Chapter 1276
Even for him alone, she had no reason to be dissatisfied with such a life.
“As long as you like it, that’s the reason I have to do it.” Yasmine said again in a nonchalant tone.
heavy feeling rose in Chloe’s heart, “You should know very well, to me, you…”
“I won’t be able to be with you for a lifetime. I know this might be hard for you to accept at first, and you might encounter many unexpected things. But Chloe, I also want to add more meaning to my life. As long as you can live on peacefully, you still have the chance to find happiness.”
The first half of her life was troubled by relationships. In the second half, she only hoped to devote all her feelings to her daughter. As long as one could live on peacefully, there was still a chance to find happiness…
Tears welled up in Chloe’s eyes. “I don’t want you to sacrifice so much for me…”
Her voice trembled as she choked back tears. “Even so, I don’t want…”
You can’t deprive me of my right to be a mother. Actually, I can tell you these things, or I can choose not to. But someday, you’ll become a mother too. And once you do, you’ll understand.”
At this point, Yasmine suddenly turned her head, grabbed Chloe’s hand, and pulled her in front. Looking up at Chloe with tear–filled eyes, she smiled and
said:
“So, have you and that boy from the Harper family been together for a long time? How is it, do you have kids yet?”
Before Chloe could react, she blushed at Yasmine’s words. ‘Have you been together for a long time? Do you have kids yet?‘ Was this subtle or straightforward?
“…Not yet.”
Yasmine frowned. “Not yet? How long have you been together? How many times? Not successful once? Is there a problem? Have you checked?” With every question Yasmine asked, Chloe’s face flushed more and more. In the end, she wished she could hide somewhere. How did the topic suddenly shift to this?
Perhaps noticing Chloe’s embarrassment, Yasmine paused for a moment, then changed the subject. “Of course it’s better if you don’t have any. Presley is just being stubborn, and you don’t necessarily have to marry into the Harper family.”
Chloe pursed her lips, but the one she wanted to marry was Damon.
“Don’t worry, give me some time, I’ll help you find other good men, definitely not less than that boy from the Harper family.”
“…No need.”
Chloe originally thought her mother was just talking casually. But a few days later, she realized that her mother was serious about her words.
She initially thought that the following days in P City would be very lively and turbulent. But it turned out to be surprisingly calm. Everything that happened at the engagement party made a big fuss, and the aftermath was still not over. However, the heat had faded and can no longer cause any major commotion.
All quiet.
But this kind of calmness was like a tight string that nobody knew when it will suddenly snap when people were unprepared. The current calm situation can only be described as both sides brewing and waiting for an opportunity.
Three days later, at ten o’clock in the morning, Chloe yawned as she came downstairs. In the living room, Bryson, Winston, and Yasmine were discussing something.
When Yasmine saw Chloe lazily coming down the stairs, she said coldly, “Do you always get up this late? Who was handling the company’s affairs before? Is it appropriate for you to be a president like this? You’ve been at home these days either reading or watching TV, lazy as hell, who spoiled you into this bad habit?”
From her tone, it sounded like a real mom talking. Winston raised an eyebrow, “Maybe she was spoiled by her boyfriend.”
Bryson immediately glared at him.
Yasmine sighed, “Indeed, love makes people lazy.”
Chloe scratched her head, apparently becoming accustomed to her mother’s discontent these days. “What’s for breakfast?”
“What breakfast is there now, just have it as lunch.”
“Sure.” Chloe was not picky. As long as there was food, she was satisfied.
Seeing Winston, she suddenly remembered that she had mentioned going to the company today. “I’ll get ready right away, just wait for me.”
Winston glanced at her from head to toe. Her plain pajama set was not at all attractive. He took his eyes off her, took a sip from his water cup, and said nonchalantly, “It’s fine, take your time.”
Walking into the dining room, the housemaids had already heard her voice in the living room and brought out the food they had prepared in advance. All were dishes that Chloe had asked the chef to make the night before.
Yesterday when she told the chef Lilian, Lilian looked at Chloe’s impatient expression and felt like making the dish for her right away. But Chloe stopped her. She said, “Late–night snacks will make you fat. Let’s have them tomorrow“, and then took an orange and went upstairs.
Seeing the food she had been craving for all night, Chloe smiled and thanked Lilian. “Thank you.”
Lilian shook her head, “It’s what I should do. Enjoy your meal.”
“Okay.” Then Lilian went back to the kitchen.
Chloe picked up the cutlery, took a bite, and her delicate eyebrows were slightly raised, obviously very satisfied with these dishes. After eating, Chloe went upstairs to change her clothes. When she came down again, she was dressed professionally. The familiar Ms. Summers they knew came back. “Okay, let’s go.”
Hearing this, Winston stood up, and the two walked toward the door together.
Winston drove, and Chloe sat in the passenger seat. After driving for a while, Winston finally asked, “Why do you suddenly want me to go to work with you?”
Chloe’s hand rested on the car window, her forehead leaning on the side, staring straight ahead. “I don’t feel like driving, and aren’t you going that way too?”
Winston, … Have you ever seen someone going to work at lunchtime and just happening to be on the way?”
Chloe, “Aren’t you?”
Winston was left speechless. This woman truly lived up to her reputation.
You’re right. Of course I am.” Winston gritted his teeth, immediately grabbed his phone and shot off a message to someone.
Chloe glanced at him briefly, didn’t make a big deal out of it, instead she asked, “The historical drama you took upon returning to the country, isn’t it about time to start filming?”
“Next month.”
Chloe frowned slightly, saying, “Crysti took a role in the drama. Keep an eye on her agent for me, will you?”
