Chapter 1604
He straightened up, picking up his phone which had fallen on the bed. His handsome face had just flashed on the
video call when, a second later, Elizabeth’s call was abruptly ended.
Elizabeth, who was about to say something, blinked in surprise after hearing the beeping sound, her eyes then
flaring with anger. “That cheeky lad dared to hang up on me!”
She immediately called back and was hung up on. She called again, and again was hung up on. Without a second
thought, Elizabeth knew this was Damon’s handiwork!
She decided to send a voice message this time. “Chloe, if your husband dares to hang up on me again, I’ll I’ll cry on
you!”
After much thought, Elizabeth felt it was unfair to threaten others by crying, but despite the hesitation, she was
firm. Chloe was her chosen daughter–in–law, how could she bear to see her cry?c2
When she called again, the video call was finally answered. Chloe appeared on the screen, her cheeks flushed.
Elizabeth was quite pleased with herself. See, her daughter–in–law was the most pleasing. “Chloe, he didn’t hurt
you, did he?”
Chloe’s face reddened even more. “No…”
“Wait until I come back and I’ll deal with him. Just bear with him for now. Let him have his way.”
Chloe was starting to regret answering the call.
Damon, on the other hand, gave a silent smirk, ruffling Chloe’s hair. “Let’s have breakfast.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe video call continued. Chloe and Elizabeth ate cheerfully on either end of the video call. Damon and Royce
glanced at each other through the screen and then turned away, each watching their wives eat breakfast.
Royce was sitting next to Elizabeth, still wearing an apron. Damon was sitting next to Chloe, also still wearing an
apron. The baby blue apron featured a white kitten with large, round eyes.
The two handsome men had not made eye contact since the beginning. However, they both felt helpless.
The mother–in–law and daughter–in–law seemed to get along too well, which was proving to not be a good thing.
Was it really necessary to keep the video call on even during breakfast?
Chloe figured that thick skin was forced out of necessity. The incident that had just occurred would have been
enough for her to hide in embarrassment for a long time, and she definitely wouldn’t want to meet Elizabeth and
Royce anytime soon. However, she was now calmly having breakfast with them on a video call, convincing herself
that it was pointless to dwell on what had happened and that it was important to act naturally
Hmm….she was starting to understand how people like Wendy managed to appear in public with an air of
superiority, even after their reputations
had been tamished.
After finishing breakfast, Chloe and Elizabeth looked up at each other through the screen, shared a glance, and
then turned their attention elsewhere, both breaking into laughter for some unknown reason.
Royce and Damon looked at them in confusion, “What’s so funny?”
Chloe covered her mouth, her laughter more modest. However, Elizabeth was the opposite, pointing at the screen
and laughing at Damon.
“Why is it a kitten, hahaha. it’s so cute, but it looks so weird on you, hahaha…”
Damon looked down at the apron he had grown accustomed to wearing and hadn’t thought to take off, noticing the
little white kitten in the middle, his face darkening. As Elizabeth continued to laugh uncontrollably, Damon removed
his apron and tossed it onto a nearby chair.
Royce glanced at the modestly laughing Chloe, and also removed his Peppa Pig apron without a word.
Neither of them looked particularly pleased.
Elizabeth, seeing her son’s annoyed expression, gradually stopped laughing. “Alright, alright, that’s enough for
today! Chloe, let’s have breakfast together again tomorrow. You gotta eat more, and as soon as I get things sorted
out, I’ll come home and spend time with you and my precious grandson!
What about Damon, her own son? Was he being completely ignored?
“Don’t call again unless it’s necessary!” Damon commanded with a stern face.
Elizabeth paused, her lips pursed and her eyes drooping, she turned to look at her husband with a pitiful expression.
“Darling, look, your son is treating me like that
Royce wiped away the soup residue from Elizabeth’s lips, shooting Damon a cold look, and even without speaking,
Chloe could feel the chill fron his gaze
Without another word, Damon ended the video call The dining room was once again quiet, and Chloe breathed a
sigh of relief. She cautiously looked at Damon, then picked up her spoon and served another bowl of soup. “This
soup is really delicious. You’re amazing Everything you do is the best.”
She was clearly buttering him up. Still his mood was visibly off.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDamon glanced at the nearly empty soup pot, a faint smile crossing his lips. He lowered his gaze and lifted Chloe’s
shirt, patting her belly gently. Her belly was slightly round, making a “thump thump” sound when patted. He looked
at her, “Are you sure you want to eat more?”
Chloe pushed the bowl in front of her towards Damon. “It’s for you.”
Her obedient demeanor melted Damon’s heart. How could this woman be so adorable?
He stood up, carrying her in his arms and placing her on the dining table. “If your employees saw you acting like
this, would their faith in you shatter?”
Who would’ve thought that this strong businesswoman, who they regarded as a goddess, could act so charmingly
at home?
Chloe’s eyebrows twitched slightly, her eyes shimmering with a hint of mischief. “Should I give it a try?”
Damon hummed lowly, leaning down to kiss her passionately. His husky voice was full of threats. “I’d love to see you
try.”
Chloe chuckled lightly. “If they knew I was such a pushover, how would I ever manage them?”
“A pushover?” Damon gave a wry smile, “And how exactly have I taken advantage of you?”
Chloe, her eyes twinkling, retorted, “What do you think?”
Damon chuckled lowly, leaning in towards her once more.
They resumed the romantic entanglement in the bedroom that had been interrupted by Elizabeth. Chloe’s breath
hitched slightly, her hands clutching at Damon’s shoulders, surprisingly compliant and reciprocating Damon’s
advances.
Her gaze was slightly dazed.
