Chapter 223
They stopped at a red light at the intersection
The car slowed and halted Chloe’s gaze was fixed straight ahead. She watched the cars on the opposite side making a right turn. As each car passed, she glanced up at the the red light’s
temer
Damon also stared ahead blankly.
After a while, Chloe’s said flatly
Damon, I can’t I can’t unconditionally trust and love anyone right now. You’re great, but I get scared whenever you treat me well…”
Damon’s eyes squinted slightly asking “Scared of what?”
Chloe looked away and turned to look at the handsome side of Damon’s face
Tim afraid I fall in love with you more than anyone I know I’m afraid that I wont be able to accept the worst outcome, no matter how strong I am… I can’t help but think about these things because, for so many years, my relationships have always been like this. I’ve lost too much and don’t have much left…”
Damon remained silent as the timer on the red light counted down
He said nothing once the green light came on. He just started the car and drove past the intersection.
Chloe blinked, “You don’t you have anything to say? Like condemn me, get angry with me, or
“No.” Damon said flatly. His deep voice had cut her off. Tunderstand your concerns, and you can reserve your sentiments. It’s my job to make you believe in me.”
Damon glanced at her. His perfect eyebrows and warm smile gave him an assuring look.
“Just be good and enjoy being my girlfriend‘
Chloe’s heart skipped a beat. She was moved by his words but felt guilty.
How could such a smart person like him not know what the ‘reserve‘ meant in this circumstance?
After a while, she nodded softly, then reached out and took his hand. Her fingers intertwined with his, tightly clasped together.
Damon, maybe. She could bet on him a little more.
Starlight International was the gift Yasmine gave Chloe on her 18th birthday.
Over the years, the company was on the verge of collapse several times. It took work to have made it this successful, and even gained some fame.
Damon sent Chloe downstairs and glanced at the 10–story building, raising an eyebrow, “This is the gift your mother gave you?”
Yeah. It might be less than what your family has.”
“You’re overthinking” Damon squinted at the building. “Nathan’s gift was just a limited edition sports car.
“Nathan? Your brother? It may have catered to his interests. What about you? What was your gift?”
Damon turned to look at her. His deep gaze was calm as water. It felt as if there was a distant mist between his brows.
Chloe waited for his response. His brows relaxed, and he said something softly.
Chloe froze. She was shocked.
“So, do you still think catering to my interests would work for me?”
Chloe shook her head awkwardly, “Probably not….”
To avoid this sensitive topic, Chloe hurriedly opened the car door, “I’m going up, be careful on the road.”
Damon reminded, “Don’t forget about tonight….
“I won’t forget. I’ll definitely bring Rose!*
Damon raised an eyebrow, a faint smile on his face,
“Alright, I’ll make sure to treat her well!*
