"I remember Lucas telling me that you've had a crush on a girl for many years, a girl whose back looks a lot like mine, so...you made me your substitute, didn't you? Just like that kiss, it's a substitute! Matthew, you're too much!"
Her words were almost a certainty by the end, turning into accusation.
Watching her almost frantic state, Matthew did not respond, but there seemed to be a sense of shock in his eyes, and then something flashed past… before finally calming down.
These details were naturally unnoticed by Chloe Grant at this moment.
Chloe Grant collapsed powerlessly onto the bed.
Murmuring, "It must be like this..."
She seemed to be constructing the beginning, process, and conclusion of a story.
Cause: She resembled the girl Matthew had a crush on.
Process: She got involved with Matthew.
Conclusion: She was made a substitute.
"Knock, knock!"
The sudden knocking on the door interrupted Chloe Grant's self-construction, startling her.
