Damon gently stroked her hair, nodding, “Sure, whatever you say. There's a lot to be happy about.For example, I'm the wealthiest, and our little ones will only grow up in the best environments,perfect in every way, right?"
Thinking about their children's worry-free future, a bright light gradually ignited in Chloe's eyes. Shewas determined to love them dearly, very, very much. She wanted to watch them grow from infancy,providing them with the best genes, the best life, and the most abundant love.
Nothing was more important than their babies now.
It was evident that Chloe's emotions had genuinely shifted at this moment. Damon kissed the tip ofher nose, feeling reassured, but there was still a hint of jealousy lingering. In the end, it was thosetwo little rascals that mattered most.
Elizabeth and the others didn't take long to rush over. When they returned to the hotel last night,they didn't replace Damon and Chloe. They later learned that the couple had returned to P Cityovernight. Upon seeing the overwhelming news on the Internet, they rushed back in a hurry.
Just as Damon finished comforting Chloe, Elizabeth stormed into the room. “Chloe!"
As Damon stood up, he was nudged aside by Elizabeth. She looked Chloe over from head to toebefore placing her hand on Chloe's belly, her face filled with worry. “Are you alright?"
Chloe calmed down, a warm feeling gradually emerging, “I'm fine."
Elizabeth's eyes started reddening, ‘Don't pretend to be strong for my sake. I don’t care howresilient you were in the past, but now you're as fragile as porcelain, you understand? You'repregnant and vulnerable to mood swings. This isn’t something you can just shrug off. Do you know
how many pregnant women suffer from prenatal depression? Your priority now is to take care ofyourself, you silly girl. What if something happened to you? How would I explain it to your mother?Of course, my grandchildren are also important."
The daughter-in-law was important, and so were the grandchildren. She had to treat them equally.
Elizabeth sobbed loudly, while Chloe patted her back gently, her voice filled with soothing tones,"I'm fine now.
I'll take care of myself"
Despite Chloe's soothing words, Elizabeth continued to sob, complaining, “Do you know howworried I've been lately? Could you please be more careful? You’re such a handful daughter-in-law.I'm nearly dying from the stress you've caused."
Her sobbing sounded heartbroken, as if she had suffered a great injustice. Chloe continued toconsole her, “I'm sorry. It's my fault. I won't be like this anymore, I'm sorry..."
Damon was taken aback, wondering who was the pregnant one here? The woman he justcomforted was now comforting someone else?
Eventually, Elizabeth was comforted by Chloe and lay against her chest, hiccuping from her recentsobbing.
Outside the villa, Royce offered Damon a cigarette. The two stood tall and silent for along whilebefore Damon finally broke the silence with a chilly voice. “Control your wife. Who's the pregnantone here?"
Royce took a drag from his cigarette, “You should control your wife too. Don't make my wife upsetand angry. If it weren't for her being your wife, do you think I'd let her off so easily?"
Damon's face visibly grew grim, "Why don't you control your father? Who do you think caused thissituation?"
Royce tugged at the corner of his mouth, “You're quite capable yourself. Do you think you cancontrol your father?"
Damon chuckled coldly, took a casual drag from his cigarette, turned his head towards Royce andsaid, "Wanna try?"
Royce extinguished his cigarette and tossed it into a nearby trash can. He placed his hands in hispockets, turned his head to Damon, and said, “Let's go."
Damon did the same with his cigarette, “Let's go.”
The two men eyed each other for a few seconds before turning to head to the backyard for a spar.But then, they heard Elizabeth's nasal voice from the doorway. “Honey, Chloe’s hungry. She wantsyour chicken pie."
Royce paused and turned to look at Elizabeth. Her eyes were still red. When she saw him looking,she grinned, “I recommended it to Chloe. I told her your cooking skills are top-notch. Chloe admiresyou a lot."
When Royce wasn't budging, Elizabeth pursed her lips and added, “I kind of want some, too."
Ahelpless smile played on Royce's handsome face. Eventually, he turned around and headedinside, with Elizabeth following behind him, chuckling, “Honey, your cooking is delicious. I miss yourcooking.,."
“Mhm, I know."
“You're so good, honey. On behalf of our daughter-in-law, thank you."
"Stop using her as an excuse."
“Hehehe"
Well, Damon didn’t even need to show up. With just a few words from a woman, his dad was undercontrol.
There was no challenge at all.
He was about to go inside to accompany Chloe, but remembering he just smoked, he stayedoutside to let the smell of smoke dissipate.
A few minutes later, a blue sedan slowly pulled up outside the mansion. Damon squinted as aslender figure stepped out of the car.
“Huh? Did you know I was coming and decided to greet me in advance?"
Damon frowned, "What are you doing here?"
Rose stepped up onto the porch, “Of course, I came to see my dear Chloe. Mr. Damon, do yourealize the consequences of making a pregnant woman upset?"
Rose passed by Damon and walked straight into the living room.
“Chloe!"
"Rose?"
Two excited voices sounded one after the other. Damon furrowed his brows, not looking pleased,but he still didn’t go in. He stood at the entrance for over ten minutes until another car pulled upoutside. Nathan got out of the car, holding Anya, followed by Yulia.
Nathan: "Well, look who's waiting for us. We're humbled by your welcome, bro."
Anya: “Damon. Are your wife's babies doing well?"
Yulia: “Hello, Damon. How's Chloe?"
As they entered the house, Chloe's surprise echoed through the room.
"Yulia? Anya?!"
“Hello, Chloe."
"Chloe, Hug."
“Chloe, I'm still here, you know.’ Nathan protested, feeling ignored.
Damon sighed. Though he found none of them particularly endearing, as long as Chloe was happy,that was all that mattered to him. His emotional state was hardly important.
However, it seemed everyone else agreed on that as well. His feelings weren't that important.
The afternoon slipped away as they chatted and laughed together.
At dinner time, Rose decided to sit next to Chloe, effectively taking Damon's place. The women andchild at the table left no room for the men to contribute to the conversation.
With Anya around, there was never a dull moment in the house. Elizabeth naturally adored thechild, replaceing her incredibly cute. Anya's occasional hilarious remarks had everyone in fits oflaughter.
Rose and Chloe, both expectant mothers, were overflowing with maternal affection. Seeing Anya,they imagined their own babies being just as adorable.
The cheerful atmosphere persisted until late night, when everyone decided to stay.
Rose: "I'm sleeping with Chloe tonight."
Damon's face darkened, "Go back to your quest room"
Rose scrunched up her face, "Why so mean? It's not like you can do anything with Chloe now thatshe's pregnant. Can't you just let me sleep with her tonight?"
Damon's expression left no room for argument. Chloe looked at him apologetically, “Maybe youcould just..."
Before she could finish, Damon's gaze drilled into her. His look clearly said, "Dare to finish thatsentence."
Chloe shrunk back, looking incredibly wronged.
Upon seeing this, Elizabeth frowned, “What are you doing?! How can you be so mean to mydaughter-in-law?!
Don't you know she's pregnant? Now that you've got her, you think you can be a jerk?! You're ascumbag!"
Damon grimaced. Chloe quickly got up to calm him down. "Don't say that. Damon is really nice.He's not.."
Elizabeth wouldn't hear of it, "I don't care. Yelling at your wife, especially a pregnant one? If that'snot being a scumbag, what is?"
Damon's face was now indescribably unpleasant.
Chloe patted Damon's chest, "Don't be mad. I think you're great, really great."
"Chloe, stop pampering him. Men can't be spoiled, you know? They'll walk all over you. Tonight,you're sleeping with Rose. If not, I'll join you."
At this point, the silent Royce finally put down his glass and stood up, lifting Elizabeth off theground.
"Hey, what are you doing? I was just lecturing that brat! No, put me down. I want to sleep with Chloeand Rose tonight."
"Why are you butting in? You'll just get in the way of their sisterly chat."
"Well, right."
Damon once again felt that his father was a cunning old fox.
“Anya wants to sleep with Chloe and Rose too. Yulipop should join us."
Nathan, casually reclining on the couch, raised an eyebrow at the excited Anya. "The bed's toosmall. Can't fit everyone."
Anya pouted at Nathan's comment. Damon smirked, adding, “Anya's small. She can squeeze in.But your Yulipop can't."
At this, Yulia‘s smile turned stiff, and she tensed up a bit.
Anya looked torn, thinking for a while before finally speaking. “Then Yulipop can sleep with bigNathan, and Anya will sleep with Rose and Chloe."
Yulia didn't expect Anya to switch sides so quickly. This little traitor.
“Anya, Rose and Chloe can't sleep with kids now. They're carrying babies, and you might hurt themin your sleep."
Nathan interjected, "Anya sleeps like an angel."
Anya nodded vigorously, "Yeah, yeah, I’m a good girl."
Yulia: "That's not okay, Anya."
Anya's face fell, looking like she was about to cry. Rose, sitting next to Anya, couldn't stand to seeher upset and quickly hugged her. "It's alright, Anya, don't cry. You can sleep with me tonight."
With tears in her eyes, Anya looked at Yulia pitifully. Yulia felt awkward but Nathan just nodded."Since Rose said it's okay, you can sleep with her"
Anya clapped her hands in joy. Rose shot Nathan a look and rolled her eyes. What a transparentscheme.
Nevertheless, she reassured Yulia, "Don't worry, it'll be fine. Think of it as a trial run for me as amother."
At this point, it would be awkward if Yulia continued to refuse. Finally, she relented, “You have tobehave, Anya.
If you don't, I'll bring you back here: Anya nodded earnestly, clinging to Rose and refusing to let go.
Nathan put away his phone and got up from the couch, "It's getting late. Let's go to bed."
The next moment, Yulia found her wrist grabbed and she was pulled up from the couch. Chloelooked at her, causing Yulia to blush and lower her head.
Watching Yulia and Nathan leave, Chloe smiled slightly, rather curious about their unique dynamic.It seemed that Nathan was only like that around Yulia. But then again, someone with Yulia’spersonality indeed needed a more assertive man.
"Chloe, let's go. Let's hang out in the room." Rose pulled Anya to her feet.
Without missing a beat, Damon wrapped his arms around her, preventing her from moving. Chloewas silent for a moment before looking up at him, and asked tentatively, “How about I go chat withRose for a while, and come back to the room later. I want to have a heart-to-heart with Rose."
A dull headache began to form between Damon's brows as Chloe stared up at him with puppy-dogeyes. Left with no choice, he was the one to back down. "Just for a bit, I'll wait for you."
Chloe nodded slightly, “Okay."
Yulia found herself being led upstairs by Nathan, her heart pounding as if it was about to leap out ofher chest.
