NovelEnglishChapter 137: "Chloe, are you all right?" Aelfric inquired Chloe wiped her tears and sobbed, "I'm fine, Aelfric." "Chloe is upset because of Tiffany," said Melinda, her voice tinged with indignation Aelfric turned to Melinda. "What happened?" After explaining the recent events, Melinda added emphatically, "Chloe's kindness is being wasted on Tiffany, who is nothing but ungrateful. And as for Connor, he's just blind and heartless." "Melinda, please," Chloe interjected, pulling at Melinda's sleeve. "Tiffany has endured a lot since her childhood. She's truly miserable, and all I want is for her to have a brighter future." "Chloe, your heart is pure, but you shouldn't waste it on someone as heartless as Tiffany," Aelfric advised softly. "Stay away from Tiffany from now on. And don't worry about Connor; I'll make sure he regrets how he treated you." Aelfric's words resonated deeply with Chloe. He was not only capable but also assertive, openly showing his affection for her. Whenever she caught his affectionate gaze, her heart skipped a beat. Yet, she knew he wasn't the one for her. Despite his qualities, he didn't measure up to Connor. She aimed to marry someone of the highest caliber to avoid being overshadowed by her sister Although choosing Aelfric as her spouse was off the table, Chloe couldn't risk losing such a capable support. So she decided to feign ignorance of his feelings, maintaining an air of innocence to keep him around Melinda tugged at Chloe's arm. "Don't be downhearted, Chloe. My brother will always be there for you." "Thank you, Aelfric. Being aggrieved doesn't bother me," Chloe said, smiling warmly. "When you know what you are doing is right, you won't be affected by others' harsh words." Captivated by her smile, Aelfric praised her, "Your insight and clarity are a rarity. Most are mediocre, but you, you are in a class of your own." Blushing, Chloe looked down, while Melinda pouted playfully. "Aelfric, such words might makejealous." Laughing, Aelfric gently pinched Melinda's cheek. "While Chloe might be the queen, you are my cherished little princess. You might not share her beauty and talents, but I will guard you all my life." "That's not fair to say, Aelfric. Melinda is as beautiful and talented as me," Chloe protested "It's alright, Chloe,” Melinda reassured her. “I may not have your beauty or talent, but I accept that I'm not jealous. After all, one day you'll be my sister-in-law, and we won't be rivals.” "Oh, Melinda! What are you talking about?" Chloe asked, feigning coyness. "I don't want to talk to you anymore. I'm leaving." After her declaration, Chloe glanced shyly at Aelfric. She stomped her feet and walked away "Chloe, wait for me," Melinda called out, hurrying after her Aelfric watched the two girls leave and smiled. A vivid picture flashed in his mind: he imagined himself finally defeating Connor and standing majestically on the throne as the king, with Chloe in her snow-white wedding gown nestled shyly in his arms-a perfect match for him Ten hours later, Marissa emerged from the operating room, visibly exhausted.
