Chapter 223


    They stopped at a red light at the intersection


    The car slowed and halted Chloe’s gaze was fixed straight ahead. She watched the cars on the


    opposite side making a right turn. As each car passed, she nced up at the the red light’s


    temer


    Damon also stared ahead nkly.


    After a while, Chloe’s said tly


    Damon, I can’t I can’t unconditionally trust and love anyone right now. You’re great, but I get scared


    whenever you treat me well…”


    Damon’s eyes squinted slightly asking “Scared of what?”


    Chloe looked away and turned to look at the handsome side of Damon’s face


    Tim afraid I fall in love with you more than anyone I know I’m afraid that I wont be able to ept the


    worst oue, no matter how strong I am… I can’t help but think about these things because, for


    so many years, my rtionships have always been like this. I’ve lost too much and don’t have much


    left…”


    Damon remained silent as the timer on the red light counted down


    He said nothing once the green light came on. He just started the car and drove past the


    intersection.


    Chloe blinked, “You don’t you have anything to say? Like condemn me, get angry with me, or


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    “No.” Damon said tly. His deep voice had cut her off. Tunderstand your concerns, and you can


    reserve your sentiments. It’s my job to make you believe in me.”


    Damon nced at her. His perfect eyebrows and warm smile gave him an assuring look.


    “Just be good and enjoy being my girlfriend‘


    Chloe’s heart skipped a beat. She was moved by his words but felt guilty.


    How could such a smart person like him not know what the ‘reserve‘ meant in this circumstance?


    After a while, she nodded softly, then reached out and took his hand. Her fingers intertwined with


    his, tightly sped together.


    Damon, maybe. She could bet on him a little more.


    Starlight International was the gift Yasmine gave Chloe on her 18th birthday.


    Over the years, thepany was on the verge of copse several times. It took work to have made


    it this sessful, and even gained some fame.


    Damon sent Chloe downstairs and nced at the 10–story building, raising an eyebrow, “This is the


    gift your mother gave you?”


    Yeah. It might be less than what your family has.”


    “You’re overthinking” Damon squinted at the building. “Nathan’s gift was just a limited edition sports


    car.


    “Nathan? Your brother? It may have catered to his interests. What about you? What was your gift?”


    Damon turned to look at her. His deep gaze was calm as water. It felt as if there was a distant mist


    between his brows.


    Chloe waited for his response. His brows rxed, and he said something softly.


    Chloe froze. She was shocked.


    “So, do you still think catering to my interests would work for me?”


    Chloe shook her head awkwardly, “Probably not….”


    To avoid this sensitive topic, Chloe hurriedly opened the car door, “I’m going up, be careful on the


    road.”


    Damon reminded, “Don’t forget about tonight….


    “I won’t forget. I’ll definitely bring Rose!*


    Damon raised an eyebrow, a faint smile on his face,


    “Alright, I’ll make sure to treat her well!*
