Chatper 1667

Chapter 1667

She had shot a man point–blank, without so much as looking at him. Afterward, she was ascomposed as if nothing had happened.

It took a moment for Nate to close his gaping mouth, glancing at the crumpled body of Wendy.

At least it was a mercy killing. A single shot. Quick and tidy.

Chloe turned, and walked over to Stanley, handing back the pistol and the bullet magazine from herpocket. “Thanks.”

Stanley took them, weighing them in his hand. Just one bullet was used.c2

She then walked over to Damon, giving him a small smile. “Tired. Need to sleep”

Damon took her hand and pulled her into his arms. He never let go of her. His hand was on herwrist, subtly checking her pulse. It was as calm as her demeanor suggested.

Without a care for the onlookers, Damon lifted Chloe into his arms. He turned and began to walkout. Nate was quick to follow, pushing Yasmine’s

wheelchair.

Damon’s men had started to leave one by one, leaving only Stanley and his men standing. Theylooked at each other in confusion behind Stanley. How could their boss let another man take Chloeaway so deliberately? If this happened in the past, there would have been an explosion!

Stanley ran a hand through his hair. His body was radiating irritation.

“Damn it!” He suddenly cursed under his breath, startling his men.

“Boss…”

Stanley turned abruptly, glaring at his subordinates.

“Is that Damon a freak or what?”

Everyone looked at each other, puzzled. “Huh?”

Stanley gritted his teeth.

“Does he even have a shred of humanity left in him?”

Chloe and that woman were just standing a bit too close for comfort. Anyone could tell that theywere at odds. Damon, standing there, started to act all awkward and uncomfortable. At first, Stanleydidn’t understand why, but then he started to have an inkling.

That woman was one of Damon’s admirer from childhood. She must have been his love rival. ButDamon was able to get jealous over this.

Everyone shook their heads in unison, empathizing with their boss‘ sentiment. “He’s a freak.”

Stanley’s expression didn’t improve. “Tell me, does that make me less of a man compared to him?”

Everyone, “Huh?”

“I don’t get as jealous as he does! Does that mean he cares more about Chloe than I do?”

They glanced at each other and shook their heads in unison. “Boss, that just means Mr. Harper is apetty man! Most women won’t like a man like him!®

Stanley’s mood didn’t lift, and his eyes were glinting coldly. “Is Chloe like most women?”

Their hearts skipped a beat. Without thinking, they shook their heads in unison. “No!”

Thump, thump, thump…

Then, the factory was filled with the wailing of Stanley’s people. They were hopping around,clutching their feet, looking rather comical.

Stanley stormed out, his anger palpable.

Damon had already left with Chloe.

It wasn’t until the afternoon that Chloe finally woke up.

Damon had stayed by her side the entire time, worried that her calm exterior was nothing but afacade. Killing someone might not have been a big deal to her in the past, but now, her bodywouldn’t allow it. She was pregnant, had gone through the fear of her mother being kidnapped, andnow had taken a life. No one could be completely indifferent

However, perhaps he really underestimated her. She slept soundly, oblivious to the world.

He stayed by her side so when Chloe opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was him.

Damon watched her silently His gaze was fixed on her, and he was not planning to miss any hint ofher true emotions.

Chloe lay on her side, looking at Damon’s silent but intense gaze. A small smile played on her lips.

“Morning

Her voice was languid from sleep, her body relaxed

Damon’s deep dark eyes finally moved away from her Its not merning anyway?

Chloe’s sinile didn’t fade, as she propped herself up slightly, resting her chin on Damon’s shoulder.Then why am you still here?

Damon’s brow twitched, and his expression showed this displeasure

Demon didn’t respond and moved her head back to the pillow, as he got ready to rise. But as soonas he sat up, Chloe followed suit, wrapping her arms around his waist from behind. “I promise thiswill never happen again. I will behave and stay at home. Really. This is the last time!”

Damon’s lips thinned. Every time he tried to move, she tightened her grip.

“Let go.” In the end, he spoke, and his voice sounded icy and rigid.

Chloe was silent for a moment, then surprisingly, she let go of him, rolling over and crawling backunder the covers. “If you don’t forgive me, I’ll be heartbroken, and I’ll be sad. I’m pregnant now, soyou figure it out!”

With that, Chloe felt Damon beside her rise from the bed. He then left the room.

Chloe was genuinely upset this time. Even though the act–first–explain–later approach wasn’t veryconsiderate, being given the cold shoulder by her man, even if she was wrong, made her feelwronged and upset.

She had lived for over twenty years, so couldn’t she be afford to be a little spoiled?

The door to the room was opened again. Chloe heard the noise. Her closed eyes fluttered, but shechose not to open them. Not long after, she smelled the aroma of food.

“Get up and eat.

Chloe’s lips curled up into a smile, but she didn’t move.

Damon came over to her, looking down at her. His voice was cold and stern. “Chloe, you don’t havethe right to be angry with me now. I should be the

angry one.”

already apologized to you!”

“I never said I forgave you.”

“If you don’t forgive me, I won’t eat.”

Damon squinted his eyes and retorted in a deep voice, “Spoiled much?”

“Yup. That’s right! You figure it out!”

Chloe decided to be unreasonably stubborn till the end.
