Chapter 1176
“So what’s his reason? He didn’t want, Wendy to be with you before, which is understandable,
because if you teamed up with the Alonso family, his chances of winning would be slim. But why
does he seem to be more fearful of Chloe?”
Royce analyzed the root of the problem without any reservation. Robin was more worried about
Damon being with Chloe than him being with Wendy. Both of them suddenly felt enlightened. Royce
even scoffed. “Is it because Chloe seems smarter and more capable than Wendy? That’s probably
why he’s so wary of her.”
Based on his understanding of his own brother, the answer was obviously not that.
“No way.” Damon didn’t hesitate at all. “He’s a deep thinker and very proud. How could he be
worried about a woman’s strength?”
This was not him underestimating women, but because Robin was just that kind of person. He
seldom acknowledged the capabilities of others. Over the years, no one had ever received his
praise including Damon.
If he weren’t so arrogant, how could he have the ambition to be the head of the Harper family?
He just thought that it was better to hand over the Harper family to himself than to others. How
could he possibly acknowledge Chloe’s abilities?
The two of them had already talked, and they had already had the answer in their hearts.
“Hasn’t he been helping her to find her mother this entire time? Any news yet?”
“Not yet.”
“Protect her well. I always feel that the ident in West Valley happened because someone was
desperate.”
Desperate, meaning they’d tried many times and failed, lost patience, and started to take risks.
Damon’s face became more and more serious, while Royce stood up, looking at his deep and
worried expression, and scoffed. “You have a unique vision. You found a smart, independent
woman with many secret’s that make people curious.”
“I’m hungry.”
O
Upon hearing this, Damon looked down at his watch, “It’s past twelve o’clock, why isn’t lunch ready
yet?”
He stood up with a gloomy face. They could dy eating, but he was worried that his girl would
starve. He walked out of the study room quickly, visibly angry.
Royce looked at him and sighed. Who would have thought that the usually calm son would get
upset just because the meal was not prepared on time. They’d just gone out of the study, paused,
nced at each other, remained silent for a moment, and then walked downstairs together. The
closer they went to the stairwell, the more their lips crushed together. As they came down the stairs,
the servants also rushed out of the kitchen. Seeing the two of them, the expression on their faces
was indescribable.
A few people hesitated, pointed to the kitchen, then pointed to the smoke in the living room, and
awkwardly said, “The madam and the young miss, they…”
Damon nced coldly, and his voice was equally cold. “This kind of task shouldn’t be done by
Chloe.”
The young servants paused, then nodded repeatedly. “Yes! Not the young miss, it’s the madam…”
A few people didn’t continue, they looked at the two seemingly indifferent men in front of them,
feeling that they might’ve been overdoing it. Royce and Damon calmly walked down the stairs and
headed straight to the kitchen.
“Their calmness is extraordinary.”
“They are people who do great things, what haven’t they seen?”
“Hmm… but I feel like they don’t look as calm as they seem?”
Hearing the servants‘ words, Royce and Damon couldn’t help butugh. Their pace quickened
involuntarily.
Before they even entered the kitchen, they heard a series of coughing sounds.
Chloe, “Cough cough… Elizabeth, I think the fire is too big.”
Elizabeth, “Ah? Cough cough… Is it too big? Then I’ll turn it down!”
Chloe, “Cough cough cough cough… It seems like the fire is even bigger!”
Elizabeth, “Eh? This… I’m not very familiar with this kitchenware. Wait a minute, let me see…
cough cough cough…”
Chloe, “Cough cough cough cough… Let me do it.”
Elizabeth, “No, I can do it… cough cough cough cough…”
Finally, Royce and Damon’s faces showed signs of wavering. They rushed into the kitchen together.
Chloe had already turned off the fire. Before she could react, she was lifted up.
“Hmm…” She was surprised for a moment, her eyes first swept to see Elizabeth being lifted by
Royce, then she looked up at the man holding her.
Her small face was mostly covered by his hand, revealing only her bright eyes. Her expression
changed from surprise to confusion, and then to relief. Her emotions were incredibly rich.
Looking down at her, Damon felt a slight tremble in his heart, but he still controlled his emotions,
holding her and walking outside while ring at her. “You go on messing around with her.”
Chloe covered her mouth and nose, blinking her eyes with a somewhat aggrieved look.
Could she be med? If it weren’t for his mom wanting to show off her cooking skills, if it weren’t for
her being so confident, she wouldn’t have trusted
her so much.
Now they were almost smoked to death! And his mom had insisted on not letting her help!
Damon probably knew Elizabeth too well, so when he saw Chloe’s expression, he didn’t say
anything more. He held her and walked out of the kitchen, put her on the sofa in the living room,
and then removed her hand from her mouth and nose.
Chloe immediately took a deep breath. Seeing the patchy face of her soft skin, Damon couldn’t help
butugh and cry. Even when they first met, he had never seen her like this.
In the end, he couldn’t help but chuckle, “Little tabby kitten.” Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.
Chloe was stunned for a moment, her face suddenly flushed, and she reached out to wipe the dust
off her face.
Women always liked to dress themselves up to please the people they liked. She definitely didn’t
want to make a fool of herself in front of Damon. However, Damon caught her hand and gently
rubbed her face a couple of times. “That’s better.”
Chloe finally breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Royce carrying Elizabething over, she tried to
push away the man who was too close to her. But the man didn’t move at all. Instead, Royce
sturdily carried the coughing Elizabeth out. He was usually extremely gentle to Elizabeth, but now
seemed unusually serious, obviously angry about something.
