Chapter 960
Even though the bed was huge, she still moved to the edge of it.
Damon, feeling helpless, stretched out his hands, pulling Chloe into his arms. Over the nket, he
covered her head and whispered, “Alright, they’re all gone now.”
Chloe bit her lip lightly under the nket, quietly allowing Damon to hold her in his arms. The tight
embrace filled her heart with contentment.
After being held quietly for a while, just when Chloe was finding it hard to breathe, Damon
couldn’t wait to yank her nket off.
“You gottae out, or you might suffocate.”
“Uh…”
Chloe didn’t resist, she lifted the nket and started breathing heavily.
“I was really about to suffocate,”
Her hair was messy. Damon chuckled and slowly smoothed her hair out. Then his fingers slid to her
rosy cheeks.
“I’m sorry.”
Chloe looked at him, “Why are you apologizing?”
Damon leaned his forehead against hers, “I will exin things to Wendy. I never considered her
feelings, so…”
“I understand.”
Chloe said softly,
“You’re exceptional, and it’s predictable that she likes you. Not just me, probably everyone thinks
you two look good together. I knew she was hostile towards me.
Damon suddenly held her even tighter. He didn’t quite like her understanding attitude right now. It
made him feel like she was ready to step aside for Wendy at any moment.
“But I also want to thank her for giving me a chance to prove that I’m smarter and better than her. I
have overpowered the woman who everyone thinks is most suitable for you, so I’m the one who
truly deserves to stand by your side,”
Damon took a deep breath, his eyes fixed on the woman in his arms, his heart filled with both joy
and powerlessness.
“You don’t have to be so perfect. Whoever I choose is always the best.”
Chloe’s eyes twinkled with a smile, “That’s the only way I can be at ease.”
But he was not at ease. The more she did, the better and more perfect she became, the more he
didn’t know how to give her the best.
Damon’s lips gently brushed hers.
“When are we going back to P City?” Chloe asked, there were lots of things that she needed to
handle back in P City.
“When do you want to go back?”
“Hmm… the day after tomorrow at thetest.”
Damon thought for a while, then finally nodded and whispered, “Okay.”
Chloe’s eyelids started to feel heavy, and shey in his arms, her voice full of exhaustion,
“I’m very tired, I’m gonna hit the hay.”
“Okay.” Damon gently patted her, his voice extraordinarily careful.
Not long after, the woman in his arms‘ breathing became steady and deep.
Damon carefully ced her on the pillow, tucked her in, and then left the room.
The doctor was waiting downstairs. Seeing hime down, he said, “This is some sedative, also
let her rest properly, and there should be no big problem then.”
“Hmm, she’s asleep.”
The doctor smiled, “That’s best. It’s good to take less medicine.”
Damon didn’t say anything, just sat on the couch, furrowing his brows.
The doctors looked at each other, packed up their stuff and left quietly.
When Nathan arrived, he ran into the departing doctors, who greeted him.
“Leaving so early?”
“Yes, she’s asleep.”
Nathan nodded and went in:
He then saw his brother sitting on the couch, his face cold as though he was deep in thought. But
Nathan guessed, he must be feeling uneasy, maybe partly because of what he said to him today.
Nathan sat directly on the couch opposite to him, and Damon nced at him coldly.
“Buzz off.”
See, he’s still holding a grudge.
“The family is all here today, and grandpa decided to have a family dinner tomorrow night, and head
back to P City the day after.”
Damon frowned, “Who’sing?”
Nathan smirked, “Both our uncles and their families. Oh, and Phoebe is also here. Grandpa asked
her to notify her sister toe as well,”
Damon’s brows furrowed even more.
“When?”
S
“Just now.” Nathan paused, then scoffed, “Grandpa also knows about what happened at the
banquet, but he seemed to have no major reaction. He even told me to specifically tell you to be
nice to Ms. Wendy.”
Nathan found it ridiculous as he said it.
What the hell was he thinking? Wendy made such a big scene tonight, and grandpa not only
didn’t hold it against her, but even asked his brother to be nice to her. Was he ignoring his
brother’s temper?
Damon squinted his eyes, remaining silent.
Nathan raised his eyebrow. Grandpa really was something. It was obvious that no matter what he
said, it would be pointless. Why bother making him say this useless
sentence.
With a sigh, Nathan leaned on the couch, crossed his legs, and stared at Damon for a while before
saying,
“Chloe doesn’t seem like she’s frail or sickly, and her repeated performances show that she’s not
a timid person. What happened tonight was a piece of cakepared to what she did in the
Fragrance Frenzy and the award ceremony, howe… she suddenly got scared like this?”
Damon also frowned, that was exactly what he was thinking. What exactly happened at the banquet
today that made her suddenly like this?
Nathan also frowned, recalling the situation at the banquet.
“I remember, the only thing that could’ve scared her was probably the ident by the pool.. Chloe
almost fell into the pool…”
Nathan mumbled to himself, then pped his hands, “Right! That’s it, after the pool ident,
Chloe’s face started to look off!”
Damon pondered for a moment, his handsome face suddenly turned gloomy. Their first encounter
was in the hospital, when she nearly drowned in the sea but luckily
survived.
She can’t swim. Her mothermitted suicide by jumping into the sea right in front of her…
In this world, probably nothing can stop her or make her feel scared. Her only weakness was not
being able to swim.

The fact that it can make the tough Chloe feel scared showed just how damaging it was.
Nathan peered at Damon’s face, his own expression losing its yful edge, turning serious.
“Found the chick who tried to mess with Chloe. She’s the illegitimate daughter of Horizon Wealth
Management. Wanna meet her?”
