Chapter 471: Chapter 471: The Desired Gift

Chapter 471

Thinking about it, he said, "I have an appointment, let’s do it next time."

Layla Lowell let out a long "oh," "Alright then."

The three of them parted ways at the courthouse doorway.

With the Lowells changing ownership, Layla had some related matters to deal with, so Chloe Collins took her there.

While driving, Chloe thought of something and asked her, "Did you tell him what you wanted to say last time?"

Layla took her eyes off her phone and looked at her, "Huh? What’s that?"

Chloe: "Explain your intentions to him."

Layla suddenly reacted, straightening up, "No! Not yet!"

She thought for a moment, "Am I overthinking it? Maybe Mr. Carrington didn’t think that way at all? If I explain rashly that I’m not interested in him, it might be awkward, right?"

Chloe smiled faintly, "Do you think that much too?"

Layla leaned back in her chair, "After all, it’s about... feelings, can’t be careless."

"You should think carefully, then."

Layla thought about it all the way.

It wasn’t until they reached the Lowells’ inside that she put her thoughts away and talked with some uncles who were shareholders.

Chloe was in the reception room outside, reading the new Chapters of a comic.

The latest monthly installment had a somewhat different plot.

Although still engaging and exciting, the story quietly added a love line for the protagonist, bringing some pink warmth to the originally cold and dark storyline.

The protagonists are two hot-blooded guys, one detective, one police officer, forming the strongest odd couple CP, uncovering layers of foggy cases. But now, the police officer has fallen for a female mercenary and let her go several times during their encounters.

The comment section’s attitude was the same as the detective’s, scolding the police officer to wake up.

But Chloe thought it was quite exciting.

Because she saw the details the author revealed - this female character might not be just a single identity. It’s very likely that she’s working undercover for the police. At least, since her appearance, she hasn’t brought any real trouble to the protagonists; instead, she’s helped them discover many clues.

She didn’t express her opinion but silently rewarded the author with a castle.

Flipping to the latest Chapter by chance, the date in the comic coincided with today, Christmas Eve.

The difference was that the comic was filled with snow and romance, while outside the window here was a biting cold wind, with no snow.

Perhaps intentionally echoing today’s holiday, the updated content took a warm route, depicting the police officer’s efforts to choose a holiday gift for the female mercenary, running around half the city after just finishing a case; during which, he also had to worry about the injured female mercenary being found by others, and called back every fifteen minutes.

Unbeknownst to the detective, he thought the female mercenary had already left, and bought wine and meat to go to the police officer’s rented house to celebrate together.

During such tense moments, the police officer still ran between various gift shops, agonizing over what gift could impress the female mercenary.

The update ended there.

At the end, as usual, the author threw out a multiple-choice question-

[What kind of gift would you most like to receive on this year’s Christmas/Christmas Eve?]

A A warm scarf

B Sweet chocolate

C A box of big apples

D Other- (please leave a message in the comment section)

Chloe scrolled down, there were quite a few comments, and everyone looked serious.

She happened to have something in mind and wrote a message-

[A little kitten: a fluffy and warm kitty.]
