Chapter 176
Chloe
Arthur quickly shed toward Carrie and An, full of longing and excitement.
Without much thought he spread his arms wide open and enveloped Carrie and An in his arms. He kissed Carrie affectionately
as he caressed An’s small lovely face.
The scene was so heartwarming and beautiful. Seeing Arthur who had always been keeping a distance from Carrie back then
show how he loves her made my heart feel relieved at the moment, especially when | saw Carrie''s face filled with bliss.
From the bottom of my heart, | am d that the two of them have been well, despite all the things that happened back then.
| remained at the spot | was standing in, watching their tender reunion with a smile on my face.
Until Carrie’s vision passed behind Arthur, our eyes met.
“Chloe!” She eximed her eyes widened with excitement and relief. Almost automatically, Arthur carried the still sleepy Arian in
his arms as Carrie sped toward me.
| smiled and replied, “I came to drop by at Arthur’s suggestion.”
But Carrie seemed to have not heard my words as she pounced on me heavily and hugged me while she bawled like a baby,
“Wahhh, Chloeeee! | miss you so much! Did you know that | was so worried about you! You’ve been away for so long!
Waaaaah!”
Lost in surprise, | let out an awkward chuckle as | hugged her back. It seems like she was still the youngdy that clings to me so
heartily whether she was happy or sad.
In my heart, | felt so relieved as | felt her warmth and words of worry. Even after many things happened between ke and I, our
friendship was not broken.
Just thinking about it, my eyes felt hot as tears uncontrobly fell, “I’m sorry for making you worry, Carrie...”
In the end, the two of us cried without a care.
“Papa... why is mama cwying?” At a distance, a cute tiny voice rang which halted the two of us in our teary reunion. “Are they
huwt (hurt)2”
“Oh, it’s not like that. Your mama saw her dear friend and missed her so much that she immediately cried in happiness.” Arthur
cleared his throat and exined it to An awkwardly.
“O-oh... you can cwy when you are happy?” An’s eyes blinked as his two shiny innocent orbs looked at Carrie and | with an
innocent question.
“Sometimes, when you are very very very happy, you couldn''t help but smile.” Carrie let out a soft chuckle and took my hand,
then as we walked towards the door where Arthur and An stood watching, she exined.
“| see...” An tilted his little head then paused, the next moment, he seemed to understand as he answered with nods.
“Come, Chloe... meet An.He is two years old now.” With a bright smile on her face, Carrie introduced An to me as she
carried him. “An, this is your auntie Chloe, please greet her.”
“Auntie?” Hearing the word auntie, An blinked his innocent eyes in surprise then looked at me curiously.
“Hello An, nice to meet you.” The moment | saw him up close, my heart skipped a beat as | saw a striking resemnce of
ke into An’s features.
Just like ke and Carrie, An had dark wavy hair and his round eyes looked like he could see the depths of your soul despite
its innocent brightness.
“Hewoo... Auntie Chwoee...” Seemingly curious yet shy, An still followed what his mother ordered. There was a hint of
politeness in his tone but all about him seemed to be bright as he shed his tiny milk teeth.
My heart was immediately taken away by his cuteness but | stopped myself from hugging him. Carrie smiled as she looked at his
son once more before beckoning me to go inside. On the other hand, Arthur seemed to have given me some space as he took
An and left us in the living room.
The interior of the house exudes that the family living inside is warm and happy. Nothing about it is luxurious, however, it was
filled with a tone of joy and belongingness.
“How do you like it Chloe?” Carrie looked at me expectantly when she saw that my eyes wandered around. | suddenly
remembered how she would always say how she would build her home the moment Arthur epted her love.
Who would have thought that she would really make their home exactly as she always dreamed of?
“Very beautiful, it is exactly as you have always talked about.” | smiled widely.
The next moment, Carrie asked about the things that happened during the five years | wasn’t around. | told her how | have been
through the years and she was especially happy when she heard about Aurora.
“Ah... In the future, whenever it is convenient, I’d like to meet Aurora!” Carrie uttered excitedly as she looked so relieved about
the things that happened.
It was a mysterious yet happy feeling when you see someone who was genuinely happy for you. Carrie may be someone who
was the most affected of the things that happened to ke and | back then, and yet it isforting to see that she never
changed.
It was something that made me feel at ease and guilty at the moment. | felt guilty that | had to ignore and leave our friendship
because of the hurt.
But seeing this situation and how ke and | were slowly rebuilding our rtionship... Maybe things are for the better.
After a while, Arthur came back from the kitchen and beckoned us to have breakfast.
Joining the family of three, we shared a meal together, something that | haven’t done in a long while since the preparation for the
cooperation.
The meal was simple and everything felt very familiar to me. | was taken back to the times when ke, Carrie, Arthur and | were
sitting together on a table and sharing a meal without a care...
Back to the time when everything was all fine and no one was hurt.
Even so, as | found myself feeling mncholic, my mind reminded me of my recent rendezvous with ke which made me quite
giddy.
We may be far from Carrie and Arthur''s rtionship now... but we are slowly healing.
With that the negative thoughts at the back of my mind were resolved and | was able to face the mealtime heartily.
Or so | thought.

“Arthur, what''s the matter?” Carrie looked at him worriedly.
Arthur looked at me with anxiousness and then with Carrie. His eyes meant something which we immediately caught on.
Carrie took An who thankfully was now done eating while Arthur led me to his study.
“Is there news on ke’s side?” | asked as soon as | stepped in and closed the door.”

“Except that he now knows who Alpha Kain’s wife is...” he muttered slowly.
“Alpha Kain’s wife? Who is she?” Curious, | raised my brows and asked.
“|-its...” Arthur clenched his fist and a trace of disgust and anger showed on his face as he muttered, “It’s Lyra!”
