Chapter 1511 - 1501: Lunar New Year’s Day, Sending New Year Greetings

Chloe Winston’s side was lively too.

The Wood Family brothers went back home; celebrating the New Year in the countryside was much livelier than in the city. You could set off fireworks and visit neighbors freely, unlike many places where the fireworks locations are regulated.

Everyone was sending New Year greetings in the group chat.

The group chats of several film crews Chloe was part of were also filled with 999+ messages, very lively, especially with the flying red packets.

Chloe sent red packets in the groups where she’s close with the members.

Desmond Wood was always the first to open them and snatched the most.

"Desmond, you’ve really got the speed of someone who’s been single for thirty years, I’m impressed." Wendy Starling teased Desmond in the group.

"Sis, I’m just thirty, and with my baby face, I clearly look very youthful." Desmond replied, feeling wronged, "Please introduce someone to us brothers; I’m not worried, but my big brother really is."

Finnian: "..."

This little rascal.

"Chloe, are you spending New Year’s alone today? Where are you celebrating?" Wendy ignored Desmond’s chattering and asked Chloe.

Chloe paused for a moment and then noticed Constantine Stewart stepping into the tea room, having taken off his slippers and wearing socks. The man’s handsome face carried a smile, and he brought over plates of various snacks.

"I came back to the Imperial City for New Year. Tonight, I’m having New Year’s dinner at the Shaw Family’s place." Chloe contemplated for a moment and decided to speak the truth. After all, returning to the Imperial City meant facing her past marriage and Constantine Stewart.

The group fell silent instantly, except for Wendy’s bold congratulations: "Wow, you had New Year’s dinner at the Shaw Family’s, Chloe Winston, you sure are impressive."

The men remained silent. Even though Chloe had a good relationship with Vice Admiral Shaw’s wife, it wasn’t to the extent of having New Year’s dinner at the Shaw Family. Constantine Stewart was definitely part of the reason, and everyone knew Shaw Family’s grandma doted on this junior.

So, everyone simultaneously thought that Chloe was planning to get back together with Constantine Stewart?

"Are you staying up late with Mr. Stewart tonight?" Finnian directly asked in the group.

As for Charles Taylor, he stayed silent from the beginning to the end.

"Yeah. He’s getting old, it’s pretty lonely to spend it alone."

"Chloe Winston, you’re done for, you actually feel sorry for Constantine Stewart; he’s probably lonely because he has too much money." Wendy shook her head in the group chat, sensing a foreboding feeling that love was in the air.

Others, including the usually chatty Desmond, remained silent, except for patting their older brother on the shoulder; getting dumped during New Year is quite distressing.

So Desmond spread a red packet rain in the group like crazy, and the other men also sent red packets, with substantial amounts.

Wendy opened the red packets one by one, realizing only she and Desmond were grabbing them, and suddenly understood that among the three men in the group, two of them were heartbroken tonight.

After finishing speaking, Chloe inexplicably felt relieved inside, and then she received a call from Countess Thompson.

She paused, glanced at Constantine Stewart, and stood up to answer the call.

Since Countess Thompson left, Chloe also left the Imperial City, but their contact hadn’t broken off. From time to time, the lady would call Chloe for a chat, talking about matters of the Stewart Family, and now Chloe was quite familiar with the Stewart Family far away in France.

"Mr. Stewart is having dinner at the Shaw Family tonight; it’s very lively with many people." Chloe said softly, "Yes, I returned to Imperial City too, staying up late together tonight."

Countess Thompson was relieved at hearing her son wouldn’t be alone tonight, and after chatting a bit more with Chloe, she hung up.

"Your mom called, asking how you are spending New Year’s this year." Chloe put away the phone, looking at Constantine Stewart.

The man sat cross-legged on a soft cushion, noticed the girl’s moist eyes, somewhat cautious, his gaze deepened slightly, and he nodded, "Are you considering my feelings, Chloe?"

"Actually, the lady just wants to know about your situation; she couldn’t reach you on ordinary days so she asks me." Chloe hesitated for a moment and said, "Can’t you really accept your mother?"

"If you wish for me to accept her, I’ll try to give it a go." Constantine Stewart looked at her with a deep gaze. If Chloe felt guilty towards him, might she feel embarrassed to mention leaving him?

He knew she was always soft-hearted.

"If possible, I hope you can have a peaceful relationship with the lady. Love can’t be forced, but at least don’t act like enemies. It might seem irrelevant now, but if lost someday, perhaps you’ll regret it." Chloe spoke softly, "Even though she made many mistakes, you should learn to move on from that past."
