CHAPTER 428: CHAPTER 428: HE’S NOT THAT INTO ME 8

This punch came too suddenly, catching Ralph Koch off guard. He staggered backwards repeatedly, nearly falling to the ground, and only managed to hold himself up with his hands.

Clearly a bit angry, Ralph Koch supported himself up with his hands and said angrily, "Is this necessary? I only took him out, did nothing else!"

Matthew Morgan strode over and grabbed Ralph Koch by the collar, "I’m warning you, don’t plan any ideas around this child!"

"This child isn’t your biological son, is he?" Ralph Koch seemed to have grasped something, "Even if he were, you wouldn’t be this out of control! You’re worried about his safety because I took him out alone. So... there’s something hidden about this child? Is there a story behind him?"

Matthew Morgan shook off his hand indifferently, "No, he’s my child!"

"That’s bullshit!"

Ralph Koch rashly burst out with foul language, "I’m telling you, I’ll only believe this child is biologically yours if you tell me Chloe Grant gave birth to him!

But Matthew Morgan, do others not know you as I do?

You loved a woman with your life, would you really betray her? Do you really take everyone for fools, or have you underestimated your own devotion to love?"

Ralph Koch was truly angry, so he shouted these words out loud.

As he spoke, Chloe Grant had already walked out of the convenience store.

She instinctively looked towards Matthew Morgan...

Matthew Morgan was just about to turn around, meeting Chloe Grant’s gaze...

In that moment of locked eyes, Chloe Grant felt a sense of longing.

She thought, if he said "This child isn’t mine," or even if he admitted the child was his, as long as he said, "I love Chloe, but..."

As long as he spoke words like those, Chloe Grant would run over without hesitation...

"Who told you I can’t do without her?" he sneered, shifting his gaze without even looking back, and with a tone devoid of emotion, he left a sentence behind, "You’ve all overestimated my devotion to love."

After he finished speaking, he opened the car door without looking back and drove away...

Chloe Grant stood there, watching the car drive out of her sight.

In that moment, Chloe Grant felt as if something had heavily struck her chest, forcing her heart away from her very being.

She felt immense pain, wanting to cry, wanting to scream, but unable to release it, forced to endure the tearing agony.

Finally, Chloe Grant clutched her chest and crouched down.

Pain!

"Who told you I can’t do without her?"

His disdainful and mocking words kept replaying in Chloe Grant’s mind.

He said, "You’ve all overestimated my devotion to love."

Meaning he no longer loved her...

"Chloe..."

Ralph Koch walked over and supported Chloe Grant, wanting to help her up, but she shook her head.

"Ralph Koch... it hurts so much, it hurts so much."

She clutched at her chest, "I never thought that one day, because of him, I would hurt this much..."

Feeling every breath of air was sharp.

"I never thought... it would hurt this much..."

She murmured.

When she first found out about Lucas and Lily being together, she was angry, felt ashamed, heartbroken...

But she never felt this kind of pain.

As if her most cherished thing was being forcibly torn apart, ripped... with blood and flesh torn, excruciating pain.

"It hurts so much, Ralph Koch... it hurts so much... what do I do?"
