Chapter 904
She whispered but turned and headed toward the Piaget counter not far away.
“Pity, I don’t really like it.”
Wendy paused, then let out a soft, cold chuckle.
“Welcome to Piaget, how can I assist you?”
Chloe nodded, “Couple’s watches.”
Wendy’s smirk hadn’t fully formed when it suddenly froze on her face at Chloe’s words.
The Piaget salesperson laughed, “Couple’s watches are right this way, please follow me to the counter.”
Chloe followed, immediately spotting a platinum couple’s watch she liked. The men’s watch was simple and elegant,
the women’s embedded with diamonds, delicate and beautiful.
“I’ll take this one.”
Her decision was swift and decisive, without a hint of hesitation.
“Alright, please wait a moment.”
Chloe moved quickly, inadvertently speeding up the salesperson as well.
She took the watch to be packaged.
Soon, she walked out with the beautifully packaged watch.
Chloe paid, picked up her purchase with satisfaction, and headed towards Elizabeth.
“Alright, Mom, let’s go.”
Elizabeth glanced at Wendy, who was still waiting to clean up the watch.
“Elizabeth, you might have to wait for me…” Wendy said awkwardly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs Wendy was about to speak, Elizabeth’s phone rang.
She took out her phone and walked to the side while answering.
“Hello… shopping… forgot… It’s no big deal, right?”
As Elizabeth moved further away, Chloe, not wanting to hang around with Wendy any longer, also turned and
headed to a rest area.
Elizabeth was still on the phone for a while. Seeing her finally hang up, but then make another call.
She put away her phone after a short while and walked over to the couch where Chloe was sitting, her back to
Wendy, saying something to Chloe. She was blocking Chloe, so no one could see what Chloe was doing or what her
expression was.
By the time Wendy finally got her watch, she hurried over.
“Elizabeth, sorry to keep you waiting. Let’s go.”
She glanced at Chloe and the bag with the Piaget logo in her hand.
“Wendy, Chloe and I have something to do, and we probably won’t be home tonight. I’ve called a driver for you;
you can go ahead.”
Wendy’s mouth twitched, “…Elizabeth, is there a problem? Do you need my help?”
Elizabeth glanced at Chloe, sighed, and looked a bit troubled.
“I can’t really say. It’s something you can’t help with, you go ahead…”
Seeing Elizabeth’s expression, Wendy smelled something fishy.
“…Elizabeth, what’s going on?”
Elizabeth shook her head reluctantly, “Chloe refuses to go home, I’m taking her to a hotel for the night…”
Wendy’s heart skipped a beat, “Wasn’t everything fine just now? What happened so suddenly… Chloe… Is there a
misunderstanding with Damon?” “Honestly, I don’t know… They’ve been on bad terms for a while… Now all these
gifts can’t even be delivered… I’ve been trying to get her to go home, to talk it out with him, but she’s so
stubborn…”
Wendy quickly grabbed Elizabeth’s hand, “Elizabeth, if she doesn’t want to go home, then don’t force her. Maybe
she just needs some time to herself… I can help arrange a hotel for you.”
She paused, “Actually, the venue for your welcome party tomorrow is nearby. Why don’t we just stay there
tonight?”
Elizabeth looked at her and nodded.
“Thanks for the help.”
Wendy smiled, “No problem.”
In the end, Wendy took Chloe and Elizabeth straight to the venue she mentioned.
Since there would inevitably be people staying over in case they drank too much at tomorrow’s party, Wendy had
booked rooms in advance.
Chloe was silent and cold throughout, while Wendy enthusiastically booked two luxury suites and personally
escorted Chloe and Elizabeth to their
rooms.
Their rooms were next door to each other.
Elizabeth went straight into Chloe’s room, and put the card for the room Wendy prepared away.
As soon as Chloe entered the room, she put her things on the cabinet, looked around the room, and finally went to

Wendy stood next to her, looking at her straight back, and said indifferently,
“You can stay here. There’s a full range of entertainment services downstairs. If you’re feeling down, you can go
and have some fun.”
Chloe remained unmoved, her back to her, her lips curled in a faint, cold smile.
Wendy didn’t expect her to respond and finally turned to Elizabeth, “Elizabeth, are you really not going back?
Presley, Damon, and Nathan must be worried about you. Maybe I should stay here with you…”
“If they were worried about me, they wouldn’t have caused me all this trouble. You should go home, I’ve taken up
your entire day. Your mother will complain again that I’ve stolen her daughter!”
Wendy smiled, “She’s just talking. You know she’s happy that you care for me…”
Despite what she said, Wendy finally left.
The moment she closed the door, the smile on Elizabeth’s face collapsed.
She sat down on the couch, took off her shawl and threw it aside.
Chloe sat opposite her, smiling at her, “Don’t you like Wendy?”
Elizabeth propped her elbow on the armrest of the sofa, turning to face her,
“That was Damon’s first pick for a future wife. I’ve thought of her that way since they were kids, all the way until
Damon’s 18th birthday, when I fully realized he had no interest in girls, and you know what?! I started to like her
even more! After all, she had been the only girl around Damon from the time they were little…”

Shifting her position, Elizabeth sighed, “Ah! Being your husband’s mom is really tough! Other kids started cuddling
with little girls in middle school! He, on the other hand, seemed to enjoy scaring the bejesus out of a dozen female
classmates every day! When I first found out he was going to be a boy while he was still in my belly, I started
worrying that he wouldn’t be able to find a wife. Do you have any idea how I’ve been fretting over this for the past
twenty–something years?”
