His Wife Calls The Shots

Chapter 272: Chapter 272 Timmy Collins

At this moment, Alexander Foster entered, sensing that something was off, and his eyebrows unconsciously furrowed.

"What’s wrong?"

"Senior, there’s a thief in the temple. Your things have been stolen!" the little monk said.

Alexander’s expression was solemn as he came to her side, but just as he was about to inspect, she stopped him with an outstretched hand.

"No need to worry. I know what’s going on. I’ll get the gifts back in a bit."

"Ah, Senior Eleven, do you know the thief?"

Chloe Collins glanced at Alex and faced his scrutiny, nodding once.

At the same time, she put the black hair in her hand into her pocket.

"I’ll go deal with it first. You stay here and wait for a while."

"Let’s go together," Alex said.

"No need, it doesn’t like strangers." With that said, she walked out.

Alexander watched her departing figure, his eyes revealing a very different emotion than before.

"Little monk."

"Hmm?" The little monk looked up at him.

With an indifferent gaze, he asked, "Is the thief male or female?"

"From the clothes and figure, it seems like a man."

"Does he have hair?"

Noticing his expression becoming increasingly solemn, the little monk earnestly recalled, "He was wearing a hat ... yes, he has hair! I’m sure of it, it’s black."

Having hair means it’s not a monk.

"How old is he?"

"How old? Well ... hard to say, but judging by the attire, he’s probably in his early twenties at most. Oh right, his skill was impressive. I initially thought he was a godly thief, but since Senior Eleven knows him, it’s probably just a misunderstanding. Elder brother, don’t worry, Senior Eleven is reliable. I’m sure she’ll bring your things back."

Alexander said nothing, his mind filled with images of Chloe defending the stranger, and for a moment, hidden currents surged deep beneath his eyes.

Following the mountain path, Chloe walked for seven or eight minutes before finding a small house in the woods. The surrounding area had been camouflaged to look like a landslide at first glance, but when parting the grass and walking down, a bamboo house was revealed.

Before Chloe even got close, she heard the crackling sound of someone eating chips.

She didn’t enter but stood at the doorway with her hands in her pockets, her eyes cold and her voice lazy but sharp: "Timmy Collins."

The moment she said this, the crackling sound inside stopped immediately!

Chloe’s eyes narrowed, and she suddenly turned to the side window of the bamboo house, walking over with steady steps, not saying a word.

The next second, the window was gently pushed open, and an agile figure jumped out from inside, landing gracefully.

The figure before her was a human-like ape dressed in human clothes, standing about 1.4 or 1.5 meters tall.

As soon as it saw Chloe, the ape was frightened and fell back, dropping the chips it had been eating onto the ground, scattering many of them.

It cried out and hurriedly picked up the fallen chips, shoving them back into its mouth.

Chloe squatted down, looking at it with a speechless expression: "Are they really that delicious?"

The ape nodded and even grabbed a handful, offering them to her.

Chloe didn’t say anything, then suddenly smiled and sat down.

Seeing Chloe’s pleasant expressions, the ape also laughed a few "hahahah" before jumping and dancing.

"I’m not angry." Chloe suddenly stopped smiling.

The ape tensed up, clutching its chips and sitting down. It sneaked a glance at her and then began using sign language.

[I’m hungry]

Chloe reached out to feel its stomach, which was round and full. She slapped it once: "This plump, you must have eaten at least two bunches of bananas at noon."

She sniffed and continued, "Heh, where did you get the durian from?"

Timmy’s eyes darted around, trying to act casual while scratching its stomach.

Then, it used sign language again.

[I won’t do it again next time.]
