Chapter 97 Chapter 97 Summer Frost POV I dashed out of my room as soon as I heard Xander's car honking from outside. He had left earlier to go pick Chloe up.
A smile formed on my lips as I descended the staircase and advanced toward the door. I could not wait for them to cinside, so I went to welcthem outside.
"Ma'am," Chloe's smile welcomedas soon as I stepped out of the house, and she ran into my arms. It felt good hugging her again. Thought it had only been a couple of days since we were not together, it felt like forever.
"I've missed you so much," I whined as I embraced her warmly.
"I've missed you two," Once I pulled away from her, I turned to Xander who was standing with her suitcase. He had gone to get it from the car trunk while we were hugging eachother..
"Thanks a lot for this, Xander. I will find a way to pay you back for this favor," I smiled at him excitedly, and he nodded.
"Thanks a lot, Sir," Chloe turned to him and bowed slightly.

"I need to step out for stime. I'll be back later in the day. You two should catch up," "Hmm," I watched as he walked over to his car, then hopped inside and drove out of the house.
I had no idea I was drooling over him until Chloe's voice disruptedand drewback to reality.
"How does it feel being here with him? You must really be happy." A smile formed on my face as I turned to her and nodded shyly. There was no point lying to her since I considered her my sister now.
"Con, let's go inside," "I'll take that," He tried to take her suitcase from me, but I pulled it away from her and shook my head.
"I got this," I patted her shoulder and walked ahead of her while she trailed behind me, Since we haven't decided yet which room she was going to stay, I took her to my room.
"We've not decided yet which room you'll be staying, but I don't have a problem with you staying here with me," I turned to her once we walked inside my room, and she nodded.
"Thank you, ma'am- 1/3 Chapter 97 "You can just addressby name, Chloe," I smiled at her, and she batted her eyelashes. Walking over to her, I pulled her into my arms once again and embraced her warmly.
"Thank you for hanging in there," I whispered while rubbing her back slowly.
"Thank you for hanging in there for me," I whispered, and she huggedback.
"Thank you for being there for me, ma'am. I don't know what would've becofif you didn't intervene," Her eyes brimmed with tears as she pulled away fromand looked at me.
"I thought I was going to end up on the street," A drop of tears slid down her cheek as she held her gaze low.
"You will never end up on the street for as long as I am here. That is a promise," I assured her as I held her shoulders, and she nodded.
"That's the way to the bathroom. Joindownstairs for lunch once you are done showering." I patted her shoulder and walked past her toward the door.
"The kids... What about them?" I paused and looked back at her with a smile on my face.
"You will see them soon. They ar something for her to eat.

"Can't he read the bold handwriting that I don't want to talk to him?" I muttered as I mute the phone and tossed it angrily on the counter before resuming what I was doing Shortly after the call ended, a text popped on the screen, and I curiously checked, but I a text popped on the screen, and I curiously checked, but I sighed when I saw it was from Hunter.
At first, I was just going to ignore the text we usually, but something kept tellingto open it, so I eventually did.
