Chapter 816

The guard stared at Chloe Davis for a long time.

He seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

His gaze eventually settled on Alexander Vance and Evelyn Ross.

This child… should be their biological daughter, right?

Forget it.

Better to avoid unnecessary trouble.

After the meal, Chloe became attached to Alistair Montgomery.

She sat quietly beside him.

When Alistair spoke with guests, she listened intently with wide eyes.

She didn't fuss or make noise.

She was excessively well-behaved.

Alistair was curious.

"Aren't you bored?"

Chloe shook her head.

"Not bored at all."

She was actually very happy.

She used to be locked in a room all the time.

Now she could see so many people.

Hear so many voices.

It felt incredibly fresh to her.

Especially the language of Aldoria that Alistair spoke.

She could actually understand it.

Even though she couldn't speak it.

Her mother had taught her when she was little.

Alistair was even more surprised.

"You understand?"

Chloe nodded.

"Mom taught me."

Alistair raised an eyebrow.

"Why learn that?"

Chloe answered seriously.

"Mom said, if I learned it, I could talk to Dad."

She lifted her little face.

"Daddy, can you teach me to speak Aldorian?"

Alistair smiled.

"Of course."

He began teaching Chloe pronunciation.

Evelyn and Alexander watched from a distance.

Both wore expressions of disbelief.

"How are they getting along so well?"

Alexander frowned.

"I find it strange too."

Joanna Sterling walked over.

She smiled meaningfully.

"Evelyn, I didn't expect you to be so cunning."

Evelyn was taken aback.

"What?"

Joanna patted her shoulder.

"Don't pretend. You knew all along that Chloe could win Alistair's favor, didn't you?"

Evelyn was silent.

She wanted to explain.

Joanna cut her off.

"No wonder you insisted on bringing Chloe."

Evelyn remained silent.

She looked at Chloe in the distance.

The little girl was making Alistair laugh heartily.

In just half an hour.

Alistair had laughed over a dozen times.

This king, known for his indifference.

Now resembled a kind father.

Natalie Castillo came over, munching on瓜子.

"Have you noticed?"

She lowered her voice.

"Chloe is imitating Alistair."

Evelyn had noticed long ago.

Alistair's mannerisms.

Alistair's tone of voice.

Chloe was quietly learning them all.

The current Chloe.

Almost seemed like Alistair's biological daughter.

And she showed a special interest in political topics.

Listening to those boring conversations.

She actually seemed to enjoy them.

Evelyn and Alexander exchanged a look.

Mr. Valentine approached.

"This child has talent."

He mused.

"She could develop in diplomacy later."

"Sebastian Truman could help."

Evelyn agreed deeply.

Over there, Chloe had stood up.

She extended her small hand to Alistair.

Alistair was momentarily stunned.

Then he laughed loudly.

He solemnly shook Chloe's hand.

Chloe said in her奶声奶气 voice.

"Dear Daddy, welcome to America."

"Come visit my home when you have time."

"I'll be waiting."

Alistair nodded.

"Alright, my dear little princess."

Chloe skipped back.

Joanna and Natalie immediately surrounded her.

"Chloe, what did you talk about?"

"You can understand Aldorian?"

Chloe looked at Joanna.

"Daddy Alistair said you can go back to your country now."

Joanna's eyes widened.

"What?"

Chloe repeated seriously.

"Didn't you want to go back and work in economics?"

"Daddy agreed."

Joanna froze in place.

She had sent Alistair countless emails.

Requesting meetings.

Applying to return.

All had sunk without a trace.

Chloe solved it with one sentence?

She stared at Chloe.

Her expression was complicated.

"You couldn't possibly…"

"Really be Alistair's daughter, could you?"
