Chapter 861


    Every decision for anypany, every public performance even at a big event like the


    international Perfume Competition, she never showed a hint of panic. But when she heard the


    news at noon today that she was going to see her mother inw, she seemed so


    nervous


    A gentle smile appeared on Damon’s calm face “You don’t need to overthink it”


    Chloe was still anxious, “Just spill it. I need to prepare and try to make a good impression on her


    the first time we meel”


    Damon looked at her anxious expression, his eyes full of concen


    Do you know what efficiency is?”


    After waiting for a long time, Chloe only got this seemingly inelevant reply from Damon But he didn’t


    seem like the kind of person who would answer off topic.


    Chloe thought for a moment, then answered seriously, Tknow Efficiency refers to the amount of


    work done in a unit of time. High efficiency means doing more work in the same amount of time,


    which means saving time for individuals.


    Damon chuckled. “So don’t overthink it First it’s a waste of time, and second, even if you prepare a


    lot, you might not get a chance to show it.”


    Chloe opened her mouth,pletely clueless about what he was saying! After all that all she knew


    was what efficiency was, not to overthink, and no chance to show.


    Chloe began to wonder if she had be stupid


    “Alright take a break. Weren’t you tired from being outside?” Damon gently touched her head and


    kissed her forehead.


    Chloe closed her eyes and quietly epted his gentleness. But at this moment, Damon’s phone


    that was on the bedside table rang lepicked up the phone and look a look. Chloe leaned on his


    chest and clearly saw the caller was Wendy. He answered the phone indifferently. Yeah


    Damon “Wendy’s elegant voice came from the other end of the phone, “My friends are throwing me


    a wee party tonight willyoue?”


    Damon didn’t answer night away, and Wendy continued, “Bring the missus, it’s a good opportunity


    for everyone to get together and for her to get aste.”


    Only the two of them were in the bedroom, it was so quiet that you could clearly hear the voide from


    the other end of the phone,


    Damon still didn’t answer night away but tumed his head to look at Chloe, obviously asking her


    opinion.


    Chloe naturally nodded her head.


    Then Damon responded to Wendy, “Gotit


    Wendy chuckled. “Great, I’ll send you the addresster. Oh, and tellyour wife not to worry, it’s just-


    a–casualgeltogether among friends. “Yeah.”


    Then he hung up the phone.


    Chloe smiled, touched by his sincerity and honesty, as she rested her head on his chest. Her heart


    was filled with waves of emotion.not from sadness, nor from sorrow.

    She was simply moved by her own feelings. What was so special about her that she could receive


    such pur feelings from Damon


    Wendy hung up the phone, Felix, who was sitting across from her looked at her with a smile, “Look


    at how nervous you were just now. We grew up together and he’s been gone for a few years. How


    could he note to this wee party.”


    Wendy gave a bitter smile Who knows? He has a girlfriend now. He’s so smart and self–disciplined.


    How could he allow himself to get too close to other women? Didn’t you see how he protected, that


    woman yesterday? We grew up with him, but have you ever seen ham be so careful and protect


    someone? Let alone… awoman…


    Thinking about this, Damon’s appearance yesterday shed in her mind, and she couldn’t hide her


    sadness on her beautiful face.


    Felix looked at her but didn’t know how tofort her.


    No one could change Damon’s decision! For him, there was no chance of changing anything he


    had decided. That was what made it so helpless. Even if you stood next Damon, and it seemed like


    you were just one step away, but to really get close to him was as hard as reaching the sky.


    Untouchable He was that kind of invincible person without a single w that could be exploited.


    Who would have thought that such an aloof man would really stoop to protect a woman?


    Wendy was somewhat emotional. She just stretched out her hands, propped them on the coffee


    table, covered her eyes, and didn’t make any sad sound. Only her shoulders were slightly


    trembling.


    Over the years, he had never seen her so devastated.


    Felix’s lips were tightly pressed together, his face heavy.


    F, do you think… that woman… is she really worthy of Damon?”


    Wendy suddenly looked up, her eyes full of tears, her eyes red, making Felix’s heart ache instantly.


    No.”


    Wendy suddenlyughed sadly. “Yeah. She’s just a perfume designer with no family background.


    Her familys irrelevant, and look at the scandal they made… What the hell is Damon thinking? Why


    are there so many stories of princes andmoners in this world?! Aren’t those supposed to be


    only in fairy tales? Princes andmoners, don’t you find it ridiculous, Felix?!


    Wendy”


    Felix looked at Wendy’s tears in her eyes, feeling a pang of pain in his heart. In his eyes, Wendy


    was as unreachable as Damon was in everyone else’s eyes. His fingers twitched slightly on the


    table, after some hesitation, he then plucked up the courage to try to wipe The tears from Wendy’s


    eyes.


    But Wendy suddenly sat up straight, took a deep breath, wiped theer of her eye herself, and


    said in a low voice, “I’m sorry, I lost myposure just now.”


    Felor’s hand stiffened, and he ended up picking up his coffee and taking a sip.


    After a while, the doorbell of the coffee shop rang. Wendy smiled faintly, turned her head, and


    waved to the gl


    emorous woman at the door
