Chapter 1218


    Addie''s words made Grace Raye’s face turn a bit pale.


    The doctor gently adjusted his sses, his gazes hidden behind the reflection. He remained silent


    for a moment,


    then nodded seriously, "Her body was weak to start with, so an emotional outburst could indeed


    cause fainting:


    Grace turned to look at Presley standing nearby, no longer able to hold back.


    "Presley...Chloe...she’s really crossed the line!" Presley''s face darkened as he stared at the


    unconscious Wendy on the bed, his face twitched, then he slowly walked out of the room.


    Downstairs in the living room, Marina had prepared a lot of fruit, sliced and arranged in a colorful


    disy on the te,


    looking delicious.


    Rose Davis, who sat on the sofa, relishing every bite. "So far,


    the fruit here is the best."


    Marinaughed, "These are all grown by us, all-natural and organic."


    "That''s great." Rose patted her belly and said to Chloe and Damon, "Consider the fruits for my son


    sorted then"


    Damen frowned, nced at Rose, and before she could grab thest strawberry from the te, he


    picked it up first and fed it to Chloe. "How poor is Morrison? He wouldn''t even buy you fruit?" Rose


    watched as thest strawberry was eaten by Chloe,


    gritting her teeth. "Mr. Harper! My son, who is in my belly, is going to be your granddaughter''s


    husband. What''s the big deal if he eats some of your fruit? Are you that stingy?" Damon''s


    handsome jawiine tightened. The thought of his daughter marrying that kid was irritating.


    "Mr. Harper, I promise to make your future son-inw treat you well."


    "Buzz off"


    "Chloe..." Rose immediately turned her attention to Chloe.


    Chloe reluctantly smiled, "Alright, eat up."


    "It''s for your future son-inw.’ Rose emphasized.


    "It''s just some fruit, how could you push the responsibility on your own child?" Nathan couldn''t hold


    back, "Your child is still in the womb and you''re already burdening him. If you shirk responsibility


    onto him now, I can''t even imagine how tough his life will be once he''s born."


    Rose straightened up and grabbed the fruit te in front of Nathan. "I''ve worked hard to carry this


    pregnancy, even risking my life. What''s the big deal if he takes on some responsibility? Otherwise,


    why would I want him?"


    Everyone was speechless.


    Nathan chuckled, waving at Rose''s belly. "Hello, little prince,


    born with responsibilities."


    Rose was amused by Nathan and broke intoughter. Born with responsibilities, little prince? The


    analogy was spot on.


    Chloe couldn''t helpughing. She began to feel sorry for her future son-inw.


    Rose loved fruits even before her pregnancy, and now, the sweet and sour fruits were her favorite.


    She was enjoying Nathan''s fruit while chatting, when suddenly she heard:


    “You''re eating too much fruit. You need to consume more proteins and fats to help the baby grow.


    Save some appetite for the main meal."


    Rose blinked and quickly ced the fruit te back onto the table. She had indeed eaten a little too


    much and now she didn''t feel like eating anything else.


    Chloe nced at the woman who had just spoken, smiling slightly. She didn''t expect the most


    skilled doctor in the Harper family’s medical team to be a young woman.


    "Ah, the burden of a mother"


    "You''re marveling at this just because of a little less fruit.


    You''re funny:


    Nathan joked with Rose.


    Compared to the gloomy atmosphere upstairs, the mood downstairs was much lighter.


    When Presley came downstairs and noticed theughter and chatter in the living room, his anger


    intensified.


    “You upset Wendy to the point of fainting and here you are,


    chatting with friends. Presley, your grandson has found quite a wife." Grace sneered, not hiding her


    sarcasm.


    Everyone downstairs could hear it clearly.

    Seeing the twoe down, Chloe got up.


    "Grandpa Presley."


    "Don''t call me that. I can''t stand it" Presley suddenly yelled,


    his booming voice causing a jolt.


    She knew Presley would be angry, but she didn''t expect him to be this furious. Chloe''s expression


    turned cold, and she didn''t say anything further.


    Damon stood up, pulling Chloe behind him. "Is she dead?"


    "What nonsense are you talking about?!" “If she''s not dead, why are you so furious?" "You...


    Presley was so angry he was shaking, pointing at Damon,


    unable to speak. "You better pray Wendy''s okay, or else, I''ll make Chloe pay!"


    Damon''s brow furrowed, a cold light shing in his eyes.


    "Who dares?" "I dare!! Do you want my life too?!" "You want to try?" Damon''s voice was as cold as


    ice, devoid of any warmth.


    Everyone else in the living room also stood up, Rose was the farthest from Damon. Even at a


    distance of over three meters, she could feel the chill emanating from Damon, as if it was about to


    freeze the entire room.


    It was then that she realized how precious his gentleness and affection towards Chloe were. She


    was Chloe''s friend,


    and although he had been cold to her before, he was more friendly now. Standing opposite him was


    his own grandfather. No matter how powerful or influential a person was, the elders in the family


    always had a higher standing.


    "You would actually, for a woman..."


    "Don''t threaten me, and don''t give me an either-or choice.


    That''s not how it works with me, and no one can change my decision"


    Presley was shaking all over with anger because of Damon''s words, "What kind of spell has she


    cast on you?


    Howe she''s made you lose all your senses?! Just think about it, since you brought her home,


    when has there been peace in this house?!" "The one disturbing the peace has never been her. And


    the one who''s lost their marbles, has never been me."
