Chapter 1579
“You’re overthinking, I don’t care about that.”
Chloe shook her head, “But I do.”
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, “I never wanted to be a burden to you, but now, because of me, you’ve abandoned
the Harper Corporation, you’ve even left the Harper family behind, and tonight, the way those people treated us.”
“Chloe,” Damon’s voice was soft, “No one can dictate my decisions. I love you, you know?”
Chloe’s moistened eyelashes fluttered. Those three words touched her heart. Because they held a special meaning.
These three words were not uttered without thought. They were a promise, a declaration of true feelings. Even
though she and Damon were close, she had not heard these words many times. But each time, they’d carve a deep
mark on her heart, indelible.
Because she believed them.d2
“I know,” she nodded, looking down, biting her lip gently, “Though it sounds nice, your diversion is too obvious.”
Damon chuckled lightly, “Because I love you, I must give you the best this world has to offer. So how could I possibly
leave the Harper family behind without any assurance, hmm?”
Upon hearing this, Chloe blinked. She finally lifted her gaze, her guilt–stricken eyes filled with lingering remorse and

“You said it yourself, the Harper family doesn’t necessarily have to be my path to success, didn’t you?”
Chloe sniffled, her nose wrinkling adorably, causing Damon to chuckle.
Embarrassed, Chloe wished she could disappear. Even Nate, their driver, couldn’t help but laugh at her cute
reaction. Chloe pushed Damon away slightly, rubbing her nose with a bashful expression.
Damon found it incredibly amusing, reaching out to touch Chloe’s cheek. He gauged her temperature, then
reached into the compartment in front of the car to grab a thermos. The warm scent of ginger filled the car,
warming Chloe’s heart.
Recently, her Mr. Harper had been like a genie, magically appearing with unexpected surprises. Smelling the
aroma, she knew the thermos contained a health soup specially made by a nutritionist for expectant. mothers in
winter. She had overheard him ordering it from the nutritionist one night, and even saw him taking notes diligently.
He was always silently taking care of everything. If she hadn’t found out, she wouldn’t be sure if she could love him
as much as she did now.
Thankfully, she knew.
“Take this. Drink it while it’s hot. If you get sick, you’ll have to choose–between medication and injections.”
Chloe quickly took the thermos, brought it to her lips, blew gently, then took a small sip.
She couldn’t take medication or injections. She was pregnant. She knew Damon was threatening her, but she
willingly accepted his threat.
“It’s a bit hot,” she looked at Damon, speaking softly.
She intended to lighten the mood, but the way it sounded to Damon was completely different.
His gaze softened at her careful sipping and soft voice. “Then drink slowly.” He murmured, his eyes focused
on Chloe, his intent clear.
Chloe noticed his strange look and quickly diverted her eyes, looking down at the thermos in her hands. Her mind
was in a whirl from Damon’s intense gaze.
However, after a few seconds, she recovered. She looked up at Damon and furrowed her brows, “Isn’t our
conversation topic a bit too disjointed?”
Damon raised an eyebrow with a smile, “What’s wrong?”
Chloe pursed her lips, “What did you mean by what you said earlier, what are you planning to do? And what are you
going to use to fight against the Harper family?”
Damon raised an eyebrow, leaning back on the armrest, smiling at Chloe. “I said it’s easy. Do you believe me?”
His casual and playful look was clear in his eyes. Chloe’s brows knitted together even more; she took a step back
from Damon, sipping from her thermos, her eyes showing her intelligence and alertness.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDamon’s interest grew, but so did Chloe’s caution and suspicion. However, it didn’t take long for Damon to pique
Chloe’s curiosity. “What are you thinking, hmm?”
He was really losing to her. Her eyes sparkled with intelligence, making him eager to know what was going on in her
clever mind.
She should not know about the things he held in his hand. She should not be able to guess the answer to the
question in her mind, regardless of how hard she thought about it.
But she thought about it for such a long time.
If they weren’t together, and one day they met on the business battleground, he would definitely consider her a
formidable opponent and prepare himself accordingly. From early on, he knew she was a queen in her own right,
conquering the world of business with an unrivaled prowess.
Behind closed doors, she was his tender, captivating enchantress. But in the business arena, he never treated her
as just any woman. Her intellect and acumen outshone many, marking her as exceptionally extraordinary.
The place where she could fully flex her muscles, where she felt most confident and proud, was this entire business
world. So he never thought about taking away her freedom.
If she wished for it, he wouldn’t stand in her way. Her existence was not confined to being his wife.
