Chapter 1640

Elizabeth was practically joined at the hip to Chloe these days. On the day they arrived at theirhome in Greenfield Village, Elizabeth had even brought her pillow into Chloe's room to sleep besideher.

Elizabeth's care was all-consuming and it left Chloe at a loss for words. Not that she minded sharingher bed with Elizabeth; it was just that she wasn't used to being the center of someone else'suniverse.

It was not that her mother was bad. Her mother had her own way of showing love. Given herpersonality, she also wasn't the type of person to express her love so straightforwardly. ButElizabeth was the polar opposite. Her emotions were always on display. Vibrant and passionate.

At times, Chloe found it difficult to reconcile the image of this warm, expressive woman with herstern, icy father-in-law. But then again, maybe that was what made them perfect for each other. Anice-cold person might just need someone else's blazing warmth to balance them out.

But recently, Chloe was replaceing Elizabeth's enthusiasm a little too much to handle. She thought herappetite had been big enough, but living with Elizabeth had taught her that her stomach was quitesmall in comparison.

“Mom, I really can't eat anymore,’ Chloe finally admitted, looking at the plate full of nutritious food infront of her. From the morning until now, she hadn't stopped eating.

“You're pregnant now. You shouldn't worry about maintaining your figure. I can see you've got asmall frame, but after you give birth and recuperate, you'll bounce back"

“I know, I know” Chloe cut her off. "The babies are what matter most right now."

Elizabeth nodded in satisfaction. "Just let me know if you have something you want to eat."

Elizabeth finally set aside the plate of food and sat down next to Chloe. “Eat when you're hungry. Iknow it's hard, carrying two at once. I can't even imagine how big your belly will get. Damon, thatrascal, how could he let you go through this? It's as if he's showing off his virility. Don't worry, I'll givehim a piece of my mind when I see him."

Chloe couldn't help but laugh. Was having twins now akin to Damon showing off? Had he even hada say in the matter?

Having Elizabeth as a mother made Chloe feel both envious and sympathetic towards Damon.Chloe remembered how eventful Damon and Nathan's childhood must have been.

Elizabeth, misinterpreting Chloe's silence, continued, "Well, nevermind. I know you're partial to him.Let's not discuss this any further. It's not something we can control, anyway. As long as you feelgood during..."

Chloe blushed at Elizabeth's blunt words. She thought she had already gotten used to Elizabeth'sstraightforwardness, but she was caught off guard again.

Chloe tried to change the subject. "Um... I haven't seen Nathan around lately.

There's a lot of food tonight. Maybe we could invite him and Yulia over for dinner."

Elizabeth waved her off, "I don't even want to think about that rascal. But we can invite Yulia. I don'tknow how she ended up with a heartless man like Nathan. Yes, let's invite her and Anya over fordinner tonight. It's about time I made it up to her for being stuck with my son."

Chloe was speechless. Elizabeth's sons were all accomplished individuals, but to hear her talk, onewould think they were good-for-nothings.

“Leaving Nathan alone at home seems a bit harsh.” Chloe said.

Elizabeth shook her head, "It's fine, he's not even in P City right now."

Chloe was puzzled, “What?” Elizabeth didn't notice Chloe's confusion and went off to call Yulia.

Chloe watched as Elizabeth left the room, shaking her head helplessly. She could faintly hearElizabeth on the phone, arranging a time with Yulia, when her own phone rang.

It was a video call from Rose.

Ever since she returned to R City, Rose had been calling her at least once a day. It took Chloe amoment to answer.

As soon as the video connected, Chloe saw Rose's expression change from tired and weary tobright and cheerful. "Hi, Chloe, tell me, is my daughter in law growing healthily?"

Rose's jovial tone was at odds with the image Chloe had just seen. But she knew that Rose's pridewouldn't allow her to show her troubles, even to Chloe.

Chloe forced a smile, “Don't worry, she’s growing just fine. Quite robustly, actually”

“Good. When she's born, I'll tell her how much I adored her even before she was born. Maybe she'lllike me more than you?" Rose's face lit up at the thought, her smile sweet and full of anticipation.

“If you're as beautiful then as you are now, I think there's a good chance of that.”

“Ha! You think a girl's going to judge people based on their looks?"

"Of course, she is my daughter. To win her favor, you should always take care of yourself, get plentyof rest, maintain a cheerful mood, engage in fitness and beauty routines, and of course, succeed inyour career. These are all essential.”

Rose rubbed her forehead, “Suddenly, I feel like being a mother-in-law is a tough job. But restassured, for the sake of our future peace as in-laws, I will definitely do as you said. I'll also makesure this young rascal of mine understands just how hard his mother is working to help him win awife”
