No more expectations.
Not even a little bit.
There's no more self-deception.
He admitted it himself.
He actually admitted it himself!
Chloe Grant crouched powerlessly on the ground, covering her face, and cried out loud.
Before, she had always held back her tears, cried silently, suppressing them.
But this time, she couldn't hold back.
Chloe Grant knew that Matthew Morgan hadn't left; he was just outside the door.
In fact…
She was still weak.
Chloe still had expectations.
Hoping he would open the door, come in and hold her, tell her it was all just a joke.
Then, everything would just be a false alarm.
A false alarm…
Chloe Grant never thought that the most beautiful words in the world weren't "hoping for the future" or "happily ever after," but "false alarm."
Everything was just a fright.
After the fright, those bad things, those unbearable ones, were just a joke.
A mere prank.
Unfortunately…
Chloe Grant was wishful thinking.
