Chapter 254

Chloe went to the bathroom to wash off the dirt on her body and changed into a different dress. She walked around the room to clear her mind and sober up.

The memory of Jordan kneeling in front of her, wiping the wine spill off her foot in front of everyone, made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

He had always been incredibly attentive to her.

But after that intense and passionate embrace, she found it difficult to face or accept Jordan’s kindness.

Chloe and Jordan had grown up together.

She had always seen him as an older brother and a subordinate. But he… Did he see her as a childhood friend or something more?

She couldn’t accept it.

Chloe sighed, feeling restless. Suddenly, she raised her eyes and saw Jordan standing not too far away, looking a bit pale.

“”Young miss.” He called out softly.

“Jordan? Why did you come over?” Chloe was slightly surprised.

Jordan’s throat moved dryly, and he walked over to her. “I was worried about you, so I came to check on you.”

“Jordan…”

“It’s been a week. Why won’t you let me… come back to you?” Jordan gazed at her deeply, his voice raspy.

“Because I’m waiting for you to make up your mind, to understand.”

Chloe pointed her toes, spun around gracefully, leaned against the wall, and met his gentle yet fragile gaze. ” Jordan, a week has passed. Have you made a decision?”

“Big sister… I like you.”

Jordan confessed with a trembling voice, “You can dislike me, hate me, but you can’t stop me from admiring you.”

“I’ve never hoped for you to accept me, and I dare not even dream about it… But Miss, I don’t think I’m doing anything wrong. Is it wrong to like someone?”

Chloe’s crystalline pupils shrank slightly.
