âWho knows, this girlâ¦â Mrs. Chambers soon realized that Sean seemed to want to see Chloe, he and Chloe were about the same age, they had known each other since childhood, they were basically made for each other, and they knew each other very well, in Mrs. Chambersâ eyes, they were perfect for each other.
She had watched Sean grow up.
When she realized that Sean wanted to see Chloe, she changed the subject just when she wanted to say something, âIâm going to get her, you should talk to each other.â Sean smiled, of course he liked that.
He was here to see Chloe anyway.
Mrs. Chambers came upstairs, Chloe was sitting in front of her mirror going over the Matthews news from over the years, most of it was about finances.
Squeakâ
Mrs. Chambers opened the door and walked in, âChloeâ¦â
Chloe closed her laptop and looked at her mother, âMom, why didnât you knock on the door?â
âI forgot.â Mrs. Chambers looked at the laptop she had just closed, âWhat were you looking at?â.
âNothing.â Chloe put the laptop back in the drawer, âCan I help you?â
âNoah is here.â Said Mrs. Chamber.
Chloe was a little surprised, âHeâs back?â
Mrs. Chambers nodded, âI heard he just got back, he came looking for you, Chloeâ¦â
âMom.â Chloe waved ânoâ at her mother.
She knew what she meant.
It couldnât be anything other than being with Sean, she thought she and Sean were a good match.
Mrs. Chambers didnât know that Eddie wanted her to marry Matthew.
Chloe got up and went to the door.
Mrs. Chambers didnât give up and continued, âChloe, our family and the Harris Family are perfectâ¦â
âMom.â Chloe interrupted her mother, she was quite impatient, âI donât like it, donât tell me we are made for each other, stop trying to put us together, okay?â
Mrs. Chambers didnât understand, Sean was handsome, his family background was great, why didnât she like him?
âChloe, doesnât a girl need a man she has understood well, with a good family, our family and the Harrisâs make a good couple, why donât you think so?â.
Chloe didnât want to listen to her mother anymore, she looked at her and said, âMom, I like someone else.â
âWho is it?â Mrs. Chambers was surprised, Chloe had very high expectations, she had rejected many men, now that she liked someone, Mrs. Chambers was very curious.
Chloe didnât answer her directly, âYouâll find out.â Then she came down the stairs in slippers.
âWhen did you get back?â Chloe asked Sean who was sitting on the couch downstairs.
Sean looked at her, âNot long ago.â
Chloe sat down on the couch and took an apple from the fruit plate, âWhy are you here visiting me?â
âItâs been a while since weâve seen each other, hasnât it?â.
Chloe thought for a while, it seemed she was right, âItâs been two years, the last time I saw you was New Yearâs, you havenât been back in the last two years.â
âTime flies so fast, youâve grown into a woman, do you have a boyfriend?â
When Sean asked her about having a boyfriend, she saw Matthewâs face in her mind, the apple she was chewing suddenly became sweeter, she smiled, âYes I do.â
âWow, you have high expectations, who can live up to them?â Chloe was very picky, Marina once told her that she had been on blind dates before and just left them, she would be too blunt and just say the person was too ugly.
Actually, he wasnât ugly, he was just average looking, he had a good family background, but she wouldnât give him a chance.
Chloe looked at Sean for a few seconds, âYou know him.â
âDo I know him, who is he?â Sean was quite curious, he didnât have many friends, and he didnât know many people, as far as he could remember, there was no one close to his age.
Mrs. Chambers was listening, she wanted to know who he was too.
âI wonât tell you now, youâll know when the time comes, thenâ¦â She didnât say the rest of the sentence.
If she really wanted to marry Matthew. Sean would have to call her sister-in-law.
And not for her to call Sean brother.
That would change.
âWhy all the secrecy?â Sean asked, although he was very curious about his boyfriend, but he didnât forget why he was there. âDo you have time now? Letâs go have some fun.â
Chloe looked at him with disdain, âI always have time, but you, can you go out? Arenât you afraid people will recognize you? Youâre a star now.â
Sean looked at her, âAnd arenât stars human, donât they need to eat and sleep? If I want to have fun I wonât be afraid of being recognized.â
Chloe smiled, âOkay, wait for me, Iâll change.â
Sean said, âOkay, Iâll wait here.â
Chloe went upstairs, after a little over ten minutes, she came downstairs in a beautiful suit.
Sean stood up, âLetâs go.â
âWhere are we going?â Chloe asked.
Sean looked at her, a strange look passed in his eyes, âYouâll see when we get there.â
âAre you trying to surprise me?â Chloe asked with a laugh.
Sean looked at her and narrowed his eyes, âSomething like that.â
