Chapter 131

The next morning, Chloe saw Anderson squatting by the doorway as soon as she stepped out.

He was like an abandoned stray puppy, huddled by the door panel, and when he saw Chloe coming out, his tail perked up happily as he stood up and gazed at her longingly.

Chloe was startled by her own mental image, then frowned, ignoring Anderson as she strode away.

Anderson hurried to catch up with her, hastily saying from behind:

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, little miss!"

Chloe's steps faltered for a moment, but only for a moment.

Soon she came to her senses and continued walking forward.

An apology, what use is an apology now? The flowers have already withered.

Besides, what difference does an apology make? Can Anderson resolve the issue by apologizing?

As long as Anderson is still working for Xavier, Chloe's resentment cannot be dispelled.

She quickened her pace, leaving the lounge area.

It was eight o'clock in the morning, and Chloe was rushing to have breakfast, with no time to listen to Anderson's apology.

When she arrived at the cafeteria, it was already crowded with people.

Chloe grabbed a bamboo tube rice meal and found an empty seat.

At the same time, Anderson was also carrying a bamboo tube rice meal and sat across from her.

He blinked his eyes at her, his gaze moist and tender.

Chloe: "......"

This kid still has the audacity to cry?

She was so infuriated that she lowered her head and refused to look at him anymore.

After all, looking at him only made her feel worse.

At that moment, the sound of footsteps came from not far away.

Chloe found it familiar, and when she looked up, she saw that it was Qin Huaibei and the others.

She immediately waved them over to join her.

The cafeteria was packed, and her table was the only one with vacant seats.

However, as soon as Qin Huaibei made eye contact with her and was about to come over, he noticed Anderson sitting across from her.

Qin Huaibei abruptly stopped in his tracks, grabbing Daniel who was about to rush over, and said with a smile:

"You two catch up, we'll find somewhere else to sit."

With that, he hurriedly led the others in the opposite direction.

Chloe: "......"

She stabbed her spoon deep into the rice, glaring at Anderson:

"I never expected you could buy them off as well."

Anderson's expression remained unchanged as he said:

"Little miss, I came to apologize."

"You think I don't know?" Chloe said impatiently, "I don't accept it."

She enunciated each word clearly, almost wanting to smash the rice bowl onto Anderson's head to show him her wrath.

The other side fell silent for more than ten seconds.

Just as Chloe pursed her lips, unsure if she felt satisfied or disappointed, and was about to eat her meal, Anderson spoke again from across the table.

Anderson:

"I'm sorry, little miss."

Chloe nearly flipped the table.

But then, Anderson continued:

"As you've always said, I'm your man, and I have no connection with the Progenitor. I have always been loyal to you and only you."

"I apologize for not thinking it through before and misspoke. Please, little miss, punish me."

Chloe: "......"

She quietly withdrew the hand that was about to flip the table.

Chloe put down her spoon, no longer interested in eating, crossed her legs, folded her arms, and commanded with authority:

"Go on."

She wanted to see what other flowers Anderson could blossom with.

Anderson obliged, gazing at her with a gentle expression:

"Little miss, from now on, I will only serve you, and no one else can command me, not even the Progenitor."

"I have been your man from the beginning, in the past, present, and future."

"I will not make the same mistake again. Will you give me another chance, little miss?"

With that, Anderson had finished his apology.

Every word he said struck a chord in Chloe's heart, as if he had just wandered through her inner thoughts before uttering them.

Chloe scrutinized him.

The young man around her age sat upright with a resolute gaze, but when he looked at her, there was a gentle warmth and unwavering loyalty in his eyes.

At least, that was the impression he gave.

Chloe studied him for a long time before finally saying slowly:

"You are quite clever."

Upon hearing this, Anderson looked slightly taken aback, then flustered:

"Little miss, these are my true feelings from the bottom of my heart, with no intention of deception whatsoever."

"Please believe me."

Chloe clicked her tongue.

She asked, "Will you truly change?"

Anderson: "Yes."

"And if you make the same mistake again?"

Hearing this question, Anderson swallowed hard:

"Then I will no longer be worthy of serving by your side, and you can... permanently banish me."

As those words left his mouth, Chloe finally became a little more serious.

Permanently banish Anderson?

The mere thought of that possibility made her restless.

People who had grown up together since childhood were often inseparable.

Not to mention that Chloe had enjoyed Anderson's care for so many years.

After pondering for a while, Chloe finally made up her mind:

"Then I'll give you one more chance."

Upon hearing this, Anderson's eyes immediately lit up.

Seeing his pitiful excitement, Chloe couldn't help but feel displeased: "But don't get too excited, I haven't punished you yet."

Anderson shifted eagerly in his chair, then obediently said, "Little miss can do as she pleases with me, I will not resist."

Chloe looked at him silently, then let out a gentle laugh:

"Let's eat first."

The atmosphere between them finally returned to normal, just like before.

Not far away, Qin Huaibei, who had been quietly observing their situation, finally heaved a sigh of relief and exchanged high-fives with Katherine and Daniel.

At least they had made up.

If they had remained at odds, it wouldn't have been good for their First Military Academy's main team.

Daniel stood up: "Now we can finally go and eat with Chloe, right?"

Qin Huaibei nodded, about to carry his tray over, but he paused when he looked up.

He saw a few uninvited guests standing beside Chloe and Anderson's table.

They were from the Lanxicha Military Academy.

When Feng Xi approached, Chloe was picking through the bamboo tube rice, removing the vegetables she didn't like to eat.

Those little pieces of blue vegetables were one by one picked out and dropped into Anderson's bowl.

She didn't even look up, lazily asking:

"What is it?"

Feng Xi's gaze fell on Chloe, then shifted down to the rainflower stone pendant hanging around her neck, and he curved his lips into a smile:

"I heard that Miss Chloe had a falling out with her attendant, so I came to see for myself."

He turned his beautiful, sinister face towards Anderson and flashed a taunting smile:

"Miss Chloe, you must take my side. On the arena, I only got a little too close to you, and your attendant took it personally, using the pretext of sparring to smash my head until it bled."

"Shouldn't you properly discipline him for me, Miss Chloe?"
