Chapter 563 Unspoken Concerns "I understand, Grandpa," Michael responded.
Admas huffed. "Take Chloe home!" Out of of all the things Admas had said, this was the only one that resonated with Michael.
Chloe initially wanted to refuse. She was about to say she could just ride back with Candy, but then she remembered that Candy wasn't going back to Urban Lane with her. Plus, Wesley was standing right beside her. As for Jessica, she had Quinn by her side. Chloe looked to James for help, but he simply waved his hand and said, "My hand's injured, so I called Harold to pickup." "Great, they were all abandoning me, weren't they?" Chloe thought.
In the end, Chloe found herself in Michael's car, sitting in the passenger seat. She glanced over at him and asked, "Were the fireworks today your idea?" Michael's grip on the steering wheel tightened. He figured she must have guessed by now, and even if he lied, she wouldn't believe him. So, he muttered, "Yeah." Chloe felt a mix of emotions. Although things had gone wrong, she could tell from Admas' words that it wasn't Michael's intention. "Thank you." Michael's expression got better immediately, but before he could say anything, she added, "But don't do this kind of thing again." Chloe thought, "I didn't think he needed to put in this much effort for me." Michael's expression dimmed once more.

E "The visa will be I be ready tomorrow, so I'll probably leave early the day after." day after tomorrow... which meant I only had one day left. asked I had already ked her to stay countless times before. Repeating it now felt pointless," Michael thought.
"The incident at the fireworks display. No one was hurt, but you should still issue a statement to prevent people from making a fuss about it." Chloe considered the day's events. With so many people at the scene, it wasn't something they could just ignore.
"Even i if there's no clear answer about the light fixture, you need to release a statement to calm public concerns and maintain trust in Paramount Airlines." Her expression was serious, her advice logical, as she helped him handle the situation.
Michael nodded. "Don't worry, I'll issue a statement tomorrow and do my best to minimize the impact." "Good." When they arrived at Urban Lane, Chloe got out of the car and saw Michael unbuckling his seatbelt. She said, "You don't need to get out. I'll go up by myself. You should head back." Michael paused but then continued to unbuckle his seatbelt. "I'll walk you up." This was a townhouse, and since the building was low, there was no elevator.
He didn't feel comfortable letting her go up alone.
He walked her to the door, and as Chloe unlocked it and stepped inside, she noticed him still standing there, looking expectant. She sighed inwardly, didn't close the door, and walked straight into the kitchen. Michael hael thought this was her way of inviting him in, so with a grin, he stepped inside.
Just as he did, Chloe emerged, holding a bottle of water. "What are you doing?" Michael was startled. He quickly retracted the foot he had just stepped in with.
Chloe handed him the bottle of water. "Thanks for bringinghome. Take this for the road. Goodnight." With a loud sound, she shut the door.
Michael stood there holding the cold bottle of water, then turned and went downstairs.
Chloe went to the bathroom. After finishing her shower, just as she was about to dry her hair, she heard a knock on the door.

started, "Why are you back..."
But she hadn't even finished her sentence when she saw Quinn, m swede dripping with sweat, standing at her door. She was momentarily stunned but stepped aside to let him in.
"Why are you so sweaty?" She poured him a glass of water and sat down on the sofa beside him. "Did you drop Jessica off?" Quinn held the glass, his expression serious, but he nodded. "Yeah." Noticing his expression, Chloe sensed something was wrong and asked, "Is she okay?" "She's fine." Hearing that, Chloe let out a sigh of relief.
She looked down, continuing to talk to herself, "Today must have been terrifying for all of you especiallyn Jessica check on her tomorrow..." Suddenly, Quinn set the glass down on the table with a loud clink, startling Chloe. Chloe was startled and asked, "What's wrong?"
