Chapter 1739


    Chloe had been trying every trick in the book to cheer up a certain sulky individual these past few


    days.


    She was so busy that she had even given up her usual visits to the pce.


    Her sole focus was on Damon


    And Damon, at this moment, was about to lose his cool.


    Not because he was being pursued by Chloe, but


    he was a little overwhelmed by Chloe’s current behavior.


    Every day, whether she was sitting, lying down, standing, or walking, as long as she had the


    chance, she would hold her phone with a seriousness that surpassed any business meeting e2


    The rest of the time, she would hover around him, speaking things that he simply couldn’t


    understand.


    At this rare moment of peace, he was sitting in his study, signing a few documents. As soon as he


    put down his pen, Chloe’s image invaded his mind relentlessly. He couldn’t help but smile as he


    reflected on her unusual behavior over thest few days. A smile of enjoyment grew across his


    lovely face as he shook his head helplessly.


    She was indeed busy


    If she wasn’t busy around him, she was running around in his head.


    However, at this moment, the Ms. Chloe who was bustling about in his mind suddenly opened the


    door to the study. Seeing Damon sitting there watching her, she squinted and smiled, shuffling over


    to him in her slippers.


    “Damon.”


    She called his name in a gentle and pleasing tone, her obsequious demeanor all too obvious.


    Raising an eyebrow, Damon watched her warily


    Chloe perched on his desk, smiling at him, her pearly teeth dazzling in the light


    Finished with work? Let me tell you a joke”


    Damon grimaced, straightened up, and quickly picked up the pen he had just put down.


    1 haven’t finished my work yet.”


    Chloe reached out and held Damon’s right hand, “If you haven’t finished, you must be tired. Take a


    break, and I’ll tell you a joke to rx”


    Damon was speechless.


    Here we go again.


    Ever since returning from the manorst time, she had been following him around like being


    possessed. If she was not pestering him withme jokes, she was suddenly cracking a cold joke


    herself.


    Lame jokes were not his forte, and every time she left him in a state of confusion.


    And the key was that he wasn’t allowed to have no reaction.


    Seeing that Damon remained silent, resigning himself to his fate, Chloe cleared her throat and


    began.


    “Did you hear about the $5,000,000 Lottery?”


    ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .


    Damon raised an eyebrow, his forehead furrowed as he looked up at her.


    Chloe continued, “The winner gets $5 a year for a million years.. Ha, ha, ha


    Damon was speechless.


    Chloe bent overughing, and it was clear she wasn’t faking it.


    What was so funny about that?


    Was it really worth herughing like this?


    He sighed helplessly What on earth had this woman been through recently?!


    When Chloe finally stoppedughing and saw Damon’s impassive, indifferent expression, her


    laughter gradually faded.


    She furrowed her brows and red at him, “Why aren’t youughing? Isn’t it funny?”


    Damon looked up at her, his dark eyes shimmering with light


    Seeing Chloe’s expression growing more and more unpleasant, he sighed, and picked up his phone


    from the desk next to him.


    Chloe’s inseparable phone rang a few secondster.


    She nced at the screen. It was a message from Damon.


    She looked at Damon suspiciously, opened the message, and her mouth fell open in surprise


    “You have received $5,000,000.”


    “Why did you transfer me so much money?”


    Damon put away his phone and said indifferently, “Is 5,000,000 dors worth your excitement?


    Would that make you happier?”


    Chloe was speechless.


    Was that the point?


    In the end, he still didn’t get her joke.


    She nced at the transfer message on her phone, and epted it with a bit of difort.


    It was given to her anyway.


    Thinking about it, she was the first person in the world who could make a cold joke worth five


    million.


    The sound of coins entering her purse was pleasing to Chloe, and she smiled contentedly


    Not bad at all.


    When she looked up at Damon again, she found him already engrossed in the documents in front of


    him.


    Her brows furrowed, and she reached out to poke Damon’s shoulder.


    No reaction.


    Again, still no reaction.


    He still wouldn’t forgive her.


    He really was stubborn.


    “Still mad?”


    “How about I tell you anotherme joke.


    There was a loaf of bread, walking along when it got hungry, so it ate itself.


    Do you know what happens when a fat man falls from the 18th floor? It is a dead fat man.


    Three kids were talking about what’s the most poisonous thing. Kid A says, ‘Mosquitoes, one bit my


    brother’s neck, and it was red and itchy Kid B says, Wasps, one stung my brother’s leg, and now it’s


    swollen and painful Kid C says, I don’t know what stung my sister, but her belly is round and..”


    Her voice cut off abruptly.


    Chloe blinked, intending to spit out all theme jokes she had scoured her brain for. But at this


    point, she suddenly felt something was off


    Realizing her blunder, she blushed deeply.


    Damon finally deigned to look at her at this point.


    This man.


    He had no reaction to anything else, but he reacted faster than anyone else to this kind of thing.


    How could she have known that a joke about three kids getting together would be so dirty


    This these kids are really not innocent. I’ll change it, one day, childhood sweethearts meet. Seeing


    the girl’s outfit, the boy eximed… um


    She didn’t get to finish her sentence when she was pulled into the man’s embrace.


    Looking up, she was met with the man’s tense handsome face. Almost simultaneously, her lips were


    sealed


    Her eyes widened in surprise, her hands resting on the man’s shoulders.


    After a while, Damon finally let her go, his voice low and hoarse.


    “No moreme jokes. If you tell another one, I’ll show you firsthand what’s really poisonous”


    Chloe paused, her already flushed cheeks turning even redder at his words


    “Then can you stop being upset?”


    Damon pressed his lips together, “You knew I would be upset and yet you ignored me? It seems I’m


    not that important to you.”


    Chloe tightened her arms around his neck, “Don’t be sad. You’re thinking too much. Of course,


    you’re very important to me.


    Damon turned his head to the side, I don’t see it.”


    Chloe ‘So how about I tell you another joke, okay?”


    “A ck cat goes grocery shopping…”


    “Shut up!”


    “So are you still mad, huh?”
