Ralph Koch crouched down, reaching out to gently wipe away Chloe Grant's tears.
"Don't be so sad..."
He wanted to comfort her, but realized... he didn't really know how to comfort someone.
At that moment, he couldn't even think of a word to say.
In the end, Ralph just crouched beside Chloe, watching her cry...
Passersby would occasionally look at Chloe for a moment longer, and Ralph would glare at them fiercely, scaring them away.
When he gets angry, he's always quite intimidating.
Chloe didn't know how long she had been crying, she just found that eventually, there were no more tears...
After that, she just stared blankly at the ground.
In her mind, the words Matthew Morgan had said earlier kept playing over and over in her ears.
"He actually doesn't really like me... does he?"
She murmured softly.
"Actually... he and I were just another missed opportunity, right?"
Ralph gently helped Chloe up.
She had been squatting for so long that her legs were completely numb.
