Chapter 1712

Queen Julia cast a cautious glance at Chloe, whose eyes were filled with a hint of melancholy thatwas rather heartbreaking. “Seems like that he indeed knows how to win a woman’s heart.”

Chloe took a deep breath, and her expression seemed to have turned somewhat unpleasant.

Queen Julia, who had never been good at offering comfort, was at a loss seeing Chloe’sexpression. “Well, I can tell he is a good man, he’s probably not the type to flirt around. Trust is themost important thing in a relationship.”

Chloe managed a smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes, “I know that.”

But knowing didn’t ease her worry Damon had a way with women, and she wasn’t the only one.This fact unsettled her. At the thought that Damon might treat other women the same way hetreated her, a feeling of suffocation and unease welled up in her chest, even though she knew sheshouldn’t feel like this.

Fiona once said that it was not good for a woman to be too understanding. It led to beingoverlooked and taken for granted, which often resulted in men cheating. Despite Fiona beingyounger than her and not always offering the best advice, Chloe had to agree on this one. After all,her ex, Lance, was a perfect example of a man who took advantage of her understanding nature.

Hmph Was she a magnet that attracted jerks?e2

Queen Julia opened and closed her mouth, at a loss for words. It was a sensitive topic, and she feltlike no matter what she said, she might say something wrong. The atmosphere turned awkward,fortunately, Lea soon walked in. No. It would be more accurate to say she ran in

She had been by Queen Julia’s side for decades and was no longer young. Seeing her hobble in,Queen Julia and Chloe couldn’t help but stare at her. “Lea, what’s the rush?”

Lea

shed in, collapsing to her knees in front of Queen Julia, She gripped the Queen’s hand, looked up ather, tears streaming

down her face.

“Your Majesty…”

Lea’s voice was filled with grief and an indescribable emotion, “Your Majesty… Princess… she…”

Queen Julia had never seen Lea so distraught before. She bent down to support her by the arm andsoftly asked, “Lea, what

happened?”

Lea shook her head then nodded. “The princess, she has returned.”

Chloe frowned Ava? Barbara? Becky? But would their return cause Lea to be so upset?

However, Queen Julia stared at Lea for a few moments, then suddenly grabbed her hand, her voicetrembling as she asked, “You… you’re talking about… her…” She hesitated to say the name. Afterso many years of disappointment, the pain of broken hopes was too hard to bear.

Lea nodded vigorously, “Yes, it’s….

Queen Julia staggered a couple of steps, tears welling up in her eyes. She looked towards thegreenhouse’s entrance, her grip on Lea’s hand trembling. Chloe, too, had now realized who theywere talking about, and she watched the entrance in stunned

silence

Queen Julia slowly placed her hand over her heart, as if to calm her racing heartbeat. She bit herlip, her gaze fixed on the entrance, filled with a desperate hope, as if she were waiting for asalvation.

Finally, the curtain at the greenhouse’s entrance was pulled back, and two figures slowly came intoview.

Damon’s tall and imposing figure was the first to catch the eye, but a second later, when the womanhe was holding appeared, the greenhouse fell into an eerie silence.

Not a sound could be heard. Even the sound of breathing.

Yasmine, with Damon’s large hand gripping her arm, walked with a slightly stiff and strainedposture.

Damon’s gaze fell on Chloe the moment he entered His dark eyes held a hint of resentment, butChloe didn’t notice.

Damon pursed his lips. Although the situation wasn’t ideal, he couldn’t help but feel slighted. He hadbrought her mother here Didn’t she at least owe him a look of admiration?

At that moment, Yasmine’s attention was focused solely on Queen Julia Her lips moved for a longtime, but no sound came out. The word she had hardly ever uttered felt so foreign that shestruggled to speak it. Only heaven knew how much that one call

meant to her.

For the first time, Chloe saw her mother appear so anxious and flustered. She could probablyunderstand why her mother was

acting like this, but she couldn’t truly empathize.

Queen Julia’s grip on Lea’s hand was so tight it was almost bone–crushing, but Lea bit her lip anddidn’t utter a sound. Tears silently streamed down her face. No one in the world understood QueenJulia better than she did, and no one knew how thrilled the Queen must be feeling at that moment.This was a scene she had dreamed of countless times.

Queen Julia’s toes moved slightly, but as she took a step, she stumbled and almost fell. Chloe andLea rushed to support her.

Yasmine, standing at the entrance, also took a step forward, but a pang of pain made her furrow hereyebrows. Yet, she didn’t stop Noticing her intention, Damon helped her walk towards Queen Julia.

When they were in front of Queen Julia, Yasmine gently pushed Damon away and stood alone infront of the Queen.

Queen Julia’s gaze roamed greedily over Yasmine’s face, her expression betraying heruncontrollable emotions.

“Yas. Her hoarse voice barely managed to utter a word before being choked by a surge of emotion.

Yasmine nodded, tears welled up in her eyes, “It’s me, mother.”

“Mother” that word made Queen Julia take a deep breath, walking forward and reaching out hertrembling hand to stroke

Yasmine’s face. Thank heavens you’re alive.”

Yasmine bit her lip as tears fell.

Queen Julia wiped away her tears as they fell, finally opening her arms to pull her into a warmembrace. The tangible sensation made Queen Julia close her eyes tightly, her hand gently strokingYasmine’s hair, her voice filled with boundless sorrow. “My child, my dear child

Reunions didn’t always require a lot of words. Sometimes, a simple call to each other can be morepowerful than the most eloquent speeches in the world.

Chloe’s eyes began to sting, so she turned her gaze away. She was never comfortable with theseemotional scenes. She had been crying a lot recently.

Damon silently walked up to her, lightly cupped her head with his hand, and pulled her into hisarms.
