Chapter 265: Chapter 265: This Young Lady Doesn’t Even Try to Fight for It

Chapter 265

About two minutes later, Alexander Foster received a reply.

[Chloe Collins: The day after tomorrow is Master’s birthday.]

Alex did remember such a thing. Several weeks ago, on the night he was tracking down the Dark Alliance mercenaries, he happened to see her in the suburbs.

After that, that night, she returned to the Fosters, handed him a peace charm, which she said was given to her by Master Matsu, and asked him to free up his schedule in advance to accompany the old man for his birthday.

He did not agree right away, and later, with too many things going on, he forgot about it.

Obviously, she was worried that he would forget, so she sent the message mentioned above to ask him when he would go home.

The fireworks that bloomed in Alex’s mind gradually weakened until they disappeared...

After a while, he replied calmly —

[Alex: I didn’t promise you.]

[Chloe Collins: So you’re definitely not going?]

[Alex: To be determined.]

[Chloe Collins: Fine.]

After a few seconds of back-and-forth messaging, Alex held his phone and tried to think of what to say next.

After all, the current situation was beyond his control.

He stared at the word "Fine," feeling more and more stabbed in the eyes. His handsome brows discolored with a layer of gloominess.

How could this young lady give up so easily?

Why not fight for it?

Two minutes later, he took the initiative to send a message.

[Alex: Did you have a smooth exam today?]

[Chloe Collins: Smooth.]

[Chloe Collins: Watching a movie, let’s not chat.]

Her reply, directly made the text he was editing stuck.

A dark shade gradually arose in his deep black eyes.

Watching a movie?

-

At the same time, in a Capitol cinema, Chloe Collins watched a movie with composure while holding a cola.

The movie was a recently released crime drama from Country H, featuring the top idol Damien Hart. It was adapted from a real case that the country had just cracked last year, so it received a lot of attention even before its release. Last week’s premiere saw an impressive rise in ticket sales.

These factors were enough to attract Chloe Collins to watch it. Moreover, she had a friend appearing in the movie. Contributing a ticket for her friend was the least she could do.

Of course, she was not the only one who came.

Layla Lowell also enjoyed these types of films. She even booked the tickets.

A moment ago, the movie was at an exciting part, and Chloe Collins didn’t want to be distracted, so she ended the conversation with Alex. Besides, she already anticipated that he wouldn’t come, given how Robert Foster had mentioned more than once in the past two weeks how busy his brother was.

So, she was well-prepared.

She didn’t like to force people, so she wouldn’t insist.

The movie was very long, two hours long, and it was only halfway through now.

When they came out, it was almost eight o’clock. The two of them went to a nearby restaurant for dinner.

After the meal, they felt it was still early, so they went to an amusement city to play an Escape Room game to pass the time. When the first round ended, Alex came out of the airport.

Ford had been waiting here early. When he saw Alex, he couldn’t help but say, "Young Master, you’re not that busy these days. Why don’t you stay there for a few more days and take a vacation?"

"Drive."

Alex had already sat down in the back seat, holding his phone and opening the messaging app. Chloe Collins’ profile picture was a fully armed, fierce little rabbit. More than three hours had passed, and there were no new messages.

He lowered the car window and looked at the familiar bustling night view of Capitol. Suddenly, he took a short video and sent it to his friends’ circle.

There was only a period in the caption, no text at all.

Three seconds after posting, his phone vibrated once, twice, three times...
