Chapter 833


    “I’m not quite sure I haven’t seen him since I got back.”


    Damon spilled the beans, no point in hiding anything from her


    Chloe cracked her eyes open a bit, looking at him with a hint of confusion


    “You ve been back this long and you haven’t seen him even once?


    Damon peered at her up close. She looked confused but he could tell she was thinking hard A


    smirk shed across his face. This woman, she’s got a sharp mind. He nodded lightly “Yeah”


    Chloe furrowed her brows. the fog in her eyes gradually reced by a clear and keen light


    Damon gazed at her with unabashed affection He was head over heels for every side of this


    woman One moment she was snuggling up to him, and the next, she was all brains.


    A pair of bright eyes flickering with the light of intellect, yet still carrying a hint of her earlier


    coyness.


    He couldn’t help but lean down, nting a kiss on her shoulder, patiently waiting for her to puzzle


    things out,


    But after a while, she stayed silent Damon couldn’t help butugh


    “Alright, stop thinking The family’s a hot mess, and you don’t know squat about it. It’s normal if you


    can’t figure it out.”


    “Whats soplicated about it? Big families like yours, there are only two possibilities!”


    Chloe felt weak all over like her bones had been taken apart and put back together. She furrowed


    her brows, trying to sit up straight.


    Damon embraced her waist and continued to massage her. Upon hearing her previous assertive


    statement, Damon chuckled instead and continued to ask:


    “So what are these two possibilities?”


    Chloe gave a small smile and slowly said.


    “Wealth, descendants”


    Damon’s mouth twitched slightly.


    “Really? How so?”


    Chloe took a deep breath, her expression bing serious.


    “Nate mentioned that your family is quiterge. You have two uncles and several cousins. The


    extent of the Harper family’s wealth, we have no idea. But some family members certainly wouldn’t


    sit back and watch the wealth fall into others hands. Grandpa’s illness is the spark that lit the fuse,


    and the one who lit the fuse was grandpa himself. Once grandpa passes away, the Harper family


    may fall into chaos.”


    Damon’s eyes were locked onto her face.


    “What about the second possibility, descendants? What do you think?”


    Chloe raised an eyebrow looking at Damon with a somewhat unsettling smile.


    “What are youughing at? What’s on your mind?”


    “Do you think you can have kids on your own? You’re a man, and you obviously need a woman to


    have a kid.


    “Given your family background and status, finding a suitable partner is crucial! If you can win the


    support of the woman’s family, you can also put your uncles and cousins in their ce. If grandpa’s


    condition isn’t serious, then he’s deliberately holding you back. As for the reason…”


    Chloe pursed her lips, not continuing.


    Damon was smart. She had made her point clear enough, and he knew what she meant.


    He lifted her out of the hot spring, grabbed a bathrobe from the rack, and wrapped her up tightly.


    After a bit of fuss. Chloe was snugly wrapped in her robe, and Damon carried her out.:


    Back in the room, Damonid her on the bed, slowly unwrapping her bathrobe. Chloe broke free of


    her restraints, quickly dove under the covers before she had a chance to nce at Damon’s room


    decor.


    Damon looked at her bashful demeanor, couldn’t help but grin, leaned closer to her, and


    whispered:


    “There’s just the two of us here. Is it necessary to bundle up so tight? Hmm?”


    Chloe’s face turned red, “Or do I need to strip and dance for you to get a good look?”


    Damon raised an eyebrow, nodding in agreement.


    “Hmm, that’s actually a great idea. Come on, show me your moves.“–


    He said, reaching for the cover.


    “Stop fooling around… stop…”


    Chloe pressed her body against the covers, not giving Damon any opportunity.


    “Behave, let me in.”

    Chloe nced at the clock on the bedside table, realizing it was almost two. She quickly shifted a


    bit, letting go of the covers, making room for Damon.


    “Get in.”


    Damon lifted the covers and crawled in, then pulled Chloe tightly into his arms.


    “You didn’t finish your sentence today Remember to finish it next time.”


    Chloe frowned, “What didn’t I finish?”


    Damon ced a light kiss on her lips, his hand slowly sliding over her stomach under the covers.


    “In the hot spring you told me to hurry… hurry and do what? Have you forgotten?”


    Chloe’s face instantly turned red. She quickly mped her legs together.


    “Damon, you you’re getting more and more… outrageous!”


    “Hah”


    Damon chuckled, his hand resting on her waist, pulling her close.


    “In that case, I won’t hesitate next time.”


    “When have you ever hesitated!”


    Every time he seemed to be torturing her to death, what was there for him to hesitate about?!


    *Of course, next time I’ll let you experience me without any restraint!”


    The bit of loss Chloe felt when she first arrived gradually faded with Damon’spany and teasing


    Lying on Damon’s chest, feeling his warmth, she felt incredibly safe
