Chapter 1649
The moment Elizabeth saw Royce, her true colors were revealed, vulnerable, helpless, and pitiful. She was
completely incapacitated in front of Royce. Years of dependency on Royce had conditioned her to become a little
damsel in distress” whenever he was around, completely lost on what to do. And Royce’s weak point was precisely
Elizabeth’s vulnerability Whenever he heard her whining and on the verge of tears, he couldn’t bear it “Don’t worry,
since they didn’t harm her directly and chose to take her away, it means she’s safe for now! They might be using
her to achieve some objectives…
Elizabeth sobbed even harder. Her cries were not loud, but the sound seeped through her fingers and sounded
particularly poignant. “But that makes me feel even worse. My daughter–in–law just came back, and with her
difficult personality, who would be close to her? In the end, it’ll only be Chloe… You’re saying they want to threaten
Chloe, right? Those damn.”
Elizabeth muttered between her sobs, gritting her teeth c2
Royce fell silent for a moment “Don’t worry too much Damon is handling this.”
“But he is so far away! That good–for–nothing is jobless What’s he doing always running abroad? What use is he to
me? He used to be all about work The only decent thing he did was find me a daughter–in–law! Now that his wife is
pregnant, he.. where the hell did he go?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtElizabeth’s anger boiled over as she continued to rant Eventually, she lost her temper and shouted out. Marina,
standing by the side, hurriedly waved her hands and shook her head at Elizabeth, indicating she was being too loud.
Elizabeth glanced at her, quickly realizing her mistake, and quickly covered her mouth. “…I don’t care, just don’t let
me see that brat again Otherwise, I’ll give him a piece of my mind!”
“Alright, do as you please” Royce completely gave in, treating his son like a toy just to please Elizabeth.
She could do whatever she wanted with him. Whether it was hitting or scolding, it was all up to her.
Elizabeth sobbed a couple of times. He’s your son too, don’t you care about him? Don’t you love them?”
Royce went silent for a few seconds on the other end of the call. I do.” One word, if Damon or Nathan were present
to hear it, they would definitely get goosebumps. They had never heard their father. Royce, say the word love!”
Typically, it would be cringe–worthy to hear such a word from a stiff, serious man like Royce, especially when
referring to two tall, brooding men
Elizabeth, however, didn’t find it odd at all Hearing Royce profess his love for their sons, made her feel truly happy.
“So you will let me hit them without stopping me
Royce went silent for another few seconds.
Because I love you more”
A small smile finally broke out on Elizabeth’s face. One she couldn’t hide no matter how hard she tried. Okay, then
I’ll give Damon a piece of my mind
Royce’s tone relaxed slightly. As long as you’re happy.”
“Alright
Elizabeth responded with a firm nod, but her face suddenly fell. “Now’s not the time for this, you… you’re just trying
to pacify mel My daughter–in–law is in danger, and this isn’t the time for sweet talk”
Marina stood by, looking completely lost Indeed, this wasnt the time for sweet talk! And after decades of marriage,
with both sons married, why were‘ they still acting like lovebirds?
Royce pursed his lips Right now, you can’t do anything but worry it’s useless, and like I said, your daughter–in-law is
safe for now
Elizabeth pouted Anyway, I’m upset right now. I don’t want to talk to you anymore. I’m going to be with Chloe I
can’t risk anything happening to my precious grandkids”
Royces voice went cold So you’re saying that your grandkids are more important than me?”
“Of course, isn’t that obvious? Elizabeth responded matter of factly
Royce, hearing her words, tried to swallow his annoyance. He knew he shouldn’t have let it get to him, but he
couldn’t help it. This woman. if he didn’t keep her in check, she’d run wild
“Elizabeth
“What is it? I’m only telling you the truth We’ve been together for decades, so there’s nothing new or exciting about
it. I’ve only just started spending time with Chloe haven’t even seen my grandkids yet Don’t worry, I still love you,

Her candidness and a quick peck didn’t do much to improve Royce’s mood. He wanted to say something, but
Elizabeth hung up the phone, not giving hemi a chance to speak
Marina let out a sigh of rebel Mrs Harper’s words had nearly given her a heart attack! Could anyone really talk to
Mr. Harper

Young Mr Harper had been so alouf, so stern, and so difficult to get along with She’d been with the Harper famdy

At Marina’s command, the Wi–Fi in the entire villa had been switched off. They wanted to keep Chloe in the dark, at

Elizabeth climbed the stairs, heading back to the room where Chloe still sat, fiddling with the double stroller meant
for the twins. Upon seeing Elizabeth, Chloe looked up and flashed her a grin.
