Chapter 57
“Don’t worry about it. There’s more going on between me and Keira than just this, I can handle it myself.”
Damon turned around, gazing deeply at her. He was silent for a moment before his deep voice slowly rose.
“Alright, you can handle it. But I can’t promise I won’t interfere. Do whatever you want, and if there’s any trouble, I’ll help you out.”
Chloe smiled faintly, looking up at him, and whispered,
“Do whatever you want? Are you sure I’m as good–hearted as you think I am?”
Damon also smiled, walking closer to her, bending down and looking into her sparkling eyes.
He spoke, his voice deep and elegant,
“My woman doesn’t need to be so good–hearted.”
No need to be so good–hearted…
In the past, she used to prioritize Lance and put up with certain things. She was afraid her impulsiveness would cause unnecessary trouble for him. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
She was cautious, only to be betrayed in the end.
As a woman, she never felt cared for by Lance.
But this man, now…
If there was any trouble, he’ll handle it…
No need to be so good–hearted…
He always knew how to touch her heart!
At that moment, the door suddenly rang, interrupting Chloe’s thoughts.
She came to her senses, habitually smoothed her hair, and let go of Damon’s hand.
“I’ll get the door.”
Damon followed behind her, not planning to stay long.
As the door opened, a strong, pungent smell hit them.
Chloe frowned and looked at the person outside the door, somewhat stunned.
“Nate… Why are you crying like that?”
Nate’s eyes were red and swollen, tears rolling in his eyes and streaming down his face.
Nate was also hurt, having never received such a strange task in all these years.
“Thanks for your concern. I just… chopped thirty pounds of onions.”
“Why did you suddenly chop onions?”
Chloe was surprised. Were they going to make onion pancakes?
Couldn’t they just buy them?
And thirty pounds?
“Hehe…” Nate forced a smile, wishing he knew why he had to chop onions!
“Hold on, I’ll get you a clean towel to put on your eyes.” Since she encountered this situation, she should help.
But as soon as she finished speaking, Damon’s cold voice came from behind.
“Alright, lunch break is almost over. You rest, and he… will be fine.”
Nate thought to himself, of course I was not fine! My eyes were burning!
Before Chloe could react, Damon put his hand on her waist, pushed her aside, and gracefully walked out the door.
“What…”
Chloe wanted to say something more, but the two didn’t stop. Nate just politely nodded at her, his eyes red and swollen, and left like that.
Although Chloe felt a bit puzzled, it wasn’t really her concern.
As soon as the door closed, the room returned to its cold silence.
Chloe couldn’t help but shiver.
Even though that man didn’t say much, the room felt so empty after he left.
The sound of the TV in the living room was still echoing, but it was just another unimportant news.
Chloe turned off the TV, and her phone rang…
Picking up the phone, a familiar voice came through from the other end.
“Hello, is this Chloe?”
Chloe chuckled lightly and replied, “Granny Harper, good afternoon.”
“Mmm, good. Have you had lunch yet?”
Chloe smelled the lingering aroma of meat in the living room, feeling a bit hungry.
“I just finished eating.”
“Oh dear, that’s a pity. I was hoping to have lunch with you.”
‘Sorry about that, Granny Harper.”
“No worries, there’s always next time. Chloe, would you like to go shopping with me?”
Chloe was a bit surprised.
