Rural Belle & Three Heirs

After Grant finished talking, he sat down on Chloe's bed and gently pulled her into his

arms.

Chloe was already slim, but after days in the hospital, where she couldn't eat or sleep well, and with Sophia constantly causing trouble, she had lost even more weight. Through her hospital gown, Grant could almost feel her bones. Her frailty broke his heart.

Nestled in Grant's embrace, Chloe murmured, "I missed you too, so much..."

The two of them held each other tightly, their bodies pressed close together. They breathed in the faint scent emanating from each other, a subtle surge of hormones rising between them.

"Where's Adelaide? I haven't seen her in days..." Grant asked, trying to distract himself from focusing on Chloe.

Chloe replied, "She's taking care of Kathy. Kathy's guardian isn't around, and she had heart surgery, so she's not doing well."

"The doctor said if her condition doesn't improve, she might need to go abroad for treatment." she added.

"Really? That serious?" Grant asked, looking down at Chloe.

Chloe nodded, "Yeah, Kathy's parents are really irresponsible. First, her mom couldn't be reached, and now, Sophia is also out of contact."

"Kathy is just a kid and not in good health, so she can't explain much. My aunt felt sorry for her and wanted to adopt her as a goddaughter. Honestly, the girl is quite nice, I like her too."

Grant nodded in agreement.

Adelaide, in her forties and never married or had children, would benefit from having a daughter around.noveldrama

However, Kathy did have parents, and with someone like Sophia as her aunt, it could get complicated if they got involved later.

But Chloe quickly added, "The police said if Kathy's parents can't be reached, she'll be sent to a foster home. Then my aunt can go through the adoption process and take her in."

"That sounds good. With someone to keep Adelaide company, she won't compete with me for you." Grant rubbed his chin on Chloe's head.

They hadn't had any physical contact for days, and this quiet, secure feeling was something only they could give each other.

In the afternoon, the doctor came to inform Chloe that she could be discharged.

Using Adelaide's situation with Kathy as an excuse, Grant insisted that Chloe stay at his villa.

Chloe couldn't refuse. He drove her back to his villa in his luxury car.

Grant's villa was exceptionally clean, likely prepared in advance for Chloe's arrival. He had stocked up on food and other necessities.

Worried that Chloe might not have clothes, he had also arranged for a lot of women's clothing to be delivered.

He told Chloe, "Chloe, check the wardrobe upstairs. I bought you some clothes. See if there's anything else you need."

"Okay." Chloe went upstairs, and when she opened the wardrobe, she was stunned.

The entire walk-in closet had about four or five wardrobes filled with various clothes- thin, thick, dark, light, everything.

There were nightgowns, dresses, long coats, and cardigans. Chloe tried on a few pieces, and they all fit perfectly.

As she hung the clothes back in the wardrobe, she noticed a few light-colored bras on another shelf.

These bras were brand new, with price tags that were outrageously high.

Chloe picked one up and held it against her chest. Surprisingly, it was the right size...

She couldn't believe that Grant had bought these for her.

As she was checking the bra, Grant came upstairs. Seeing Chloe with the bra, he gave her a mischievous look.

"Not bad..." He leaned against the doorframe of the walk-in closet, arms crossed. Hearing Grant's voice, Chloe turned around, her face flushed. She hurriedly put the bra away, but her embarrassed expression made Grant chuckle.

He loved Chloe and especially enjoyed seeing her blush. Every time she did, he felt an urge to kiss her.

But today didn't seem like the right time.

Chloe had just been discharged from the hospital. If he rushed into things, it would be too much.

Chloe didn't notice Grant's thoughts. Blushing, she asked, "How did you know my bra size?"

Grant gently tapped her nose and said affectionately, "How could I not know?"

"But how did you know?" Chloe pressed.

Grant grinned wickedly, "I measured with my hands... one handful."

Hearing Grant's cheeky response, Chloe wished she could disappear. She playfully punched his chest. "You're awful..."

Grant caught her fist and continued teasing, "What's there to be embarrassed about? We hace made love, haven't we? Of course, I know your size."

Chloe's face turned even redder.

Seeing her so adorably flustered, Grant couldn't hold back his desire any longer.

He lifted Chloe into his arms and placed her on the platform in the walk-in closet, kissing her without a word.

They hadn't been intimate for days, and although Grant kept reminding himself to be gentle, the moment his lips touched Chloe's, he couldn't help but want more.

They had tried to make love on the sofa and the bed, but never on the platform in the closet.

Grant's kisses grew more intense. He undressed Chloe, kissing her neck, shoulders, and chest...

Chloe couldn't resist his advances.

Soon, she was unable to control her body's reactions.

Just as they were about to go further, Grant stopped.

He looked at Chloe with desire and asked, "Can you handle it? Am I being too much?"

Chloe, seeing the longing in Grant's eyes, lowered her head and kissed him.
