After work, Derek arrived at the place that Asher had chosen.

Since he knew Derek, he did not choose noisy places, and the people he invited were familiar with Xavier.

Derek walked into the private room of the bar and saw a few familiar faces. He nodded slightly as a greeting.

Chloe sat on the sofa. Today, she wore a sexy red dress. It was neither long nor short, but it made her perfect figure more attractive. However, such a gorgeous color did not affect her temperament at all. She didn't look raffish in the red dress, but pretty gorgeous.

Asher came over and put his arm around Xavier's shoulder. "You haven't come out since the last time I saw you. You finally showed up.”

As he spoke, he looked at Chloe, who was sitting beside him. "Oh, for Chloe.”

Chloe lowered her head slightly. Obviously, Asher's words made her happy.

But soon she smiled confidently. "What are you talking about? Can't the wine shut your mouth?" Asher pushed Derek over to Chloe and made the two of them sit next to each other. "Okay, I'll drink and shut up."

Derek sat down calmly and did not open his mouth.

Instead, Chloe couldn't help but ask, "Derek, don't you have anything to say when you see me?" Before she came today, she had specially dressed up for a long time and picked out the dress only to give Derek a surprise, but this man didn't say anything, which made her eager to know.

"You look beautiful today."

Derek frowned almost invisibly, but still gave a polite compliment.

Chloe had always been beautiful. Today she was dressed up beautifully, but looked very aggressive. Xavier Jinyan didn't know why, but it reminded him of Meredith's clean face. She did not wear any makeup, but also looked comfortable.

Chloe was a little happy to hear Derek's praise, but it wasn't enough.

She wanted Derek to be fascinated by her again, but his attitude now was just like that of an ordinary friend. It was obvious that he didn't take her to heart.

Just as the atmosphere between the two of them became a little strange, Jameson arrived.

As he pushed the door open, he saw the “perfect couple’ sitting together and raised the corner of his lip wickedly. "Am I not coming in at the right time?"

However, he thought of Meredith, who was brought over by Derek the last time, and changed a playful look. "Well, Derek, you've changed. You did bring the best of two different styles.”

Asher wanted to slap Jameson to death. Didn't he see Chloe's eyes glued to Derek? Wasn't it obvious that she was trying to make up?

Why did he mention the unimpressive woman that nobody wanted to hear?

Jameson pretended he didn't see it, because he did not think Chloe and Derek could be together again.

They used to have sweet memories, just like princesses and princes in the fairytale, but now they had grown up and were no longer children under the protection of their parents.

What's more, Chloe never came back when Derek was having the most difficult time. Could they really get over this?

Jameson was not optimistic at all. If two people with strong personalities were forced to be together, they would only hurt each other.

The smile on Chloe's face froze. Soon, she thought of the woman who called Derek in the car. At that time, Derek's expression was relaxed and completely different from the current indifference. What Jameson said further supported her suspicion.

Derek glared at him and threw a bottle of wine at him. The wine almost hit Jameson's head. Fortunately, he caught it quickly.

"You're so talkative. It looks like you're very free."

Jameson smiled. He asked someone to open the bottle of foreign wine, poured a glass, and drank elsewhere.

Chloe clenched her lips, looked at Derek's calm face, and felt complicated in her heart.

It turned out that he already had someone else, so he was so cold to herself.

However, she missed three years of his life just for a momentary slip. Should she spend the rest of her life paying for it?

Naturally, Chloe was not reconciled. She got up, walked out, and took Asher with her.

"Who did Jameson say just now?"

Asher and Chloe grew up together. She could be with Derek at that time mostly thanks to Asher as a match-maker.

"Oh, the girl. You really don't have to worry about it. A cleaner. She looks cute, but other than that, she's got nothing on you."

Asher said nonchalantly.

For a person from a noble family like Derek, even he didn't care about her family background, he would never marry a cleaner. If nothing else, it would make his family feel embarrassed, wouldn't it? "Cleaner? Do you know what she looks like?" Chloe did not take it lightly. When she thought of the tone of voice Derek spoke to that woman, she felt a strong sense of crisis.

"Well, she didn't wear makeup, she's pretty, but she's definitely not as pretty as you."

Hearing Asher's words, Chloe's eyes darkened. It turned out that Derek liked this type now, so it was completely wrong for her to dress up today.

"If you see her later, tell me.”

Asher nodded and looked at her. "Do you really want to save it? This time, you won't just walk away, will you?"

Chloe shook her head. "This time, I was determined to get it. When I left the country, I realized that the person I loved was him. I couldn't love anyone else at all.”

Asher nodded and answered, "Don't worry. I'll help you wherever I can. I'll be waiting for your wedding.”

Chloe nodded and whispered a few words in his ear before the two of them walked out. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Findɴovel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Back in the box, after a few more pleasantries, Asher offered to go outside and invite Chloe to show her strength as an internationally renowned musician.

Chloe readily agreed and walked to the piano in the lobby on the first floor.

Her every move was so graceful and made people unwilling to disturb. For a moment, the noisy hall quieted down.

The beautiful piano music flowed out from Chloe's fingers. She was playing a lyrical song. Her slender white fingers were flying up and down the keys like beautiful butterflies.

Everyone was intoxicated with this refreshing music. Derek looked at her from afar, and the memory of when Chloe was a little girl appeared in his mind.

At this time, Chloe finished playing and stood up. In the applause of everyone, she looked up at Derek on the second floor. "I wrote this song myself, and it's for someone I love."
