘Ah! My head hurts!’
At the banquet everyone enjoyed the delicious food and the Lafite that Stefan had treasured for more than ten years, the atmosphere was as harmonious as before.
In fact, for the two big shots, this meal was just a reunion, and it was no different from more than twenty years ago.
The biggest difference was that they were already full of children and women, enjoying themselves.
And this time, Draco came with a purpose, for the sake of his two unmarried sons and daughter-in-law.
During the meal, Patt sat opposite Chloe, while Jerome sat next to her.
and
The dining table was too long and wide, and the person sitting opposite clearly did not have the advantage of sitting next to
him.

Patt watched as his younger brother was attentive to First Miss and Second Miss Thorp. His eyes were filled with dark flames, and the fork in his hand was about to be deformed.
It was really disadvantageous for him to leave the sect!
The timing, place, and place were almost all occupied by this little bastard!
With the experience from the last date, Jerome knew that Chloe liked to eat cold food like seafood, especially crab and shrimp. She really loved to eat them.
If not for the limited time last time, she would probably be able to eat until dawn.
Therefore, during the meal, Jerome barely moved his fork. He had been patiently peeling shrimp shells for Chloe and continuously feeding her.
Everyone was secretly observing them without batting an eyelid.
Chloe ate very happily and showed off her wolfing skills in front of the people at home.
Jerome’s long eyelashes hung low, and the corners of his lips were always raised. His slender and white fingers brushed away the shrimp shell with great familiarity, and then he gently placed the full shrimp meat on Chloé’s plate.
For such a thing to be done by a young master of a wealthy family, it was more or less a bit embarrassing.
However, Jerome seemed to be completely immersed in it, as if no one else was there, and he was willing to endure it.
Chloe did not act coy, nor did she refuse. Instead, she ate the transparent shrimp meat on the plate and accepted everything he did for her.
If there were only the two of them, she would definitely refuse him.
But it was different with Draco present.
How could she miss such a good opportunity to expose her shortcomings?
Patt saw that Jerome would take out a tissue to wipe his fingers every time he peeled a shrimp. He could not help but squeeze out a sneer between his teeth.
He knew that Fourth Brother had mysophobia. He usually would not even wear clothes that he had worn once. Now, he had actually lowered himself to break his precept for this Chloe.
In order to compete with him, he had really put in a lot of efforts.
“This girl in my family is getting more and more outrageous. I have let you see a joke, Old Xavier.” Stefan said to Draco with some embarrassment.
“Hey, Old Thorp, what are you talking about? We are all family, what are you laughing at? Chloe’s true nature is exactly the same as when you were young. I really like it in my heart. I really want to carry Chloe back immediately and be our Xavier family’s daughter-in-law! Hahahaha!”
Draco held it in for a whole night and finally revealed the purpose of this trip.
Stefan just smiled in agreement and did not answer him.
On the other side, Chloe was finally full. She covered her mouth and burped.
Jerome turned his head and looked down at her with a gentle mist in his eyes.
“Wipe your hands.” He took out a tissue and handed it to her from under the table.
“Oh, thank you.” Chloe accepted it with a smile and elegantly wiped her lips.
“Miss Thorp’s appetite is really good tonight.” Patt smiled gently.
“Sorry, the food at home is too fragrant. I didn’t control it for a while…”

“No, no, Miss Thorp, you misunderstood me. I don’t mean to dislike you. I just feel that… you are different from those Miss
Brown I have seen.”.
Patt leaned forward and said sincerely, “I really admire your true temperament. I think you are very cute and real.”
Tsk, it’s true after eating a meal. Don’t tell me that all the women you know don’t eat grains?
Chloe muttered in her heart, but she still politely replied, “Thank you for your praise, Second Young Master.”
“I see that you haven’t been drinking water. You must be thirsty. Drink some red wine.”
With that, Patt stood up with a smile and wanted to personally pour wine for Chloe.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Jerome said with a clear and cold voice, “Seafood is cold. You should drink white wine. You should also drink white wine again. How can you drink red wine?”
“Second brother, you are used to live in the clouds. You don’t even know this little common sense.”
