Chapter 31
Chloe was a bit surprised. She stared at the apple but didn’t reach out to take it.
Damon shook his beautiful pale hand again and whispered, “We’ve been chatting for so long aren’t you thirsty?”
Alyssa raised her eyebrows slightly, picked up the teacup on the coffee table, took a sip, and said nothing.
Chloe carefully took the apple, accidentally touching Damon’s fingertips and feeling a bit cold.
“Thanks”
She lowered her head took a bite of the apple, and the crisp chewing sound was quite pleasant.
A glint flashed in Damon’s eyes, and he put the fruit knife on the coffee table, grabbed a couple of napkins, and began to carefully wipe his long, bony fingers.
His movements were very precise, showing that he didn’t do this kind of thing often.
Seeing Chloe start eating the apple, a smile appeared on Alyssa’s face. She looked at Damon, satisfied but also a bit envious
She had never eaten an apple peeled by him in all these years
and he was her own grandson!
If only Chloe wasn’t here today!
Humphi
The apple was really sweet, so sweet that Chloe fell sweetness in her heart.
“Chloe, what does your friend’s company do?”
The living room was very quiet. Alyssa picked up where Damon left off and asked again.
They’re Spotlight Beauty, they’ve been building their own factory recently, they’re very busy.”
‘I see
Alyssa nodded.
They chatted about some simple things, and as Chloe finished her apple, Hannah came over to remind them to have dinner.
Having eaten such a big apple, Chloe had little appetite left. But they had been waiting for so long, and she had already promised to have dinner with the old lady, so she couldn’t refuse.
Before sitting down, Damon pulled out a chair for her. She thanked him softly, sat down, and Damon pushed the chair in a bit Their cooperation was seamless, and the position was just right. Then Damon sat down beside Chloe.
Alyssa sat across from them, looking satisfied.
Hannah seemed to always be by the old lady’s side, even when eating, she stood by
Though Chloe had already eaten something she still picked up her knife and fork and began to eat
She didn’t slouch in her chair; her shoulders were straight, her back was upright, her chin slightly tucked, and her long lashes slightly lowered. She didn’t look down at the food on her plate, and even the way she chewed showed her excellent upbringing and manners
Hannah secretly nodded and exchanged a glance with the old lady, her eyes full of satisfaction.
After dinner, they rested for a while. It was getting dark, and Chloe could no longer stay, so she got up to say goodbye.
Damon also stood up, and the waiter quickly brought his suit jacket.
‘Til walk you out.”
His voice was habitually deep and clear, a simple sentence revealing an unyielding determination that was hard to refuse.
Chloe didn’t refuse
The two left together, still choosing the fastest route
“When can you be discharged? Damon’s deep voice echoed above Chloe’s head.
“Probably the day after tomorrow Damon was silent for a moment, then added, “I might be very busy for the next few days.”
Chloe walked through the gate and turned to face him
“I can handle it on my own.”
She seemed to understand the meaning of his words.
Nevertheless, on the day of her discharge, Damon still came
