Chapter 1186: Chapter 1186: She Has a Childhood Arranged Marriage_1

Chapter 1186

Evelyn Thompson had initially planned to stand by and teach Chloe Collins from time to time. However, she was soon called away by the Master.

They sat down in the living room, and the atmosphere became a bit solemn.

Evelyn could not help but ask, "Dad, didn’t you used to really like Chlo-Chlo? Why...why did you suddenly make everyone so uncomfortable? Moreover, you clearly know who Alex likes, but you brought Mane York here, that is unfair for both of them."

The Master’s expression was deep and mysterious, as he said, "There are reasons here that you are not aware of. You’ve been married to this family for many years and have witnessed how I handle things many times. Don’t you trust me yet?"

Evelyn pursed her lips, feeling troubled. "Dad, I really can’t understand your actions this time."

"Can you understand Chloe then?"

He leaned back, looking at the two figures in the kitchen, and slowly said, "Alex likes her, it’s a well-known fact, and she’s well aware of it. Why hasn’t she given him a definite answer yet? Is it that she’s using Alex as a backup option?"

The Master’s eyes flickered, showing some wavering.

Evelyn didn’t sense his hesitation, she merely heard his words at face value, and retorted, "Chlo-Chlo isn’t that kind of girl. I believe her."

"Why are you so trusting of her? As far as I know, she’s been around the White’s young man quite a lot, and she has more male friends than female ones. Under these circumstances, how can you trust her?"

"For me, I’m doing what’s best for Alex, what’s best for our Fosters. I’ve done my research on this Manie. She has no faults, and she is a perfect match for Alex. I’m very satisfied, and you should change your mind too.

I’ve thought about it, and it’s not suitable for Chloe to continue living here. You should find a reason to arrange accommodations outside for her and ask her to move out."

Evelyn’s face turned pale, "Dad, you...".

Her upbringing prohibited her from raising her voice. She stifled her outrage.

In a soft voice, she tried to persuade him, "Dad, you can’t break your promise. You agreed to her mom that she can stay here until she graduates from college, and it’s only her first year now."

The Master’s expression remained unchanged. "I didn’t foresee these implications back then. I wouldn’t oppose her continuing to live here if it weren’t for these complications. But, think about it. Manie will be moving in; it’s inappropriate for her to continue to stay here."

At his words, Evelyn’s clenched fists tightened further, her expression firm. "Dad, if you insist on deciding this way, I disagree. To be honest, I’ve done my research too. This Mane York has been betrothed to a prince from Goldasia since she was a child. What do you say about that?"

"I’m aware of that matter," the Master replied calmly. "But, the child from Goldasia has been out of contact since a young age, and the marriage has been automatically annulled. It’s not an issue."

Evelyn was stifled: "In any case, I can’t agree with this."

The Master furrowed his eyebrows. "There are some things that I will not say out of respect for the child, but you can ask Chloe yourself. She’s been keeping something from you."

"What is it? Is it what made you change your mind?"

"Yes, that’s exactly it. In any case, I won’t harm you guys, and you won’t go wrong listening to me."

Evelyn was extremely uneasy.

If the Master said so much, it meant that it was no small matter.

He didn’t say it out loud, indicating his considerations, and it wasn’t appropriate for her to ask.

But, this was the child’s privacy. It would be inappropriate for her to ask about it too.

After some consideration, she no longer argued with the Master, though her mind was not swayed.

——(Author’s Note)——

The Master’s considerations: Chloe’s health is not good, and there might be a problem at any time. She also holds a grudge over my deceased daughter. What if she seeks revenge on the Fosters in the future? No, this is a hidden danger, I need to plan in advance. It’s safer with Manie.
