Chapter 1773
While Yulia was energetically treating Nathan, Damon sat alone on his bed, freshly washed and scrolling through
emails on his tablet. Compared to the lively scene next door, it was a rather lonely sight
Meanwhile, Chloe and Rose had just given Anya a bath and were now laying on their bed, playing with her and
chatting
“Actually, Nathan is right. Being a mother is not an easy task. We do need to learn more about how to be a good
mother Rose said, her slender fingers gently stroking Anya’s soft baby face. Her eyes were filled with warmth
Chloe nodded in agreement. “Yes, indeed”
“So Rose sighed and looked at Chloe. All our attention should now be on our babies. Nothing else matters, not now,
not in the future “c2
Chloe’s gaze remained on Anya as she spoke, she then smiled and said, I understand, you don’t need to nag me like
Nathan does”
Rose glanced at her feeling a bit annoyed “You are aware of how much you’ve been worrying us, right? You’re
pregnant now, and you are the future mother of two children. You’re not the same person you used to be Can you
be more careful?
Chloe conceded. “Alright, alright I won’t be so careless again.”
Rose gave her a look, “You, my dear, need to be watched from all angles.”
“What about you? Chloe suddenly shifted the topic to Rose, ‘Dont forget that you’re also pregnant, and yet you’re
still going to the office every day”
Rose’s hand, which had been gently stroking Anya’s face, paused. She adjusted her position and stared at the
ornament hanging on the wall opposite, murmuring “Being at home alone is worse than being at the office. There
are lots of people there and once I get busy I don’t feel much of anything”
When she was alone at home, even if there was nothing wrong she would make something out of it
Chloe felt a pang in her heart, “Have you and Morrison really not had a serious talk?”
Rose shook her head and chuckled lightly, “About what? We’re married, and he agreed to have the child. Maybe he
thinks that he’s made a huge concession. What else should expect from him? I can’t push too hard.”
“What do you mean push too hard? Chloe frowned, her changing expression causing Anya to look a little scared
“Children don’t just come along when you want them to. Would we be in this situation if it wasn’t for his
recklessness? Since he decided to be responsible at first, he should take responsibility until the end. You’re pregnant
now, and he’s the father of the child. Has he thought about how he’s going to face this child in the future?”
Rose’s eyes flickered slightly, a hint of pain flashed across her face “Forget it, that’s his problem Right now, I just
want to focus on having the baby if I force him to stay with me, the stress might kill me before the baby is even
born. It’s better this way, and I can focus all my energy on the baby. I can start learning how to be a good mother
now, and when the baby is born, I’ll do my best to be a good mom. Maybe over time, I’ll see things more clearly”
Chloe was silent for a moment. She looked at Rose, her eyes filled with sympathy and sadness, even though she
tried to hide it. “Rose. I really regret letting you marry Morrison
Rose shrugged, pretending to be nonchalant, “I don’t. Chloe, every woman meets a few jerks in her life and gets
blinded by love at some point. I’ve had my fair share Morrison is a jerk, but I am blinded by love. I know that once
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyou miss out on something in life, it’s gone forever. He was my youthful obsession, or maybe my obsession for the
first half of my life So I don’t regret it. At least I had him”
“What about your future?”
“My future? Maybe III change my mind. If not, I’ll just live with you.”
Chloe smirked. “Sounds good, let’s do that”
Rose smiled, “I bet your husband would have me killed”
Chloe smirked again, “He won’t”
But whether he would do something else, she didn’t know
“Look at you, your face lights up every time we talk about him Rose teased, “But I’m glad you’re happy. You
deserve a better man, and Damon is indeed the ideal man. But i have to say he really keeps surprising everyone.
From a self–proclaimed kept man to the founder of a top international company. Wow. You really do have the best
man in the world, Chloe‘
Chice’s smile deepened, “I was also shocked when I first found out”
“That’s why it’s great to be your friend. Now I’m friends with a super–rich woman. Remember to help me out when
I need it.”
“No problem”
Anya laid between them, watching Rose and then Chloe, having a great time. She couldn’t understand or joining in
their conversation, so she had to entertain herself Seeing their slightly round bellies, she curiously touched Chloe’s
Chloe noticed this and looked down at her
“Nathan told me that you have two cute babies in your tummy. When will they come out to play with Anya?”
Chloe looked at Anya’s careful demeanor and laughed, stroking her little head gently, she said, ‘in about six
months”
Anya nodded. “Then you must be very careful Don’t hurt the babies”
Chloe couldn’t help but laugh, “I will ”
Anya then turned to Rose. “What about you, Aunt Rose? When will your baby come out?
“Just like Chloe”
Anya clapped her hands happily. “Then Ill be their big sister I’ll protect them.”
Rose touched her cheek, ‘Anya, you’re wonderful
“Hee hee”
Anya then laid down again, having had a long conversation with Chloe and Rose, she gradually fell asleep
At half past rune, while Rose and Chice were still deep in their conversation, there was a knock on the door The
conversation between the two abruptly ended as Rose
ased an eyebrow Seems like your Mr. Harper can’t handle loneliness Such a clingy man”
Chloe blushed slightly glanced at her, and gently rose from the bed, “You should get some sleep too Don’t let Anya
accidentally press against you
“Don’t worry Get going. If you linger any longer, I’m genuinely worried that Mr. Harper might secretly plot against
me.
Chloe got off her bed, wished her goodnight, and then exited the room.
As soon as the door opened, a strong wave of resentment hit her. Damon’s handsome face was clouded with
discontent. I’ve finished dealing with all the recent emails”
“Prit” The door hadn’t fully closed yet, and Rose, who was inside the room, couldn’t help but laugh out loud hearing
Damon’s unexpected remark.
His complaint was simply hilarious Just because Chloe spent a bit more time with her he was acting like this? He was
indeed very clingy
Hearing Rose’s laughter, Damon’s face darkened even further Chloe quickly closed the room door and snuggled
into his arms, holding onto his arm. She whispered. “Tm
tired
Damon looked down at her, “You get tired whenever you see me?”
Chloe grinned “It’s getting late”
Damon, while leading her back to their room, still sounded melancholic, “So, you know”
“Next time it wont happen”
Damon didn’t reply What else could he say? At least he could cuddle with her at night, which was a blessing
Rose was simply a pain
Chloe physically confronted a few people at the airport, and with Damon’s subsequent assertive and domineering
actions, things started to calm down on the internet Although the trending topics remained the comments
improved significantly. A few stubborn ones got their IDs blocked by the official website Since it was a real–mama
authentication system, once an account got blocked, the user lost the privilege to apply for a new one
Despite several complaints, none were addressed. Even though it tarnished the website’s reputation and even
created unnecessary troubles, compared to the complaints and dissatisfaction from the people, the website admins
didn’t want to offend Chloe and Damon
Every time a trending topic related to them appeared, the admins got scared. The immense traffic forced them to
mobilize their entire workforce to conduct strict reviews. Whenever a negative comment appeared, they got more
nervous than anybody else
The online environment seemed peaceful Many people supported Chloe’s emphasis on curbing internet violence,
and even praised her actions
Some had previously accused Chloe of how she treated the elderly, and now she was taking such drastic measures
to curb online violence. Nobody ever thought about why she did so. or why she targeted only specific individuals, or
maybe she too, was once a victim of online violence.
But later when someone pointed out, it indeed made the entire internet quite down for a while.
Just when everything seemed to wrap up and everyone was quietly waiting for the follow–ups, a piece of news
online instantly stirred up the gradually calming atmosphere.
Chloe after getting a good sleep, went downstairs and found that everyone in the living room seemed a bit off. She
asked with a puzzled look, “What happened?”
Rose glanced at her with a strange look, then quickly returned to normal, “You’re awake?”
Elizabeth signaled the maid, “Prepare breakfast, now”
Everyone was acting normal as if what happened earlier was her illusion. What could have possibly happened early
in the morning?
Curious, she finished her breakfast and returned to the living room. Yulia had to go to the office, so she left early
Nathan, unusually, went to send her off
Elizabeth asked Anya to stay
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmChloe took out her phone, not knowing what to do next, when Rose suggested, ‘Chloe, let’s play a game.”
Chloe gave her a look and nodded, downloading the game Rose wanted to play from the App Store.
Even though Anya was in the living room, the atmosphere was still gloomy Finally, unable to bear it any longer, she
asked, “What exactly happened?
Rose looked helplessly at Elizabeth before finally saying “It’s Granny Alyssa‘
Chloe’s face hardened. “What happened to her?”
Rose took a deep breath, “Granny Alyssa held a press conference early in the morning revealing the divorce papers
she filed against Grandpa Presley”
Chice was taken aback
Elizabeth was silent with a serious look on her face. Finally, she unlocked her phone, opened a random website, and
without a doubt, the trending news was about Alyssa’s press conference
The press conference was held night at the entrance of the Harper Group’s headquarters
In the video Alyssa and housekeeper Hannah were seen
“I have discussed this with Presley and I have given him a day to deal with this matter Clearly, he did not take my
words senously. We both have reached dui and taking this step is indeed laughable But to him, one more joke
doesn’t matter
“I know you all are curious about why i decided to divorce him Yes. I can no longer tolerate his recent behaviors in

Alyssa paused, her gaze piercing straight into the camera lens her expression coldly indifferent “But I’m sorry to
