Chapter 151 I Love You, Chloe
Pursing her lips, Chloe said, “I guess so. He has helped me a lot, and there’s no turning back.
now.”
With the contract signed, resisting was meaningless. It was better to go along with it and avoid unnecessary trouble. Besides, she could not win against that guy in an argument anyway.
Hearing her response, Icarus looked at her with tender eyes and said, “You can tell me. I’ll help you I don’t want to see you suffer.”
“No, no, it’s fine. I’ll work hard on my own,” she replied.
Three years was not a short time. However, she was young and still had much time ahead of
her.
“You don’t have to treat me like an outsider. I may not be as wealthy as Mr. Joseph, but I do have some assets. If you ever face difficulties, I can help you anytime, anywhere, as long as you don’t…”
‘As long as you don’t degrade yourself like this.’
Chloe was deeply moved, and a relieved smile appeared on her fair face. “I really am okay. You should focus your energy on your own matters. I’m not someone who fusses over everything. If I encounter something I can’t handle, I’ll definitely come to you.”
Apart from Joseph’s occasional tantrum, he was generally good to her.
After being rejected by Chloe repeatedly, Icarus knew he should drop the subject but he just could not help himself. After all, he did not know when they would meet again after this.
separation.
“Chloe, I’m saying all this because I love you. You’re a wonderful woman, and I want you to be my girlfriend. More than that, I want you to give me a chance to take care of you. Mr. Joseph can help you, but I can help you too.”
Chloe had not expected Icarus to confess his feelings at this moment. She was completely
stunned.
‘But I’m already married.’
Her mind raced, and she responded tactfully, “We’re not compatible. You deserve someone
better.”
“You’re the best,” Icarus praised generously, “You’re the toughest girl I’ve ever met. Even when faced with setbacks, you treat life with kindness, never giving up or complaining. You’re kind, yet you’re not a pushover. But nevertheless, don’t feel pressured to give me a response.”
His gaze was warm, his words gentle as he continued, “I’m just telling you that I love you. You
don’t have to give me an answer now. I’ll wait for you.”
Confronted with his sincere gaze, Chloe found herself at a loss for words. Her mind was a jumbled mess as she stammered, “Please, Icarus… I’m not as good as you think…”
“It’s okay, Chloe. I’ll wait for you. One day, you’ll break free from that unhealthy relationship of yours.”
She froze, and silence filled the air.
‘Unhealthy relationship? Is he talking about Joseph and me?”
Chloe felt a strange discomfort in her heart. She stood there, stunned.
Icarus realized he said something wrong when she did not respond and anxiously tried to explain, but Ava suddenly walked over and interrupted, cutting off his words.
“Chloe, it’s Daddy’s birthday. How about you go up and say a few words?”
Chloe looked to the stage and saw the emcee beckoning at her.
“I won’t be going.”
Ava gritted her teeth and lowered her voice. “Don’t you want Emily’s photos?”
Chloe raised an eyebrow and looked at her indifferently. She discreetly switched on the recorder pen in her hand and said, “Emily’s ex-boyfriend has already confessed. The police are gathering evidence against you.”
“No! That’s impossible! I didn’t make the deal. How could they trace it back to me?” Ava immediately retorted.
As soon as the words left her mouth, Ava realized something and glared at Chloe with malice.”
You tricked me?”
“Yes, I didn’t have evidence before, but now I do,” Chloe teased, shaking the recorder pen in her hand and flashing Ava a smile “By the way, don’t bother trying to snatch the recorder from me. It has a Bluetooth function and is synced to my laptop.”
“You’ve got some skills, but I’m not afraid either,” Ava replied, her anger abating. “Hurry up and go up on stage. Daddy wants to return your mother’s assets to you. You wouldn’t want to give up on that, would you?”
After Ava finished speaking, the emcee on stage called out Chloe again.
“Ms. Chloe, your father has something for you. Could you please come up?”
Chloe furrowed her brow. In the past, she would have naively believed in Ava, but not anymore. She was confident that they were up to something no good.
Standing on the stage, Benjamin offered her a gentle expression. “Come up here, sweetie.”
Chloe narrowed her eyes, stood up, and confidently walked toward the stage. She wanted to
