Chapter 1771


    Damon gently stroked her hair, nodding, “Sure, whatever you say. There''s a lot to be happy about.


    For example, I''m the wealthiest, and our little ones will only grow up in the best environments,


    perfect in every way, right?"


    Thinking about their children''s worry-free future, a bright light gradually ignited in Chloe''s eyes. She


    was determined to love them dearly, very, very much. She wanted to watch them grow from infancy,


    providing them with the best genes, the best life, and the most abundant love.


    Nothing was more important than their babies now.


    It was evident that Chloe''s emotions had genuinely shifted at this moment. Damon kissed the tip of


    her nose, feeling reassured, but there was still a hint of jealousy lingering. In the end, it was those


    two little rascals that mattered most.


    Elizabeth and the others didn''t take long to rush over. When they returned to the hotelst night,


    they didn''t find Damon and Chloe. Theyter learned that the couple had returned to P City


    overnight. Upon seeing the overwhelming news on the Inte, they rushed back in a hurry.


    Just as Damon finishedforting Chloe, Elizabeth stormed into the room. “Chloe!"


    As Damon stood up, he was nudged aside by Elizabeth. She looked Chloe over from head to toe


    before cing her hand on Chloe''s belly, her face filled with worry. “Are you alright?"


    Chloe calmed down, a warm feeling gradually emerging, “I''m fine."


    Elizabeth''s eyes started reddening, ‘Don''t pretend to be strong for my sake. I don’t care how


    resilient you were in the past, but now you''re as fragile as porcin, you understand? You''re


    pregnant and vulnerable to mood swings. This isn’t something you can just shrug off. Do you know


    how many pregnant women suffer from prenatal depression? Your priority now is to take care of


    yourself, you silly girl. What if something happened to you? How would I exin it to your mother?


    Of course, my grandchildren are also important."


    The daughter-inw was important, and so were the grandchildren. She had to treat them equally.


    Elizabeth sobbed loudly, while Chloe patted her back gently, her voice filled with soothing tones,


    "I''m fine now.


    I''ll take care of myself"


    Despite Chloe''s soothing words, Elizabeth continued to sob,ining, “Do you know how


    worried I''ve beentely? Could you please be more careful? You’re such a handful daughter-inw.


    I''m nearly dying from the stress you''ve caused."


    Her sobbing sounded heartbroken, as if she had suffered a great injustice. Chloe continued to


    console her, “I''m sorry. It''s my fault. I won''t be like this anymore, I''m sorry..."


    Damon was taken aback, wondering who was the pregnant one here? The woman he just


    comforted was nowforting someone else?


    Eventually, Elizabeth wasforted by Chloe andy against her chest, huping from her recent


    sobbing.


    Outside the vi, Royce offered Damon a cigarette. The two stood tall and silent for along while


    before Damon finally broke the silence with a chilly voice. “Control your wife. Who''s the pregnant


    one here?"


    Royce took a drag from his cigarette, “You should control your wife too. Don''t make my wife upset


    and angry. If it weren''t for her being your wife, do you think I''d let her off so easily?"


    Damon''s face visibly grew grim, "Why don''t you control your father? Who do you think caused this


    situation?"


    Royce tugged at the corner of his mouth, “You''re quite capable yourself. Do you think you can


    control your father?"


    Damon chuckled coldly, took a casual drag from his cigarette, turned his head towards Royce and


    said, "Wanna try?"


    Royce extinguished his cigarette and tossed it into a nearby trash can. He ced his hands in his


    pockets, turned his head to Damon, and said, “Let''s go."


    Damon did the same with his cigarette, “Let''s go.”


    The two men eyed each other for a few seconds before turning to head to the backyard for a spar.


    But then, they heard Elizabeth''s nasal voice from the doorway. “Honey, Chloe’s hungry. She wants


    your chicken pie."


    Royce paused and turned to look at Elizabeth. Her eyes were still red. When she saw him looking,


    she grinned, “I rmended it to Chloe. I told her your cooking skills are top-notch. Chloe admires


    you a lot."


    When Royce wasn''t budging, Elizabeth pursed her lips and added, “I kind of want some, too."


    Ahelpless smile yed on Royce''s handsome face. Eventually, he turned around and headed


    inside, with Elizabeth following behind him, chuckling, “Honey, your cooking is delicious. I miss your


    cooking.,."


    “Mhm, I know."


    “You''re so good, honey. On behalf of our daughter-inw, thank you."


    "Stop using her as an excuse."


    “Hehehe"


    Well, Damon didn’t even need to show up. With just a few words from a woman, his dad was under


    control.


    There was no challenge at all.


    He was about to go inside to apany Chloe, but remembering he just smoked, he stayed


    outside to let the smell of smoke dissipate.


    A few minutester, a blue sedan slowly pulled up outside the mansion. Damon squinted as a


    slender figure stepped out of the car.


    “Huh? Did you know I wasing and decided to greet me in advance?"


    Damon frowned, "What are you doing here?"


    Rose stepped up onto the porch, “Of course, I came to see my dear Chloe. Mr. Damon, do you


    realize the consequences of making a pregnant woman upset?"


    Rose passed by Damon and walked straight into the living room.


    “Chloe!"


    "Rose?"


    Two excited voices sounded one after the other. Damon furrowed his brows, not looking pleased,


    but he still didn’t go in. He stood at the entrance for over ten minutes until another car pulled up


    outside. Nathan got out of the car, holding Anya, followed by Yulia.


    Nathan: "Well, look who''s waiting for us. We''re humbled by your wee, bro."


    Anya: “Damon. Are your wife''s babies doing well?"


    Yulia: “Hello, Damon. How''s Chloe?"


    As they entered the house, Chloe''s surprise echoed through the room.


    "Yulia? Anya?!"


    “Hello, Chloe."


    "Chloe, Hug."


    “Chloe, I''m still here, you know.’ Nathan protested, feeling ignored.


    Damon sighed. Though he found none of them particrly endearing, as long as Chloe was happy,


    that was all that mattered to him. His emotional state was hardly important.


    However, it seemed everyone else agreed on that as well. His feelings weren''t that important.


    The afternoon slipped away as they chatted andughed together.


    At dinner time, Rose decided to sit next to Chloe, effectively taking Damon''s ce. The women and


    child at the table left no room for the men to contribute to the conversation.


    With Anya around, there was never a dull moment in the house. Elizabeth naturally adored the


    child, finding her incredibly cute. Anya''s asional hrious remarks had everyone in fits of


    laughter.


    Rose and Chloe, both expectant mothers, were overflowing with maternal affection. Seeing Anya,


    they imagined their own babies being just as adorable.


    The cheerful atmosphere persisted untilte night, when everyone decided to stay.


    Rose: "I''m sleeping with Chloe tonight."


    Damon''s face darkened, "Go back to your quest room"


    Rose scrunched up her face, "Why so mean? It''s not like you can do anything with Chloe now that


    she''s pregnant. Can''t you just let me sleep with her tonight?"


    Damon''s expression left no room for argument. Chloe looked at him apologetically, “Maybe you


    could just..."

    Before she could finish, Damon''s gaze drilled into her. His look clearly said, "Dare to finish that


    sentence."


    Chloe shrunk back, looking incredibly wronged.


    Upon seeing this, Elizabeth frowned, “What are you doing?! How can you be so mean to my


    daughter-inw?!


    Don''t you know she''s pregnant? Now that you''ve got her, you think you can be a jerk?! You''re a


    scumbag!"


    Damon grimaced. Chloe quickly got up to calm him down. "Don''t say that. Damon is really nice.


    He''s not.."


    Elizabeth wouldn''t hear of it, "I don''t care. Yelling at your wife, especially a pregnant one? If that''s


    not being a scumbag, what is?"


    Damon''s face was now indescribably unpleasant.


    Chloe patted Damon''s chest, "Don''t be mad. I think you''re great, really great."


    "Chloe, stop pampering him. Men can''t be spoiled, you know? They''ll walk all over you. Tonight,


    you''re sleeping with Rose. If not, I''ll join you."


    At this point, the silent Royce finally put down his ss and stood up, lifting Elizabeth off the


    ground.


    "Hey, what are you doing? I was just lecturing that brat! No, put me down. I want to sleep with Chloe


    and Rose tonight."


    "Why are you butting in? You''ll just get in the way of their sisterly chat."


    "Well, right."


    Damon once again felt that his father was a cunning old fox.


    “Anya wants to sleep with Chloe and Rose too. Yulipop should join us."


    Nathan, casually reclining on the couch, raised an eyebrow at the excited Anya. "The bed''s too


    small. Can''t fit everyone."


    Anya pouted at Nathan''sment. Damon smirked, adding, “Anya''s small. She can squeeze in.


    But your Yulipop can''t."


    At this, Yulia‘s smile turned stiff, and she tensed up a bit.


    Anya looked torn, thinking for a while before finally speaking. “Then Yulipop can sleep with big


    Nathan, and Anya will sleep with Rose and Chloe."


    Yulia didn''t expect Anya to switch sides so quickly. This little traitor.


    “Anya, Rose and Chloe can''t sleep with kids now. They''re carrying babies, and you might hurt them


    in your sleep."


    Nathan interjected, "Anya sleeps like an angel."


    Anya nodded vigorously, "Yeah, yeah, I’m a good girl."


    Yulia: "That''s not okay, Anya."


    Anya''s face fell, looking like she was about to cry. Rose, sitting next to Anya, couldn''t stand to see


    her upset and quickly hugged her. "It''s alright, Anya, don''t cry. You can sleep with me tonight."


    With tears in her eyes, Anya looked at Yulia pitifully. Yulia felt awkward but Nathan just nodded.


    "Since Rose said it''s okay, you can sleep with her"


    Anya pped her hands in joy. Rose shot Nathan a look and rolled her eyes. What a transparent


    scheme.


    Nevertheless, she reassured Yulia, "Don''t worry, it''ll be fine. Think of it as a trial run for me as a


    mother."


    At this point, it would be awkward if Yulia continued to refuse. Finally, she relented, “You have to


    behave, Anya.


    If you don''t, I''ll bring you back here: Anya nodded earnestly, clinging to Rose and refusing to let go.


    Nathan put away his phone and got up from the couch, "It''s gettingte. Let''s go to bed."


    The next moment, Yulia found her wrist grabbed and she was pulled up from the couch. Chloe


    looked at her, causing Yulia to blush and lower her head.


    Watching Yulia and Nathan leave, Chloe smiled slightly, rather curious about their unique dynamic.


    It seemed that Nathan was only like that around Yulia. But then again, someone with Yulia’s


    personality indeed needed a more assertive man.


    "Chloe, let''s go. Let''s hang out in the room." Rose pulled Anya to her feet.


    Without missing a beat, Damon wrapped his arms around her, preventing her from moving. Chloe


    was silent for a moment before looking up at him, and asked tentatively, “How about I go chat with


    Rose for a while, ande back to the roomter. I want to have a heart-to-heart with Rose."


    A dull headache began to form between Damon''s brows as Chloe stared up at him with puppy-dog


    eyes. Left with no choice, he was the one to back down. "Just for a bit, I''ll wait for you."


    Chloe nodded slightly, “Okay."


    Yulia found herself being led upstairs by Nathan, her heart pounding as if it was about to leap out of


    her chest.
