My Substitute CEO Bride romance Capítulo 2321

Zoe nodded. "It's not impossible. Oh, I suddenly remembered that you should be wary of your brother, Clayton."

"My brother? What's wrong with him?" Chuck asked innocently.

Zoe explained, "He offered to help me control you, so it's clear he definitely has some kind of grudge against your family."

Chuck waved it off with a smile. "My brother isn't that kind of person. I trust him."

Zoe felt a bit helpless at this. Chuck had indeed matured a lot, but he still held the most genuine trust in his family

Whether it was his father, mother, brother, or any other family member, they had always protected him. Now that he was capable, he was determined to protect his family in return. However, Zoe was not lying. Chuck likely took it as just Clayton's attempt to please Zoe.

"Clayton probably wants to impress you. He told me he has someone he likes, and it's probably you."

Speaking of this, Zoe blushed all of a sudden. Saying such things so sincerely made things somewhat awkward.

Zoe disliked Clayton intensely. She took pride in her family, and Clayton was someone who had once betrayed his family. Although she was not much better, she still looked down on Clayton.

"Zoe, do you like my brother?" Chuck asked.

Zoe shook her head, and Chuck let the matter drop.

"I see."

However, as Chuck turned away, Zoe finally dared to look at him. Deep down, she knew she had already fallen in love with Chuck. When he said he would protect her, that was the moment she realized her feelings.

Even so, now was not the right time to talk about matters of the heart. She could only hope that, no matter who among them became a god or who met their end, she would find a way to express her feelings to him in the end.

"What's up?"

"Nothing, I just wanted to chat."

"Alright."

Pine continued, "To be honest, I'm really glad you ended up adopting Smiley. You've got to take good care of her."

Francel looked over at him, puzzled. "What's going on with you today?"

Pine simply shook his head and walked away.
