He withdrew his hand from inside her clothes.
Chloe breathed a sigh of relief, sat up, and straightened her clothes. Her bra had been undone by Damon. Chloe fumbled with it behind her back for a while, but still couldn't fasten it.
"Let me help you."
Damon pulled Chloe into his arms, helping her buckle up her bra before letting go of her clothes. Chloe hooked the hair that was hanging in front of her behind her ears.
At this moment, a servant knocked on the room door.
"Mr. Harper, Mrs. Harper's dinner has arrived."
"Come in."
Damon responded, reaching out to adjust the blanket for Chloe.
The servant set the meal, then respectfully said to Damon as he was about to leave, "Mr. Harper, dinner in the main hall will begin soon."
"Got it."
The meal was very light, just the way Chloe liked it.
Damon sat by the bed, quietly accompanying her while eating, cutting fruits for her and putting them on the plate. By the time Chloe finished eating, the fruit plate was piled high.
"I can't eat anymore."
"Save it." Damon glanced at the time and stood up. "I'm going to check on the main hall. What do you want to do?"
Chloe practically threw off the blanket the moment Damon stood up.
"I haven’t breathed fresh air all day. I want to go out for a walk."
Damon made a stern face. "Don’t be ridiculous. You’ve just gotten a bit better. What if you get worse?"
Chloe looked disappointed. "It's really stuffy to stay in the room all day."
She turned her head to look out the window. Damon stared at her for a long time, sighed, and gave in again.
"You can't go anywhere else, just walk around in the yard."
"…Okay."
Before Damon left, he found a warm coat for Chloe. "Dress warmly when you go out. If you get sick again... I might as well have you hospitalized."
He spoke seriously, his handsome face looking very stern. But Chloe just smiled. "I got it. I won’t run around!"
Chloe stood by the window, watching Damon's figure leave. This cold and elegant man took care of her in unexpected ways.
Her eyes shifted, and under the dim light in the courtyard, she saw a pool in the corner.
A heated pool.
Ariana kept shifting her gaze. She looked at Damon for a while, then at Nathan. Both men were attractive, which made her feel conflicted and satisfied. Although she was infatuated with them, she didn't lose her mind.
When Freya mentioned her, she quickly retracted her gaze, looked at the old man at the main seat, and smiled obediently, "I'm looking forward to seeing Alyssa."
"You can go back, but don't talk to her about irrelevant things."
"I understand." Ariana nodded.
Seeing Ariana's gracious manner, Freya was satisfied, and smiled at Damon, who was leisurely eating, "It's a pity that so many people came today, but we didn't see the future Mrs. Harper. Damon, she's at home, right? Is she feeling better? She should meet everyone, even just to chat. Today, everyone is here. And letting her get to know everyone in advance, it's not a bad thing."
Damon swallowed his food, then looked at Freya with a flat gaze.
"She's not feeling well."
He spoke as if reaffirming a fact that had been stated long ago, leaving no room for doubt, making people feel a chill.
Freya immediately shut up, "Oh... it seems she’s really sick, then she needs to rest well."
Just a cold, who hadn't had a cold? It was like she had a serious illness!
She sneered in her heart, feeling very upset, "I've also been sick these days, afraid of infecting everyone. But today, with everyone having dinner, it would have been really impolite had I not shown up..."
Damon looked serious.
Nathan, leaning on his chair, said, "Freya, you really are sick, you should take more medicine when you go back. By the way, do we have cold medicine at home? If not, I can have someone deliver some to you."
