Chapter 396

Robert could tell by Chloe’s expression that Alex hadn’t told her about it.

He immediately realized that he had said too much...

Glancing at his brother, he slipped away before being noticed.

Chloe silently watched Alexander, feeling a warm stream slowly flowing through her heart.

Soon, Evelyn shared the family portrait they had just taken in their small group chat. Some of them had filters added.

She wanted to choose one to make into a large photo and hang on the wall.

After some deliberation, she decided to use the original camera.

Filters seemed redundant and unnecessary.

Having made the decision, Evelyn happily took down the current family portrait of the four of them to make room for the new one.

Chloe looked at the family portrait for a while before saving it in an encrypted photo album.

There were many photos in the album, including those of Damien Hart, Camille, and Romelo Woods.

Just as she saw Camille’s photo, her phone rang—it was Camille.

Camille had finished her business here and was about to return to her country. She wanted to have a farewell dinner with Chloe.

Chloe had planned to take Camille out for dinner or go sightseeing in the Capitol before she left, but she hadn’t expected Camille to leave so soon.

[Why not stay a few more days?]

[Camille: I wish I could, but there’s suddenly some urgent business in the Fragrance Alliance. They want me to go there as soon as possible.]

[The old man’s orders?]

[Camille: →_→ I think the old man is up to something.]

[Maybe he’s had another burst of inspiration.]

[Camille: No! Have you forgotten what happened last time? Every time he has a burst of inspiration, the Alliance is thrown into chaos!]

[If he asks about me, tell him I’m dead.]

[Camille: ...]

[Camille: That harsh?]

[You know I can’t deal with the old man.]

[Camille: If I really say that, you’ll be finished.]

[Then just try not to mention me, pretend you’ve never seen me~]

[Camille: It’s getting late, hurry up and come over, I’ve prepared food and drinks.]

Chloe looked at Evelyn, instructing the chef, and suddenly felt a bit guilty.

However, since Camille was leaving, she had to go to this dinner.

After thinking about it, she decided to go out in the "ladylike dress" she was wearing, without changing.

"Aunt Evelyn, Uncle, my friend is going back to her country, I’ll go out tonight to keep her company."

Evelyn was taken aback: "That’s so sudden, alright then. Let Brother Alex take you there, and don’t come back too late."

Alex had silently approached her side.

"I’ll take you."

"I..." Seeing the worry in his eyes, the words she was about to say unexpectedly changed: "Alright, thank you."

Alex didn’t change his clothes either, wearing the army green suit as he left.

Chloe told him the destination, and then began chatting with Camille through text.

"Text me when you want to come back tonight, and I’ll pick you up."

Chloe’s mind was on Camille, who was just telling her about an interesting old story, and her thoughts were immersed in the fun of the story. So she only heard the sound of Alex’s voice, not the content, and casually responded with "Okay."

Alex’s eyes were warm and content.

Soon, they arrived at the entrance to the residential area.

He watched her walk in and waited for a while before driving away.

As his hand rested on the steering wheel, he suddenly thought of the object that had fallen out of her ear this morning.

His gaze shifted to the seat beside him.

It had been during their last car ride when she was sleeping, and that small ring, much smaller than a hearing aid, had slipped out.

Why did she stuff that thing in her ear?

What exactly was it?
