Chapter 539
Hudson was embarrassed by Koven's words. He wished the earth could swallow him up.
"Why do you still remember things like that?"
"Huh?"
Koven wanted to laugh when he saw Hudson blush. It had been a long time since he last saw Hudson looking that way. He would always become shy when Koven mentioned this. "Have you contacted Chloe after what happened?"
Hudson was taken aback and shook his head.
Koven wanted to laugh out loud. Hudson was such a proud man. He would one day end up being putty in Chloe's hands. "Actually... she did come to see me after that, but I rejected her again. Since then, she... hasn't approached me at all." "Did you chase her off?!"
Koven knew that Hudson had always been a straightforward person, but he never expected Hudson to treat Chloe that way.
"I didn't. I would never chase her away."
Hudson was starting to feel unsettled. When Koven suddenly started talking about Chloe, he wanted to find out from Koven why Chloe would stop contacting him. "Buddy..."
Koven was exasperated to hear Hudson bring up that question.
Was it not clear enough why Chloe was ignoring him?
Koven wanted to break open Hudson's head and find out what exactly was in it. "Do you think she would still want to hang out with you after you rejected her?"
It was tiring to continue talking to Hudson about this topic. Koven wanted to stop discussing this, but Hudson would not relent.
"I didn't reject her. I just don't know

how I feel about her... What's the right way for me to act around her? I thought about it for a long time before I worked up the courage to talk to her, but she refused to pick up my calls after that. She hasn't even come to see me, and she turned down my attempts to see her at her house."
Koven thought that Hudson deserved it.
"Tsk, tsk. Chloe did the right thing."
"That's a pretty horrible thing to say, Koven. Didn't I try to see her after that?"
"Are you feeling resentful over this?"
Poor Chloe. Why did she fall for the dim-witted Hudson of all people? What a pity it was for Chloe to be in this situation.
"I'm not resentful..." Hudson began clenching the corner of his suit. "I'm just wondering why she's ignoring me."
The conversation turned back to this topic again.
"Alright, that's enough. I know what you're trying to say. All you want is for Chloe to talk to you again." "Yeah..." Hudson's face flushed red.
Here he was claiming that he felt nothing for Chloe. He even went as far as keeping a distance from Chloe after she confessed her love to him. Well, he deserved Chloe ignoring him. It was only now that he knew to feel anxious about the situation.
However, it was a little too late.
"Let me ask you something. Do you have feelings for Chloe?"
Hudson got flustered with Koven's questioning. Hudson kept shaking his head in the beginning, but it did not feel like the truth, and he did not deny his feelings either.
Koven waited for a long time, but Hudson did not give him an answer. "If you really want Chloe to be with you, you need to work harder."
"But she doesn't even want to see me right now..."
She did not reply to any emails or messages he sent to her.
"If you really like Chloe, just express your true feelings to her. But I have to warn you. Chloe still might not reciprocate, and it might take a long time before this changes."
