Just completing the thing that Cormac had told him was enough.
He took the escalator to the basement parking, he pressed on the unlock key, then pulled the car’s door open and got into the car. His phone rang at the time, it was Tommy Huff who was looking for him. He had to go to the shopping mall now, this game hadn’t ended.
Tommy let him go together with Loredana.
“I have no time.” Sean hit on the hands-free button, then threw his phone onto the front passenger seat.
He reversed his car out of the garage.
“You can’t be absent.” Even if this was a game, but it was contract-bound, penalty for the contract was needed if they didn’t complete it.
“You must come, and…”
“I’ve said that I have no time, do you understand?” Sean grabbed his phone and hung up the phone.
The phone rang again when he just put it down, he grabbed the phone and hit on the answer button, he yelled, “You settle by yourself!”
Sean switched off his phone after telling this, he worried that Tommy would continue calling him.
He drove very fast to the house of Chambers family.
The two families lived close to each other and he had gone to the same school as Chloe, Chloe had always followed behind him, calling him brother when they were young.
He stopped the car by the roadside, walked there and knocked the door, only Chloe Chambers and Mrs. Chambers were staying at home while Eddie Chambers was not. It was Mrs Chambers who had opened the door for him.
“Noah, starting when you’re back?” Mrs. Chambers asked warmly when she saw that it was Sean.
Sean smiled, “I just came back not long before.”
“Faster come in.” Mrs. Chambers stepped aside to let Sean come in, Mrs. Chambers then followed after closing the door, “You’re just too stubborn to get angry with your father, after all you’re still his son, you shall come back more often when you’re free to visit him.”
The two families were familiar with each other, so the way they talked was direct and not beating the bush.
“Can I have some water?”
Sean didn’t want to listen to these, he was already an adult and he knew what he was doing.
Mrs. Chambers patted her thigh, “I just focus on talking with you, I’ve forgotten to ask you if you’re thirsty, what drink do you want?”
“Plain water is okay.” Sean sat on the sofa and glanced at the second floor, it was the time to come to the topic, he asked tentatively, “Why I don’t see Chloe, is she at home? I feel like it’s been a long time since I saw her.”
Mrs. Chambers was pouring the water, “Chloe is upstairs, she is quite in earnest these two days that she doesn’t hang out with her friends at all.”
“Oh.” Sean raised his eyebrow subconsciously, it was good that she was at home, so that he had the confidence to fool her going out.
“Drink some water.” Mrs. Chambers gave him a cup of water.
Sean took the water, “What is she doing at home every day? Don’t she feel bored?”
“Who knows, this child…” Mrs. Chambers noticed quite soon that Sean seemed to want to see Chloe, he and Chloe were about the same age, they have known each other since their childhood, they were basically made for each other, and they knew each other very well, in Mrs. Chambers eyes, they were perfect for each other.
She had watched Sean grow up.
When she noticed that Sean wanted to see Chloe, she changed the topic just as she wanted to say something, “I will get her, you guys should catch up.”
Sean smiled, of course he liked that.
He was here to see Chloe anyways.
Mrs. Chambers went upstairs, Chloe was sitting in front of her mirror checking Cormacs’ news of these years, most of them were about finances. Squeak–
Mrs. Chambers opened the door and went inside, “Chloe…”
Chloe closed her laptop and looked at her mother, “Mom, why didn’t you knock?”
“I forgot.” Mrs. Chamber looked at the laptop she just closed, “What were you looking at?”
“Nothing.” Chloe put her laptop in the drawer, “Can I help you?”
“Noah is here.” Mrs. Chamber said.
Chloe was a little surprised, “He is back?”
Mrs. Chambers nodded, “I heard he just got back, he came looking for you, Chloe…”
“Mom.” Chloe gestured a “no” to her mother.
She knew what she wanted to say.
It could be nothing except for her to be with Sean, she thought Sean and her were a good couple.
Mrs. Chambers didn’t know about Eddie wanting her to marry Cormac.
Chloe got up and went towards the door.
Mrs. Chambers didn’t give up and continued, “Chloe, our family and the Harris family are perfect…”
“Mom.” Chloe interrupted her mother, she was quite impatient, “I don’t like him, don’t tell me that we are made for each other, stop getting us together, okay?”
Mrs. Chambers didn’t understand, Sean was handsome, his family background was great, why didn’t she like him?
“Chloe, doesn’t a girl need a man she understood well, with a good family, our family and Harris family are a good match, why don’t you think about it?”
Chloe didn’t want to listen to her mother anymore, she looked at her and said, “Mom, I like someone else.”
“Who is it?” 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 didn’t answer her directly, “You’ll know.”
Then, she went downstairs in her slippers.
“When did you get back?” Chloe asked Sean who was sitting on the couch downstairs.
Sean looked up at her, “Not long ago.”
Chloe sat down on the couch and took an apple from the fruit plate, “Why are you here visiting me?”
“We haven’t met in a while, have we?”
Chloe thought for a while, he seemed to be right, “It’s been two years, last time when I met you was new years, you haven’t been back the past two years.”
“Time flies so fast, you have grown into a woman, do you have a boyfriend?”
