Fiona called out behind her, but she didn’t stop on her tracks and hurriedly followed after her. Assoon as Chloe stepped outside, she saw Damon. He was standing there, waiting for her.

Chloe opened her mouth to speak but was interrupted by Fiona, who came running up behind her.

“Chloe!” Her breath was ragged from the run. She tilted her head to look at her, but Fiona snatchedthe little thing from her arms. “Why are you in such a rush? This is mine.”

The warm sensation in her arms was gone, replaced by the emptiness. Chloe watched as Fionacradled the small object in her arms.

Fiona turned her body away protectively. “I knew something was off about you. What are you up to?Are you having second thoughts about the gift?”

Damon had reached her by this time, and Chloe’s gaze immediately shifted from the object inFiona’s arms to Damon d2

He paused, glancing at Chloe before turning his gaze elsewhere. To outsiders, it looked like nothingwas wrong, but Damon alone knew the accusations and grievances hidden in Chloe’s eyes.

Fiona, oblivious to the drama unfolding between Chloe and Damon, looked at them and said, “Soyou’re not sleeping with me tonight?”

Damon shot her a sideways glance. Fiona rolled her eyes and made a face. “Sleeping next to aman is overrated. Fine, you can leave. ‘i

go see you tomorrow.”

“Fiona Mrs Dubonnet, who had followed them out, scolded Fiona for her casual attitude.

Fiona huffed and turned back towards the living room. Mrs. Dubonnet apologized to Damon andChloe before escorting them out.

Chloe, wrapped tightly in Damon’s arm, took the passenger seat in the car, remaining silent.

Damon, who was driving, was the one feeling uneasy. “Didn’t you have fun tonight?” Although itmight seem a bit intentional, someone always had to break the current awkwardness by speakingup.

Chloe leaned back in her seat, giving him a gloomy look.

Damon pursed his lips. “What’s wrong?”

Without answering. Chloe pulled out her phone and started scrolling through it. Soon, a cheery songfilled the car. Just from the intro, Damon could tell it wasn’t Chloe’s style.

When the lyrics started, Damon’s grip on the steering wheel wavered.

“Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur

Damon couldn’t help but laugh at the absurdity of it all. Chloe, on the other hand, didn’t even sparehim a glance. She stared out the window, seemingly enjoying the music, leaving Damon helpless.

“Let me explain.”

Chloe remained unmoved.

“It wasn’t my idea. It was Nate’s.”

Chloe didn’t turn to look at him, but responded, “Nate is indeed useful. He’s always there whenneeded.”

Damon rubbed his forehead. “It was really him.”

“So why hasn’t he found a girlfriend with all his charm?” Chloe’s tone was noticeably irritated.

Damon was quiet for a moment “Maybe it’s time for him to replace someone.”

“Right He’s spent all these years helping you charm women Chloe paused before suddenly turningto look at Damon, her eyebrow raised “Did you pursue me on your own, or did Nate come up withthe idea? Should I be your girlfriend, or should I be Nate’s

The car abruptly pulled over Damon turned to Chloe, his expression darkened “What did you say?Say it again

Chloe froze, not daring to speak She looked down at her phone and turned the music up to itsmaximum volume

The lyrics seemed to defuse Damon’s anger. A moment later, he sighed and said, ‘Of course it wasme who pursued you. If you don’t believe me, just ask the twins in your belly”

Chloe moved her lips, but didn’t speak. She knew the truth. But was that the real issue?

“Why didn’t you tell me the gift was that.”

Damon gave a helpless look. “If you knew what the gift was, would you have given it away?”

“You knew I would like it? You weren’t planning on giving it to me?!”

“Don’t you like alpacas?”

“Just because I like alpacas doesn’t mean I can’t like kittens.”

The lyrics played on: “Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur…”

Damon’s brow twitched. “Do you want a human–shaped cat?”

Chloe turned to look at him, blinking in confusion. “Huh?”

Damon reached out, tapping her forehead. Then, under Chloe’s gaze, he pulled her closer andkissed her lips, lingering for a moment.

Chloe froze, realizing what Damon was suggesting.

Damon’s deep voice echoed in the car. “Do you want me, the human–shaped cat?”

Chloe blushed. She pushed against his chest, her face turning crimson. “No, no. You’re not soft orcute, and you can’t meow. What would I want you for?”

Damon raised an eyebrow, leaning closer to whisper in her ear. His hot breath lingered, then a softsound echoed in her ear it was light, like a feather, but it exploded like a bomb in Chloe’s ear Shesat there, stunned, as if she had been blown to the moon and back. It took a while before she finallyregained her senses. “You you.”

Damon looked slightly embarrassed but decided to take control of the situation. “So do you want meor not?”

Chloe blinked a few times, slowly regaining her senses. A small crease formed between her browsas she said, “What did you just do? Do it again, then I’ll decide.”

Damon let go of her, silently restarting the car’s engine.

Sensing Darmon’s sudden silence, Chloe hurriedly said, “Why aren’t you speaking? What was thatthing you did? I haven’t made a decision yet. Do it again, this time I’ll truly pay attention.”
