Chapter 356
He never responded to her reliance on him, she endured the ridicule and sarcasm from others,
bearing the nder for a whole six years. “As long as you trust me, that’s all that matters. Let’s try to
keep this low-key, I am your fiancée after all, if this blows up, it will affect your reputation!”
Back then, she chose not to pursue it, simply because she believed, he trusted her!
Even to protect his reputation, she ultimately chose topromise herself.
He felt like his heart had been cut open, the pain was unbearable…
In Chloe’s room, Nate stood solemnly at the door
“Sir, this is all we could find for tonight. Because Old Mrs. Summers was involved in a bribe back
then, plus the way the Summers family handled it was rather crude, most of the evidence has been
erased, it’s hard to get any now.”
“I just need results” Damon’s face was gloomy, his deep eyes were enough to intimidate anyone.
“Yes, sir.”
Nate bowed slightly, showing utmost respect.
Chloe, with her arms crossed, stood by the window. Under the dim light, the tree shadows swayed,
making everything seem eerily quiet.
She closed her eyes, suppressing the chill rising in her heart, swallowed the sour lump in her throat,
and when she opened her eyes again, her gaze was blurry, looking through the window into the
darkness.
Someone wrapped their arms around her from behind, the cold embrace made her feel a warmth
she had never felt before.
Her eyshes trembled slightly, the chill in her heart faded by hall.
This person was her redemption in this life.
Chloe thought.
She just leaned on his chest, looking at the deste night outside the window, feeling a sense of
peaceful beauty
“You have ten seconds to feel sad”
His low voice rang out from above her head, dominating and stingy.
The stiff and awkwardfort, showing a bit of helplessness, made Chloe chuckle.
“What?”
Damon’s hand holding her tightened a bit.
The depression in her heart gradually disappeared, Chloe turned around in his arms, looking up at
the handsome man who was much taller than
her.
“Ten seconds is not enough to feel sad.”
“Then you don’t have the right to feel sad, ten seconds is the limit.”
Chloe smiled slightly, raising her chin to look into Damon’s eyes, after a while, she said:
“I’m not sad.”
A hint of a smile gradually appeared in Damon’s gloomy eyes, he tucked her loose hair behind her
ear, his fingers lingering on her cheek.
“I only feel sad when I care, they…are not worth it. Feeling sad for their indifference is punishing
myself.”
She paused, holding his hand in hers, then stared at him, her mouth opened but no sound came
out.
“Who is worth it?”
Damon suddenly spoke, making Chloe startled. “Huh?”
“Who is worth your sadness?”
Chloe paused, looking into the man’s deep and dominant eyes, she slowly blinked and smiled,
“You.”
Damon’s eyes rxed, he gently kissed her forehead and said satisfyingly. “I won’t make you
unhappy.”
Chloeughed lightly. “That’s wonderful.*
After a while, Damon opened his mouth again.
“Did you drug Amelia?”
No”
Damon didn’t speak, just silently watched her.
Chloe slightly parted her lips, then continued to say, “I brought some rose essential oil.”
Damon’s eyebrows twitched slightly, he remembered, this question, they had discussed itst night.
“Have you heard of so-called aphrodisiacs? Roses, lilies, rosemary, these can all be used as
ingredients, they are the most natural aphrodisiacs.”
Damon was silent for a long time, then said, “You know quite a lot.”
“It’s basic knowledge for a perfumer.”
Damon fell silent again, after a long time-
“Do you have it now?”
“What?”

“Rose essential oil.”
“What…are you going to do?”
“What do you think?”
“…There’s none left.”
“Any other questions?”
“I don’t want to ask anymore.”
