Chapter 542


    ud nced at her with an indifferent look, his face emotionless, “See anything you like? I buy it


    for you.”


    Chloe sat there, her lips tightly sealed, closing her eyes in resignation,


    “No need, Mr. Watson, I’ve got my own money.” Chloe said.


    “Consider it aspensation for not giving you roses ud said.


    *Really, it’s not necessary Chloe was somewhat at a loss for words. She stared at ud’s


    handsome and indifferent face for a moment before finally blurting out, “Mr. Watson, what exactly


    are you trying to do?”


    ud gave a slight smile, not looking up, just calmly said, “Isn’t it obvious? I’m pursuing you.”


    Chloe pursed her lips. “Mr. Watson, stop joking around. I’ve made it clear to you before, I don’t feel


    any special affection from you. If you’re just trying topete with Damon…”


    Before Chloe could finish, ud suddenly looked up, his deep eyes staring at her, “You seem to


    underestimate me.”


    “So what are you thinking?” Chloe asked.

    If she wasn’t so sure that ud didn’t like her, she wouldn’t have pressed him so hard.


    ud looked up, faced her. His handsome face slowly leaned closer to her, his voice deep and


    captivating, “Why are you so eager to draw a line between us? Can’t you be like other women, not


    agreeing but not rejecting either? This way, you can have a backup n. Just in case you run into


    trouble, you can ask me for help! You’d have an exit strategy, right?”


    Upon hearing this, Chloe stared at ud in shock, she couldn’t believe it!


    She never expected a man to volunteer to be a backup n!


    This was something that most men couldn’t ept, let alone him being the heir to The Watson


    Group! If he was like those devated second male leads in TV dramas and novels, who loved the


    female lead to their bones, and could do anything and silently protect her.


    that would be another story.


    But ud seemed to have no rtion to words like “devoted” or “humble“.


    He loved her so much he was willing to be her backup n? This was simply absurd!


    “I’m sorry, Mr. Watson, I can’t have two lovers at the same time.” Chloe said.


    ud gave a light smile, “It’s okay, go ahead and reject me, I’m the kind who bes more


    courageous the more setbacks I face.” “You…” Chloe frowned; besides Damon, ud was another


    man she couldn’t deal with.


    The auction was about to start, Damon was surrounded by people when he came out, just in time to


    see Chloe and ud sitting together, talking face to face. He slightly frowned, scaring the few


    people around him even more.


    He headed straight towards Chloe.


    “Hey, Mr. Harper, we’ve reserved a special seat for you.” The organizer of the Heart of Giving event


    saw that Damon was quickly heading towards the first row and hurried to catch up to inform him, but


    Damon didn’t stop.


    At this mornent, there was only one empty seat left in the first row, and it was at the far right edge.


    Chloe’s chosen position was very concealed, leaning to the left, on the sixth seat from the left. The


    auction venue was veryrge, with just twenty chairs in the first row alone.
