Chapter 827
The car jolted all of a sudden Was she going to see Damon?
That thought just popped into Nate’s head He swallowed hard, cautiously asking.
“Ms Chloe, where are you headed?”
Chloe turned her head, looked at Nate, and gave him a small smile.
“What do you think “”
Nate laughed. “I have no idea”
“Quit playing dumb. let’s just get going!”
A twitch appeared at the corner of Nate’s mouth. He wasn’t fully aware of the Harper family’s situation If trouble arouse, wouldn’t he be leading her right into danger?
“Ms Chloe, the Harper family’s old mansion isn’t an easy place to get into. With Prestry being seriously ill, there’s bound to be a lot of people around…”
“I know, you don’t need to explain any further I won’t be causing them trouble.”
Being used to running a company Chloe was decisive and assertive in her speech.
Nate fell helpless, knowing that no amount of persuasion would change Chloe’s mind.
He could only try his best to remind Chloe of the things she needed to be aware of.
Nate was efficient in his work. He quickly arranged everything and in no time, they were on the plane.
However, sitting next to Chloe, Nate’s eyelid kept twitching.
“Look that guy is so handsome!”
“Ive seen him before, he’s the one who did the photoshoot with Jeanette for Glamour!”
“I think so too.”
“At that time, I searched for ages but couldn’t find any information on him. He must be a newbie.”
“He’s so handsome, it’d be a shame if he doesn’t work in the entertainment industry.”
“But judging by his vibe, I think he might be gay…”
Nate’s mouth twitched again!
Chloe felt helpless towards these discussions. She picked up a magazine to read. It was Glamour, the issue she did with Jeanette.
She turned to look at Nate next to her. Seeing that he looked uncomfortable, she put down the magazine.
“Nate, are you okay? Do you have airsickness?”
“Ms. Chloe, the plane… hasn’t taken off yet…”
Nate looked at Chloe’s face, so close to him, and didn’t dare to make a sound.
Chloe frowned, looking at him with worry. “Then why…”
Tm scared of you! Nate screamed internally.
If Damon knew that Chloe was sitting next to him, not just close to him but also caring for him, Nate had no idea what kind of punishment he’d face.
“I’m fine. Could you… hold back a little?”
Chloe stiffened slightly, then slowly sat upright, leaning back in her own seat.
Nate let out a sigh of relief.
The announcement for the plane’s takeoff came on. Chloe’s eyes twinkled, a hint of anticipation flashing across her face.
In the study of the Harper family’s mansion, Damon put down his work, sat in the chair, and rubbed his temples.
The study was quiet. Damon turned his head to look out the window, watching the dim light casting shadows in the yard.
Over the past two decades, he had never really experienced true loneliness.
But now the feeling was extremely clear.
Damon picked up his phone, opened a webpage, and once again skimmed through the news about Chloe.
He knew that her heart was filled with pain. Even if she successfully punished all those who had once insulted her, how happy could she really be?
Tonight, was she lying awake in bed alone, or sitting on the couch in a daze?
Looking at Chloe’s picture on his phone, Damon’s gaze gradually darkened. Not long after, the screen of his phone flickered, and a call came in. It was Nathan.
Damon frowned and picked up the call.
“Bro, I just changed the water in the backyard hot spring, wanna come soak for a bit?”
Damon was about to refuse when Nathan interrupted him.
“You’re being unwise. I know you’re a workaholic, but if you go home exhausted… your fiancée will be worried…”
Damon’s gaze flickered, “Where are you now?”
“I’m in the hot spring! Hurry up, I promise you’ll feel great!”
Damon immediately hung up. Nathan sat by the hot spring, laughing. His chest slightly vibrating along with his laughter, exuding a deadly allure.
When his laughter died down, his firm and handsome face was fully revealed. His elegance and nobility were innate, and living in the north for a few years had added a touch of wild charm to him. Damon was planning on continuing his work, but soon enough, he threw his pen onto the table.
In the end, he stood up and left the study
The backyard hot spring was a natural one, surrounded by a few artificial mountains. Near the hot spring were several plum trees. Taking a bath here in winter was a very enjoyable thing. When Damon arrived at the hot spring, Nathan was holding a wine glass, half of the red wine already gone.
Seeing Damon, he immediately poured another glass of wine and set it aside.
