Chapter 1113

He knocked on the table with some excitement, "Chlo-Chlo is inherently extreme and obsessive, who knows what shocking things she may end up doing. Do you understand?!"

Alexander Foster turned to him, met his gaze, and after a few seconds, asked, "Grandfather, do you know why she has been reluctant to be with me?"

The Master did not expect the conversation to take this turn, his attempt to change Alexander Foster’s mind ended up revealing a lead to him.

"No." The Master averted his gaze, "I don’t know."

"What is it?"

Alexander Foster’s expression remained calm, he asked quietly.

The Master had weathered many storms, but at this time, he showed a look of panic in front of his grandson who was not yet 26-years-old.

Alexander Foster refilled his cup with Soothing Tea and slowly said, "You had a private conversation with Chlo-Chlo earlier."

The Master’s eyes widened. After thinking for a moment, he deemed it improbable that Chloe Collins had revealed this herself. She had good character, and would not expose secrets she promised to keep.

So... It must’ve been Alexander who noticed it himself.

"Yes, once." He admitted without denial.

Alexander slowly said, "What you said that day hurt her."

The Master’s heart shrank slightly.

In Alexander’s mind, he recalled the look on Chloe Collins’ face when she emerged from the Main Building Courtyard that day. She seemed calm, but her eyes were filled with sadness.

As soon as she came out, she took the initiative to hug him.

Like a hurt little rabbit, never whining when it’s in pain, only digesting the pain silently and in solitude. It was heartbreaking to witness.

"Grandfather, everything you do is for the greater good, for me, isn’t it?"

He looked at Alexander, hesitated for a while, then said, "The problem with Chlo-Chlo’s health is because of your aunt. This was personally testified by Tristan Collins. Back then, your aunt had a conflict with Chlo-Chlo’s mother. In a moment of recklessness, she gave the New Medicine to her mother before Chlo-Chlo was born."

Alexander was silent.

The Study Room was so quiet that you could hear every minor movement.

"This is her reason?"

The Master was struggling internally.

He had "No" lingering in his throat but unexpectedly choked at the last minute. Chloe Collins’ determined words echoed in his ears: If he agrees, it won’t matter who tries to stop me.

He also remembered that he had once said that he had no intention of interfering because the happiness of his children and grandchildren is their own prerogative.

But Mane York’s appearance made him question that conviction.

He thought the transfer of Alexander’s feelings was just a matter of time.

At the very least, Mane York was in good health. There was no need to worry about her suddenly leaving, plunging Alexander into heavy sadness.

He wouldn’t have to worry that Alexander could be pulled down with her at any time.

There would also be no concern over the potential trouble of a deep-rooted hatred.

He vaguely felt that Chloe Collins resented their family deep down even if she didn’t express it verbally. After all, Emma Foster was the perpetrator.

This relationship was too complex and could deteriorate at any moment.

At this moment, his heart was racing.

If he told the truth and said "No", Alexander would inevitably dig deeper. But if he found out that Chloe Collins was waiting for his approval, there would be no turning back from this situation.

Under Alexander’s scrutiny, he said, "Yes, it’s because of this."

"Chlo-Chlo is a reasonable child, but no matter what, she can’t surpass this hurdle in her heart. I hope you can understand and avoid putting her in a difficult position," he implored.

Alexander pondered with his eyes downcast.

The Master didn’t urge him to make a decision right away. He took a sip of tea and said, "You should take Mane out for a stroll tomorrow. I notice that she seems to have a deep affection for you. She is attractive, from a good family, talented, and of an appropriate age. Why don’t you... give it a try?"
