Chapter 31


    Chloe was a bit surprised. She stared at the apple but didn’t reach out to take it.


    Damon shook his beautiful pale hand again and whispered, “We’ve been chatting for so long aren’t


    you thirsty?”


    Alyssa raised her eyebrows slightly, picked up the teacup on the coffee table, took a sip, and said


    nothing.


    Chloe carefully took the apple, identally touching Damon’s fingertips and feeling a bit cold.


    “Thanks”


    She lowered her head took a bite of the apple, and the crisp chewing sound was quite pleasant.


    A glint shed in Damon’s eyes, and he put the fruit knife on the coffee table, grabbed a couple of


    napkins, and began to carefully wipe his long, bony fingers.


    His movements were very precise, showing that he didn’t do this kind of thing often.


    Seeing Chloe start eating the apple, a smile appeared on Alyssa’s face. She looked at Damon,


    satisfied but also a bit envious


    She had never eaten an apple peeled by him in all these years


    and he was her own grandson!


    If only Chloe wasn’t here today!


    Humphi


    The apple was really sweet, so sweet that Chloe fell sweetness in her heart.


    “Chloe, what does your friend’spany do?”


    The living room was very quiet. Alyssa picked up where Damon left off and asked again.


    They’re Spotlight Beauty, they’ve been building their own factory recently, they’re very busy.”


    ‘I see


    Alyssa nodded.


    They chatted about some simple things, and as Chloe finished her apple, Hannah came over to


    remind them to have dinner.


    Having eaten such a big apple, Chloe had little appetite left. But they had been waiting for so long,


    and she had already promised to have dinner with the olddy, so she couldn’t refuse.


    Before sitting down, Damon pulled out a chair for her. She thanked him softly, sat down, and


    Damon pushed the chair in a bit Their cooperation was seamless, and the position was just right.


    Then Damon sat down beside Chloe.


    Alyssa sat across from them, looking satisfied.


    Hannah seemed to always be by the olddy’s side, even when eating, she stood by


    Though Chloe had already eaten something she still picked up her knife and fork and began to eat


    She didn’t slouch in her chair; her shoulders were straight, her back was upright, her chin slightly


    tucked, and her longshes slightly lowered. She didn’t look down at the food on her te, and


    even the way she chewed showed her excellent upbringing and manners N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    Hannah secretly nodded and exchanged a nce with the olddy, her eyes full of satisfaction.


    After dinner, they rested for a while. It was getting dark, and Chloe could no longer stay, so she got


    up to say goodbye.


    Damon also stood up, and the waiter quickly brought his suit jacket.


    ‘Til walk you out.”


    His voice was habitually deep and clear, a simple sentence revealing an unyielding determination


    that was hard to refuse.


    Chloe didn’t refuse


    The two left together, still choosing the fastest route


    “When can you be discharged? Damon’s deep voice echoed above Chloe’s head.


    “Probably the day after tomorrow Damon was silent for a moment, then added, “I might be very
