Chapter 229: Avenge

I longed for a moment of solitude, so I closed my eyes and let out a deep sigh. But as soon as I did, Chloe's face appeared in my mind's eye, her beauty causing my heart to skip a beat. I couldn't shake the feeling that I was constantly thinking about her, even when I was alone.
