Chapter 193
“Why?”
“Cause that way, I won’t look so pathetic. At least in other people’s eyes, I’m not the one who got dumped…”
Damon’s hand suddenly stopped, his eyes fixed on her, silently waiting for her to continue
Chloe stared back at Damon’s eyes and slowly said.
You’re destined to stand on top, born to be the center of attention. Your life is almost perfect, and there’s so little I can do for you. The least I can do right now is not be a stain in your life…” Damon’s heartbeat was almost deafening, followed by a wave of subtle pain.
His hand holding her head kept changing in tightness, while his other hand clenched into a fist
So, the reason she agreed to Carolina’s request and endured all the bullying and humiliation tonight, all the patience and even the final counterattack, was all for him…
He had been watching her every move from the outside, thinking he had seen through her tricks, and silently chose to go along with her
He thought showing up when she needed him the most would be such a relief for her.
He was still unhappy with her decision to let herself be bullied tonight…
But it turned out he was just too foolish
“Why would you think that? I don’t care about those things..
1do!” Chloe suddenly said, “Damon, I care. I don’t want to be a burden to you. I’ll work hard to be the best version of myself, to be a woman worthy of you. So you can move forward without worrying about me…”
“No way!”
The next second, she felt a sting on her lips as Damon suddenly kissed her with astonishing force
1 can’t leave you Remember, I won’t…
Chloe’s throat suddenly surged with a strong sourness, her eyes filled with a hot stream, blurring her vision…
- believe you”
She squeezed out those three words from her sour throat.
Damon smiled slightly, giving her a gentle kiss.
‘7’ll take you home.”
“Okay”
Emerald Valley Estates.
Damon brought Chloe home, standing at the door, looking down at her inside the door who was smiling and looking up at him.
“Are you… not letting me in?”
Chloe smiled and waved her phone in front of Damon’s eyes.
‘It’s getting late.
“I’m not in a hurry.”
“It’s already past nine, and you’ll probably get back to Pinewood Manor after ten.”
Damon was silent for two seconds, then suddenly said:
‘I’m hungry.”
Seeing Chloe’s puzzled eyes, Damon added, “I went to meet you right after getting off the plane.”
Chloe frowned slightly, and finally stepped aside to make room.
“Come in.”
Damon smiled and entered the room without any hesitation.
Damon was indeed hungry, he ate lots of food.
After finishing, he didn’t think about staying any longer.
He could see the fatigue on Chloe’s face, and he had indeed been on a plane for more than ten hours.
He pulled Chloe close and kissed her.
I’m leaving You should rest early.”
“Okay, I’ll see you off.”
Damon said lightly, “No need.”
After saying that, he let go of her, picked up his suit from the side, and turned to leave
Chloe was a bit puzzled but didn’t think too much about it.
Turning her head, she saw a pair of shiny cufflinks on the coffee table and thought he hadn’t gone far, so she chased after him.
When she went out, she saw Damon’s figure entering the elevator, and she hurried over, but the elevator door had just closed.
She quickly pressed the down button, but it was still too late.
After a pause, she decided to return them next time they met.
However, just as she turned to leave, her eyes caught the control panel outside the elevator, and her footsteps suddenly stopped…
