Chapter 1770
Damon’s face turned a ghastly shade of grim, and Chloe, with an air of resignation, gave him a comforting pat on
the shoulder
“object”
Chloe frowned in response, then, gripping the medicine bottle in her hand, stood up slowly ‘I don’t care whether
you agree or not. I disagree with your disagreement”
Damon was speechless What goes around comes around, he thought Was Chloe starting to take petty revenge on
him?
As Chloe’s figure slowly retreated, he remained seated, choosing not to argue further. Her mood seemed stable
now, but he knew it was just a facade. She was forcing herself to keep her emotions in check She was clearly
frightened by Jane’s words, so now she didn’t dare to let herself worry about anything at all.c2
But was it healthy to suppress one’s emotions?
He decided not to confront her, especially at such a sensitive time
Sitting on the sofa for a while, he finally moved towards the kitchen Minutes later, he returned holding a warm glass
of milk and headed upstairs
Chloyou, too.” either, but seeing Damon’s sour face, she couldn’t help but chuckle
She accepted the milk, sipping it as she studied him through the glass. She knew this man too well. He always
appeared so cold and reserved, but being with him had revealed a different side to him
Just how deep was his resentment over this issue? At the summit earlier that night, his face hadn’t looked this grim
She couldn’t help but recall the time he had surreptitiously found his way to Peck’s Manor, sneaked into her room,
and adamantly declared that if they didn’t do it, he’d be devastated
“Oops Halfway through her drink, Chloe burst into laughter, spraying the milk all over the glass.
Damon looked at her in surprise, raised an eyebrow, and handed her a tissue. He gently patted her on the back, his
voice filled with confusion. “Were you thinking naughty things just now?”
Chloe shook her head as she wiped her face “No, no, not at all.”
Damon clearly didn’t believe her.
“I just choked on my milk, that’s all.”
“Hmph” Damon snorted in disbelief.
Chloe remained silent, hoping to shift the topic. After cleaning up, she finally crawled into bed
Damon, wearing just a shirt, sat next to her Chloe looked at him and blinked. “Aren’t you going to shower?”
Damon shot her a glance before suddenly leaning towards her
Caught off guard, Chloe’s heart fluttered as she felt a soft warmth press against her lips. The sensation lasted only
a moment before Damon pulled away. Their breaths intertwined, creating an intimate atmosphere
Chice stared at him in confusion, while Damon rested his forehead against hers, his voice filled with a hint of
disappointment. “Can we negotiate? Maybe we can adjust based on the situation?”
Chloe’s eyes flickered as she pondered his words. After a few moments, she shook her head. “No, Jane said I need
to focus entirely on my pregnancy I can’t risk anything happening to our babies ”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDamon’s gloomy expression deepened. ‘You’re so cruel. How am I supposed to survive these months with you
around all the time?”
Chloe looked at her sympathetically ‘For our babies sake, I’m afraid you’ll have to endure it‘
Damon’s hopeful expression deflated. He nipped at her lips before straightening up. Chloe touched her slightly sore
lips and looked at him reproachfully
Damon caressed her face “Go to sleep. it’s late”
Chice relaxed ‘Are you going to stay with me?”
Damon pursed his lips “Just go to sleep”
Chice was touched
It was indeed late They had spent an entire night at the Global Economic Summit, then flew back from another city.
She had even thrown a tantrum at the airport. She was exhausted
But with Damon by her side, she felt at peace
if he had left the anger and Jane’s harsh words would have been too much for her to bear, but now, all she felt was
gratitude and relief. There was no room for anything else She closed her eyes, comforted by the warmth of
Damon’s hand on her face
It wasn’t until Chloe’s breathing became steady that Damon leaned in to steal another kiss “Such a tormenting little
devil,‘ he murmured softly
Chloes lips moved unconsciously in her sleep, making her look incredibly adorable
Damon smiled faintly at the sight. He could just imagine how cute she must have been as a child. He tucked her
bare hands under the blanket before heading to the
bathroom
Chloe woke up naturally the next day, and the internet was a mess
Everything that had happened was too much for the online community to process The Global Economic Summit,
Damon’s transformation from a kept boy to the founder of Obsidian Group, his words and actions at the summit,
Presley’s current state of mind, Chloe’s physical assault on the cyberbullies at the airport, the current condition of
the victim, and the whereabouts of the arrested cyberbullies
All these issues were so overwhelming that people didn’t know what to make of them.
After right’s rest, Chloe’s mood had improved significantly She was unfazed by the online uproar and calmly
announced her intention to go to the hospital after break
Damon watched her for a long moment, making sure the was genuinely okay before deciding to take her along
himself
The hospital was already swarming with reporters, all of them eager to know the condition of the victim Upon
seeing Chloe and Damon arrive, they immediately huddled
over
“Ms. Summers”
“Mr. Harper”
However, all their questions were met with stony silence. Both Chloe and Damon wore expressionless faces as they
were escorted into the hospital by their bodyguards.
The girl behind “Daily PDA” had already woken up around four or five in the morning and was later transferred out
of the Intensive Care Unit
Jane helped Chloe put on a protective suit, and only after she was fully covered did Chloe enter the patient’s room
Upon seeing Chloe and Damon, “Daily PDA quickly blinked her eyes and struggled to sit up, but Chloe gently
pressed her shoulder down. “Just lie down Her voice was soft, but it camed an authority that wouldn’t allow for any
dissent.
“Daily PDA” obediently lay still, her eyes fixed on Chloe Her face was still pale, and her lips, somewhat dry, trembled
for quite a while before she could speak Before her words could come out, tears were already trickling down her
cheeks.
Chloe pressed her lips together and looked at the gut lying on the bed. She seemed to be barely of age, or maybe
not even that Chloe said, Tm really sorry that our situation has caused this, and I’m also really grateful for your
support and trust. We’ve never met before, and to receive such trust from you. I’m truly moved. But you shouldn’t
have risked your life so casually Do you think it’s worth it?”
The girl lying on the bed shook her head but her tears seemed to flow even more fiercely.
Chloe quietly watched her and said. “In this world, no one is more important than yourself, you know? We all
deserve to experience the most beautiful encounters and life. Please remember the only task in your life is to
become the person you aspire to be”
These were things she hadn’t understood before Back then, she never thought about living for herself, only about
protecting what she thought she had
However the one who truly made her understand the meaning of life was the man quietly accompanying her by her
side. She wanted to stand side by side with him, to become the best woman she could be. That was why she had
been striving for that goal all along
Happiness wasn’t something you protected, it was something you earned.
The girl nodded, her face wet with tears, and her lips trembled for a long time before she finally spoke. I know If my
sister had met you earlier, she wouldn’t have left me so soon”
Seeing the girl cry so painfully, Chloe’s throat tightened and her eyes began to redden. Perhaps it was because of
the pregnancy, her emotions were easily affected.
“My sister ended her life because she couldn’t bear the comments people were making about her on the internet.”
Chloe’s brow furrowed instantly
The girl clumsily wiped the tears off her face, “She was a somewhat famous livestreamer, and as soon as she
gained a bit of fame, people started mocking her appearance There were also indecent remarks from men. I could
see that she cared about those comments. She had a decent income and could support herself, but she was
becoming more and more unhappy. At first, she vented to us, but then one day, without any warning, she ended
her life. Her diary was filled with questions about the world and doubts about herself I hated her for treating her life
so lightly, but mostly, I felt sorrow and resentment
“My sister was driven to suicide by cyberbullying, but after she died, those people didn’t pay any price. They
continued to hurt others from behind their screens. I couldn’t accept it My sister didn’t deserve to die like that. They
shouldn’t have been able to bring you down without any evidence. I knew you were popular, so if my death could
draw public attention and even punish those who engage in cyberbullying, or improve the laws in this area, then my
sister wouldn’t have died in vain, and I would have died
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfor a cause
Chloe closed her eyes tightly in the end, it was another victim of cyberbullying
“But now it’s okay, I saw the news. Finally, people are paying attention to this problem, and those who were
disrespectful to you are also being punished. In the future, it will restrict others behavior online, so all of this is
worth it.”
Chloe’s face didn’t light up much sensing her discomfort, Damon moved closer to her.
Without uttering a word, Chloe’s eyes flickered and she closed them. “Was it worth it? Chloe’s light question was
heavy and icy
The girls smile on her face slowly froze. She watched Chloe for a long while before saying, “I won’t do this kind of
thing anymore.”
Chloe opened her eyes and glanced at her The girl’s expression was full of fear
Damon led her out of the ward room and took her straight back to their home in Greenfield Village.
The journey was quiet and peaceful Chloe took out a thermos to drink water, casually downloaded a game on her
phone, and even turned on the music in the car
However everything seemed too forced. She appeared to be carefree and happy, but Damon’s expression became
increasingly grim
Upon reaching their mansion, Damon got out of the car and directly carried Chloe into the house Chloe was initially
startled by his actions, but she then just let him lead the way Finally she was placed on the sofa Damon removed
her hat and scarf, knelt down in front of her, and looked at her senously “Chloe, do you know that your current
situation isn’t good?”
Chloe’s puzzled expression gradually became stiff, Damon stroked her hair and continued. “Today’s situation has
nothing to do with you, okay? You don’t need to worry or blame yourself. The things you want to do, I’ll handle
them. Or is it that you never believed I could handle things?”
Chloe shook her head lightly. “It’s not that.
“Then what are you still worrying about?”
Chloe pursed her lips and slowly rested her head on Damon’s shoulder
“I don’t know I used to brush off certain comments, not thinking much of them. But now, I can’t quite describe how
I feel. The remarks used to be indifferent to, are now unbearable to even think about I even worry about the future
You, me, and our babies may face such ruthless verbal attacks. They might even doubt themselves, feeling like the
whole world is hostile towards them I can’t bear the thought of them going through that What if they cant handle
the pressure
You’re thinking too much,” he said, kissing the top of her head Nobody’s going to let it get that far We all love you
How could we ever abandon you? Our kids are going to be the best, and they wont give anyone a chance to
criticize them, right?
Chloe nodded gently. Although she heard the words, she didn’t fully registering them
“So right now you just need to keep your emotions stearly and let them grow up healthy. We’re going to have a pair
of beautiful, handsome, and smart babies just like you All they’ll ever receive are endless compliments and
admiration
Slowly, Chloe sat up and looked at him, murmuring I hope they’ll be as smart as
