Chapter 1198: Chapter 1198: Alexander Foster Makes Mane York Cry _1

Chapter 1198

Chloe Collins wriggled herself out of his embrace, leaving him with a view of her back. "I am currently more interested in her," she commented.

Alexander Foster’s brows furrowed tighter.

He must have misheard.

He reigned in his thoughts, turning his head to look towards the Eight-01.

His eyes, previously softened due to inebriation, now revealed a calm wisdom.

His thumb brushed the moisture on the corner of his mouth, and he emerged from his seat to leave.

Before Chloe left, she freshened up in the restroom. After a few splashes of cold water, her complexion returned to normal.

The reception room was not far from the dining area. As she stepped out, she saw Manie York chatting with several people including Lucas Locke.

Everyone was curious about why she was there.

Chloe looked in Manie York’s direction, her gaze trailing towards her right arm.

The weather wasn’t too chilly, and Manie York was dressed conservatively, her arms were covered unlike her usual attire.

A faint aroma of antiseptic cream wafted through the air.

She moved towards them.

"Miss York."

Manie York turned her head, her eyes met Chloe’s. She wasn’t surprised, probably because she had guessed she was present. Spotting the man behind Chloe, Manie’s eyes lit up.

"Brother Alexander."

Alexander didn’t respond to her, instead, he turned to Chloe, "Let’s go out to eat."

As he spoke, his hand already began leading her away.

Yet, Chloe turned to Manie York, "Miss York, are you going to eat?"

Manie York was taken aback, she looked at her puzzled, "No, what are you up to?"

"If you don’t mind, I would like to invite you for a meal. How does that sound?"

Manie York was immediately on guard. "What are you up to? Why are you behaving like this?"

Lucas and his friends seemed to understand the relationship between the three, most likely he loved her, she loved him.

They quietly ate their meal, but their eyes darted towards the trio.

Chloe claimed, "Nothing much really, just a meal."

"How could you..." Manie York’s words hung in the air, she remembered Alexander’s presence so she refrained herself from continuing, she changed the topic, "I still prefer your previous indifference."

Chloe stepped closer and pointed at Manie’s arm, "Your injury..."

"My injury is fine, Miss Collins. No need for you to worry," Manie withdrew her arm subconsciously.

After some thought, she stated, "Ahh, I get it now. Did you run into any difficulties? Do you want me to help you?"

A smug smile played on her face. "I told you before, research in robotics isn’t an easy task. Perhaps you’re adept at exams, but that doesn’t mean you’re skilled with your hands."

With that said, she didn’t want to give Chloe any more of her attention. She turned and walked towards Alexander.

"Brother Alexander, let’s go watch a show together. I have tickets."

Chloe was standing between the two of them, her gaze fixated on Manie’s arm, her eyes full of deep thoughts.

"Miss York..."

Alexander suddenly interrupted her. "Miss York, I’d like to speak with you privately."

Manie York was delighted, "Sure!"

Their private conversation didn’t take place in a secluded area, but rather near the French windows at a distance.

Although no one could hear their conversation, they could clearly see them.

A distance of about a meter and a half separated them. Alexander, with his tall body and long legs, emanated a captivating aura.

Lucas turned to Chloe, "Freshman, the aura from your boyfriend is so powerful, we don’t dare to speak to him."

The corners of Chloe’s lips lifted slightly, "Did you find the food to your liking?"

"Yes, it’s delicious! You should join us."

"Are you silly? Our freshman is probably going out on a date later."

But Chloe stood up, picked up a pan-fried dumpling, and took a bite, "I’m not going out, will continue here in a bit."

"What about your boyfriend?"

Chloe replied, "He’s an adult, not a child."

With that, she meant to say that he didn’t need her care.

Lucas and the others were speechless: ...Okay.

Chloe was thinking about how to engage in conversation with Manie York when suddenly someone whispered loudly.

"Manie York is crying, she ran away."

"My God... Did Brother-in-law make Manie York cry?"

"What on earth did he say to her?"

"It’s the first time I’ve seen Manie York cry!"

Chloe lifted her head and saw Manie York dashing out with tears streaking down her face.

A stern Alexander stood there without a sliver of compassion.

She remembered the blind date when the young girl burst into tears under Alexander’s sharp words.

This man really is...

Adorable.

(Chloe’s inner thoughts: my man, he’s adorable no matter what he does)
