The figure, holding their phone, discreetly snapped a blurry photo of Grant and Chloe sharing a passionate kiss. The camera''s lens struggled to focus through the ss, and the angle was less than ideal with Grant''s back to the window. The resulting image was hazy, with Grant''s face obscured, but Chloe''s half-face appeared clearly, her expression unmistakably intimate.
Within minutes, both Nichs and Louis received the same photo on their phones. Nichs, wearing his reading sses, squinted at the screen. His brow furrowed in confusion as he examined the image. The photo''s poor quality left much to the imagination, but Chloe''s partial face was undeniably recognizable.
He turned to the family butler, Felix Thornton, who was standing nearby. "Felix,e take a look at this," Nichs said, his voice a mix of curiosity and concern. Felix stepped closer, peering at the phone over Nichs''s shoulder. "Is that Chloe? Who''s she kissing? Michael or Liam?"
Nichs immediately ruled out Grant, considering Grant was at least seven or eight years older than Chloe. From what he knew about Chloe, she seemed to prefer younger guys.
Otherwise, why would her room be stered with posters of young, muscr men? Felix nced at the photo and said, "Mr. Davis, I can''t tell for sure, but I think it might be Michael."
"Why do you think it''s Michael?" Nichs asked, looking up at Felix.
Felix exined, "Mr. Davis, have you been following the newstely? Ms. Davis has been rumored to be involved with Michael."
Felix''s reasoning made sense, but Nichs still had his doubts. "Why not Liam? I think he''s pretty good too, with his motorcycle skills and all..." Nichs admired Liam.
He believed young people should be bold and adventurous. If he were younger, he might have joined Liam on his motorcycle rides.
Felix shook his head after another look at the photo. "It can''t be Liam. No matter how good he is on a motorcycle, can he be better than Ms. Davis? Mr. Davis, do you think she would be interested in someone who isn''t as skilled as she is?"
Felix''s analysis was spot on, and Nichs couldn''t help but nod in agreement. Felix had always been insightful, and his observations often hit the mark.
Indeed, he knew his granddaughter well. She was alwayspetitive and wouldn''t be interested in someone she could easily outshine.
Just as Nichs and Felix finished their conversation, Louis called.
On the phone, Louis excitedly reported, "Nichs, they kissed!"
Nichs replied, "Yeah, I saw it too. This means your grandkids are doing well."
It was rare for Nichs to praise his grandsons, and Louis was delighted. "That''s right. My three kids are pretty good. But the photo is blurry, and I can''t tell which one Chloe kissed. If I knew who it was, I could focus on grooming him."
Louis valued the potential union between the Davis and Martin families, knowing the benefits it would bring to the Martin family.
Nichs snorted, "You need to groom all three of them. Louis, let me tell you, Chloe is going to marry into your Martin family. You better make sure your grandsons treat her well. If anyone dares to mistreat her, just wait and see."
Despite sending Chloe to Sovereign City, Nichs was still very protective of her.
Louis quickly reassured him, "Don''t worry, I''ll make sure my grandsons behave." His voice was confident, and Nichs could sense the underlying determination to keep his promise.

In the following days, Chloe stayed in the hospital, with Grant constantly by her side.
However, Grant wasn''t exactly on his best behavior. Whenever they were alone, he would seize the opportunity to kiss Chloe passionately. His advances were relentless, and Chloe found herself unable to escape his affectionate assaults. She had to endure his touch, his lips pressing against hers with a fervor that left her breathless and flustered.
At first, Chloe resisted, trying to push him away or turn her face. But Grant was persistent, his charm and determination gradually wearing down her defenses. Eventually, Chloe got used to it.
She began to ept his kisses, even finding a strange sense offort in his unwavering attention. The hospital room, once a ce of sterile solitude, became a space filled with the intensity of their evolving rtionship.
A few days passed quickly, and Chloe''s health improved. For some reason, Michael and Liam never got a chance to visit her.
After being discharged, she returned to the Martin Mansion, where Mia came to take care of her and chat about family matters.
Mia said to Chloe, "Miss Davis, Mr. Grant Martin has been so good to you. He took care of you tirelessly while you were in the hospital. I think he''s lost weight."
Chloe couldn''t help but smirk. ''Lost weight? I didn''t notice any weight loss when he was kissing me.''
"Mia, if you think he''s lost weight, make him some nourishing soup. Let him drink a few bowls." Chloe''s casual remark was taken seriously by Mia.
"Alright, I''ll make some for Mr. Grant Martin today." Mia nodded.
"And... where are Michael and Liam? I haven''t seen them in days. Where did they go?" Chloe asked curiously, having not seen Michael or Liam during her hospital stay due to Grant''s constant presence.

Mia replied, "Miss Davis, you don''t know? Mr. Michael Martin went to the mountains to film a movie the day after you were hospitalized."
"What? Filming? I didn''t hear about any new projects." Chloe was puzzled.
On the day she was hospitalized, Michael had promised to take care of her. How did he end up filming in the mountains?
"It was an old contract for a sequel or something. If Mr. Michael Martin didn''t go, he would have to pay a hefty penalty." Mia exaggerated a bit about Michael''s situation.
"Oh... what about Liam? I''ve been back for a while and haven''t seen him either." Chloe asked again.
Mia replied, "Mr. Liam Martin recently joined a motorcyclepetition with a high prize. He didn''t want to go initially, but Mr. Grant Martin signed him up, saying bing a motorcycle champion was his dream. So, Mr. Liam Martin went to prepare for thepetition."
Mia''s words left Chloe feeling a bit confused.
It seemed like Michael and Liam were deliberately sent away by Grant.
Wasn''t Grant being a bit too exclusive?
Talking about Liam, Mia got excited. "Miss Davis, Mr. Liam Martin''spetition is today..."
