Chapter 551
Lucy blamed herself for not being able to help at all. Hudson had repeatedly asked Lucy to talk to Chloe for him, hoping that Chloe would at least give him a phone call.
However, Hudson and Lucy had overestimated themselves. Chloe's disappointment and indifference seemed irreparable, and not even God could help.
It appeared that Hudson would need a lot more time to change Chloe's mind.
"I'm sorry, Chloe. I had no idea Hudson did that to you. If I had known the truth, I wouldn't have helped him.”
"It's okay. It's not your fault for not knowing." Chloe was very kind. She brought out a strawberry cake from the fridge and said, "I made this earlier, but I was afraid I couldn't finish it all, so it's perfect that you're here to help me out.”
Chloe's strawberry cake looked irresistible. Lucy took a small bite, and as expected, she was not disappointed. The combination of strawberries and cream melted in her mouth, yet it was not cloying at all.
"Chloe, have you thought about quitting your job to become a pastry chef?"
"Yeah... I've actually already made up my mind..." Chloe ran her fingers through her tousled hair and continued, "I was hesitating before, but I made my decision after Hudson rejected me.."
"Is your job related to Hudson too?"
Was Chloe really that hung up on Hudson? Lucy did not realize Hudson held such a significant part of Chloe's heart, almost to the point of being ingrained in her bones.
"Yes. The company I work at is very close to Hudson's company. After he returned, I chose that company on purpose so I could commute with him every day, but when he said he didn't want me to follow him, I lost all hope."Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
In a way... It was a relief, even though her unrequited love story drew to an unhappy conclusion.
Lucy sensed the bitterness in their
relationship, which only made her all the more thankful that Matthew took good eare of her. Under his wing, she could live without worrying
about getting hurt.
However, it was different for Chloe. Unrequited love was always harder on the person who had devoted their feelings. Recalling her own experiences, Lucy empathized with her deeply.
Chloe must be going through an even tougher time than she could imagine.
Lucy did not want Chloe to dwell on it anymore, so she changed the subject. "Chloe, where did you learn to make these pastries?"
Chloe replied, "Morgan Ramsey."
"Morgan Ramsey?! The famous Eurovian pastry chef?"
"Yeah... I didn't know how famous he was when I was learning from him. I only got to learn about his fame in Eurovia from magazines."
The scenario in which Chloe and Morgan met was like a hero saving a damsel in distress.
"I was passing through a narrow
alley on my way home when Morgan was attacked by a thief. The thief had a knife, but I thought that saving him was of the utmost priority, so I didn't think much about it."
Lucy was amazed by Chloe's story about Morgan. "Morgan used to be the official pastry chef for Charleston's royal family. I didn't think you'd have such a connection with him."
