Chapter 1017
Everyone looked at Damon, whose gaze was fixed on a couple not too far away. He was
eerily calm. But they all knew that icy chill was radiating from him.
Nathan shielded his eyes with his hand. The scene was too shocking.
Stanley was still in his previous pose, frozen for a few seconds before he turned his head to
look at Damon. That smug expression was provocative no matter how you looked at it.
Damon’s face was tense, his eyes sharp with an intention to be piercing Stanley.
Thankfully, Chloe didn’t cling to him for too long. She straightened up after a few seconds
and looked up at him.
“I’m going home now.”
Stanley was in high spirits, nodding without hesitation. “Alright, go ahead. See you
tomorrow.”
Chloe’s forehead twitched slightly at his almost jumping-for-joy expression, and she nodded
reluctantly.
“Okay.”
She turned to look at the crowd. “Don’t cause such a scene again, this isn’t the U Country.”
“Okay, got it.”
The satisfaction was palpable as Stanley waved goodbye to the two of them.
“Ned, tell everyone to disperse.”
Ned let out a breath of relief, nodding at Chloe. Everyone started to leave, but a few people
surrounded her.
“Chloe, do you remember me?”
“Chloe, do you remember me?”
“Chloe…”
Chloe stopped them. “Of course I remember you all. But for now, goodnight.”
Everyoneughed, nodding and making way for her. The look in their eyes as they watched
Chloe leave was full of admiration.
Stanley stood still, hands in his pockets, watching Chloe and her group leave with delight. At
some point, E ran up to him, her eyes bright as she looked at him.
“Hey, can I add you on social media?”
Stanley readily agreed.
E quickly took out her phone, typing carefully, searching for his ount.
“Don’t forget to share photos on your feed!”
“Sure! You’ll see all kinds of pics!”
E was practically drooling over Stanley’s beaming face, when she felt a sudden pain in her
arm. Someone was pulling her away.
“What the he ll, that hurts!”
E shook off the hand, not even sparing a nce at the person.
“Do you have a death wish? How dare you mess with anyone?”
E put away her phone, looking defiantly at Noah. “I think I’ve lived long enough. What’s it
to you?”
Noah’s face was tense, his handsome face darkened.
“E, stop ying these childish games in front of me!”
E stared at him, her eyes full of sadness and resentment, like shards of crystal-clear ss.
Another girl came over, hugging E so tight her face was distorted.
“Ollie, I think you’re going to squeeze me to death!”
Ollie looked down at her, her tear-streaked face, and said sternly, “Pull yourself together, and
stop crying!”
E clenched her teeth, fighting back tears, and managed a weak smile. “Who cares, he’s
always losing his temper with me, I’m used to
it.”
Ollie looked at her soft, rosy face, and couldn’t help but pinch her cheek. “Your face is so
squishy…”
“Wollie…” E’s face was distorted from the pinch, making her speech unclear.
“You’re not going home tonight. Come to my ce. My brother’s back, and I’ll introduce
you!”
“Huh?” E didn’t expect Ollie to suddenly suggest setting her up with a boyfriend.
Ollie leaned close to her, whispering, “My brother’s a soldier, really handsome. Don’t you
want to meet him?”
E’s eyes sparkled. “Can I see him in his uniform?”
“Of course.”
E nced at Noah, who had already left, sadness flickering in her eyes. Finally, she
nodded, “Okay, I don’t want to go home tonight. I’ll stay at your ce.”
“Great, let’s go!”
Ollie dragged E into the car Kane dro ve. When Noah came by in his car, he found that
E, who was always waiting for him, wasn’t there. He frowned, taking out his phone to call
E.
“Hello…”
“Where are you?”
“I’m not going home tonight; I’m staying at Ollie’s.”
Noah was silent for a few seconds, “….Are you mad at me?”
E bit her lip. “No, I just want to…”
“Whatever.”
He cut her off coldly before hanging up. E’s eyes became red again. She clutched her
phone and lowered her head, not saying a word. Ollie sighed, patting her shoulder
sympathetically. “Don’t be sad, there are plenty of good men out there! Or maybe find
something meaningful to do!”
Kane, who was driving,ughed. “You’re always getting into fights, skipping sses, and
hanging out with a bu nch of los ers. You want her to learn from you? Do you think she’s too
comfortable in the Tretton family?”
“Kane, can you focus on driving?”
“I’m not driving with my m outh.”
Ollie red at him, but Kane caught her in the act. “Well, I just want to say, your dad at this
age had a daughter like you, so he must be hoping for you to have a good marriage. Can’t
you be a little gentler? Who would want to marry you like this?”
“None of your business!”
Kane shrugged. “Well, it’s not like it has anything to do with me.”
Nate dro ve in silence, his m outh sh ut tight. Chloe and Damon sat in the back; the whole
ride was silent.
Slowly, Chloe moved closer to Damon, resting her chin on his shoulder. “Why aren’t you
talking?”
Damon pursed his lips, not saying a word.
Chloe’s chin wobbled on his shoulder, she watched his tense profile with amusement. “Are
you jealous?”
Chloe saw Damon’s eyshes twitch ever so slightly.
“You really are jealous,” Chloe concluded.
“…No.”
“Then why aren’t you talking?”
“I’m not jealous.”
“Stanley…”

The mere mention of that name caused Damon’s expression to involuntarily change.
“He’s been really good to me over the years, he’s a big deal in my life. But I know my heart,
so you have nothing to worry about.”
“I’m not jealous.” Damon kept a straight face as he continued to deny.
“Really?”
Damon turned to look at her, and seeing the twinkle in her eyes that were brimming with
amusement, he squinted his eyes, pinched her chin, and nted a fierce kiss on her.
“I lied!”
