Chapter 1377: Chapter 1377: The String Called Alex, Which Had Been Suppressed for Many Years, Suddenly Moved_1

Chapter 1377

Layla Lowell confronted Charles Carrington, "What do you mean by this?"

Unexpectedly caught off guard, a hint of awkwardness appeared on Charles’s handsome face, "Nothing... as you can see, I need to know about these things."

Layla scoffed, "Why do you need to know about these things? What relation do we have? Why are you prying into my privacy?"

Charles remained silent, his eyes deep like the ocean, somehow different than usual.

"Then let’s just pretend I didn’t ask."

She grew anxious, "How can I pretend you didn’t ask? I’ve already heard it, you need to give me an explanation today!"

"There is no explanation, but if you want, I can stay by your side for a whole day." He casually leaned against a tree trunk, causing snowflakes to fall onto him, a few plum blossoms mixed in.

Layla was genuinely provoked by his actions, leaving her at a loss.

When a person doesn’t want to say something, no force can get the truth out of them.

After a long stare, Layla asked him, "Do you... still like me?"

Her heart began to throb erratically.

She began to fear.

Fear that Charles Carrington would laugh at her self-importance, yet also feared him admitting it.

After a brief yet intense stare off, she suddenly backed down, "Forget it, it doesn’t matter to me anyway."

She ran off hurriedly.

Charles Carrington stood in place, his gaze profound.

The next day, Chloe Collins went to try on her wedding dress.

Evelyn Thompson took many photos for them, and she picked one to share on her circle of friends. It quickly received many likes.

One of them was even from Chase Carrington.

He also left a comment: It suits you well, very beautiful.

At the same time, Theodore Collins was sitting in Tristan Collins’s office. Tristan started to gradually introduce him to the scope of the company’s business to prepare him in advance.

He swung his legs slightly, and after seeing his sister’s circle of friends, he liked it and casually asked Tristan, "Dad, can you guess how much this wedding dress for sis is worth?"

Upon hearing that, Tristan fell silent; he wasn’t friends with Chloe on the messaging app.

"How much?" He looked down, asking with an indifferent tone that seemed careless.

Theodore laughed and said, "Just make a guess, either way it’s very expensive. Brother Milty was directly involved in its creation, he took it very seriously."

Tristan responded light-heartedly, his thoughts starting to drift.

His heart felt empty.

With a rustle, Theodore walked over with a serious expression on his face, "Dad, I heard them say yesterday that sis has another dad, isn’t she your daughter?"

Tristan remained silent for a long time, a string in his heart that had been suppressed for years, suddenly twitched.

The news of Chloe Collins and Alexander Foster’s impending marriage spread rapidly, even making headlines. It was the talk of the town.

She thought that her life full of ups and downs was going to settle down and that she would live a peaceful and happy life thereafter. But at this time, an official came to her door.

James Cunningham, the captain of a team in the Supernatural and Mysterious Phenomena Research Bureau, had obstructed her once before in Anstolas and tried to draw her words out.

At that time, he was unsuccessful, appearing and disappearing in a rush, yet left her with a sentence before leaving: We’ll meet again.

Today, he fulfilled that promise.

Chloe returned from the Capitol University Laboratory to see a familiar car at her doorstep.

Three people stood at the doorway, two men and a woman, one of them was James Cunningham. He revealed his identity to her, requesting a conversation.

She invited them in. All of them were straightforward people, and their intention was soon revealed.

The goal of their visit was to invite her to join James Cunningham’s team and serve the country.
