Chapter 1172
Chloe was sitting there, straight as a rod, munching away with such elegance and ease that you
couldn’t help but admire her. She didn’t have to look to know that across from her was a scehe that
wasughably ridiculous. She was eating her breakfast with total concentration, her expression
unchanging in the face of what was happening across the table.
“Ms. Wendy, would you like another bowl of soup?”
Because Addie kept piling food onto Wendy’s te, Wendy quickly finished a bowl of soup, while
everyone else was still eating. She nced at Damon, who was eating his breakfast gracefully
across from her. Despite being full, she didn’t want to leave the table early.
So, she smiled and nodded. “Yeah, thanks Addie, the breakfast is really good.”
Addie tended to Wendy as if she were her own daughter. Seeing that Wendy wanted a second
bowl, she happily filled up another one for her.
Presley, seeing that Wendy had been weed into the house and that everyone’s attitudes were
eptable, felt some of his anger dissipating. He looked at Wendy and said,ughing,
“If you like it, get Addie to make it for you every day. You need to put on some weight!”
Wendy blushed a little. “I’m already quite chubby.”
Looking at her slim figure, Presley snorted. “Where? You kids must be blind. I don’t care what you
do outside, but in this house, you need to eat well.” “Yes! I’m already on my second bowl, aren’t I?”
Wendy’s tone was affectionate, bringing a smile to Presley’s serious eyes. He chuckled, but seeing
that no one else had any reaction, his brow furrowed again.
With a bit of a grumpy pout, he looked up at Addie and asked, “Addie, have you picked out Wendy’s
room yet?”
Addie quickly responded, “Yes, I have! It’s the third room on the west side of the second floor. I had
it cleanedst night.”
Chloe’s hand paused in mid–sip. The west side of the second floor…
The room furthest to the west was Damon’s study, and the second was his bedroom, which was
now their shared room.
The third… Her eyebrows quirked, her lips curling into a sly smile. What an interesting
arrangement.
.
After ncing at Chloe, Addie added, “It’s right next to Damon’s room. Presley and Alyssa are on
the east side, and they prefer silence. If Ms. Wendy needed care, it would be more convenient for
her to be on the west side…”

Hearing that her room was right next to Damon’s, Wendy’s grip on her spoon tightened, a thrill of
excitement running through her.
Next to Damon… Wasn’t that one step closer to him?
As long as… as long as they could spend more time together…
Damon had taken such good care of her when they were kids; there was no way he didn’t have any
feelings for her.
Just then, Elizabeth suddenly mmed her utensils into her bowl, ring at Addie as she said
coldly, “It seems that aside from Presley, Addie has the
most say in this house. I wasn’t even informed about arranging the rooms. You went ahead and
made the decision.”
Addie bit her lip, feeling wronged, but she couldn’t show it. With Wendy moving in and judging from
yesterday’s events, she might have to face these cold faces frequently in the future. If she showed
any weakness, she wouldn’t be able to help Wendy in a crisis.
After a brief pause, she said with a smile, “You weren’t in a good moodst night, so I didn’t want to
bother you. Presley instructed me to arrange everything. If you’re not satisfied with the result, just
tell me which room you think is suitable, and I’ll have it cleaned.”
“Elizabeth…” Wendy was a bit anxious hearing about the room change, “Did I cause trouble for you
all by moving in? If that’s the case, I won’t stay here…”
“Don’t… We’ve already weed you in, the room’s been cleaned, and everything’s prepared. If
you leave now, it would make us look incredibly rude. Presley needs to maintain his reputation. Of
course, it’s up to you whether you want to stay or not. If you insist on leaving, I won’t stop you.”
Elizabeth’s words made Wendy ufortable, but she didn’t show any signs of sarcasm or
emotion on her face. She simply expressed what she wanted to say in a calm manner, which still
made Wendy feel awkward.
Leave? She had finally found an excuse to move in, how could she willingly leave? She sat in
silence for a moment, her eyes welling up with tears when she finally looked up.
She was genuinely upset. Elizabeth had never spoken to her like this before, but now… Ever since
Chloe came into the picture, Elizabeth’s attitude towards her hadpletely changed. If she were
the only one who could get close to Damon, there was no way Elizabeth would treat her like this.
“It seems Elizabeth really can’t ept me. Then I…”
“Whether I ept you or not isn’t important. What’s important is that Presley and Addie ept
you!”
“What are you talking about?” Presley suddenly growled. Everyone at the table stopped eating.

“What kind of talk is that? Is this how an adult behaves in front of the younger generation? Are you
trying to stir up trouble in this peaceful house?”
Elizabeth sneered, “Do you think this house is peaceful?”
Royce, sitting next to her, had a stern expression. His handsome face was tense, and veins were
visible on his forehead. Still, he reached out to turn Elizabeth to face him, picked up her half–
finished bowl of soup, and began to feed her.
“Here, drink your soup.”
Elizabeth looked at him for a couple of seconds before lowering her head to drink the soup.
Royce fed her the soup bit by bit, asking softly when he finished, “Are you full?”
Yes!”
At this point, Alyssa, who had been quietly eating her meal, slowly put down her utensils.
Seeing this, Wendy quickly said, “Graniny, do you need to do something? Can I apany you?”
Alyssa pulled out a napkin, wiping her mouth with a cold look and a quiet “No need,” then turned to
Hannah next to her and asked, “Is the car ready?” “Already waiting.” Hannah replied promptly.
“Good, let’s go.” She tossed the napkin aside, and Hannah stepped forward to push her
wheelchair.
“Where are you going?” Presley asked with a frown.
“Home. Since you Harper family folks think your words arew and no one can object, then no one
will bother you. I want to live a little longer. I’m looking forward to seeing my grandson, not you.
Hannah, let’s go.”
