Chapter 1681

TI keep a close eye on her, but if you don’t show up at this year’s shindig at Dubonnets Manor,there will be talk.”

Barbara pursed her lips Indeed, she had always been the one invited to all the parties. Being theeldest princess of the royal family, she was always treated with high regard. She was the center ofadmiration, with envious looks constantly cast in her direction.

Although people usually fawned over her, she had often heard them gossiping about her behind herback. If she didn’t attend Fiona’s birthday bash this time, who knew what they would say behind herback. Would they say that her past grandeur was a joke, and that her replacement was a cause forcelebration?

Nowadays, people love to kick others when they are down. She hadn’t experienced it, but she hadseen it happen. Seeing it often, she knew that in this world, only power and status truly mattered, soshe couldn’t give anyone the chance to make fun of her

She had to attend this birthday bash. Even if she couldn’t, Chloe certainly couldn’t have thatopportunity.c2

Chloe returned to the hotel from the palace. In the luxurious suite, Damon was in the study dealingwith work. The room temperature was just right. Damon was wearing a grey shirt. He casually puton a V–neck sweater on top, very casual

Chloe leaned against the door frame of the study, arms folded, quietly watching Damon workdiligently.

She saw him by her side every day but never saw him go to the office, even Elizabeth was alwayscalling him a kept boy, a do–nothing young manof a wealthy family. But who could have imaginedthat the power he held, was truly terrifying. Just being the world’s largest arms dealer was enoughto shock everyone

No wonder he didn’t take the Harper family seriously. No wonder he didn’t mind being labeled a keptboy, In this world, there were probably no other kept boys like him

The man sure looked fine when he was working.

A few minutes passed, and Damon finally put down his pen, leaned back in his chair, and looked upat Chloe

“Seen enough?”

Chloe raised her well–groomed eyebrows, walked into the study, came to his side, leaned on hisdesk, and faced him. “You’re not focusing on your work. I didn’t make a sound”

Damon lightly curled his lips Your presence is so strong even when you’re silent, what can I do?”

T’ll leave then. I don’t want to disturb your work”

Her hand was gently held 1 don’t want to work anymore.”

Chloe blinked “How can you not work? You have dependents both old and young, and they all counton you for living”

He pulled Chloe into his arms Indeed, I need to work hard to support a prestigious princess. But notnow, I’m too distracted by beauty, so I can’t focus

on work”

Chloe sighed and caressed the collar of his sweater, but her eyes seemed a bit absent. It was as ifshe was completely immersed in her own world, not knowing what she was thinking about

Damon narrowed his eyes and grabbed her hand. His voice was low and husky “What happened?”

Chloe sighed lightly, leaned closer to him, and began to fiddle with the hem of his sweater again.“Granny said the day after tomorrow is Duke Dubonnet’s granddaughter’s birthday party and askedme to attend.”

Damon raised an eyebrow. “And then?”

Chloe let go of his sweater. Her slender fingers gently slid on the pattern of his sweater. Those threeare almost furious”

She sighed again and said. They looked like they wanted to tear me apart. Their looks were evenworse than Wendy’s”

Damon’s deep voice rang out, ‘Don’t make trouble.”

Chloe’s fingers, which had been wandering on his sweater, paused. “We’re in the palace. How can Imake trouble?” Her fingers tapped on his clothes to express dissatisfaction and protest

The next second, he held her hand I told you not to make trouble here”

Chloe’s eyes flashed, and Damon’s husky voice carried a clear undertone, making her understandsomething instantly

She looked at him, saw his eyes full of hidden lust staring at her, and her fingers curled slightly.“Can’t you think of something else?”

What did she do? Why did he suddenly change like this?

She moved her body, and her face flushed as she tried to get away from him, but the next moment,she was lifted up and landed on the desk.

Two long arms circled her into his chest. Damon’s face was close at hand. The warm breath hit herface, and the low, husky voice almost grazed her “The pregnancy check before you came, Janesaid it’s already been three months”

Chloe’s eyelids twitched Her fingers involuntarily grabbed his sweater. Yes congratulations, it’s beenthree months.”

A warm hand suddenly rested on her abdomen, and gently stroked it. “Yes, congratulations to usboth”

Chloe swallowed, unable to help but feel a bit nervous This ‘congratulations made her feel a bitfrightened.

Was he congratulating them for becoming parents in seven months? Or was he saying that becauseafter the three–month pregnancy period, he could finally do as he pleased?

Chapter 1681

Although she didn’t agree with him, she thought, given the situation, it was probably the latter. Shetried to bring his attention back.

“I have to attend a birthday party the day after tomorrow.

“Right, you can rest well tomorrow.”

Chloe was flabbergasted. Was that what she meant?!

“Damon, you should be thinking about how to make money and support the family now! Work isimportant…”

1 can’t now. Beauty is in front of me, and I can’t help but waver”

His hand began to wander upwards

Chloes scalp tingled, and she clung to Damon’s clothes. Her eyes were trembling, and Damon’stight expression reflected in her eyes.

The hand on her body didn’t stop. Her face suddenly turned red, and her breathing rhythm changed.Just because it’s been three months doesn’t mean you can mess around

Damon chuckled lowly “Mhm”

Chloe lowered her eyes, her face all red.

Tll go with you to the party.”

“Mhm Chloe responded weakly, lying in the soft bedding, not wanting to move at all.

It had been a while, and although she felt that Damon had been careful this time, the afterglowhadn’t passed, and she didn’t have much strength left

Damon gently squeezed her shoulders. “What’s your game, Chloe? You’ve been stirring the potthese past few days. What are you hoping to achieve. huh?”

Chloe slowly opened her eyes, and a subtle smile played on her lips. “Obviously, I want them to slipup. Nothing says ‘guilty like catching someone red–handed”
