Chapter 64: Enjoying one’s own bowl while eyeing the pot

Unexpectedly, just as Chloe Collins reached the doorway, she saw Alexander Foster leading a Samoyed dog down the stairs.

He stopped on a certain step, overlooking her from above, "Why are you coming back so late?"

Chloe squinted her eyes, feeling that his words carried a strange undertone.

Moreover, his gaze was different from his usual coldness.

"I had some matters to attend to, so I came back a bit late." She said.

Alexander kept walking down, "Were you coming up to look for me?"

Ahem, ahem, ahem...

Chloe felt at a loss for words.

Why did she feel that this man was going to overthink things again?

"Yes, I went to the temple today, and my master asked me to give you something." She said.

Alexander’s indifferent gaze shifted to her, taking note of the amulet in her palm.

"I don’t need this kind of thing."

As soon as he finished speaking, he gestured for the dog to run towards the sports field on its own, while he himself also moved that way.

Chloe glanced upstairs, thought for a moment, and suddenly changed her mind.

She followed him as well.

Although it was a private sports field, it was fully equipped and spacious enough.

The dog was obviously used to running around in such a place. As soon as it entered, it ran towards the toy house, biting and dragging out its toys.

Alexander just stood here, walking leisurely, occasionally gesturing or making a move to elicit a response from the dog.

Chloe blocked his way, holding the amulet in front of him, "It’s for you, so just take it."

Alexander still didn’t take it.

He slightly lowered his gaze, "Why are your shoes so dirty?"

Chloe looked down, noticing her shoes with some mud on them.

It must have been picked up on the dirt road outside.

"Walking on mountain roads, it’s inevitable." She said.

"The roads in Harville Temple are smooth, and there are no dirt roads in or out of the temple." He spoke very plainly.

Chloe frowned, was he trying to expose her for going to the suburbs?

What did that have to do with him?

Didn’t he mind his own business?

At this moment, the Samoyed dog approached, biting a bag containing more than a dozen balls. In front of him, it tried to bite two balls at once.

However, biting one caused the other to fall.

Alexander squatted down, picked up a ball, and emotionlessly said to the dog, "If you’ve bitten one, don’t covet the second one. Eventually, you’ll just end up empty-handed if you try to have the best of both worlds."

Samoyed: "???"

Chloe: "???"

She had initially wanted to find an opportunity to chat with him, seeing if she could get some information. But considering the situation, she decided against it.

Talking more would only lead to mistakes and more misunderstandings.

"I’ll leave it here. It’s up to you whether you want it or not."

Setting the amulet down, she walked away.

Alexander’s gaze briefly followed her figure before returning to the amulet.

In the end, he picked up the amulet and suddenly touched something.

A small, round bead was stuck in the triangular amulet, only about a centimeter in size and dark grey in color.

A subtle scent wafted over, extremely comforting to the senses, as if one was in the fresh air after a rainfall.

Pinching the bead-like pellet, he fell deep in thought.

-

After taking a shower, Chloe sat at her desk, taking out the unfinished red rope bracelet and continued working on the final step.

Transparent beads were wrapped around the red rope, and each bead could be opened. She placed small fragrance beads of different colors inside each one.

However, one was missing.

After searching for a while, she remembered the amulet.

Most likely, it got stuck inside.

Just as she was thinking about it, the door was suddenly knocked on.
