Chapter 19: Chapter 19 Can I sleep with you tonight?
Seeing Sasha looking so pitiful, even Chloe herself doubted if she really abused her after Daniel left.
But Sasha sneered in secret observing Chloe's reaction.
"You didn't have lunch. No wonder you are having a stomachache." Daniel pretended he didn't hear her complaint and turned to the topic directly.
Not long ago, Sasha called him suddenly, saying that she had a stomachache and needed to see a doctor right now.
So he canceled the meeting and rushed back considering Sasha's emergency and Chloe's injury.
But now he looked at Sasha who clearly wasn't suffering from stomachache, he knew she just wanted to make a scene. "Since you aren't feeling well, I'll take you to the hospital to have a check."
Chloe also understood what was going on now, so she added, "Yes, that's right. You should have told me about your stomachache earlier. Let's go to the hospital now. I believe the doctor will give us a reasonable diagnosis."
Chloe wanted to see what tricks Sasha was playing as well.
"I don't need your care. I have my cousin, and you are just nobody!" Sasha roared in a low voice but stopped by Daniel's fierce gaze.
"Since Miss Sasha doesn't need me, your dear cousin can go with you. So you'd better start off now, right?"
Sasha wanted to refuse but couldn't find a proper excuse. In the end, she had to go to the hospital with Daniel.
After some examinations, the doctor said that maybe she ate too many snacks so she had a stomachache.
Sasha explained, "I was so hungry that I ate snacks."
But Daniel didn't buy that. As he drove her home, he kept silent all the way.
While Sasha knew he was mad at her so she peeked at him in secret from time to time.
Anyway, he rushed back for her because he did care about her, right?
"Daniel, I am so bored at home. Can I go to the company with you?" Sasha begged in a coquettish way, "I promise I will behave myself. I won't cause you any trouble."
Daniel thought for a while and then turned around, driving to the company directly.
While Chloe had been waiting at home for a long time, but no one came back. She was a little worried.
It took them so long. Could anything go wrong?
Maybe she should ask. She took out her phone but as she saw Daniel's phone number, she paused.
After hesitating for a long time, she changed her mind. It was their family business after all.
"Chloe, what do you want to have for supper?" Helen walked over and asked her.
Chloe looked up and answered, "Maybe something light, Helen?"
Helen nodded. Light food was good to the stomach, so obviously, Chloe was still worried about Sasha, more or less.
But they had waited and Daniel and Sasha didn't come back until 9 pm.
Hearing Sasha's laughter, Chloe felt she was so stupid to worry about her.
Chloe glanced at the cold food and walked to the elevator without saying a word.
Sasha was very happy following Daniel. After seeing Chloe, she changed her look at once.
"Daniel, does Chloe dislike me?" Sasha asked sadly as if she was a miserable kid abandoned by Chloe.
Back in the morning, she was still boasting, but now she looked like a different person.
Daniel didn't answer and followed Chloe to the elevator.
Sasha carried plenty of shopping bags in her hands. As she saw Daniel following Chloe without saying anything to her, she became unhappy and ran after him.
While waiting for the elevator, Daniel stood silently beside Chloe. When it arrived, he turned to Chloe, "After you."
Chloe said coldly, "Thanks, Mr. Bruce."
Later, she left the elevator and walked towards her room without any words. Clearly, she was angry about him and didn't want to speak to him.
Daniel looked at her back, seeming to be pondering.
Alone in her room, Chloe was still thinking about Daniel. What was wrong with her? Why could he still affect her so easily? She told herself to give up on him, but now she was getting obsessed with him again...
No! It's wrong!
Ten million was a lot of money, especially for her, a newly graduated student. Maybe she should find a job first.
In her previous life, she started to work in the entertainment business after her marriage to Daniel. But now maybe she should start sooner.
Chloe made a simple plan in her mind. She should recover for another month and then she would apply for some jobs and have interviews.
What's more, she should lose weight and stay fit.
At the same time, Daniel was drying his hair and suddenly stopped.
He was not used to Chloe's cold attitude. Or in other words, he enjoyed her enthusiasm and bright smile.
Before Sasha showed up, Chloe always greeted him every time he came back. Her warm smile and sweet voice cheered him up from tiring work.
Realizing he missed her warmth, he couldn't help laughing at himself. What was he thinking? Was she special to him?
If not, why did he buy that swing for her? But since he already bought it, how came he didn't give it to her.
Daniel looked at the box on the terrace and got confused by himself.
He stood up, walking to the box. If she got the present, she must be so excited and happy.
"Ah!"
Suddenly, a scream pierced the silence of the night.
What happened? Daniel walked out to check in a hurry.
Sasha stood outside her room, her face full of fear.
Clearly, she made that scream.
Daniel frowned, "What's the matter?"
"A...a mouse!" Sasha murmured frightened, hiding behind Daniel and grabbing him on his shirt tightly.
Being touched by others, Daniel frowned deeply, his face darkening. But seeing Sasha scared crazily, he guessed he had to bear her for a while.
He took a breath and turned to Sasha, "Let go of me first and I will go in to have a look."
Sasha loosened her hand reluctantly, trembling and nodding.
Daniel turned on the light in her bedroom. On the carpet beside the bed lay a dead mouse covered in blood.
"Did you just step on it and kill it?"
Sasha shook her head and denied, "No, I didn't. As soon as I came in, I saw a black thing on the ground which scared me out immediately."
Recalling the bloody scene just now, Sasha couldn't help grabbing Daniel on his arm tightly.
Daniel asked Helen to clean the mess.
Then he rubbed his sore temple, "It's getting late. Go to bed now."
However, Sasha kept silent for a while without answering him. Confused, Daniel turned to her curiously.
Sasha looked so pitiful right now. She seemed to be gathering all her courage and finally, she asked in a low voice.
"Daniel, can I sleep with you tonight?"
