Damon's large hand gently held Chloe's, their fingers interlocked. 4Man, that move was heart-fluttering!
All the socialites didn't know how to describe their feelings at that moment.
Chloe gritted her teeth secretly, regained some sanity, and then looked up at Damon with a somewhat shy face.
"I want to know, why... why are you holding me?"
People around thought: This kid is so naive! Does 'he' even need to ask? This guy is obviously trying to woo 'him'!
Damon chuckled. A few seconds later, he slowly lowered his head and planted a kiss on Chloe's soft lips.
Then he whispered: "Now you know why?"
For a moment, the room fell silent. It was as if you could hear the sound of hearts breaking in the air.
Chloe didn't expect Damon to do such a thing in front of everyone, and she was a bit taken aback.
"I... I don't quite understand."
Damon's hand slowly slid down from her waist. Chloe's body stiffened slightly.
Damon chuckled, then bent down again, his lips close to Chloe's ear, whispering: "Do you want to go with me so I can explain it to you?"
His voice wasn't low; people around could hear it. How charming that deep voice was, only those who had experienced it would know.
His voice was the clearest to her, his breath sprayed on her skin, a kind of torment. What was even more unbearable for her was that with each word he said, his hot lips would brush lightly against her ear, making her heart itch unbearably.
"Hm? Do you want to go with me?" Damon asked her patiently again.
Chloe gave him a glance and then gently nodded.
"Okay, I'll go with you."
The socialites suddenly became alarmed and shook their heads at Chloe.
Seeing Chloe's nod, Damon smiled in satisfaction and lowered his head once again to place a deep kiss on her lips before wrapping her in his arms.
"Let's go."
Chloe was buried in his arms and responded with a muffled "Mm".
Damon looked at her affectionately, and was about to turn around and leave with her in his arms, but Chloe grabbed his collar tightly. He stopped and asked her: "What's wrong?"
Chloe was silent for a while before whispering: "My legs are weak."
A flash of surprise passed through Damon's eyes, but he quickly smiled.
In a moment, he bent over and picked her up. Then, in front of everyone's gaze, he strode away with her in his arms.
Nathan and Angie were dumbfounded by this "strange" scene, their minds in chaos.
Damon's eyes flickered, and the hand pinching her chin loosened.
"I just came to socialize tonight, it's my grandfather's request."
Chloe laughed and pushed his hand aside.
"Grandfather's request." She repeated Damon's words, smiled at him, "If grandfather asks you to marry another woman today, would you agree?"
Damon frowned, "I've never thought about marrying anyone else but you."
Chloe looked straight at him, "But you will marry someone else sooner or later, won't you?"
Damon's heart stirred, he reached out to touch her head, leaned over and kissed her lips.
"You've always known. Stop making a fuss."
Chloe took a deep breath and said, "Sometimes I wish I could be like other women, not thinking too much, just arguing with you based on what I see on the surface. But there are things I understand very well. If I fight with you, not only will you think I'm unreasonable, but I'll think the same about myself. But in the end, you lied to me... even if I know why you did it, I still feel uncomfortable..."
Her voice trembled slightly, full of contradictions and struggles. In the end, she chose to suppress her emotions to accommodate him, and digest all the issues by herself...
But, what did he just say?
Since she understood, she should stop making a fuss...
He told her to stop making a fuss...
