CHAPTER 196: CHAPTER 196: UNCLE MORGAN... IT’S YOU! 6

The moment Matthew Morgan wrapped his arms around Chloe Grant, he felt the person in his embrace was soft yet burning hot. The breath she exhaled, even through the fabric, allowed Matthew Morgan to acutely sense the heat.

His once calm inner lake surged into tumultuous waves.

In that instant, Matthew Morgan’s eyes deepened.

However, when he turned to face Sophia Fraser, his expression remained indifferent, revealing nothing.

"She’s drunk. I’ll take her upstairs to rest."

Matthew Morgan said coldly, then directly picked Chloe Grant up and walked inside the house.

Sophia Fraser took a step forward, wanting to speak, but found that Matthew Morgan had already walked far away.

She watched Matthew Morgan’s back, her gaze captivated.

This wasn’t Sophia Fraser’s first time seeing Matthew Morgan.

The first time she met Matthew Morgan was a few years ago when she accompanied her father to the Morgan Group to discuss business.

At that time, Matthew Morgan was young and successful, donned in a suit, handsome, and exuded a strong presence.

The moment he walked past her, Sophia Fraser was fascinated!

Afterward, she seldom saw Matthew Morgan but would scour various news platforms. Whenever she spotted the words "Matthew Morgan" or "Mr. Morgan from the Morgan Group," she’d delve into the news articles deeply, memorizing every word and symbol.

After all, Matthew Morgan rarely appeared in the news!

To this day, only one media outlet had ever released his picture, but that photo, as well as the outlet, vanished soon afterward, untraceable.

...

As Matthew Morgan carried Chloe Grant upstairs, passing by a side hall on the first floor, he could still hear the noise of arguments inside.

However, the content was utterly unclear to him.

Because...

The little lady in his arms was utterly restless, throwing his mind into disarray.

"Stay still!" Matthew Morgan, with a stern face, glanced down at the little lady.

Upon his intense gaze, Chloe Grant indeed quieted down.

But it wasn’t long before she started acting up again...

With a stony expression, Matthew Morgan carried her up to the third floor, entered the room, and kicked the door shut, locking it.

He directly brought her to the bathroom and turned on the cold water to help her sober up!

As the icy water hit her body, Chloe Grant let out a startled scream and began to struggle wildly.

The fiery heat on her body was extinguished, causing her entire body to shiver unnaturally.

But as the cold water washed over her, the unusual flush on her face visibly faded away. Submerged in the water, it seemed to bring her a bit of comfort and brought a hint of sanity back to her mind.

Matthew Morgan tossed the showerhead aside and scooped up the sinking Chloe Grant.

The orange dress was now clinging completely to her body...

Matthew Morgan’s eyes deepened even more!

He immediately reached out, grabbed a towel from the side, and wrapped Chloe Grant tightly, covering every inch of skin!

"Uncle Morgan..."

Chloe Grant seemed to start regaining her senses, her body shivering from the cold.

"Can you take a cold shower yourself?" Matthew Morgan asked.

Chloe Grant, now somewhat dazed, felt extremely uncomfortable from the odd sensations in her body.

She didn’t comprehend what Matthew Morgan was saying...

She wasn’t sure where she was either...

All she knew was her body felt very cold, yet there was also a brewing heat, making her incredibly uncomfortable.

"I’ll be at the door, call if you need anything."

Though Matthew Morgan wasn’t entirely at ease, he chose to step out at this moment.

It’s just...
