Presley was seriously ill right now. If he heard this, he'd probably get so pissed that his condition would deteriorate!
Seeing their firm commitment, Nate breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay."
The security guards said in unison to Chloe:
"Thank you."
"......"
Nate's feelings were complicated right now, both happy and conflicted.
Chloe was always smart, and the words from these men made her blush and look shy, which was quite captivating to them.
They all awkwardly looked away.
Nate secretly breathed a sigh of relief and walked through the gate with Chloe.
The villa was huge. Nate led Chloe straight to the backyard where Damon lived, only to see Nathan in a navy blue robe, sauntering over.
Seeing Nate, Nathan frowned, looking serious.
"Nate, why are you back?"
His eyes warily looked at Chloe standing behind Nate.
"Things are cool in P City for now, so I came back to see if I could help."
Chloe kept her head down. Nathan couldn't see her face, but he still stared at her, telling Nate:
"The situation in P City is what's important now, get it? You dare to leave Chloe alone in P City?"
Nathan said, took two steps closer to Chloe, pinched her chin and asked:
"Also, who is this, why is he keeping his head down......"
As soon as Nathan forcefully lifted Chloe's face, he was speechless. He stared at Chloe for a while, his eyes wide open. Suddenly, he withdrew his hand and took a few steps back.
"Holy cow!"
When Nathan's back was against the stone railing of the flower bed, he finally steadied himself and let out a shocked cry.
"Chloe...what...how..."
Chloe glanced at him and touched her own chin.
Nathan suddenly felt that the hand he had just pinched her chin with was a bit hot. He silently rubbed his hands together.
"Where is he?"
Chloe's voice rang out coldly.
The night was a bit chilly, and the hot spring pool was steaming hot, with mist swirling around.
Vaguely, one could see a person sitting quietly at the edge of the hot spring pool near the entrance.
His upper body was bare, sitting by the spring, with eyes slightly closed.
The light shone through the steam of the hot spring, illuminating his handsome face, his features clear, and his expression cold.
The fatigue of the recent days was gradually relieved in the hot spring, and Damon, who had been frowning, also gradually relaxed.
Behind him, there was a faint sound of footsteps. Damon's hand resting on the edge of the hot spring pool was put down and immersed in the warm water. He guessed it might be a masseuse Nathan had gotten, so he spoke coldly.
"I don't need a massage, get out."
His voice was without a hint of warmth, almost freezing the hot spring pool.
Chloe stopped. Now, the man she hadn't seen for days was right there. Through a thin layer of steam, she could vaguely see his mysterious and radiant figure, but it made her feel afraid to approach.
But he was always like this. Here, he was not the man who would yield and indulge her in every possible way.
Chloe stared at the hazy figure in front of her, her eyes also seemed to be shrouded in a layer of fog, making it impossible for anyone to see what she was thinking at the moment.
Damon heard the footsteps behind him suddenly stop.
He thought the other party would leave after hearing his words, but the footsteps didn't leave, they got closer instead.
