Chapter 165
Chloe furrowed her brows slightly and, after a few seconds of silence, decided to go in anyway.
“Ah, Chloe’s here…”
The greeting words sounded a bit awkward.
Chloe managed to show a faint smile, as her upbringing made it impossible for her to ignore the two people in front of her.
The one who just spoke to her was Lauretta Ablett, Lance’s mother.
She was wearing a purple lace dress and looked well–preserved, with her beautiful features still intact. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
Sitting next to her was a middle–aged man in a suit and leather shoes, Grover Olson.
His face looked naturally serious, but he was quite handsome. He and Lance looked very much alike.
How Chloe and Lance felt about each other was their own business.
She never thought of venting on the two elders the resentment in her heart caused by Lance’s betrayal.
But why meet again on such an occasion?
Today, Carolina said it was the Summers family’s banquet.
Why were the two elders of the Olson family present?
Chloe’s lukewarm response made Lauretta awkwardly look at her husband.
Grover comforted her with a glance, his face showing a hint of helplessness.
“Young lady, the elders are trying to greet you. What kind of attitude is this?”
From the side, Nick Summers spoke in a deep voice, feeling very displeased with Chloe’s attitude which made the atmosphere tense as soon as she entered.
“It’s fine, it’s fine…”
Lauretta hurriedly stepped in to mediate. After all, she didn’t dislike Chloe, and from beginning to end, it was the Olson family that owed Chloe.
Chloe ignored Nick. In fact, from the beginning to the end, she never paid attention to Nick and Viviana Reeves.
Chloe poured herself a glass of water, took a sip, and just put the glass back on the table when a burst of laughter came from the doorway. “Grandpa is right, you’re so pretty. You would look pretty even dressed in rags.”
“No way, I’ll never be in rags!”
Chloe’s hand gripping the glass tightened slightly. With her back to the door, she didn’t even turn around.
Jonah Summers‘ laughter grew closer and closer, making Chloe feel desolate inside.
She told herself she shouldn’t be like this. Keira was his granddaughter too, and he wasn’t wrong in treating them equally.
But if it was him who invited her to this gathering today, did he ever think about how ridiculous her position here would be?! Lance pushed wheelchair–bound Jonah in, while Keira walked in arm in arm with him, chatting and laughing.
“I’m sorry for the wait. Lance and I went to pick up grandpa from home.”
Keira probably saw Lance’s parents as soon as she entered, and shyly explained her reason for being late.
Lauretta smiled, “It’s fine. It’s only natural.”
Nick chimed in with a smile, “Look, she hasn’t even gotten married yet, and she’s already forgetting about her own parents!”
“Dad, what are you talking about?”
Keira stomped her foot, playfully pouting at Nick with a shy expression.
Lauretta covered her mouth and laughed, jokingly saying:
“That’s right. Once they get married, Keira will be part of our Olson family from then on.”
“Haha, even so, she’ll always be the most precious treasure of the Summers family…”
