Chapter 668: If Only I Had Confessed Earlier
Auntie King immediately said, "You’re already twenty-five, twenty-six and still not seeing anyone. How can I not be worried? Just now, you were feeding me a line about finding a boyfriend, coming back here to get married and have kids for me to look after. Heaven knows when that’ll ever happen."
Fiona Linton: "..."
She buried her face in her hands!
’Help me!’
’This is so embarrassing!’
Nathaniel Monroe smiled and said, "Auntie King, I’m already married."
"Huh?" Auntie King was taken aback. "You’re married already, at your age?"
That came out a little strange, and Auntie King realized it herself. She quickly corrected herself, saying, "What I mean is, young people these days get married and have children late. It’s rare for someone like you to be married already. Your parents must be so relieved."
Nathaniel Monroe lowered his gaze slightly and said, "I actually regret waiting so long to get married. I should have confessed my feelings to her as soon as I realized them. Our kids might have been running all over the place by now."
Chloe Reed looked at him, a complex light shimmering in her expressive eyes.
Auntie King was very envious. "How wonderful."
Then, she looked back at Fiona Linton. "You should learn from him. And then look at yourself. I don’t even want to talk about it..."
Fiona Linton: "..."
’Give me a break, AHHH!’
She didn’t say a word, just kept her head down and focused on her food.
The tense atmosphere at the dinner table completely vanished.
Auntie King prepared three guest rooms. Daniel Hayes and Nathaniel Monroe were staying downstairs, while Chloe Reed was upstairs.
Fiona Linton said, "You might feel a little off when you wake up tomorrow morning. If anything happens, tell me right away, and I’ll figure out what’s going on."
Chloe Reed nodded, then typed on her phone, "Thank you."
Fiona Linton just smiled and said, "We’re allies now, which means we’re friends. And friends don’t need to be so formal with each other. Just wire the consultation fee to my account."
After saying that, she chuckled a few times.
Chloe Reed’s lips curved into a smile, and she nodded.
Fiona Linton looked at her face, let out a soft sigh, and said, "You two have such similar faces. How can she look so mean and disgusting, while you’re so beautiful?"
Chloe Reed blinked, not expecting her to suddenly switch to this topic.
Fiona Linton asked again, "Are you sure you’re not her relative?"
Chloe Reed lowered her gaze and typed, "Maybe I am, but I don’t know."
Fiona Linton snapped her fingers. "I’ve got it! You were swapped at birth, weren’t you? It’s a classic case of the real and fake heiress, right? You’re the real one, and that Vera Holloway is the fake, which is why she wanted to kill you?!"
Chloe Reed looked a little dazed, then slowly nodded. Perhaps that was the case.
"That explains everything!" Fiona Linton felt like a genius. "These people are disgusting, capable of anything from arson to murder. People like them should go to hell!"
Chloe Reed nodded, completely agreeing with her.
Fiona Linton yawned and said, "Alright, alright, let’s get some sleep. We have to get up early tomorrow."
"Mm."
Chloe Reed made a sound of agreement and pushed open the door to her guest room.
Once inside, she took her clothes to the bathroom and took a hot shower, washing away all her exhaustion. Then, she lay down on the bed, thinking about everything that had happened that day.
After a while, she took out her phone and sent a message to Walker Grant, telling him everything that had happened today.
He wasn’t here, but he should know everything that was going on. Perhaps it would help him form a different assessment.
After all, he was the one who had been investigating the Holloway Family all along.
’I wonder how the investigation is going.’
