Chapter 1713

With Yasmine around, Chloe seemed to fade into the background. And that perfectly facilitatedDamon’s intention of taking her away

He had initially considered settling the score with her for being absent for two nights, but uponseeing her in a bad mood, he decided to let go of that.

Yeah, just like that. Simply because she was down. And that was a big deal.

“Why didn’t you tell me my mom was coming?”

Damon raised an eyebrow, “You weren’t home.” He had decided to let this issue slide, but shebrought it up again. It seemed he was destined to deal with it after all?

His response was nonchalant, yet it carried an undertone of complaint.

Chloe cast him a side glance. “What about a phone call?“e2

Damon fell silent for a moment, “She informed me only after her flight had landed.”

Chloe paused, arching one of her delicate eyebrows at him. “So what’s the point of me goinghome?”

Damon didn’t know how to respond. This woman had a quick mind.

Damon promptly pinned Chloe onto the car seat, planting a series of hasty kisses on her before hemurmured. “That’s the point.” Chloe’s lips were red tinted from his kisses. She looked at him with ahint of annoyance, but didn’t say anything.

Sensing her lack of enthusiasm, Damon’s brow furrowed slightly. He instructed Nate to drive themto the hotel.

Once they got out of the car, Chloe was as cool as a cucumber. She gave a faint smile to Nate, whohad opened the car door for her, thanked him softly, and promptly headed towards the hotelentrance. Nate scratched his head, watching Chloe’s retreating figure with a puzzled expression.

Damon was obviously not pleased.

As the extremely loyal and versatile assistant, Nate kindly reminded. “Sir, with her mood lately… Iheard that pregnant women are prone to depression.”

With a sudden “thud“. Nate was kicked from behind, stumbling a few steps forward and nearlyfalling flat on his face. When he looked back at Damon, the man’s face was as gloomy as if he wasthe devil himself.

Even though his reminder was well–intended, it was not always well–received. Nate stood up,silently retreating to the side.

Damon walked past him, but then paused. “Keep an eye on those women.”

“Yes, sir.”

Chloe waited for Damon in the hotel lobby, where it was warmer. Damon approached her, swept herinto his arms, and escorted her into the elevator. His silence made Chloe feel guilty and remorseful.

However, witnessing the reunion between her mother and grandmother after decades, left her withmixed feelings. This reunion, separated not only by time but also by several near–deathexperiences and twists of fate, was all thanks to Ava. So, compared to that, Ava’s current conditionseemed somewhat unsatisfactory.

But it was her business, and transferring her negative emotions onto Damon only amplified her guiltwithout alleviating her feelings.

Watching the numbers steadily climb on the elevator panel, Chloe turned around silently, wrappedher arms around his strong waist, and buried her face in Damon’s firm, warm chest.

Damon allowed her to move freely, stroking her head gently, his tender actions intensifying her guilt.“I don’t know why I can’t let go. But I can’t stand the fact that their existence has completely ruinedmy mother’s life”

For decades, there was a separation between her mother and grandmother She, herself, had beenin the dark about her mother’s fate for nearly seven years, and there were also numerousassassination attempts and threats.

She couldn’t bring herself to be merciful She was a bad person, but in front of Damon, she didn’twant him to think she was rotten to the core. Everyone wanted to be seen as a good person bythose they cared about

Damon gently played with her hair, kissing her head, his deep voice echoing above her “So what?Why do you need to let go?”

When Chloe lifted her head to look at him, Damon quirked his lips, “They’ve done so manyunforgivable things, so why are you agonizing over whether to forgive them or not?”

Chloe was taken aback.

“You did the right thing. You didn’t hesitate over such issues before, so why are you hesitatingnow?”

Chloe stared at him for a while, blinked her eyes, her expression somewhat aggrieved. She touchedher belly and slowly said, “I’m afraid our babies will think I’m a bad person. If I’m too bad, will theyend up disliking me?”

Damon didn’t say anything.

Did those unborn little bunnies already have such a strong presence? Wouldn’t they trample himonce they were born? Damon’s expression couldn’t exactly be described as pleasant.

Chloe’s hand snaked into his suit, clutching the sides of his shirt around his waist. “What’s wrong?Do you also think this is a serious issue?”

Damon shook his head, “No worries.”

Chloe was still a bit anxious, “The issue of prenatal education is very important. What if they learnbad things from me?”

Damon murmured: “A good spanking will do the trick.”

Chloe’s eyes widened in shock, and she took a deep breath. Taking a couple of steps back, shecowered in the corner of the elevator, staring at him defensively.

Damon pinched the bridge of his nose. “Come here.”

Chloe shook her head.

Damon sighed, his eyes falling on her belly, “That was just a hypothetical scenario. You’re not bad,they’ll be fine, so they won’t get spanked,

Chloe relaxed a bit. “You’re their dad, you know?”

Damon chuckled, “I know.”

“So.

“So I’ll try not to spank them.”

“Try?!”

“Definitely.”

The elevator doors opened at that moment. Damon reached out, pulled her into his arms, andwalked out of the elevator with her. “Daddy”

Damon was taken aback.

“Daddy?”

“Daddy of my babies.”

Damon: “I won’t spank them, okay? You don’t need to remind me constantly.”

Chloe: “Okay”

Yasmine’s legs were still somewhat inconvenient. She had rushed over out of concern for theQueen, not caring about her own condition. She knew she couldn’t hide something like this. Later intheir conversation, she confessed everything to the Queen

At this point, the Queen was worried, but she had no choice but to accept

When asked about her life over the years, Yasmine just smiled and brushed it off. Love and family,they were all in the past for

her.

Yasmine may have spoken confidently and fluently, but her tendency to dodge sensitive topics andthe subtle emotions that seeped through her words let the Queen know that she hadn’t been doingwell all these years. The Queen felt even more remorseful, thinking that if she had stayed by herdaughter’s side all those years, she would surely be the happiest child in the

world.

The news of Yasmine’s return spread throughout the entire palace and even beyond its walls by thefollowing day.

This left Ava in a state of such restlessness that she could hardly sit still. Yet all she could do was towreck her home while not daring to set foot outside her house.

Barbara found herself utterly perplexed and frustrated by Ava’s behavior these past few days.
