Chapter 1712


    Queen Julia cast a cautious nce at Chloe, whose eyes were filled with a hint of mncholy that


    was rather heartbreaking. “Seems like that he indeed knows how to win a woman’s heart.”


    Chloe took a deep breath, and her expression seemed to have turned somewhat unpleasant.


    Queen Julia, who had never been good at offeringfort, was at a loss seeing Chloe’s


    expression. “Well, I can tell he is a good man, he’s probably not the type to flirt around. Trust is the


    most important thing in a rtionship.”


    Chloe managed a smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes, “I know that.”


    But knowing didn’t ease her worry Damon had a way with women, and she wasn’t the only one.


    This fact unsettled her. At the thought that Damon might treat other women the same way he


    treated her, a feeling of suffocation and unease welled up in her chest, even though she knew she


    shouldn’t feel like this.


    Fiona once said that it was not good for a woman to be too understanding. It led to being


    overlooked and taken for granted, which often resulted in men cheating. Despite Fiona being


    younger than her and not always offering the best advice, Chloe had to agree on this one. After all,


    her ex, Lance, was a perfect example of a man who took advantage of her understanding nature.


    Hmph Was she a ma that attracted jerks?e2


    Queen Julia opened and closed her mouth, at a loss for words. It was a sensitive topic, and she felt


    like no matter what she said, she might say something wrong. The atmosphere turned awkward,


    fortunately, Lea soon walked in. No. It would be more urate to say she ran in


    She had been by Queen Julia’s side for decades and was no longer young. Seeing her hobble in,


    Queen Julia and Chloe couldn’t help but stare at her. “Lea, what’s the rush?”


    Lea


    shed in, copsing to her knees in front of Queen Julia, She gripped the Queen’s hand, looked up at


    her, tears streaming


    down her face.


    “Your Majesty…”


    Lea’s voice was filled with grief and an indescribable emotion, “Your Majesty… Princess… she…”


    Queen Julia had never seen Lea so distraught before. She bent down to support her by the arm and


    softly asked, “Lea, what


    happened?”


    Lea shook her head then nodded. “The princess, she has returned.”


    Chloe frowned Ava? Barbara? Becky? But would their return cause Lea to be so upset?


    However, Queen Julia stared at Lea for a few moments, then suddenly grabbed her hand, her voice


    trembling as she asked, “You… you’re talking about… her…” She hesitated to say the name. After


    so many years of disappointment, the pain of broken hopes was too hard to bear.


    Lea nodded vigorously, “Yes, it’s….


    Queen Julia staggered a couple of steps, tears welling up in her eyes. She looked towards the


    greenhouse’s entrance, her grip on Lea’s hand trembling. Chloe, too, had now realized who they


    were talking about, and she watched the entrance in stunned


    silence


    Queen Julia slowly ced her hand over her heart, as if to calm her racing heartbeat. She bit her


    lip, her gaze fixed on the entrance, filled with a desperate hope, as if she were waiting for a


    salvation.


    Finally, the curtain at the greenhouse’s entrance was pulled back, and two figures slowly came into


    view.


    Damon’s tall and imposing figure was the first to catch the eye, but a secondter, when the woman


    he was holding appeared, the greenhouse fell into an eerie silence.


    Not a sound could be heard. Even the sound of breathing.


    Yasmine, with Damon’srge hand gripping her arm, walked with a slightly stiff and strained


    posture.


    Damon’s gaze fell on Chloe the moment he entered His dark eyes held a hint of resentment, but


    Chloe didn’t notice.

    Damon pursed his lips. Although the situation wasn’t ideal, he couldn’t help but feel slighted. He had


    brought her mother here Didn’t she at least owe him a look of admiration?


    At that moment, Yasmine’s attention was focused solely on Queen Julia Her lips moved for a long


    time, but no sound came out. The word she had hardly ever uttered felt so foreign that she


    struggled to speak it. Only heaven knew how much that one call


    meant to her.


    For the first time, Chloe saw her mother appear so anxious and flustered. She could probably


    understand why her mother was


    acting like this, but she couldn’t truly empathize.


    Queen Julia’s grip on Lea’s hand was so tight it was almost bone–crushing, but Lea bit her lip and


    didn’t utter a sound. Tears silently streamed down her face. No one in the world understood Queen


    Julia better than she did, and no one knew how thrilled the Queen must be feeling at that moment.


    This was a scene she had dreamed of countless times.


    Queen Julia’s toes moved slightly, but as she took a step, she stumbled and almost fell. Chloe and


    Lea rushed to support her.


    Yasmine, standing at the entrance, also took a step forward, but a pang of pain made her furrow her


    eyebrows. Yet, she didn’t stop Noticing her intention, Damon helped her walk towards Queen Julia.


    When they were in front of Queen Julia, Yasmine gently pushed Damon away and stood alone in


    front of the Queen.


    Queen Julia’s gaze roamed greedily over Yasmine’s face, her expression betraying her


    uncontroble emotions.


    “Yas. Her hoarse voice barely managed to utter a word before being choked by a surge of emotion.


    Yasmine nodded, tears welled up in her eyes, “It’s me, mother.”


    “Mother” that word made Queen Julia take a deep breath, walking forward and reaching out her


    trembling hand to stroke


    Yasmine’s face. Thank heavens you’re alive.”


    Yasmine bit her lip as tears fell.


    Queen Julia wiped away her tears as they fell, finally opening her arms to pull her into a warm


    embrace. The tangible sensation made Queen Julia close her eyes tightly, her hand gently stroking


    Yasmine’s hair, her voice filled with boundless sorrow. “My child, my dear child


    Reunions didn’t always require a lot of words. Sometimes, a simple call to each other can be more


    powerful than the most eloquent speeches in the world.


    Chloe’s eyes began to sting, so she turned her gaze away. She was neverfortable with these


    emotional scenes. She had been crying a lot recently.


    Damon silently walked up to her, lightly cupped her head with his hand, and pulled her into his


    arms.
