Chapter 1238
Seeing this, Elizabeth immediately said, “Maybe there really is something urgent. Chloe, you don’t look so good, I’ll get a doctor for you.”
“No need.” Chloe stopped her “Maybe I didn’t sleep well last night, I’ll probably feel better after a nap”
‘Eat breakfast first before you sleep. The engagement party is tomorrow, and there are going to be many people to deal with. You can’t be sick.”
In the end, Chloe was firmly dragged into the dining room by Elizabeth.
Afterwards, the Harper family members began to come down for breakfast one after another. Rose and Yulia couldn’t help but ask when they saw Chloe’s complexion.
Knowing that Damon didn’t come back all night, they didn’t make a big deal out of it. In their eyes, Chloe looked love–sick.
Soon after, the dining room was filled with the aroma of food. Freshly made sandwiches were spreading their fragrance.
Chloe took a few sips of milk, and when she smelled the sandwich, she couldn’t help but frown.
Rose’s face was also a bit grim, so she forced herself to swallow a few times, quickly ate a couple of sausages, and felt a bit better. Then she looked at Chloe, who was just drinking milk and eating sausages.
“Aren’t you going to eat the sandwich?” Rose waved a sandwich in front of Chloe.
Chloe was already feeling dizzy, and her stomach was uncomfortable. Rose’s waving made her immediately turn her head and push Rose’s hand away strongly.
“You eat it.”
Rose took a bite, “It’s potato salad.”
Chloe turned even further away.
When she went upstairs to rest again, her phone finally rang. Seeing it was Damon, Chloe sighed in relief and quickly answered the call.
“Hello?”
*Chloe.”
Chloe let out a soft breath, “Are you okay?”
No doubt. No suspicion. Damon didn’t return all night, but the reason for her anxiety was just because she was worried about him.
Damon was silent for a few seconds before speaking in a somewhat cold voice. “Are you feeling unwell?”
Chloe paused and walked outside with her phone. Her voice became gentle and hurt. “It’s all because you didn’t come back last night…”
“I’m sorry.”
Chloe walked on the carefully maintained path with a smile on her face. “As long as you’re okay. Did you get things sorted out? When are you coming back?”
Damon fell silent again. “…I might not be able to make it back today.”
Chloe’s steps slowly stopped. “…What do you mean by not coming back…” She held the phone tightly, her lips tightly closed. “Should we cancel the engagement party?”
Because he has important things to do, temporarily canceling the engagement party was the right choice. She also comforted herself in this way.
Listening to her hesitation and suggestion, Damon was silent for a long time.
“I’ll be back tomorrow and I will definitely attend the party.”
Over the phone, Chloe silently nodded. “Okay, I’ll wait for you.”
“Mm.”
“Then I’ll hang up now. You deal with your things as quickly as possible.”
“Chloe.”
“Hmm?”
“Did Presley give you any trouble last night?”
A touch of softness flashed in Chloe’s eyes, “He won’t give me any trouble. Just hurry up and deal with your things.”
After hanging up the phone, Chloe held the phone in her palm, stood still, took a deep breath, and then exhaled heavily.
Nate glanced at the man sitting in the back seat in a suit, his demeanor elegant, through the rearview mirror. His car was speeding, his gaze always fixed on the road ahead. After a while, he slowly said, “Sir…we might not be able to make it back tomorrow night…”
When saying this, Nate didn’t take a deep breath, his hands tightly gripping the steering wheel, his eyes staring straight ahead, not even daring to blink. “You got your answer on the plane yesterday, if you want to take them away, they won’t agree.”
“If we can’t take them, we’ll just snatch them.” Damon’s low and hard voice slowly spoke out, that determined attitude, not allowing any rebuttal.
Nate nodded. He knew the boss would make this decision, so he said, if they really wanted to force their way, it would not be possible to make it in time for the party tomorrow night. “Sir, even if we postpone the engagement party for one day, it would be okay…”
Damon’s gaze swept over the scenery rushing past outside the window, his face calm, What he thought of was when he left last night, Chloe’s tight grip on his clothes, and her attempt to hide her unease, but inability to completely conceal it.
His heart ached a bit. When would she be able to value herself more in front of him? But precisely because she looked like this, how could he disappoint her?

Chapter 1238
‘She’s
very scared.”
After a while, Damon’s low voice slowly came. Perhaps he was talking to himself or he was answering Nate’s question.
She was very scared. If it was postponed for a day, she would have to worry for another day. So it couldn’t be postponed,
Not even for half a day, an hour, a minute, or even a second.
Nate didn’t say anything anymore In fact, when he left with the Damon last night, even he who was always by his side, could feel Chloe’s unease and anxiety.
Perhaps Chloe’s sixth sense was too accurate. From the time Nate went to find Damon to the time they left, they never thought that today they would be racing on the land of B Country.
They might not even make it to the engagement party.
He hadn’t known Chloe for a long time, but, so far, last night was the most uneasy and tense Nate had seen Chloe. Because every other time, she was confident, smart, and always had the upper hand.
The car sped up again. He just hoped to be one second earlier, Chloe’s unease and anxiety could be reduced by one second.
Chloe returned to the living room from her walk outside, her spirits seemed to have recovered a bit. At least Elizabeth and the others didn’t insist on getting a doctor
anymore.
However, Chloe did feel a bit dizzy today, and after thinking about it, she decided to go upstairs and rest for a while.
“Hold on, Chloe. This is an orange your grandma brought back for you. Eat one before you go.”
Elizabeth handed her a peeled orange.
How could Chloe refuse? She immediately took it.
Rose was still enjoying her food on the side. The orange peels on the table were already piling up. Chloe couldn’t help but frown and looked at her. “Can you not act like you’ve been starving for days?”
