Rural Belle & Three Heirs

Sophia couldn't stick around any longer and quickly left. She never thought that after such a massive betrayal, Moira wouldn't confront Chloe.

With Sophia and Moira gone, Chloe was left speechless. She wasn't scared of pissing off Sophia, but crossing Moira was a whole different story.

She turned to Grant and snapped, "This is all your fault."

Grant and Zara both looked at her, confused.

Zara jumped to Grant's defense first.

"Chloe, don't be so ungrateful. When that awful Sophia was giving you a hard time, it was Mr. Martin who stepped in. If it weren't for him, do you think Sophia would have backed off so easily?

Mr. Martin really cares about you. Don't take his kindness for granted, right, Mr. Martin?"

Zara smiled warmly at Grant, like a mother-in-law approving of her son-in-law. She felt reassured leaving her best friend Chloe in the hands of such a handsome man.

Grant was impressed by Zara's words. He thought to himself that the Martin Group could consider some business collaborations with the Gibson family in the future.

Chloe was at a loss for what to do. "Zara, you don't get it. Miss Thorne is Grantie's arranged date. Grantie says he likes me, which just puts me in a tough spot. Miss Thorne will hate me for this! I can't handle this anymore!"

Zara suddenly remembered that Chloe had been trying to set up Moira with Grant to dodge an arranged marriage with the Martin family.

But now, with Grant confessing his feelings to Chloe, what was there to set up?

Besides, judging by Grant's behavior towards Chloe, it seemed he had no interest in Moira.

Seeing Chloe so distressed, Zara didn't know how to comfort her.

Unexpectedly, Grant sat down next to Chloe and whispered, "Don't worry, I'll handle this for you."

His gentle words made Chloe even more flustered, her face turning as red as an apple, almost too embarrassed to be seen.

She regretted not refusing Grant's offer to take care of her at the hospital.

Seeing Grant being so affectionate with Chloe, Zara decided it was time to leave. After staying a little longer, she said goodbye to Chloe.

Grant called out to her, speaking seriously, "Zara, I need to talk to you."

"Mr. Martin, what do you need?" Zara asked, lowering her stance in front of Grant.

"Well... Chloe isn't in good health and can't handle alcohol. So, from now on, don't invite her to drink anymore. That's all, you can go now."

Was Grant trying to make him friendless?

Chloe was so angry that she rolled her eyes at him.

Zara felt unfairly blamed. It was Chloe who had invited her to drink the other day. How

did it become her fault in Grant's eyes?

Grant was clearly biased.

However, she didn't dare to argue with Grant, she quickly left with her things.

After Zara left, Chloe grumbled to Grant, "Grantie, what are you doing? If you keep this up, I won't have any friends left.

First, I offended Moira, and now Zara. How am I supposed to get by in Sovereign City?" Seeing Chloe so upset, Grant smirked mischievously. He sat next to her, took her hand, and wrapped his arm around her shoulders, speaking softly, "It's okay, Chloe. With me by your side, you don't need any friends."

Grant's words made Chloe feel like she was about to faint.

A whole day had almost passed, and the thought that Grant wouldn't have to take care

of her after tomorrow filled Chloe with indescribable happiness. As long as she didn't have to stay with that boring and reserved Grant, she felt great.

During dinner, Michael called, he discussed with Grant, "Grant, it's my turn to take care of Chloe tomorrow. When should I come over?"

Grant frowned, clearly displeased, and replied, "Aren't you busy with filming? You don't need to worry about taking care of her."

"Grant, we agreed to take turns. What do you mean?" Michael protested.

He sensed that Grant wanted to take over Chloe's care entirely.

"It means I've taken a few days off to take care of Chloe. That's it." Grant hung up the phone with a decisive click, his authoritative tone leaving no room for argument. Chloe tentatively suggested to Grant, "Grantie, taking care of me is tiring. How about letting Mic come over tomorrow so you can rest?"

She just wanted to get rid of Grant.

Unexpectedly, Grant turned to look her in the eyes.

He asked, "Are you worried about me?"

Chloe was baffled by his question.

She thought to herself, 'Worried about him? It's ridiculous.'

Seeing her conflicted expression, Grant added, "Or do you prefer Michael and want to get rid of me?"

Grant's words hit the mark, and Chloe felt like a guilty child, lowering her head.

She mumbled, "Grantie, you misunderstood. I'm just worried that taking care of me is too much for you. I don't like Mic, I..."

Before she could finish, Grant swiftly pulled her into his arms.

Before Chloe could react, he leaned in and kissed her passionately.

This time, his kiss was intense, filled with anger, dominance, and a sense of possession.

In just a few seconds, Chloe felt a strong sense of suffocation.

She wanted to push Grant away, but the overwhelming masculine scent of his cologne invaded her senses, leaving her powerless to resist.

In an instant, she realized she was completely captivated by his kiss.

The two of them were so engrossed in their kiss that they didn't notice a figurenoveldrama
