Chapter 8

I awkwardly stood up and walked over to her.

“Uh, please let me stay. I won’t let you lose out.”

“Oh?”

Chloe crossed her arms, giving me a flirty look.

It made me pull my shirt collar up higher.

“I mean, I can do your laundry, cook, serve you drinks, stuff like that.”

“Look how messy your place is; it could use someone to tidy up…”

Chloe’s place was indeed a mess. Her clothes and belongings were scattered everywhere, and the dishes in the sink looked like they hadn’t been washed in ages.

When I was at home, because I wasn’t favored, I learned to cook and do housework from a young age.

Just so my mom wouldn’t find me annoying.

“Once my mom is done with this whole thing, she’ll definitely look for me, and I’ll make her pay you back!”

I tried my best to give her a sincere look, but Chloe just put her hands on her hips and rolled her eyes.

“What makes you think she’ll still care about you?”

“Uh, she used to be very fond of me when I was little…”

“Get out!”

Even though Chloe told me to leave, this time she didn’t threaten me with a knife, and she turned and walked back into the house.

Her tone had softened a bit, too.

In that case, I’ll take it as her agreeing to let me stay!
